As a human, I am here first to be your friend. To be your built-in wedding plans daydreamer, your professional dress fluffer, your peace keeper when you need it, your dance floor partner all night long. I believe deeply that your life is comprised of a million little magical moments that impact and shape you into who you are and who you become; if you blink, you might miss them.
As your photographer, I am here to document those sacred moments in the most honest and intentional way possible— through organic + heartfelt imagery. Turning these fleeting moments into artful heirlooms that will create your future nostalgia and tell your story for the rest of time. i’m forever fascinated by the way every couple and every wedding is so different from the last. As your storyteller, I promise to not only create dreamy as hell photos of you, but also to capture all the real, lived-in moments; the ugly cries, the belly laughs, the stolen kisses, the unscripted joy, and all the magic you didn't know was there.
keepsakes of your love that you'll want to have and hold — forever.
I'm here to give you

Why I believe in the magic of photography:
My dad's box of photos.
03
Almost so full the lid would get stuck. Decades of memories on yellowing images, instant polaroids, disposable film faded light leaks. Stories of old friends. grandparents I’d never meet. Adventures out west so cool they should be on a film screen. the french fries + strawberry shake he bought my mom on their first date. my siblings and the family dog. all of us blowing out candles on birthday cakes each year. the identical photo of us all smooshed under the tree every single Christmas. his artifacts of moments from countless years. the big. the ordinary. every small moment in between. so he could visit them and us in any time and any distance. the evidence of him and the things he loved and the life he fully lived.
I do it because he taught me how.
I didn’t know it then, but I know it now.
I do it because I want to be like him.
I do it because I want you
to have a box so full, too.
think we'd be a good fit? let's chat.

That’s why I refer to paying for wedding photography as an “investment.” you’re investing in the one tangible thing you will take with you when it’s all said done. it’s a truth universally acknowledged that photos are powerful. It is agreed that they can freeze moments in time, and hold the keys for you to time travel. have you ever looked through your parents or grandparent’s wedding albums, and flipped through the pages and felt as if you were almost right there with them? like you could almost have been there in the same room, present for a day you weren’t even alive to witness? That’s what photos can do; that’s why I believe they should be the thing you invest in. the photos we take + the moments I freeze in time for you become your legacy. One day these will become the photos your children and grand babies look “oooh and ahh” over. when we work together we are creating your future nostalgia. as a photographer i'm reminded often that i am the one who may take the last photo of you with some of the people nearest to your heart. One day these photographs become all we have left. it’s my biggest honor to be the one entrusted with this work, and i find so much joy in knowing that i can serve couples with this gift.
When the music fades, and the flowers die, when all the cake is eaten, and the lights go off, and when the memories inevitably become foggy... the only thing you have left to remember the happiest day of your life is is the photos of it.

weddings
here's my hot take: the "one size fits all" approach for wedding photography pricing doesn't serve couples well.
each wedding day is unique and completely different from the last, so i dont follow a "one-size-fits-all" approach. instead, i offer personalized options ranging from partial or full-day coverage all the way up to full wedding-weekend coverage. when you reach out, i will provide a custom quote tailored to your specific desires and needs. this way, your experience is completely your own, made just for you, and i'll capture every special moment until your story is told in full.
destination weddings are always welcomed! travel fees vary per location, and are included in your personalized quote.
packages can include:
engagement session, experienced second photographer, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, wedding weekend coverage, 35mm film, polaroids, bridal boudoir, honeymoon session, fine art album, etc
pricing begins at $3,500.
on average couples invest $4,000-6,000.

frequently asked questions
hell YES. I love to travel! I’ve documented wedding days + sessions all over the u.s. and internationally, and they have been some of my very favorite days to photograph. I have my bags packed at any time, and I will always prioritize capturing your stories wherever they unfold— whether that’s here in our backyard or jetsetting to a tropical island or a rugged national park. My travel fees are calculated on a case by case basis; reach out to me about your vision and where you dream of going and I’ll provide a custom quote! since I travel for about 70% of my work im pretty savvy when it comes to finding travel deals so I will always find us the most affordable prices ;) I take care of all the details + arrangements so there’s no added stress on you! Check out my bucket list locations for exclusive offerings on dreamy destinations that you can steal!
do you travel?
what are your travel fees?
this number varies from one session to the next; every couple is different and every session is different. on average, I deliver about 75-100 images from every hour of coverage I am booked for. I loooove to over-deliver though so rest assured that I will never put a limit to the amount of photos you receive back from me! I will deliver you every good photo I take during our time together. :)
how many images will we receive?
for sessions, you can expect your gallery in 3 weeks. for weddings and elopement galleries, delivery is 8-10 weeks. though in busy season or if I am traveling, these delivery times may take a little longer— but I will always communicate this to you! I always do my best to send a sneak peek gallery to you within a few days (yes, even for sessions!) so that you can get excited + share with friends/family or post right away, while im working my magic on your full gallery behind the scenes. You’ll receive your gallery in an online gallery with high-res and web-size images ready for downloading, printing and sharing.
when can we expect our images and how will we receive them?
well honey, that makes two of us! taking photos is always a little awkward for anyone (unless you’re a model, and if you are— I love that for you). But something I pride myself on is my ability to make people feel safe and comfortable around me; almost every single client of mine has come to me afterwards and said they felt like they were with a friend hanging out for a few hours and that they forgot the camera was even on them. If you can lean into the process, let go and trust me… I promise you we will make absolute magic. Because YOU are magic.
what if we’re awkward in front of the camera?
I shoot on two SD cards simultaneously. As soon as I am home for the night of your wedding/session, I upload them all onto two separate hard drives. I set aside one of those SD cards and it stays untouched with all your photos on it until your final gallery is delivered to you. This way at any given time, your photos are backed up in THREE separate places.
how do you back up your photos?
absolutely! and because it is a place that is so dear to my heart, I don’t charge any travel fees for weddings there. :)
do you still shoot weddings in virginia?
If we’re all honest, we know that life is unpredictable and can change quickly with things that sometimes are beyond our control. While this has never happened (thankfully) I ~always~ have a list of trusted friends in the industry who can step in if I get sick, hurt, etc. These photographers are people that I have worked with numerous times over the years and would trust with my own sacred memories. They’ll step into my place seamlessly, will love you and take care of you just as I would, and I’ll still do all the backend processing + editing.
what happens if you have an emergency?

There are so many wonderful things we can say about Sophie. From our initial emails to our first phone call, she & I just clicked. Working with Sophie was honestly like hanging out with a friend - I felt that before we even met. She also went out of her way to try & help me choose outfits for our engagement session! My husband is not one to enjoy being in front of the camera or have attention on him at all. However, Sophie made us both feel so comfortable, not only during our engagement session, but on our wedding day. She has this very down to earth, chill, & honest vibe about her and she will tell you what she thinks in a kind way. She is open to ideas and will also suggest things that she thinks would make for an amazing photo - and let me tell you....our pictures turned out MAGICAL! Like literally, all of them. I very much appreciate how she listened to what was important to me on our wedding day & made sure we got the photos we wanted. I honestly wish we had another reason to have photos taken right now because I would love to work with her again. I don't think we'll ever stop obsessing over all the photos she took of us during this special season in our lives.
"our pictures turned out MAGICAL!"

Sophie is truly one of a kind, my husband and I feel so lucky that we got to have her as our photographer for our wedding. We got married in a TROPICAL STORM; the whole day, at our outside venue was pouring rain and without any hesitation she embraced it. Not only did she ease our worries, she came prepared, umbrella hat and all. She made us excited for our rainy moody day instead of being upset about it. Not only were our photos absolutely incredible, her vibe and style was everything we could hope and ask for. I genuinely do not think anyone else could do such an amazing job than her. Not only is she talented, she’s kind, she’s very mindful of how she works with people, she has a passion for this and it shows. I am forever grateful for Sophie’s talent and friendship. We love her and you will too.
I will recommend her to everyone forever.

I can not say enough amazing things about Sophie Clark. I had the pleasure of working with her at my 10 year vow renewal in Jamaica! Let me say… from the very first moment I contacted her, she has been nothing short of amazing. I felt like I have known her my whole life. She is truly an artist and one of the most amazing humans. I am so happy I had her capture this amazing experience. I still am in shock on how amazing my photos came out. I cannot recommend her enough!
"she is truly an artist and one of the most amazing humans."
XO, katie + linsey
every step of the way working with sophie was incredible. she made us feel comfortable at both the engagement session and the wedding. as an lgbtq+ couple and generally anxious people, we didn’t need to worry about anything with sophie, she knew exactly what she was doing, what kind of photos we were looking for, and she made our dreams of the day come true. sophie communicated with us during the months before our wedding, and came to understand us as a couple and the intentions of our wedding. she delivered sneak peeks right after the wedding and final photos right on time! sophie’s photography showcased the story of our love in every moment and we are so thankful we chose her to capture our big day.
"she made our dreams of the day come true."
XO, the summerells
Sophie was an absolute gem, surpassing all expectations. From the moment she arrived, she seamlessly integrated into our wedding, quickly feeling more like family than a hired professional. Sophie’s calming presence was a constant reassurance, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worry. Sophie’s skillful guidance during posed shots and her knack for capturing candid, spontaneous moments were truly exceptional. She effortlessly captured the purest emotions in her images, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of our wedding. Her talent, warmth, and sincerity made her an indispensable part of our day. If you are searching for a photographer who not only feels like family but also delivers breathtaking, emotion-filled images that truly reflect your special day, Sophie is without a doubt the perfect choice.
"a photographer who feels like family."
