NYC & Destination Editorial Photographer capturing magnificent weddings, elopements, engagements and events
Weddings, like most amazing days, go by in a blur. Months (or years) of planning leads up to a celebration that lasts less than half a day. When choosing your wedding photographer, take care in selecting someone you feel understands you - someone who will document all your most precious moments, candids, and memories. Find someone that speaks to you on both a personal & emotional level.
Because when the cake is cut, the music is gone, and the flowers have dried, all you have left are your photos. I want nothing more than to capture images that mean the world to you and that you want to look at for the rest of your lives. No matter whom you end up booking, I encourage you choose someone whose photos make you feel all of the smiles, tears, and celebrations their images capture.

The SKP Experience
as seen in:
"Our photos look like something out of a magazine and are pure perfection."
-sara g.
Sophie made my entire engagement/wedding experience phenomenal. She was extremely accommodating for my out of town schedule and made sure the day of flow perfectly. Our photos look like something out of a magazine and are pure perfection. We have had multiple guests reach out to comment on how "award winning" her photos look. She & her team were so easy to work with and perfectly executed the day. I wish I could use her all over again!
"Sophie was an absolute dream and delight to work with!! Her beautiful photos speak for themselves."
-hayley
Sophie's shots are timeless, romantic, and have a magical quality of transporting you to the moment they were taken. I cannot say enough about how happy we were working with Sophie! We had the pleasure of working with her over the course of our three day wedding and by the end we didn't want to say goodbye. Her easy going personality will make you feel like you are in the company of a best friend and her photos will make you feel all the love you felt on your wedding day all over again.
"Photography was the most important thing for us during wedding planning, and she exceeded our expectations."
-IVANAH & ROB
From hiking waterfalls in Upstate New York during our engagements, to capturing the happy tears shared between my husband and I during our first look on our wedding day, Rob and I are eternally grateful for Sophie and all the raw moments she captured…moments we hold near and dear to our hearts.
"She is an absolute joy to work with and worth every penny. We adore her and would hire her again in a heartbeat."
-Kristen
The beauty of Sophie's photography is obvious from all of her previous work, but what you don't know until you work with her is how professional, warm, and calming her presence is on your wedding day.
"Sophie is the best decision you will make for your wedding. Her photography style is utterly timeless — pure art."
-Lindsey
She has devoted herself to her craft and it SHOWS in the effortless elegance of her work.
It is: standing in a windswept, beautiful landscape as the sun rises. Listening to the soaring crescendo of live music. Heels clicking on polished floors of endless galeries d'art. Filtered sunlight on a pond. The sheen and rustle of a silk dress. A room full of flickering candles. The floating bubbles in a glass of champagne. Feeling their hands, warm against yours. Being in a space that has been inhabited by countless others who had their own stories, and celebrations, and romances, and feeling all of a sudden that you, too, are part of something incredible.
Pour les Nouveaux Romantiques
LIVES LIFE TO THE FULLEST
THEY'RE SENTIMENTALISTS
THEY BELIEVE IN LOVE & JOY FOR ALL.
values & vision of
They adore the thrill and beauty of life and live for laughing. They love eating delicious food, and traveling to incredible places. They are a joy to be around and adore their family and friends.
They adore history, handwritten letters, old love songs, family photo albums, and heirlooms. They have a keepsake box of ticket stubs, postcards, and polaroids.
They value compassion, open-mindedness, and celebrating love for all couples, regardless of sexual orientation, race, or beliefs.
The Sophie Kaye Couple
AN EYE FOR DESIGN
THEY LOVE THEIR DOG(S)
THEIR FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT.
values & vision of
Their style is fashion forward and inspired. Colored couture gowns or matching patterned suits, the perfect pair of designer shoes, or an elaborate headpiece are all must-haves for their wedding day details.
And have too many nicknames for them to count. They'll probably walk down the aisle with them, or at least are a big part of the engagement session.
Their grandparents and parents have places of honor at their wedding day and they can't wait for their parents to walk them down the aisle. Their siblings are some of their favorite guests and they looks forward to the wedding as a family reunion for those they haven't seen in a while.
The Sophie Kaye Couple
My goal is to make your wedding and engagement photos feel timeless, editorial, and incredibly personal to you & those you love. All wedding collections include an engagement session, an online gallery to share with family and friends, and at least eight hours of coverage. Additional photographers, albums, and extra hours are available for purchase in packages or a la carte.
Investment
custom wedding collections
Wedding clients typically invest between 12 to 15k on their wedding package
Weddings book fairly far in advance, but if you need a photographer – email me! Peak wedding season is May – October, and my weekends fill up fast. But there’s always a chance I might be able to help out last minute, or can direct you to another local photographer who can. If you’re planning a destination wedding and want to reach out to me way in advance, please do! That will help with travel logistics and blocking off the days around your date while we might be on our way to somewhere amazing.
a few things to keep in mind...
Dear Clients
You are investing in someone who gives their all to create your very first family heirlooms. Wedding photography is a long, hard, intense job and I love it. I believe in emotion, in intimacy, and in photographing everything from the timeless family formals to the tiny details you’ll never want to forget. That’s why when you reach out, I want to start to become your friend. Tell me about your first date, what you love about eachother. How you met, or where you live. I’m going to be telling your story, but first I need the prologue.

Dear Clients
I’m invested in you, both as individuals and as a couple. Want my opinion on dresses, engagement session locations, or a makeup trial? Need some help with wedding details but your friends are starting to become overwhelmed? No worries – I love this stuff. Send me an email, or let’s grab coffee. I’m happy to help.

Dear Clients
I know it’s hard to avoid pinning all your favorite photos in an effort to recreate them on your wedding day, but I promise – your images will be a thousand times more genuine and authentic if we let them happen or unfold naturally. For this reason I do not allow shot lists beyond photos of family members – I don’t want to be focused on getting every single thing and missing potential real photos, and I promise I will remember to get a picture of your dress hanging up or your first dance.

Dear Clients
I aim to have your photos delivered within 4 weeks of your wedding day, and I will always have a sneak peek up the day after. Images are sent to you and your guests via a private digital gallery for sharing, printing, and facebooking. I also send you and your partner the hi-resolution photographs via USB, so you have a secure backup.

Dear Clients
I’m not talking a band, delicious cake, or something blue (although all of those are equally important). I’m talking personal details, love letters to each other, and time to be alone. I feel like sometimes my couples forget about themselves during wedding planning in an effort to plan an amazing celebration for their guests – so make an effort to include a sweet surprise for each other, to schedule a quick 10 minutes to sneak away after cocktail hour, or to include little nods to your love story through food, accessories, and music. There’s nothing more exciting for me to photograph, and those things always make the day even better for everyone.
