Sophie Oldhamstead Photography

Thank you Sophie for capturing our days so beautifully! Everyone felt so at ease with you and it really shows! We absolutely love the photos and video and would definitely recommend you to our family and friends.

We received our photos just before Christmas which was a wonderful surprise as it meant we could share our photos with family over the festive period. We didnt anticipate getting them back this soon as we know how much time goes into editing. Sophies talent really does shine through - the photos themselves are absolutely stunning with such depth in the autumnal colours and beautiful photos of the chapel that we got married in! Its also lovely to see that Sophie was able to capture the emotions in all of the photos of us and our guests. She thought of every tiny detail and was able to capture these even though we didnt specifically ask her to - the fact she got a photo of my dads and grandmas messages inside my dress made me cry all over again because I dont actually remember telling her that they were there! Finally, thank you for getting some stunning photos of Stuart and I, two incredibly unphotogenic people. Its a lovely feeling to look at a photo of ourselves and actually like how we look! Sophie was such a help all the way through our wedding planning; she advised us in timelines, sent an amazing booklet with photos and lots of tips and tricks that hadnt even crossed our mind and arranged a pre-wedding shoot with us. We felt instantly at ease and knew that Sophie would work absolute miracles on our wedding day. Thank you so much for capturing the most special day of our lives and enabling us to keep these memories forever!

We are so happy we found Sophie! Neither of us are big fans of having our photo taken and felt very awkward at the prospect but we met Sophie and felt instantly at ease and reassured by her approach. We didnt want a photographer who rules the day like so many do at weddings - we had witnessed some of our friends miss their whole drinks reception while their photographers bossed them about! Sophie felt like a friend hanging out with us putting us at ease and getting amazing shots - she blended into the day instead of taking over and suggested when to take photos but didnt push it. Our group photos were over in a few minutes and we could carry on with our day. Sophie let us decide when we were ready for evening shots instead of dragging us away from our party. Thank you Sophie

THE BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER in the business!! We absolutely adored our wedding photos, and couldn't recommend Sophie Oldhamstead highly enough. She smashed it. She was so helpful during the build-up to our wedding, full of great tips and advice and always reachable, regularly checking in with us. We felt totally relaxed and comfortable with her before the big day. Sophie knew the Baddow Park venue inside-out, where and when to take the best shots, making the day run smoothly. The sunset photos were spectacular. She was great with the kids! Made all the guests feel relaxed, honestly felt like having a friend there instead of a photographer :) The photo album was just beautiful. Book her whilst you can ... you won't regret it

Where to start with Sophie! Such an incredible photographer, we love every single one of our photos! From our first meeting we knew Sophie was right for us, very calm and relaxed and that was the exact approach we wanted. On the day Sophie was so helpful and went way beyond the call of duty! Her experience with weddings is invaluable, giving us tips and reminding us, it's our day. I couldn't recommend Sophie enough!
