EVERY Detail Was Captured

Had an amazing experience with Sophia. She captured our engagement photos perfectly and was able to last minute accommodate to take pictures the day before the wedding. On the wedding day her and her team were awesome! She hit all the pictures I wanted and even more. She took her time with the main shots and even added some extra ones. I wish I went with her team to be a videographer with how on top of everything they were. I highly recommend Sophia to anyone that wants picture perfect pictures on their day!!! Thanks again for everything!

The Best Decision Ever

When we started our wedding planning adventure, I knew photography and videography were my number one priority. I wanted someone who I could trust would capture our day perfectly, with unique creativity and precision. Having photographed weddings in the past, I know firsthand how chaotic they can be, and I openly admit that it’s not my forte. It takes a very special person to thrive in that environment, and I’m so grateful to say we found that person. Choosing SOBED Creative was truly the best decision we ever made.

When I submitted our inquiry, Sophia responded within the hour, and we scheduled a call the same day! I was blown away! After that Zoom call, I knew we were a perfect match!

Her incredible responsiveness, organization, and overall approach made the whole experience so smooth and mirrored her incredible creative eye. She captured every detail and emotion to a tee—every shot was pure art. I never once had a worry during our special day! She took control of the situation to ensure everything went smoothly and she accomplished all our wishes, while still allowing us to soak in and enjoy every moment. And as if it couldn’t get better, her delivery time was extremely fast (within 2 weeks), and our gallery is nothing short of phenomenal. I had very high expectations, and she and her team somehow managed to exceed them, preserving the memories of our day in a way I will cherish forever.

While there may be other photographers that can create nice photos, very few can craft an experience where you feel like you’ve made a friend through the process and deliver out of this world images. Sophia has done exactly that and as I’ve joked with her already, she is now stuck with us forever! :)

Exceptional Team with Unmatched Flexibility and Communication!

My husband, family, and I absolutely loved working with Sophia and her team! We had the chance to take engagement photos with her just a few weeks before the wedding, as we were coming from out of town. She was incredibly communicative, a great listener, and always made sure everything was on track.

Though our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors, it rained… far from ideal. But Sophia handled the rainy day plan with ease, and her calmness really helped put me at ease. I couldn’t recommend Sobed Creative Media more!

Here are a couple of pictures from our engagement shoot in Old Ellicott City, Maryland.
