JENNIFER + AUSTIN
Thank you Sophia for all the time and effort you had put into the videos. We truly saw that you poured your heart into this! It was amazing to re-watch the highlights and relive our wedding day. You really captured what we were looking for with The Observer. We’re so excited to share this with our family and friends. Thank you again!!

When I came across your work, I immediately fell in love with your style. The way you capture light, emotion, and people is absolutely beautiful, and I would truly love to have you there to document such a special day for us.
VIVIAN
First off LOVE the website. I feel like you’re exactly what I’ve been looking for in terms of photography and videography art. I am someone who’s quite passionate and observant so when I look at a film I want to look, hear, feel and even remember the smell of the actual environment. So what I would love to see and capture at my wedding is pretty much similar to the vision you put out into your work. I want something dreamy and emotional that the video looks like it’s capturing sweet hidden moments or small details that go unnoticed.
LUCIA
Sophia’s approach beautifully reflects the heart of what I value most in storytelling photography - honest moments, meaningful connection, and the feeling of being fully present in your day as it naturally unfolds. She has such a calm and thoughtful presence, and I know you’ll feel incredibly comfortable in front of her camera!
Rather than overly posed moments, her focus is on the in-between moments. The quiet glances, movement, emotion, laughter, and all of the little moments that make your story uniquely yours!

I just did a quick scroll omg every picture looked SO GOOOOOOOOOD! These pictures were shot with so much love and tenderness. Thank you so much for capturing us!!! Can’t wait to download them and see the rest!! Can’t wait to show them to our family too!!
CASSIDY
SOPHIA!! I woke up by chance for just a second, saw your notification, and now we’re wide awake in the middle of the night crying over how beautiful everything is! These are AMAZING! You and Michael were genuinely an absolute joy to spend the day with. We can’t thank you enough for your kindness and attention to detail. No need for the voice overs - we agree that it’s perfect! I’m a music person and your song choice was excellent!! We love that the video made us feel everything all over again! Your work is truly art - and that can’t be said for every person in this industry. You clearly have a cinematic eye and your genuine spirit allows your subjects to be comfortable and natural in the face of the camera. I feel so blessed to have found you out of everyone on the internet!!
MAR
SOPHIA - YOU FILL THIS WORLD WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND MAGIC AND I HOPE, WISH AND PRAY ALL OF THE MOST TECHNICOLOR OF YOUR DREAMS BE HEWN INTO REALITY FOR THE DEEPEST DESIRES OF YOUR LOVELY HEART TO REACH THE SURFACE AND TAKE A GASPING BREATH. LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME WITNESS YOUR INEXORABLE SPIRIT OF CREATION AND JOY.
MIHANA
OMG SOPHIA!! We just watched the highlights film and are sobbing. It’s soooo good and captures the day perfectly, I don’t have words. So excited to dig into the rest. Thank you so much for such amazing work and for giving us something we’ll be able to watch forever to remind us of all the amazing memories from that day (going to share it with our friends and fam now.. moms are gonna freak out). You’re truly the best and we’re so glad we were able to work with you. We’ll definitely hit you up when we’re back in Hawaii for any future projects.
KEISHA
I actually really enjoyed the still frames! They were absolutely beautiful. Thinking about reordering our thank you cards to use those instead, because they actually were my favorite shots from our day! I love both videos and how you captured everything! Absolutely love the film frames, so I did reorder my thank you cards with your frames because I loved them SO SO much!! You’re the best and we are so so so so so blessed to have had you. You brought an aspect of our wedding to life that we can re visit. Thank you for your beautiful art!
RITCHEL + JOSHUA
We are so happy with the video!! Our hearts are so full seeing all of our family and friends have the best time. All of their reactions, emotions and smiles made everything worth it. We felt so loved and supported and it was all captured so beautifully! We had no idea where you were and how you got those amazing shots? Thank you SO much for all the effort, time and care you put into this - it truly shows!! We love the pace, the colors, and how dreamy everything looks. It’s truly a work of cinema art, a novelty that we will cherish forever!
SAMANTHA
Thank you so so much!! It was well worth the wait and everything we envisioned. Everything is absolutely perfect, you are so talented.
LYRIQ + ALEX
Sophia, you have completely outdone yourself. This was worth the wait of a lifetime. Alex and I are still attempting to locate our jaws somewhere on the living room floor after watching the videos. I immensely appreciate the fact that you even made a separate clip incorporating my song suggestion. Your work means the world to us, and we are so blessed we were able to find you for our big day. Since I was a young girl, I always knew I wanted a wedding video. This was truly a dream come true, and better than I even imagined. Your work speaks for your passion so well.
MARIA
What a perfect way to start the New Year. We finally sat down and watched our wedding video, and it was truly a dream. Most importantly, it was incredibly touching (Brandon even shed a little tear). You so beautifully captured the emotions, sights and sounds of the day, and we especially loved the creative elements you incorporated into the shots. Every moment felt intentional and full of heart.
JUHEE
The Observer made my heart so happy!!
SABRINA
Sophia!!! It’s PERFECT!!! I am at work getting teary-eyed lol. It was awesome getting to work with you. I am so grateful that we have these videos to cherish forever. Thank you SO much for everything!
LAINE
Whoop Whoop! So excited. We LOVE what you have done. We have looked past the LOOK BOOK and dreamy film and well I blubbered and grinned from ear to ear. It was like we were right back there. Honestly stunning.
DANA
This incredible video of wedding highlights is the best gift I can imagine. David’s parents are with us and we all sat down to watch the video for the first time together. We were all in tears!! It’s such a work of art. You truly captured the beauty and love of our wedding. Your work is unbelievable! Thank you, thank you - I can’t thank you enough! I will cherish this reel for the rest of my life!
JANE
Thank you from the bottom of our soul for capturing the essence of our wedding and our love. It was truly a gift for us to sit down yesterday on our first Valentines Day as a married couple to watch this video together.. such a gift. I have personally watched and rewatched the video 10 times now and every time it brings me back to our special day and all the magic leading up to the day and even still now. We absolutely love what you created and told each other that we are sooo thankful we chose you to be our videographer and it was worth every penny.
JOYCE
SOPHIA STOP. THIS IS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!! I don’t even have all the words to describe how I feel right now!! Thank you for making the dreamiest, sparkliest, most ethereal visual of our most special day. Literally have no words. My mom was crying while watching. Ronnie, my parents, and I were all reliving it through this brilliant piece you’ve created for us. I knew it was going to be good, but I am so so so so sooooooooooooo blown away.
The one thing I had the most regret about our wedding day was not being able to see and interact with each individual person as much as I wanted to (even though I know it’s impossible since it’s my own wedding hahaha). But the day truly flew by so quickly. I wanted to ask each and every person how they were doing and whether they were enjoying themselves; ask them how they’ve been; catch up with them and just take in a moment of their spirits. Your video captured all our guests in such a special way, and I a m in awe of how brilliantly you put it together, transitions and all. It makes me feel so warm inside to see each person’s expressions and reactions in moments that I never would have been able to see without you capturing them.
I am so grateful to have found you, and to have experienced your talent in this lifetime. I hope you know that beyond the art and aesthetics, you truly capture the soul and essence of people’s most sacred moments in such an impactful way. I love the video, but your eyes and heart are something truly special. Pleeeaseee don’t ever stop doing what you do! And please keep in touch!
GRETCHEN
This is more than we could have hoped for - it’s perfect. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it already!
ROXANE
OH MY GOSH!!! It is absolutely stunning! We are so in love with how it turned out!! You are magical!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
SHAWN
Sophia, AMAZING CAPTURE AND EDIT!!!!!! We are in love with it! It captured the day so well and we love the music. We could not be more satisfied with the outcome, the family absolutely loved it and were very impressed calling us movie stars lol. We would love to spread the word on your art.
PURVI
We really can’t put into words how amazing this film is! We absolutely love it and cannot stop watching this to relive the day over and over again! These songs do really go so well with what you’ve created for us. We went with your style of film to capture our day, we really just wanted something that we could enjoy at the expense of something more traditional. We really weren’t sure what our parents would think about it as they’re quite blunt and opinionated but watching their reaction to these films left us completely overjoyed! They LOVED it!
SÖREN
Oh Sophia!! Thank you very very much for creating the most beautiful and gorgeous wedding video there is in this world and for sure in universe!! We were in tears and absolutely speechless.. We will watch the video at least a million times until the end of our lives and will be happy every single time to relive those wonderful minutes. It’s a masterpiece and incredibly valuable for us, we can’t describe in words how happy we are and how our expectations were exceeded! It’s everything we dreamed it would be, from the song to the editing, the transitions and atmosphere, the feelings - it’s absolute perfection.
ALEXA
You are sitting at… TABLE 1! And congratulations on getting married! Thank you both for being here! It feels so special to get married at the same venue as my dad 10 years ago - and with the same photographer! Thank you for helping to honor this past for us! I’m often very camera-shy, but you might be the one person whose point of view not only sintered me, it gives me the courage to SERVE it. You are such a savant with the video medium, and your constant desire to create is one of the most beautiful things to see!
TRINITY
YOUR art is so beautiful!! You are incredible at creating atmosphere.
