About

I'm Sophie Dunleavy Photography, a wedding and family photographer on the stunning North East coast in Newcastle, Tyne & Wear. I started capturing family moments, but after photographing my first wedding in 2024, I fell in love with the joy and excitement of preserving a couple's special day.

Services Offered

Every wedding is unique, and my goal is to tell your story through timeless, natural images. I work closely with each couple to capture their personalities, love, and in-between moments beautifully. Whether it's a stolen glance, a heartfelt laugh, or those tear-filled vows, I'm there to document every part of your day.

What Sets Sophie Dunleavy Photography Apart?

I'm all about making you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera so you can truly be yourselves. I love getting to know you before the big day, whether through a pre-wedding consultation or just chatting over coffee. My approach is calm and laid-back—I'm there to capture the magic without interrupting it.

A couple I worked with recently was surprised by how naturally the day flowed. They expected the usual posed photos, but when I captured the groom wiping a tear away as his partner walked down the aisle—completely unnoticed by everyone else—that's when they realised the little moments are often the most meaningful. Those are the moments I live for.

If you're looking for someone who will take beautiful photos and ensure you feel relaxed and enjoy the day, I'd love to chat! My packages are flexible, from small weddings to full-day coverage, with all the personal touches in between. Let's create something special together.
