    Family Photos

    We met Sophie in Dublin, Ireland, to take pictures of our family while on vacation. She chose one of the most beautiful spots in the area and captured some very beautiful and unique moments! She was so great to work with and made all of us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her for any event you want beautifully memorialized!

    An incredible artist!

    Booking Sophie as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Her incredible skill and eye for artistry are one of a kind! Sophie is also so professional, sweet, and easy to work with. My husband and I aren’t used to getting our photos taken and she really helped to put us at ease for both our engagement session and wedding photos. We did engagement sessions with a few different photographers and our gallery from Sophie absolutely stands above and beyond the rest. She has an amazing talent for framing the most artful, romantic shots suffused with luminous, vibrant light - truly like a Renaissance painting. I was looking for a light and airy style that didn't look washed out or overexposed, and was so impressed with the results. I also appreciated that she didn’t direct us to try any “creative” poses but still managed to capture a really natural and joyful version of ourselves. Thank you for these timeless works of art that we’ll treasure forever!

    10 Stars for Sophie

    Sophie made my entire engagement/wedding experience phenomenal. She was extremely accommodating for my out of town schedule and made sure the day of flow perfectly. Our photos look like something out of a magazine and are pure perfection. We have had multiple guests reach out to comment on how "award winning" her photos look. She & her team were so easy to work with and perfectly executed the day. I wish I could use her all over again!

    Photos We'll Cherish for a Lifetime

    I'm so glad we found Sophie shortly after getting engaged in July of 2021. We scheduled an initial call and immediately hit it off. Sophie brings a wealth of experience, professionalism, and talent to the table but also makes you feel like you could be longtime friends. She has a fantastic eye!!

    We had the pleasure of working with her for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with her beforehand if you can.

    We are so happy with both of our galleries, and we'll be cherishing the photos for a lifetime. Thank you, Sophie, for making our wedding photo dreams come true!

    The best memories you’ll have!

    Sophie has taken family photos for us on a couple of occasions. I always love the photos she’s taken as she has captured the essence of my family and especially of my kids in each one of them. Over time these pictures have become some of the most precious things I own, amazing memories to have.

    I would not hesitate to hire Sophie again, not only is she extremely professional, but she has an eye for styling her photos like no other. I wish I had hired her as my wedding photographer.

    Amazing experience from start to finish!

    Finding a photographer was the first thing we looked into after getting engaged. After pouring over different instagrams and portfolios we stumbled upon Sophie and it was love at first sight. Her aesthetic and light, airy photos were exactly what we were looking for. After a quick chat on the phone about her services where we also found out we both had dogs named Olive, we moved forward with booking. We first had our engagement shoot in Central Park in April which was our first time meeting in person and we both felt extremely comfortable. She made us laugh, feel at ease and it really showed in our pictures. They were INCREDIBLE. We could not wait for the big day. Our wedding was this past Saturday and we cannot say enough good things about Sophie. Again, we felt so comfortable and at ease with her and from the few snippets on Instagram that we saw we are so excited to see the finished product. I would recommend Sophie again and again for anyone who wants exquisite photos and service. Again, THANK YOU!

    The best ever!

    Sophie is THE BEST! She is so sweet to work with, she knows what she is doing and her pictures are magazine worthy. One of the unique things about her is that she shoots on actual film and her second shooter uses digital so you really get high quality, unique pictures. Her aesthetic is very bright, natural lighting with pale colors. The best compliment that I can give is that I have a few family members that are also photographers that took similar pictures on the day of the wedding, and Sophie’s handful of sneak peaks just blew any other picture I have seen so far out of the water. I highly recommend her work!!

    A perfect day made better by a great photographer.

    Sophie's adoration of all things love and nuptials shows through in all of her work and is a huge part of the reason we knew she had to shoot our wedding. If anyone could make us look good, highlight the beauty of our venue and also capture our love and affection for one another, we knew it would be her. She has great instincts and an easygoing personality that made the day so pleasant and relaxed. She and her second shooter, Julian, had us smiling and laughing throughout the day and the two of them got creative to capture the attention of our photogenic but willful pup. The sneak peeks we've seen have been gorgeous and we have every confidence that the full photo set will bring back many wonderful memories of our wedding day for years to come.

    We chose Sophie to be our photographer last year, just a month after getting engaged. There is something about her photographs that really drew my attention in. Her photos were light, airy, beautiful and really captured the moment for what it was.

    We recently had our engagement session and Sophie went above and beyond our already high expectations. After finally meeting her, you can really tell how much she loves doing what she does and how invested and excited she is in yours and your fiancés special day. She is professional, easy to talk to and is also a wonderful go-to person when you need wedding advice/opinions.

    If you are looking for a wonderful, natural light photographer Sophie is your girl!

    Sophie was an absolute dream and delight to work with!! Her beautiful photos speak for themselves. Sophie's shots are timeless, romantic, and have a magical quality of transporting you to the moment they were taken. I cannot say enough about how happy we were working with Sophie! We had the pleasure of working with her over the course of our three day wedding and by the end we didn't want to say goodbye. Her easy going personality will make you feel like you are in the company of a best friend and her photos will make you feel all the love you felt on your wedding day all over again.

    Sophie has an amazing talent. We were so happy to have booked her for our wedding this past spring. The pictures were exactly what we wanted! Sophie is so kind and patient and brings a really beautiful energy to the day. She has a great attention to detail. Of all the decisions we made for our wedding, this was one of the best. Thank you Sophie!

    Sophie was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was responsive and extremely helpful in providing both wardrobe guidance and location suggestions for our engagement shoot in New York City. She even arranged to have this incredible bar/restaurant all to ourselves for the photo shoot, something that venue had never allowed a photographer to do before - we felt very special! Traveling from Texas for the session, there was a lot of detailed planning and communication that went into play beforehand. I was very impressed and appreciative of how easy Sophie made it and how smoothly it all went. Not to mention, the photos turned out AMAZING!!! I could not be happier with the pictures, as well as, the overall experience. Even my fiancé, who does not like getting his picture taken at all, said how much fun he had - something I definitely did not expect to hear. She is very talented and truly loves what she does, making it an enjoyable and exciting experience for everyone!

    I can't put into words what you did for us. You went above and beyond your duties and gave me the gift of enjoying my wedding through your images. You are worth your weight in gold Sophie! We love you! Thank you.

    We booked Sophie for our New York City elopement and I couldn't be happier with our photos! They are so full of light and colour and just beautiful. Up until the day of, she was so helpful with recommending the most amazing places that felt like New York City without going near really touristy places like Times Square. We took photos at Bethesda Terrace, a hill with a view of some hi-rise buildings in the background, and she also took us to this arbour area in Central Park with wisteria that matched our wedding colours. We received our photographs in just a few weeks and Sophie even delivered them online so our friends and family abroad can see how great our special day was, which I loved. I have recommended her to a bunch of my friends and can't wait to book her again when we're back in NYC!

    I would just like to start off by saying that Sophie is not only an immensely talented photographer, but one of the BEST people I've had the pleasure of meeting! You'll notice immediately that she's professional, upbeat, sweet, and crazy thoughtful! She photographed our engagement photos, as well as our wedding day, we got so many compliments from everyone ( and they keep rolling in)! Even now, my husband and I will look at our photos and it brings a smile to our faces! She captures so much raw emotion, and the way she captures light looks heavenly! She is passionate about what she does, and it shows through everything she touches. Also, getting photographed is super awkward! Let's all admit that, Sophie has such a friendly, calming presence, I have no doubt she can make anyone comfortable in front of the camera. Fun story, the day of our engagement shoot there was a blizzard that stranded her in a whole other state, she rushed in the next day and did the photo shoot in the snow with us ( IT WAS GORGEOUS)! Needless to say, she is the most accommodating person ever! There are so many reasons I would recommend Sophie for not just weddings, but any occasion you would need a photographer! She's surely going places, so book her now! It'll be the best decision you can make for your wedding!

    P.S. Style me Pretty loves her work too! That says a lot!

    Sophie was the greatest photographer we could have chosen! She did our engagement and wedding photos. She was very flexible on any times for our meetings. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. When I freaked out that it was going to rain during our outdoor wedding, we responded with a list of beautiful photos we could take in the rain. When we needed inspiration for groomsman photos - she emailed us with a TON of amazing options. She is booked very ahead of time, but whenever we needed her to meet she gave us a list of available times she had. She was amazing during the wedding day and took incredible photos even within the small time frame we had.
    She sent us our edited photos in record time and even posted cute sneak peaks on her blog.
    We are already planning for her to do our next milestone photoshoot based on her amazing and ADORABLE newborn / family photos that she posts.
    We love Sophie, she has such a cute puppy, and we would use her again in a heartbeat!

    Sophie did a wonderful job capturing our special day so perfectly. She was great to work with, very flexible incorporating our ideas into the session. The photos came out beautiful! I love them more and more every time I look at them. We would highly recommend Sophie Kawalek Photography and definitely use her again in the future.

    I couldn't review or recommend Sophie high enough. Her photography portfolio speaks for itself and should show she's worth every single penny, which she is. She made sure she got to know my husband and I before the wedding day and made us feel like friends rather than customers. She made sure to check on us plenty of times before the wedding and wanted to be as involved in planning as possible, which made us feel important and a priority. During the day of the wedding, she was with us more than anyone else the entire day and had us laughing and comfortable through all of the pictures. She did anything I asked of her including getting me a glass of water and rubbing some dirt off of my dress. Instead of leaving right when her scheduled hours were over, she stayed 15 minutes later just to make sure we got everything we wanted taken without complaining. She emailed me the day after with some previews which was so amazing to see professional pictures the very next day after our wedding. We got our full gallery back quicker than her estimate in a stunning box with a beautiful flash drive and all of the images were consistent and fully edited. I've heard horror stories from friends after hiring someone cheap or a relative to photograph their wedding, and the photography was easily the best investment from our entire wedding. Hire her, she's worth it!

    Sophie is the absolute sweetest! I found her on instagram and fell in love with her style. Once I emailed her I knew she had to photograph our wedding. Her passion for what she does is clear. Can't wait for her to photograph our big day!

    Sophie's work is absolutely beautiful--the quality and consistency of our photos was definitely wonderful and met our expectations.

    However, we had a lot of trouble getting in touch with Sophie at times--to the point where we didn't know if we were having our engagement photos until a matter of hours beforehand. We also missed a lot of our getting ready photos & "must-have" shots that we asked for during our ceremony/reception because she was late arriving & seemed a little bit "all over the place"

    Her assistant was definitely more professional and accommodating from our experience. But we had expected more from Sophie from a service and professionalism perspective. We got married in October and still have yet to hear from her regarding the included photo album that comes with the payment package.

    To reiterate--the quality of her work was wonderful. But being worried for 1 hour (or more) about where your photographer is on the morning of your wedding or wondering if your engagement photos are actually happening or not (until moments before) are both instances that I know most brides and grooms will not want to deal with (you have enough going on!!)
