Originally from Germany with French-Romanian parents Shanghai has been my home since 2005 and this city will most likely always hold a very special place in my heart. It is where I found my love for light, color, people and architecture and it is the city where my photography business started.

Finding love in London made me relocate to this very beautiful and at times also very rainy part of the world in 2020 where I settled into Clerkenwell and fell in love with early moring runs over Millenium Bridge followed by coffee at Briki on Exmouth Market.

My work often takes me back to Asia, the Middle-East and Europe and I am always looking for an opportunity to travel worldwide. I have extensive experience shooting a wide variety of different religious and cultural ceremonies and feel at home in foreign environments having grown up in a multi-cultural environment and studying Sinology (anthropology but focused around China)  in Vienna before my move to Asia.  With that in mind I offer very competitive wedding packages to anyone who is considering hosting a wedding overseas or wanting me to attend their wedding in their home country. 

With a lovely network of global wedding industry vendors ( photographers, videographers, florists, caterers, venues, music and hair and make-up) I am happy to assist you in any search and can call upon my trusted colleagues if you would like me to bring in a bigger team.

I am passionate about capturing real, raw, intimate moments and consider myself incredibly fortunate to have couples trust me into their families and lives on their special day and other important occasions.  

Currently planning my own little wedding to be held in May 2025 which will be a lovely small and intimate affair, I am always very happy to accomodate smaller weddings and smaller budgets but have also shot many high-profile weddings with up to 1500 guest in luxury resorts and hotels worldwide. 

I strive to imbue my wedding work with a timeless fashion and documentary feel with a penchant for the cinematic and I am often found obsessing over the little thoughtful details the bride and groom have conceived. Being myself quite camera shy I take utmost care to make everyone feel at ease and will always prioritize your wishes and concerns.

For a small additional fee I offer the option to keep your wedding images private, ensuring they are not shared on my social media or website for promotion purposes. 

If you like my work but would prefer me to shoot video on your wedding day please reach  out as I also offer cinematography services. 

I love the chance to meet-up with my couples to get to know each other a little better, so please feel free to reach out for a coffee date or call. 

Much love,

Sophie
