Sofia is the best photographer around - her pictures are beyond amazing and she is the nicest person. We had booked another photographer but, after seeing Sofia's photos, decided to fly her from Canada to Scotland for our wedding day - she is that good! Sofia made us feel so calm and relaxed on the day and got some unbelievable photos! She goes above and beyond in order to get the perfect shot and I would urge anyone who is in need of a photographer to use Sofia - you won't regret it!!

I’ve known Sofia for 7 years since she did my engagement photoshoot. She knows how much I wanted night photos and every photoshoot she’s always been able to deliver. The best thing about her though is her personality and how relaxed you are with her and feels like you’ve known her forever in just a couple of hours. I’ve done engagement, wedding and a night photoshoot and every time she’s able to wow me with what she captures! Definitely book with Sofia! She won’t disappoint!

We randomly came across Sofia Katherine Photography through a mutual friend that had been to a wedding photographed by Sofia. I had the opportunity to view some of the photos and immediately fell in love with her work.
I emailed her and she promptly got back to me. We arranged to meet and discuss what we were looking for. Soon after we were doing engagement photos. She took us to a Corn Maze - how cool is that? After seeing those photos we could hardly wait until our wedding in Los Cabos to see what Sofia would do next! Sofia became more than our photographer, she became our friend. We enjoyed having her be a part of our wedding week and she fit in with all I our friends and family. She went above and beyond our expectations an even scouted out a beautiful location for a "trash the dress" shoot a couple days after the wedding. We knew the photos would be amazing, but they were even better than we had imagined. Almost a year after the wedding we contacted Sofia to see if she would be able to do some pregnancy photos while we were on a quick trip to Calgary. Again - they were fantastic. Sofia is always finding new and fun locations to do her next shoot. I am so happy to have met her and will always call her my friend! So... If you are looking for someone who is talented, works wonders with lighting and goes out of her way to make any day the best and most memorable day, then please get a hold of Sofia!

Sofia was such a wonderful photographer to work with. She was professional and thorough in determining what we wanted in terms of style of photos for our wedding. She was extremely easy to communicate with and to get in touch with. She made us feel really comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day with her tips, jokes and direction. It was very obvious that her goal that day was to capture those sweet moments we will treasure for many years to come. Thank you Sofia for making our day so special.

My fiancé (now husband) and I had our wedding planned in NB since that is where we are both from. We were planning to hire a photographer in NB for our wedding day, but we wanted to find someone to do our engagement pictures for us in Calgary. After reading a few positive reviews on Sofia, I decided to send her an e-mail to inquire about her engagement photoshoots... the rest was history. My husband and I loved our engagement pictures so much we decided to fly Sofia out to the maritimes to capture our special day. We are so happy that she came to our wedding, we still get so many compliments on our pictures. She was easy to work with.... she was always so fast to answer any questions at any time, whether by e-mail, phone or text message. She had lots of creative ideas but was also open to our ideas and encouraged us to tell her exactly what we had in mind for our day. She did lots of research on the town I am from to make sure we took advantage of all the best picture locations. We even did a "trash the dress/day after" photoshoot and not only was it fun, the pictures turned out stunning. She was out going and all of our friends and family thought she was great. In fact, my mom has her on Facebook (and I'm pretty sure she likes on all of her pictures and comments on everything!) haha! Now I am about to have a baby, and am hesitant to have pictures taken in fear that I won't like any of them (feeling bigger than life), but I am planning to ask Sofia if she would consider it because I know if anyone can make me look/feel good it would be her!

Out of this World Photographer!
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture the magic of our wedding day! There are so many amazing things to be said about Sofia.
1. Sofia is extremely personable and is super easy to get along with. From our first online meeting we instantly connected, the conversation was effortless. Sofia is extremely knowledgeable and has been a professional photographer for years, making it easy to answer all our questions! 2. We felt comfortable around Sofia. We never felt awkward in front of the camera with Sofia, she made the whole process super comforting. She had a great mix between capturing candid moments and posing us for some out of this world photos (literally)! She truly captured every emotion felt during our wedding day. 3. Sofia is super easy to get a hold of. We never had to wait longer than a day to get a response from Sofia, whether it was email, text, or Instagram! Her ability to communicate via multiple communication channels made connecting effortless. Closer to the wedding she also sent us a link for a quick online call, her booking system was easy to use, and we could easily pick a time that worked best for Sofia and us! 4. Throughout the wedding planning process, Sofia offered an additional layer a support by suggesting other great vendors and answering any wedding related questions we might have, even if it wasn’t related to photography! You can tell that she loves weddings! Before our wedding, Sofia sent us a checklist that helped us with planning the finer details of the wedding day! 5. Sofia has crazy talent! Our ceremony location was inside the Zeidler Dome at the Telus World of Science Edmonton. We had the lights turned down, and got married under the stars (in the middle of the day). These DARK settings are where Sofia truly shines, her work was incredible, and we have gotten so many compliments on these photos. Adding to her versatility, Sofia also captured moments outside in the bright light as well. Like we said, she has crazy talent! We have also received countless compliments on our wedding photos from family and friends! 6. Sofia is a natural artist! We weren’t sure where to take our wedding photos (family, group shots, individuals). Sofia and her team scoped out some amazing locations (that we never even heard of) for our portfolio. As soon as the ceremony was done, Sofia and her team helped assemble our big family to a unique and original photo location, and we were done family photos in no time (still on schedule). Once we got into the limo, Sofia and her team directed the limo driver to all these great locations – allowing us to sit back and enjoy the company on the limo! This was an above & beyond touch. We honestly can’t thank Sofia enough for everything she did to make our wedding day special. If you are looking for a professional photographer who cares about you and capturing all the great moments your wedding day has to offer, then Sofia is your gal! Thank you Sof!!!

Sofia is amazing! She is known for her night work. We chose her to shoot our wedding, over so many other photographers, based on her skill and her personality. What good is a great photographer if they are not good at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera right? She makes you feel relaxed and captures great candid shots. She also did our engagement shoot where she took us to multiple locations in a short time during golden hour, which means the lighting is really gorgeous. Just tell her what you’re looking for and let her work her magic. Our photos are gorgeous. We receive so many compliments on those shots. Highly recommend!

It's difficult to put into words just how amazing Sofia truly is. My husband and I were looking for an epic photographer for our wedding in Banff, and we literally Googled "epic Banff wedding photography". Clicking through the images, we found Sofia, and scheduled an initial FaceTime to see what she was all about.
We immediately knew that Sofia was our photographer. Not only is her work incredible and totally our style, but she's just an awesome person. We loved chatting with her on that first phone call.
Sofia met us for lunch and drinks when we were in Calgary a few months later, and that solidified things even more. Then, during our Engagement photo shoot, she helped us learn how to pose and what to do, so that we wouldn't look like idiots for our wedding photos.
The engagement session was a BLAST! We got amazing photos and had a ton of fun.
Then the wedding. Oh the wedding. Sofia. You are amazing. Sofia and Adam went above and beyond to get us the most epic photos we could have imagined. We are in love with our photos! I cannot thank Sofia and Adam enough for all that they did to capture our special day.
If you are looking for a fun photographer and are drawn to this style, you found your match!

Sofia was an absolute pleasure to work with! She travelled to our favorite waterfall for our engagement session and stood in the freezing cold water to get the best photos. Then she travelled with us to Mexico for our destination wedding. Sofia has such a great personality and makes taking photos easy and fun!

We couldn't be happier with the incredible night shots captured by Sofia Katherine at our wedding! From the glowing fairy lights to the romantic sun setting, every photo was breathtaking and full of emotion. Shooting at night can be very tricky but Sofia makes it look effortless.
If you're looking for a photographer who can master night photography and create magical timeless memories, Sofia Katherine is highly recommended!

Oh my gosh, Sofia......where do I even start. Holyyyy, this lady can take a moment in time and make it absolute ART. Sofia was one of the first vendors we hired at the start of our wedding planning process (back in 2020). We were lucky enough to work with her three times in the lead-up to our wedding and I have to say she puts the absolute best into ALL of her work. The way that Sofia captures a memory in a photograph is absolutely magical. When I walk past the photos currently in our home from our engagement session, or our fall mini session, or my EPIC Nicturna birthday party...I am brought right back to those happy memories and that is the pure talent that Sofia possesses in her work.
When we first booked Sof for our wedding we agreed it was one of the best decisions we made for vendors (no exaggeration). I can not thank Sofia and her team enough for how perfectly and delicately they captured our wedding day. I am not big on portrait sessions for weddings and I think it shows in photos which is why I am SO glad we picked Sofia. I was nervous at the prospect of someone making me stand and pose for portraits for hours on the day of my wedding....if you are like me and you want to avoid that, SOF IS YOUR GAL. Sofia photographed our day in a way that if you did not hear that wonderful laugh of hers you might not even know she was there, all while still perfectly capturing the most important moments candidly. Sofia went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure she caught the most incredibly candid shots of us with our favourite people in the moment. We knew when we hired Sof that we would get along well (she is a Big Brother superfan too) but we had no idea what an incredible source of support she would be throughout the wedding planning process. When you hire Sofia you are not just hiring the BEST wedding photographer...she is also literally your wedding bestie right here. If you need recommendations, feedback on an idea, or if you need to vent...she is absolutely amazing. The best choice we made for our wedding was to put 100% of our trust into Sofia and her work...you will not regret it if you hire her. I can not wait to get my mom and grandma out for a Nicturna session and I look forward to doing some anniversary shoots in the future.
HIGHLY recommend hiring Sofia Katherine Photography for your wedding and really just for ALL your future photography sessions, you will not be disappointed.

When my husband and I got engaged, one of my first thoughts was “We need to book Sofia right away!”. I have been following her work for many years and booking her was an easy decision for us. Not only do I adore her work, but also Sofia as a person. She is very professional, but at the same time, she is hilarious, laid back and makes you feel relaxed and at ease. Sofia did our engagement shoot (Red Rock Canyon), our wedding (Playa del Carmen) and our trash the dress/day after shoot (Playa Mujeres). Sofia really went above and beyond to ensure that we were 100% happy with our photos and we absolutely were!!!! I cannot recommend her enough.

Sofia is an absolute genius when it comes to night photography! She doesn’t just capture moments—she creates magic. Her ability to blend light, landscape, and emotion is unparalleled.
The photo she took of us under a sky full of stars is beyond breathtaking. She masterfully balanced the ethereal glow of the Milky Way with our presence, making it feel like a dream. Her attention to detail, technical expertise, and artistic vision are second to none.
Beyond her incredible talent, Sofia is a joy to work with—professional, patient, and passionate about her craft. She made the entire experience effortless and unforgettable. She had us laughing despite freezing in November. It was worth being cold. The photos from our night shoot are ones we will cherish forever.
If you're looking for a photographer who can turn an ordinary night into an extraordinary masterpiece, look no further!
Highly recommend her to anyone who wants truly stunning, one-of-a-kind photos!

I'm so happy that I answered Sof's call out for an ice cave adventure. From the very first moment, she was professional, set up a call so we could both be on the same page and talk through our expectations. She made sure we were comfortable with a "no plan" plan and we were instantly so excited!!
The Bright Full Moon didn't seem to bother her and her night photos one bit. We laughed, we watched the clouds and the moon, we were in the moment. The amount of gratitude I have for not only the EPIC photos, but for the entire experience is more than I have words to describe.
One photographer to another, you are 1000% ahead of everyone else haha
To sum it all up: JUST DO IT. JUST BOOK HER.

After talking with Sofia, throwing together a spontaneous shoot, freezing my buns off and feeling more alive than I ever had before... well, that's when it the mirror matched the confidence. I got to see myself through her lens. She created a new type magic that I saw in me displayed in the photos. Sofia is one of a kind, her eye is unlike any other, her determination to get the shot is astounding.
The excitement that Sofia has with her clients radiates off of her the second you message her. She is a spark of genius within the photography community, the world won't know what happened to them once they see her photos.
Go, bask in the light of the moon as the stars twinkle on you. Or find the golden hour and feel the last bit of warmth on your skin. Find yourself from behind her lens. Go, feel alive.
