2027 wedding guide

soph fulk photo

 

Hi, I'm Sophie Fulkerson

 

 

Hi, I’m Sophie! I’ve always believed that the best photographs come from feeling comfortable, genuinely known, and completely yourself. That’s why I don’t want to simply show up on your wedding day, take beautiful photos, and send you on your way. I want to know you, hear your story, and become someone you genuinely enjoy having by your side throughout the entire process.




From our first conversation to the wedding day and beyond, I’m here to make the experience feel easy, personal, and fun. I love becoming friends with my clients, celebrating the little things with you, helping you feel confident in front of the camera, and being a calm presence when the day gets busy. My goal is for you to walk away with beautiful photographs and a photographer who feels a little more like a friend than a vendor.

 

Candid, real and intentional photography

photos that look how the moment felt

At Soph Fulk Photo, I believe the best photographs are the ones that bring you right back to how the moment felt. My approach is candid, intentional, and deeply rooted in the in-between moments—the laughter, the happy tears, the way your people look at you, and all of the little details that make your wedding uniquely yours. I want your gallery to feel genuine and effortless, never overly posed or staged, while still creating beautiful imagery you’ll be proud to have hanging in your home.

My editing is true to tone with a refined use of color, allowing the natural beauty of your day to shine through. I love rich, bold pops of color, beautiful light, and true-to-life skin tones, creating a gallery that feels vibrant yet timeless. Every image is thoughtfully crafted to look as beautiful years from now as it does today—honest to the moment, intentional in its composition, and unmistakably you.

STEP 01

 

inquire and review!

You’ve already checked this step off your list! You’re officially one step closer to checking “wedding photographer” off your wedding to-do list—and I couldn’t be more excited to be considered for the role.

STEP 02

 

consult call

Next, you and Sophie will hop on a 30-minute consultation call to get to know one another, talk through your wedding day, explore the collections, and chat about what working together could look like. This is a chance to ask questions, share your vision, and make sure SFP feels like the right fit for you.

STEP 03

 

book, contract, deposit

If you decide that Soph Fulk Photo is the right fit to photograph your wedding day, the next step is making it official! You’ll sign your wedding contract, submit your $1,000 non-refundable retainer, and begin planning your complimentary engagement session. From there, you’re officially an SFP couple—and I’ll be here to help you every step of the way.

STEP 04

 

make all the photo magic happen!

Once you’re officially an SFP couple, it’s time for the fun part! We’ll start with your engagement session, followed by your wedding day, where we’ll document all of the moments you’ll want to remember forever.


Then comes the best email—the one with your full wedding gallery! Within 8 weeks of your wedding day, your beautifully edited images will be delivered to your private online gallery, ready for you to download, share, print, and enjoy for generations to come.

My Process

 

second shooter

 

Every Soph Fulk Photo wedding collection includes a second photographer, with coverage hours varying by collection. Together, we’ll capture more of your day, more of your people, and all the little moments from every angle.

 

 

Engagement Session

 

Every Soph Fulk Photo wedding collection includes an engagement session. It’s the perfect opportunity for us to spend time together, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create beautiful photos to celebrate this season of your life.

 

 

personalized timeline planning, insider access, etc

 

From the moment you book, I’m here to help you feel confident and prepared. Every couple receives a one-hour planning call, personalized vendor recommendations, planning guides, and intentional timeline guidance to help your day flow seamlessly. You’re never left to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help make the entire experience feel easy and enjoyable.

 

 

6-8 week delivery

 

Your full wedding gallery will be delivered within 6–8 weeks of your wedding day, beautifully curated and edited so you can relive every moment for years to come.

 

did you know we offer an associate package?

Soph Fulk Photo offers two ways to document your wedding day: collections photographed by Sophie and associate photographer collections

At Soph Fulk Photo, you have the option to choose between having Sophie as your lead photographer or booking one of our SFP Associate Photographers. Our team of four associates are trusted, professional photographers who have been carefully vetted and personally trained by Sophie. They regularly work alongside her on wedding days, bringing their own experience and personality while staying true to the intentional, candid, and true-to-tone approach that defines SFP.



Whichever experience you choose, you can expect the same thoughtful communication, intentional planning, and seamless care from the moment you inquire through the delivery of your final gallery. The difference simply comes down to who is leading your photography team on your wedding day.

Our two offerings

The traditional Experience

Starting at $6,200.

When you book a collection with Sophie, Sophie personally photographs your wedding day as your lead photographer. This is the perfect choice for couples who are drawn to her approach, personality, and artistry—and who want to build a genuine relationship with their photographer along the way.


From your first conversation to timeline planning and, of course, your wedding day, Sophie will be by your side. She’ll get to know you, understand what matters most to you, and capture all of the meaningful in-between moments with an intentional and personal approach. By the time your wedding day arrives, you won’t feel like you’re being photographed by a stranger—you’ll feel like you have a friend there to celebrate it with you.

The associate experience

Starting at $3,750.

Our associate collections are a wonderful option for couples who love the Soph Fulk Photo style and experience while looking for a more accessible investment. Your wedding day will be photographed by one of our trusted SFP Associate Photographers—professional photographers who have been carefully selected and personally trained by Sophie to capture your day with the same intentional, candid, and true-to-tone approach that defines SFP.

While your associate photographer is behind the camera on your wedding day, Sophie personally edits every image from every associate wedding. This means your final gallery will still have the signature SFP look, with true-to-tone color, refined editing, and the same attention to detail you can expect from a wedding photographed by Sophie herself.

From planning to gallery delivery, Sophie remains involved behind the scenes to ensure everything feels seamless and intentional. You get the SFP experience, the SFP editing, and the SFP artistry—just with one of our trusted associates behind the camera.

“The only investment you make on your wedding day that tangibly and honestly keeps its value forever is your wedding photography.”

intead of adding on, here's 3 ways to eliminate costs from these packages....

remove the second shooter from the romeo or eclipse package

You’ve probably heard that having a second shooter is important on a wedding day. And while I agree they’re a great addition, I’ve photographed plenty of weddings completely on my own — and I’m confident doing so.

I shoot with multiple cameras for built-in backups and different perspectives, and after years of photographing weddings professionally, I’ve learned how to anticipate moments, multitask, and keep up with the day even when I’m flying solo.

A second shooter is nice to have, but not always necessary. If you’d rather skip the second shooter, remove them from any package and save $500.


Unfortunately, a second shooter is required at ALL associate weddings.

Adios, engagement session


Maybe you’ve already had engagement photos taken, or perhaps they just aren’t your thing. That’s totally okay! You can remove the engagement session from your package and save $400.

Getting married Jan 2nd-April 15th? Enjoy off season discounts!


Weddings taking place between January 2 and April 15 can enjoy $750 off any package with Sophie as the lead photographer.


A beautiful wedding, a quieter season, and a little extra room in the budget.

Testimonials

"There really aren’t enough words to describe how incredibly talented Soph is. She’s so multitalented in many ways outside of photography. She has the creative eye for all sorts of styles of shoots! She has been shooting branding / lifestyle photos of me for YEARS now and has been apart of the journey of engagement and wedding. There was certainly no other person I would have rather had be by my side nearly 24/7 on my wedding day. She kept spirits high, vibes in check, and kept the day moving and grooving. She puts her entire heart and soul into capturing every moment — and you feel those through her photos. Her passion radiates & her energy is contagious. Her work speaks for itself. 12/10 this is your girl."

Testimonials

"I don't even know where to begin, Sophie was amazing, one of the best parts of our wedding day. She truly was a joy to work with and made the whole day feel relaxed and just fun. She captured more than we could have even asked for. She focused on us but also on capturing our family and friends. It feels like she really just understood what we wanted out of the day. Our engagement photo session was also amazing, we had so much fun with her. We knew from the first time chatting with her that she was the photographer we wanted to work with and she delivered!! Thanks Sophie!!"

Not only is she so talented but she is one of the nicest, most fun & creative girls out there.

We will absolutely be using Sophie in the future for other shoots and would HIGHLY recommend her to future brides. She truly made our day 100x better than it already was. I truly could not have asked for a better photographer!"

"To say Sophie is amazing would be an understatement. She was my hype women the entire day. She carried my dress for me, helped get stains out of it and brought the energy the same night. She is unlike any photographer I’ve met through other weddings. She is kind, professional and so much fun. She made me feel so loved the entire day. Not only is Sophie great as a person, but she is also so talented as a photographer. Her photos she captured are beautiful and helped us relive our special day. We will be using Sophie as our photographer for all future events!"

Dear Potential Client,


Thank you.


What an incredible honor it is to have you here. The fact that you’ve taken the time to inquire with Soph Fulk Photo and consider me to document such a meaningful chapter of your life truly means more than I can put into words.


I never take the opportunity to photograph a wedding lightly. To be welcomed into such an intimate, joyful day and entrusted with the memories you’ll hold onto for generations is one of the greatest gifts of what I get to do. I hope that throughout this guide, you’ll get a glimpse not only into my work, but into the experience of having SFP by your side.


The next step is a 30-minute consultation call, where we’ll step away from the logistics for a moment, get to know one another, hear more about your wedding, and walk through the collections together. I want you to feel completely confident in the person you choose to have beside you—not only with a camera, but throughout one of the most meaningful days of your life.


I truly hope we get the chance to celebrate your story together.


With gratitude,
Sophie
