Moments Made Meaningful

Timeless photography for weddings, families, and everything in between across Derbyshire, Peak District and Staffordshire.

Capturing photographs that feel like you!

I use simple prompts rather than stiff poses, giving you something natural to do together so you can focus on each other instead of the camera.
For couples, that might mean walking, cuddling, chatting or having a little fun together. For families, it might be playing with the kids, tickling, exploring or simply enjoying being together.
By letting you be yourselves, we capture the genuine laughs and moments that make the photos feel very personal to you.

Photography for weddings, families, and everything in between

Your Story, Your Way

Your wedding, not a day long photoshoot

Wedding Photography

Wedding services

You’ve spent enough time planning your wedding, you shouldn’t have to spend the whole day posing for it too!

I take a documentary style approach to wedding photography. Capturing your day as it naturally happens., blending into the background and photographing all the moments you might otherwise miss.

My goal is for you to have an amazing day and barely notice I’m there. The photographs should simply be the lovely reminder of everything that happened.

Family life isn't perfectly posed, so your photographs don't need to be either.

Lifestyle & Family Sessions

Family services

I don't want your family session to feel like something you have to perform for, that's why I photograph families either in the comfort of their own home or outdoors.

I'll use gentle prompts to encourage natural moments rather than putting you into stiff poses. Children can run, play, explore and be their wonderfully unpredictable selves. 

There might be a bit of chaos and probably a few moments where nobody looks at the camera but honestly, that's exactly when the best photos happen.

Photographer, storyteller, and lover of real connection

Hi, I'm Sophie

LETS GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

As a wife and mum myself, I know just how quickly life changes. The moments you think you'll remember forever somehow become the moments you wish you could go back to, and that's a huge part of why I love what I do.

I've been working in the photography industry for over six years now and I genuinely don't think I'll ever stop loving it! Somehow I still get the same excitement from picking up my camera as I did when I first started.

Of course, taking a good photograph matters. But I think there's something just as important that not every photographer has.... knowing how to read a room and anticipating a moment before it actually happens. I know when to step forward and capture something important and when to hang back and let the moment happen naturally. It's how I can photograph your wedding or family without making everything feel like a photoshoot.

I think when you genuinely love what you do, it shows and I hope you can see that in my photographs.

Sophie was on of the photographers at our wedding and honestly could not recommend her enough. She got some amazing shots and made myself and my husband feel at ease all day. She's an absolutely a phenomenal photographer. She captured moments that we never want to forget and honestly can't thank her enough

Sophie recently took headshots for me. She is extremely attentive and goes out of her way to capture the best shots. Alongside this, Sophie edited the photos fantastically and turned the images around very quickly!

If you're wanting to book a personable and talented photographer, look no further! Thanks again, Sophie! :)

Sophie is absolutely amazing! She always listens to what we want on our shoots and always kills it! She is great at communicating and keep us updated about when the photos will be ready and is always willing to go above and beyond. She makes the girls feel confident on shoot and really sees our vision! We have done a few shoots with Sophie already and already have more booked in!

Had a photoshoot for Miori Lane brand with Sophie today in Art Hub studio and hands down one of the best photographers I worked with. From very beginning to the end she is a very professional, proactive and organised as well as a fabulous photographer. Was great in advising and directing models as well as time management.

It was a pleasure to work with Sophie and looking forward to work with her again in the future !!

I've had two sessions with Sophie and highly recommend her! She is friendly and super easy to work with; best of all, she puts you straight at ease. She also has super quick turnaround with her edits. Wouldn't hesitate to use Sophie again.

Sophie did some corporate head shots for me. I hate having my photo taken, but she massively put me at ease, made it fun and got some amazing shots. She was creative with the styling too rather than your bog standard corporate background. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
