For The little moments
for the big moments
For the ones who don't want their wedding to feel like a day long photoshoot
The ones who don't mind getting their dress a little dirty
The ones who want to remember all the unexpected laughs
The ones who would rather run around on the beach than get married in a ballroom
The ones who cringe when you someone says
"say cheese"
The ones who are so ready to celebrate with their people
the right priorities
Something I hear frequently from couples planning their wedding day is that they're worried about it feeling like an all day photo shoot and being able to genuinely enjoy the day themselves. I work with you to create a photo timeline that gets you beautiful photos without sacrificing time with your favourite people and actually stick to that timeline.

a watchful eye
You don't often get this many of your favourite people in one place, ready to celebrate together. I truly enjoy people watching and throughout the day you'll find me patiently scanning the crowd for jokes between friends, a falling tear, loving looks, or any other displays of sincere emotion.

photos that last
Wedding photos aren't just for showing Instagram - they're meant to document one of the most important days of your life in a way that is honest and artful. The photos I capture at your wedding will be cherished by you and your family for generations, not just a few hours while people are liking your Instagram post.

"she can capture the essence of the moment in a still photo."
Louis & Sarah
When looking for a wedding photographer, my wife and I looked for someone who can tell a story, as well as someone who is talented at capturing moments.
Sonia's portfolio caught our eye, and believe me when I say that she can capture the essence of the moment in a still photo. During pre-wedding, Sonia's advice, planning and guidance helped immensely, coming close to the level of involvement we received from our hired day-of-coordinator and venue staff...

She is experienced and will help wherever she can in planning shoots during the day, and will offer advice to make sure all the moments you want (and the ones you never think of) are covered. I would highly recommend SVP to anyone looking to have their wedding flow in an organic manner, but still want to have the magic captured. Sonia will take the time to pose you every once in a while for the typical shots, but the majority of the time, she will float around, always alert, ready with the right lens, lighting, position and even props of her own to get some killer shots.
I am still blown away to this day at some of the split-second moments she captured, in full focus, that perfectly explain a wonderful coincidence, a new inside joke, or a fleeting moment that would have faded away with time. Now those moments live forever. And look pretty damn good in a frame.
