Photos that last
The right priorities
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.
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.
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.
I'm probably the photographer for you if...
Reviews
"WOW. All we can say is WOW. These are absolutely perfect. There is no other to describe it, you captured our special day so beautifully. Thank you so so much! It replayed the day just how it happened, and there are just so many emotions that are running through us - the way you captured Caleb's childhood home, our beautiful families, the laughter and joy, and even the dirt on Eric's car. There is so much beauty and adventure in these photos - AND OMG THE SMOKE BOMBS!!! We cannot say thank you enough, you are the absolute best!!! We just can't. It's all so perfect."

THANK YOU!
We love our photos sooo much, they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Your creative eye is to die for and your ability to observe the true moments throughout the day is impressive.
We will recommend you to everyone we know for wedding photography in the future, and I think I'll be calling on you for a branding shoot within the next year or so.
Thank you for everything throughout the whole planning process and for giving us the gift of real memories to cherish forever!

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.

It was an absolute pleasure and honour to have Sonia capture our special day. She so intentionally connected with us to understand what we wanted--then did it with excellence.
We wanted a memory box of our day in photos and that is exactly what we received. Every time we look through our photos, we re-experience our day and are overwhelmed by the beauty of our photos.
I must add that our wedding took place during a pandemic and Sonia reassured us by providing a depiction of our day suitable for loved ones that were unable to join us. She has an eye for special moments, and she captures beautiful moments that you never want to forget. Very gifted and humble photographer--but an even more beautiful person for intentionally making people feel special.

what you can expect from me:
Sonia captured our wedding beautifully! I had her picked out before my husband and I were even engaged because of her beautiful artistic eye and documentary style photography. During the planning process and the wedding day itself she was so accessible, organized and friendly. Definitely recommend!
