💍 Engaged on Valentine’s Day? Let’s Turn Your Love Story into Timeless Art!
First of all — congratulations, lovebirds! 💕
If you got engaged this Valentine’s Day, the excitement must still feel brand new. The butterflies, the “yes!”, and now… the whirlwind of wedding planning begins! Whether you’re dreaming of a seaside celebration in Portsmouth or a countryside escape just beyond, I’m here to help you capture every beautiful detail, smile, and tear in the most natural, heartfelt way possible.
Who I Am
Hi, I’m Sophia — the face (and heart!) behind Weddings by Sophia B.
I’m a Portsmouth-based wedding photographer who’s lived here my whole life and who never fails to get swept up in the magic of a wedding day — even after countless love stories captured. I believe wedding photography isn’t just about pictures; it’s about emotion, story, and connection.
My style? Warm, genuine, and unobtrusive. Think of me as your calm, camera-wielding friend — the one who spots and captures those “fly-on-the-wall” moments: cheeky grins from the page boys, heartfelt best man speeches, and the little glances only the two of you share.
The Magic of Your Wedding Day
Your wedding day is one of life’s biggest adventures. Amid the whirlwind of laughter, tears, and happy chaos, your wedding photos will be the one thing that lasts forever. Flowers wilt, the cake gets eaten — but your images? They're your timeless reminders of love, laughter, and pure joy.
That’s why I take the time to really get to know my couples before their big day. Every package includes a free, no-obligation pre-wedding consultation (and yes — it’s over a cuppa, not a Zoom call!). This face-to-face connection means I can truly understand your story, your personalities, and your vision.
My Packages
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a full-day fairytale, I’ve created flexible packages to suit every couple:
Mini Moments: Perfect for weekday celebrations, shorter weddings, or elopements. Coverage starts from £525 for 4 hours — ideal for capturing the key highlights without missing a beat.
Full-Day Coverage: For those who want it all — every detail from bridal prep to your first dance (and maybe a bit of boogie after!). Full-day packages start from £1050, including a minimum of 400 edited photos, a bespoke USB with a goodie bag of surprises, and full print rights.
Complimentary Extras:
A pre-wedding consultation
Sneak peek of edited images within 24 hours
USB with all high-resolution images
A beautiful online gallery to share with friends and family
And even a little extra surprise just for you!
Why Couples Love Working With Me
Don’t just take my word for it — here’s what some of my wonderful couples have said:
“Sophia is an amazing photographer who gave great attention to every detail of our wedding. She made us feel both at ease with the camera and we cannot thank her enough for our truly beautiful wedding photos.”
— Mr & Mrs Richardson
“Sophia is absolutely FAB. She photographed my daughter’s wedding in December and was completely professional, discreet and supportive throughout the whole day. We can thoroughly recommend her.”
— Mrs Parsons, Mother of the Bride
Every review fills me with joy — because each one reflects a real connection and a story told beautifully through my lens.
Planning Your Wedding
If your proposal happened this Valentine’s, it’s never too early to start thinking about photography. 2026 and 2027 dates are already filling up fast, especially for Saturdays and summer weekends!
So, whether your dream day is by the seaside, under fairy lights, or in a quiet garden surrounded by friends and family, I’d love to help you preserve it forever in photographs full of heart and personality.
