TESTIMONIALS & LOVE NOTES
Nikki & Clayton // Los Cabos Mexico
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!

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!!!
Sarah & Mark // Fairmont Banff Springs Alberta
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!
Steph & Brandon // Bear Mountain Vancouver Isle.
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!
Gyann & Lynda // Bearpaws Club
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.
Kari & Mike // Fairmont Banff Springs Alberta
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!
