Somerset Wedding Photography

Sophie TC Somerset Wedding Photographer

Vibrant bright and natural Wedding Photography in Somerset and the UK

So you are probably looking for a wedding photographer if you have landed here?! Firstly, congratulations on your engagement and look no further! I am a UK and Somerset Wedding Photographer and have a vibrant bright and natural style to help you relive your day for years to come. I have covered weddings throughout Gloucestershire, Somerset, Bristol, Bath and even further afield to Devon, Cornwall and Wales.

Relaxed and fun wedding photography...

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision and something that needs to feel right. My biggest aim is to make you feel relaxed and laughing your way through your wedding day. The more you laugh and enjoy yourself the more your photos will shine. If you feel comfortable around me then I have done my job!

If you are feeling particularly nervous about having your photo taken then start off your wedding coverage with an engagement shoot. My husband and I were particularly nervous about this before our day – trust me when I say an engagement shoot is worth it! It is the best way to get used to the camera and for you to get to know me before your wedding day. Check out my page on engagement shoots for more information on this.

I have had the privilege of working with some amazing and wonderful couples throughout Somerset and across the UK. It has been heeps of fun and I have come across some amazing venues.

Whether you are getting married at a Somerset manor house, rustic barn or beautiful marquee, I have got you covered! I have never seen the same wedding as no two weddings are the same and every couple is unique and wonderful.

Head on over to my Portfolio page to view some of my latest wedding photography work at venues like Elmhay Park or Huntstile Organic Farm.

"We booked Sophie as our photographer to capture our April wedding at Elmhay Park in Somerset. From the very beginning Sophie was an absolute treat to work with, and our photos have come out looking incredible. We booked a second photographer for the wedding, which was such a good decision as it meant we got photos of more of our guests, and managed to capture both of us getting ready. Sophie dealt well with last minute changes, taking everything in her stride. She really took away any stress as we knew she'd be able to deal with anything that went wrong. On the day, the photos all went really well. It feels bad to say, but aside from when we were doing portraits and group shots, we barely noticed Sophie or her assistant Kieran - she just blended into the group and captured the day as we experienced it, which was absolutely perfect. We received a gorgeous mixture of candid and posed photos, and Sophie really managed to capture the joy and the atmosphere of the day. Since receiving the photos, we haven't been able to stop looking at them. Thank you so much Sophie!!!"

SOMERSET Wedding Photographer pricing

Prices start from £1500

Every wedding day is different and so I have a selection of collections on offer to help find the best fit for your day. If you are looking for something more bespoke, get in touch and I can help.

All wedding collections include a couple of standard features including a pre-wedding consultation or call. These can either be done face to face (possibly at your venue) or via a video chat. This gives us a chance to get to know each other and hear all about your plans for your day and generally get all excited! If needed, I will also visit your venue (if it is a new venue to myself) before your wedding and consult with any wedding planners to ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible.

If you are looking for shorter coverage then check out my page on Micro Weddings and Elopements. Coverage starts at 2 hours, so if you are looking for shorter coverage then check it out!

Somerset Engagement Shoots

If, like me, you are a bit nervous about having your picture taken then an engagement shoot is brilliant before your wedding. I also include engagement shoots in my Rose and Sunflower collections. I promise it will be fun and not scary!! Plus, you have some lovely memories and photos to share before the big day itself!

All engagement shoots can be shot in any sort of location you like but ask about some locations if you are not sure. Check out my Engagement Photography page for me details on these shoots.

After your wedding

All your photos are then sent through to you on an online gallery where you can download, buy products and post your photos as many times as your like! You can also share the gallery link with your family and friends so they can see them all too!

Within 24-48 hours after your wedding I send you through a first look album of some of the photos from your day, so straight away you have some photos to share. There is nothing better than seeing your photos in print and I love seeing them too! That is why I always include some prints within the all day collections as well as our popular Brag Books in our Rose and Sunflower Collections!

If you have any questions around pricing or would like to get a copy of my wedding photography guide then get in touch through my contact page or fill in the form below.

Second Photographers £350

Do you want lots of coverage and different angles during your ceremony? Or are you both wanting prep shots but getting ready in different locations?

Then ask about booking in for a second photographer. A second photographer can maximum the coverage of your day and provide lots of different perspectives and angles.

For example, whilst I am at the front of your ceremony getting photos of the two of you. Your second Photographer can be at the back getting a totally different angle. It also means we can split in the morning to get coverage of you both. You can either have a second photographer all day or half a day.

They are also brilliant at ensuring the day runs well along with myself. It’s great to have help when organising your guests for any group shots you may wish to have. Their complementary images will always add to your wedding photos as they are edited by myself to ensure a seamless collection. I would highly recommend having a second!

Looking for A SOMERSET WEDDING PhotographER and VideographER for your Wedding?

Know you want videography as well? Then check out KLAS Weddings! A bespoke service offering complete photo and film collections, brought to you by myself, Sophie TC Photography and SBKWeddings. We cover weddings everywhere in Somerset, Bath, Bristol, Gloucestershire and further afield like Wales and the Midlands.

Albums

Our Sunflower collection includes the choice of a 10×10 album because there is nothing more special than seeing your photos in an album. There are so many options to choose from with an album and it can be quite confusing and overwhelming trying to do it yourself.

Enter Sophie! All you have to do is choose a few options over a cuppa and a zoom chat if you want – colours, size, material etc. and of course choose your favourite photos. In your online gallery you flag the photos and I will be able to view this too. From there I will create your beautiful album whilst you get to sit back and relax.

Don’t worry I always send through proofs before hitting print, so if you want to make any changes you can.

FAQs

When do I get my photos?

Your online gallery will pop up full to the brim with your wedding photos about 4-6 weeks after your wedding day. If your wedding is in the height of wedding season then this can be up to 12 weeks after. You will be fully informed of timescales throughout. To keep you from waiting too long I always send you through some first look photos within 24-48 hours after your day.

How many photos do I get?

I always aim to deliver you the best images from your day and everyone’s day is different. On average a half day at around 5-6 hours has a minimum of 400 and a full day 700+ images. Other factors included second photographers and specific requests can alter how many photos you get. For example group shot lists etc. If you have lots of decor details this can also increase photo counts.

Can I give you a list of photos?

Without a doubt! Email me over your list or pop it in your online questionnaire and I will bring it along with me on your day. If you aren’t sure what you would like then let me know and I can run my top 5 on your day. I would recommend keeping group shots to a smaller number (10 at most) so you can enjoy your day without having to stand around for photos for ages. I would recommend making sure immediate family including any Grandparents are on your list.

Do you edit the images?

Yes I edit the photos. The process of editing essentially involves making an appropriate artistic judgement on each photo for a cohesive collection. With minor adjustments to the exposure and crop or a conversion to black and white, for example. After this process you’ll receive perfectly-crafted digital images that reflect your beautiful day and you as a couple. However, if you want certain photos photoshopped in any I can offer this service (depending on the request) for an additional fee.

Do you offer bespoke collections?

Yes I do! All weddings are different so I try to offer collections to fit the majority of weddings however if you need something different get in touch! If you are only looking for a few hours coverage I am more than happy to send you a bespoke quote. If you are looking for an elopement or destination wedding then get in touch with more details of your day and what you are looking for, then I can come up with a bespoke collection for you.

Do you travel?

Although I am a Gloucestershire Wedding Photographer I am happy to travel literally anywhere. I love to travel and meet couples all over the country. I have covered weddings in Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester. As well as Wales, Somerset, Bath, Bristol, Wiltshire and Devon. All my collections include travel within the UK.

If your wedding would require an overnight stay additional charges may apply so get in touch soon.

Would you travel abroad?

Of course! Again, although I am based in Gloucestershire we are more than happy to travel anywhere! I have flown out to Majorca for a wedding and it was amazing! Get in touch and we can chat about your wedding as prices will vary depending on location. Head on over to my Destination Weddings page to find out more.

Can I buy an album?

Yes! I offer a selection of different albums. You can pre order one before your wedding day or come back to me after. They really are a very special touch after your wedding. I always show albums at my wedding fayres so pop along to see one! If you want more information on albums, drop me a message and I can send you over my wedding guide.

Do you know any other local suppliers?

Yes! Lots of amazing people! If you need any recommendations for other suppliers for you day I know some truly awesome people out there so drop me a message and I will be happy to help you.

If you head on over to my portfolio page, I have listed some of these amazing suppliers. Definitely, look at the styled shoot section as well for a huge range of suppliers.

What is a second photographer?

A second photographer is just that. A second person on your day taking photos of your lovely day. They are great for getting variety of photos and full coverage of your day. I take their photos at the end of your day and edit them along with my own to give you a beautiful full album that works seamlessly together.

The best bit is I organise everything for you. You don’t need to go hunting for another photographer. I am very lucky to be surrounded by a group of very talented wedding photographers who I work with both as a lead and a second myself. From this brilliant group I bring along one as your second. I know and trust each of them so can give you peace of mind that your second photographer is fantastic.

Do I need a second photographer? Does it cost double?

Ask yourself these questions:

Do you want preparation photos of both of you on the morning? Along with a vast range of angles?
Do you have more than 100 guests?
Do you want as many different photos as possible of all of your guests?

If you answered yes to all of these then I would highly recommend you book a second. This doesn’t mean this isn’t possible with just one photographer however we can’t be in two places at once. Don’t panic second photographers do not cost you double. I charge £350 for a second photographer for all day.
