Memories to last a lifetime

Sophie’s work at capturing our wedding day went beyond all of our expectations. She has created a film of memories that we will truly treasure and will last a lifetime. Sophie was a pleasure to work with every step of the way and her passion for what she does is evident. Our wedding film is so personal and the creativity and time that has gone into it is just mind blowing. Thank you so much Sophie ❤️

Sophie : Simply the best

Sophie is not only a fabulous videographer, she’s also a wonderful person! Her humour, patience and talent shone from the moment we met her and we LOVE our final video! Not only did Sophie listen to what we were after, she took time to visit our venue, met up with us on several occasions and went over and above what we expected. She started as a wedding supplier but was a friend by the day of the wedding. Thanks to Sophie, we have memories we can watch forever and my husband - who initially wasn’t sure about having a videographer- is now a huge advocate of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sophie for your day either. Thank you Sophie for sticking with us from 2019 booking to a 2022 wedding. We love you! xxx

So happy with our video!

Sophie filmed our wedding and it's something we watch SO often. She captured the best parts of the day and all the emotions, seeing it for the first time was like re-living the entire day again.

Sophie is also a joy to have around on the day and we didn't feel uncomfortable being filmed at all. So very pleased we have a video of our day and couldn't ask for a better one!

Sugar Lens Wedding Films are INCREDIBLE

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sugar Lens Wedding Films for our Sudbury wedding in May 2024, and Sophie was an absolute dream from start to finish! From the moment we booked her, she was incredibly accommodating and responsive, making the entire process feel seamless. Communication with Sophie was a breeze—her replies were always prompt, and it was such a relief to know we were in good hands.

As our wedding day approached, Sophie went the extra mile by visiting our venue, as she hadn't shot there before. This meeting was invaluable and really helped us feel prepared. Two weeks before the big day, we had a detailed call with Sophie to finalise the schedule and discuss what moments were most important to us. This really put us at ease and helped us focus on enjoying the day.

On the wedding day, Sophie was an absolute joy to have around. She fit in perfectly with the bridal party while we were getting ready, creating such a calming presence and helping to settle my nerves. Throughout the rest of the day, she was professional, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease during our couple portrait shots, which made the entire experience so enjoyable.

When we received our 7-minute teaser, we were completely blown away. The footage was breathtaking, and the music choice was spot-on. We found ourselves watching it on repeat, with tears in our eyes every time, as it brought back so many beautiful memories. Our friends and family loved it, and we received so many compliments on the teaser.

A few weeks later, we received a stunning engraved wooden box containing a heart-shaped USB with our full wedding video. We sat down that evening with a bottle of bubbly, and as we watched our entire wedding day unfold, tears streamed down our faces. The way Sophie captured every moment, paired with the perfect music, was nothing short of magical. We know we’ll treasure this video for the rest of our lives.

Thank you, Sophie, for capturing our day so beautifully. To any future couples—trust us, you won’t regret choosing Sugar Lens Wedding Films. Sophie will bring your wedding memories to life in the most perfect way.

Sophie made our day even more perfect!

Highly, highly recommend!!!
We had a very laid back wedding (festival vibe wedding) no first dance, no speeches, quick ceremony. So we wanted more footage of the evening ‘rave’. Sophie was more than happy to work with this and stayed to capture everyone dancing into the night in the giant teepees! She was very behind the scenes but somehow being right in all the action at all times and no one really noticed she was there which made the wedding video even more perfect as nothing was missed but everything was still very candid! She captured every detail perfectly which is amazing to watch back as us and our family DIY’d everything at the wedding and Sophie made sure to capture it all for us!

I am also a very socially anxious person and the thought of posing for videos/pictures makes me feel awful, Sophie didn’t put any pressure on me to get video of me and my Husband and got amazing candid footage of us having some alone time walking the fields after the ceremony with our son. Sophie made everyone feel really comfortable and I wouldn’t recommend her enough!

Looking forward to seeing you at my brothers wedding in October and capturing his day too!

Outstanding

I spent a long time looking for the perfect videographer that suited our style for our wedding. Sophie was exactly what we were looking for. If your wanting a videographer that is all about capturing the natural reactions and blends in with the guests then she is the perfect match for you. Not only did she capture our day perfect, the reel and main video and the effort she has put in to them really shows. Sophie is very down to earth and a pleasure to have around on your wedding day, nothing was too much trouble for her. I would 100% recommend her

Wonderful, easy, professional, friendly

I cannot recommend Sophie enough...I knew I wanted a video more than anything for the memories from our wedding and Sophie has most definitely not disappointed. Consultations before were a breeze with Sophie amending her approach to be specific to myself and my husband. On the day she moved calmly and quietly (barely noticing she was there) whilst also making sure I was happy and confident. The result is a gorgeous video to cherish forever, capturing all the key moments (that could have been missed) so beautifully. Thank you Sophie, I now have the perfect memories from our day that I will no doubt watch over and over again.

Amazing wedding videographer

By far the best decision we made when planning our wedding was hiring Sophie to do our wedding videos. We absolutely love both the full video and the highlight reel and they are such a special way to re-experience our special day. 

From the morning getting ready to the evening party, Sophie was fantastic! She captured moments I didn’t even realise were happening on the day and the videos really captured the energy of the day! 

I cannot wait to rewatch our videos on our anniversaries over the years and relive my favourite day ever. Thank you so much Sophie x

Everything we could of dreamed of and more!

Sophie was amazing throughout the whole process from planning the wedding to unfortunately postponing to then finally shooting our big day! She responded instantly if I had any worries and she constantly updated us throughout everything. Talking to her was like talking to a friend I’d known for years because she was just so lovely. She made myself and my husband feel so relaxed and comfortable on our wedding day! I would highly recommend her! The final product and the highlight reel of our day was truly magical. She really captured our day beautifully. We are so grateful to Sophie for being so wonderful!! Xx
