WEDDING, PORTRAIT & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
I met up with Lisa & Dan at the fabulous Chesterton Windmill for their pre wedding shoot. We decided to meet not long before sunset to make the most of the ‘golden hour’ meaning the light was beautiful. It was so windy but these two totally took it in their stride and had so much fun. They were an absolute joy to photograph and I can’t wait for their wedding in September.
I am delighted to share with you Lisa & Harry’s gorgeous sunny day with you. Lisa & Harry had their ceremony at St Mary’s Church, Elmley Castle before heading on to Spring Hill Barn for games and fizz on the lawn overlooking the lake.
The speeches and meal were held in the amazing barn, all exposed brick, beams and lots of twinkling fairy lights! After the meal we made the most of the gorgeous afternoon sunshine and headed out to explore the grounds for some photos of just the two of them, Lisa and Harry were so brave getting in that boat! From there it was back to the courtyard for pizza before dancing the night away.
I feel so honoured to have been there to capture such a special day, thank you so much Lisa & Harry xxx
Also a big thank you to my second photographer Lisa :)
Here are some lovely words from Lisa:
Sophie was an excellent wedding photographer for us! Having had our photographer cancel, we were recommend to Sophie and she was excellent. Sophie made us feel relaxed on the engagement shoot and on the day, having had 2 photographers and 2 videographers, we didn't feel like we constantly had people in our face and forgot they were there which was lovely. Lisa the second photographer was great, and having a second photographer is something I'd really recommend. Sophie just did an amazing job and can't recommend enough, super relaxed and fun on the day!
What a perfect day for a pre wedding shoot! I met up with the gorgeous Cindy & Jason late last summer. They were travelling to the Uk from Hong Kong and wanted some engagement photos taken in a quintessentially English village. The beautiful Cotswold village of Broadway certainly fitted the bill! We spent a wonderful couple of hours exploring before heading up to Broadway tower to take in the breath taking views and dramatic skies. Oh and how gorgeous does Cindy look in her Needle and thread dress with its stunning beadwork and the perfect skirt for swishing!
Jodi & Floris got married at the stunning Hyde House in in the beautiful Cotswolds, wow, what a dream venue! Jodi & Floris are the sweetest, most genuine couple you could ever wish to meet and their day was filled with so much warmth and love. Oh and can we have more dogs at weddings please?!
Thank you so much for having me, it was such an honour to be a part of your wonderful day x
Here are some kind words from Jodi:
We are sooooo happy with all the pictures you took for us! they are everything we hoped for and more. We have spent a few nights going through them and loading them onto the computer and google etc. You have captured the whole day amazingly! Thank you a million times and a big hug from us both.
I had such a lovely time with Alice & James on our walk along The River Avon in Stratford Upon Avon when we met up for their engagement shoot. They were absolute troopers and braved the snow, the ice cold wind and a flock of pigeons! I think you'll agree it was all worth it though, the snow makes everything look so pretty!
Hampton Manor in Solihull is such a wonderful venue and was the perfect setting for Rebecca & Liam's gorgeous wedding day. Their day was so elegant with the most beautiful floral arrangements and cakes to die for! Rebecca & Liam were so welcoming and didn't stop laughing all day which made them a dream to photograph.
This week my gorgeous boy Jude turned one, how did that happen?! To celebrate we decided to smash some cake. It's safe to say this boy loved getting his hands sticky and his face full of cake. Happy Birthday boyo!
If you have a little one with a birthday coming up, get in touch and let's destroy some cake!
Why a mini session?
Perhaps you like the idea of a family session but are unsure of how you'll feel in front of the camera? You may only have a few frames around the house you would like to fill or have children you know would hate to spend 2 hours having family photos taken? Mini sessions are great because they are only 30 minutes long, half the price of family sessions but you will still end up with some gorgeous family photos and pictures of the kids to treasure.
How much is a mini session?
The mini session costs just £150. For this you get a 30 minute session, 15 edited images to download with print release.
Where will the mini session be?
Mini sessions always take place outdoors I will choose a location suited to the season and will be in touch with the exact location prior to the session. I can promise that it will be somewhere beautiful within a 15 minutes drive from Warwick
What if the weather's bad?
The session will only be cancelled in constant rain. I ask that you keep the same time free the following day (Sunday) incase we need to cancel on the Saturday. If the weather's still bad on the Sunday your shoot will be refunded or rescheduled to a different day.
That all sounds great. How do we book?
To book just email me at hello@sophieevansphotography.co.uk stating which mini session you would like to book along with your preferred time and I will be in touch. I can't wait to hear from you!
Available time slots: 8.30, 9.10, 9.50, 10.30, 11.10

Rowsie & Lee held their beautiful wedding at the stunning Swallows Nest barn; an amazing converted barn set in the idyllic Warwickshire countryside.
Their day was filled with so much colour, laughs and love and was such a pleasure to photograph.
"We have the photos and they are just gorgeous. They are everything we hoped. You captured the day exactly how we remember, I was in tears!!! Everybody has been so complimentary of yourself and the photos. We're so so happy" - Rowsie & Lee
Lucy & Brett's beautiful wedding was set in the picturesque village of Chipping Campden at the stunning Cotswold House Hotel. Lucy & Brett decided to get married on their 5th anniversary in the place where they first met when Lucy was waitressing and Brett worked there as a chef, how romantic! The whole day was so beautifully English and elegant and perfect.
"Thank you so much for photographing our wedding. I spent so long looking for a photographer and I'm so glad we chose you! There are so many beautiful photos from both the wedding and the engagement shoot that we will treasure forever" Lucy & Brett
Also a big thank you to the wonderful Faye for second shooting for me.
Earlier in the summer I met up with with the lovely Jo & James for their engagement shoot. We decided on New Hall Valley which not only is a beautiful place to visit it is also very special to them as it's where James popped the question! I had a great time with these two and their love for each other just shone through, they made my job very easy!
A wonderful couple at the most incredible venue, Daylesford Farm.
