I am a huge fan of all things natural, capturing the day as it unfolds, the laughter the tears and everything in between. I love to tell a story and what better story to tell than a love story!
I have 5 years experience capturing special memories for wonderful couples and families. I studied photography at university and once I graduated I dived straight into the wonderful world of weddings and haven't looked back since.

I'm going to be there all day at your wedding, so making sure i'm the right photographer for you is a must.
When I'm not behind the camera I'm mostly running around being a mum to my 2 year old Lenny. Nursery runs, playgroup and all the other chaos that comes with being a mum fill my days off and I love it. He is my number one and why I work so hard.
As well as running around after my little one and capturing people's special moments, I also work part time in a fashion photography studio. Although photography is my job, more importantly it is my passion!
I make sure I only take on a small amounts of work at a time to ensure my customers get one hundred percent of me. I give everything my all, I love getting stuck in and always want to do more. I love to laugh and enjoy life... I think this is why I love a wedding!
If I sound right for you get in touch and lets chat about your special day!
Prints or photo books (if not included in the package) can be available to purchase, if this is something you are interested in contact me for more information or a bespoke quote.
Terms and Conditions
Please read through my terms and conditions before enquiring. When enquiring you are agreeing to Sophie Hayward Photography's terms and conditions, which can be found here.
How far do you travel?
I can cover the whole of the UK, however if the venue if over 50 miles away a travel and potential accommodation charge may be added to the packages.
How many photos will I get / What do I receive?
This is something that is not possible to predict, but this could range from 250 - 600 depending on how much is going on on the day and how many hours I am there for. The more that is happening on your day the more images you will receive as there is simply more to capture.
All my packages come with an online viewing gallery on the Client Galleries page on my website. On here you can download images, purchase prints and share using a password with your friends and family. All packages also come with a USB and personalised presentation box.
The silver package comes with all of the above and a photo book containing 40 of your chosen images.
The gold package has an engagement shoot included and a photo book containing 60 of your chosen images.
Turn around on galleries
I try my best to deliver wedding galleries as soon as I possibly can. I tell my clients to allow 4 -6 weeks for your gallery to be complete but in busy periods this can be up to 8 weeks. I have a very busy schedule running around after a 1 year old, nursery runs, working part time in a fashion photography studio as well as my own studio work, so things can get pretty busy. I will always communicate with my clients if there is a longer waiting time or circumstance change. I always like to share a sneak peek wit my clients with in the first week after the big day.
I use instagram stories a-lot to update people on how I am getting on with my work load and when things may be on there way to being done. So you can always keep up to date there.
Usage
I retain the copyright on my images however you have full usage. You are able to print, share and use them how you wish. I am able to allow downloads to the online galleries for yourselves, family and friends. I do ask if you are sending images to any other supplier or business and they are using the images that they credit me using either my website and or social media handle.
My style and editing
I like to tell a story, my style is very natural. I wait to capture a moment happen, rather than stage everything. 80% of a wedding gallery will be natural, unposed images with a small section for slightly directed couple and group shots. I have an editing style and this style is carried throughout all of my work, please do consider this and take time to decide if my style is for you before booking.
Group shots and photography schedule
On my booking form you are able to provide me with a list of group shots you would like.
I am then able to create a photography schedule for the day which I will share with you in the weeks leading up to the wedding date, to make sure nothing is missed.
Communications
All enquires are to be done via email or through my enquires page. All updates, forms and communications about your wedding will be done through email. I am active on social media and sometimes get the chance to reply to messages on there but these can get missed so its always best to send me an email.
After an enquiry is made and if I am available, I offer a Zoom consultation (or face to face if i can accommodate) for you to get the chance to get to know me and my style and ask any questions you may have. After this I can hold the date for 7 days. To secure a date a 25% deposit is to be paid.
I will then contact you in the weeks leading up to your wedding date to go over finer details and for you to check over the photography schedule i will have put together.
However any questions in the mean time will be answered as soon as I can via email.
Payments and Deposits
Social Media
I may use some of the images of your special day on social media. If there is anyone in your wedding party who can not have their photo posted on social media. I will need to know this before your wedding day.
COVID 19 / Cancelling
I am double vaccinated and take lateral flow tests leading up to weddings. If I test positive in the 7 days before to your wedding day then I will have to send an associate shooter to cover your day. If I cannot find an associate shooter you will receive a refund of all money paid so far.
All other cancelation details can be found in my terms and conditions.
