Bespoke and Lovingly Done

This review is LONG overdue! Sophia was incredible and her work is beyond compare. Our wedding video is so unique, but still a classic. Sophia hit every aspect perfectly! From the other side of the camera you might wonder what she is doing with her special effects tool bag, but the results are OUTSTANDING! We also booked Sophia to video the day after at the beach with our family so that we could get some shots of special family time together and she wove it into our wedding video effortlessly. She is so sweet and you can tell just wants to make you a personalized piece of art that you can cherish. Everyone we have shown our video too all responds the same way - jaw dropping with shock and awe. Watching your video, we felt like movie starts. Book her now before someone else does, because I can tell you first hand you will not regret it. We want her to shoot a video of our family once we start our own :)

Absolutely Amazing

Sophia is truly an artist. We were originally not planning on having a videographer, but I came across her Instagram and connected with her work so much that we had to book her! Her film style is dreamy and not like anything I had seen before when it comes to wedding videography. Sophia focuses on candid, sweet moments, which made our final video feel so authentic. Even though she has a very distinct style, her wedding films feel very unique which makes them much more special and personalized. On top of her work, she is also a very kind and funny person! It was a joy to work with her. We highly recommend booking with Sophia!

Not a videographer but an artist!

Sophia and her team are the real artists! They have eyes for the beauty of trivial life. I feel lucky to have her for my wedding at Hawaii. I remember when we were cutting cakes, I saw her in the shade of tree using a leaf in front of camera to create halo of light. I told my wife: we are making a film!

Pure Magic on Film

From the moment we reached out, working with Sophia felt easy and natural. She responded quickly to our enquiry and was available, yay! We very intentionally chose Sophia for her videography style. Our photos and video were the vendors we were most excited to work with, and it was important to us that they felt seamless and timeless. We wanted authentic, candid moments, beautiful landscape shots, natural scenery, nothing overly posed. Sophia delivered all of that effortlessly, including stunning drone footage that captured the outdoor beauty of our venue perfectly.

We felt Sophia's warm energy as soon as we jumped on a Zoom. She truly got our vision and shared examples of her work to align on the overall vibe, which made us feel completely confident in our choice. Leading up to the wedding, everything was smooth and stress-free. She showed up to our pre-wedding locations and quietly slipped into the background capturing the most detailed and heartfelt footage.

On the day itself, Sophia captured beautiful moments without us ever really feeling like we were being filmed. The final video blew. us. away. The amount of detail is incredible, from small, intimate connections with family and friends, to the way she wove together the light, movement and emotion. While we shared a couple of songs that we loved, she also hand-selected instrumental pieces that elevated the film even more. It feels like a collection of "moments in time" elegant, intimate, emotional and deeply personal, telling an evocative story of how the day felt, not just what happened. We have watched it sooo many times already and loved reliving it with family and friends.

We're also so grateful for Sophia's respect for our privacy as a couple. As we don't share much on socials, she checked in with us before posting anything online, which was so thoughtful and deeply appreciated.

We adore Sophia. Her creativity and ability to capture genuine, authentic moments truly shine through in her work. We LOVED working with her, have stayed in touch long after our wedding, and can't wait to find another life milestone just to work with her again.

Artist of the Light!

She was amazing! We had never done family photos because we are not the type to enjoy picture taking and she was a perfect fit. Her ability to capture such special moments of our regular family life in our family home was exactly what we were looking for. She came early to get the morning light and the whole morning flowed effortlessly! The pictures are perfect and I know we will treasure having them the rest of our life. ❤️ priceless

Cheers to the lovely Miss Sophia!

We were looking for the perfect photographer to capture our elopement and stumbled upon her Instagram quite happenstance.
Communication was effortless and we immediately aligned on a shared vision. From hiking up a mountain to frolicking through a field – I couldn’t think of a more perfect person to capture the whimsicalness and love we felt that day. I sobbed the day I saw the photos. Perfect and effortless – you’re in great hands.

Whimsical Wedding in Waimea Valley

I got married in March, and it was truly the most magical wedding I could have ever dreamed of. Sophia captured every bit of that magic and more. She is not only the best photographer, she is the best person to work with. Throughout the entire process she was so accommodating, so communicative, and genuinely brilliant at what she does.

Her art style was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. I love the highlight reel she created and how she somehow managed to capture so many beautiful moments, not just of the two of us but of our closest friends and family. Every single photo feels meaningful. It is like she bottled up the emotions and joy from the day so we can relive them forever.

Sophia also photographed our rehearsal dinner, which ended up tying our whole wedding story together in such a special way. Looking through the full gallery feels like watching the weekend unfold all over again, from start to finish.

I cannot recommend her enough. She is a brilliant photographer and such a gifted artist. You can trust her completely to capture your most important moments in the most beautiful and heartfelt way. Truly 10000 out of 10. Book her and you will be so grateful you did.

magical & mystical

Sophia Roud is a phenomenal videographer! She filmed our wedding in Oahu in August 2025 and captured all the in-between moments so well! We received our films about 3 months post-wedding & Sophia also gave us an observer edit and an Instagram teaser, going above and beyond for us! We are deeply appreciative of her responsiveness, her attention to detail, and her kindness from the get-go. It was really important to us to connect with our vendors, and Sophia is easy to chat with, extremely flexible, and able to meet you where you are! If you haven't hired her already, what are you waiting for? :)

All the other reviews are right

Sophia’s is not an operation that merely lines up the guests and takes photos of you with all of them. She puts a lot of care into how people relate to each other and into making that apparent in the finished product. She is someone who will take seriously who you, your family, and your friends are, and will document your wedding in a way that reflects your relationship and your connection with your guests. If you choose Sophia - which you should - you can be confident that you will receive photos taken for you and which have a rich texture that makes them more than just the chronicle of a one-night event. This is certainly how we feel every time we look at the photos. They get better as time passes, too. I cannot recommend her enough. You will not regret it!

I genuinely didn’t plan on booking a videographer for my wedding.. until I saw Sophia’s work. It is so stunning and unique my choice was made immediately. This girl puts so much heart and soul into her art, and it genuinely shows. Working with her through the entire process was wonderful, I didn’t have to worry about anything. She was quick to respond, so kind and always professional. Also, she’s so cool guys! I now have some beautiful content from my wedding and I feel like I made a friend ♥️

Sophia is talented, very talented. You would think someone with that much talent would be full of themselves but this girl is so humble and easy to work with. She is a terrific communicator and a team player, which is so important as vendors trying to make the wedding a success for the client.
