The perfect photographer= Ella!

Ella Sophie helped my partner and I take photos that we never thought were possible, for both our engagement and elopement! We had never taken professional photos together before our engagement photos, but when Ella got us in front of the camera, it was the most natural thing in the world. She had us laughing, just being us, hanging out. It was the most authentic photography experience I have had because she let us just 'be' rather than do something posed. We hired her for both our engagement photos and our elopement photos, and both experiences were fantastic. Our elopement only had 6 other people there, and Ella became a part of the group seamlessly. Couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

Great experience

Ella did all of our wedding photography, including an engagement shoot and the wedding itself. The outcome was fantastic - lots of wonderful photos - but it was the process that really made the difference. She was professional (on time, communicative, honest) but also easy going and very likeable, which made both of us feel super comfortable. She advised us on all aspects of the photography, but was also invaluable in providing advice about many other aspects of our wedding.
Stop looking for a photographer and just give her a call!

I did a boudoir photo shoot with Lea Sophie as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. I had never done anything like this before and was super nervous on the day of the shoot, but she immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. We spoke on the phone a few times before the shoot to plan everything, and she suggested that I make a Pinterest board for inspiration, which we went over together to make sure she understood what I was looking for. I could tell that she put a lot of thought and effort into the shoot so that the finished product would truly be a reflection of who I am. Her photographs are beautiful and sophisticated and unlike any other boudoir photos I've seen. I would recommend her to anyone!
