Borderlands based Wedding photographer, here to capture your Wedding no matter how big or small!
About Me
"My style of photography is more capturing the rare moments and those natural shots"
Hello! I’m Sophie
I am the Wedding photographer for Herds Media, we are a family run business with a heritage of photography through 4 generations of wedding photographers. Herd’s Media has grown year on year since its formation in 2017 and while this is a new venture for us as a business, we have nearly 10 years of photography and Videography experience and over 80 years with of photography knowledge passed down over the 4 generations.
My focus is on making sure that you have a wonderful day to look back on whether you're eloping or going all out, I don't want you having to make a decision on more guests or a photographer when you can have both as I believe every story should be captured.
On the day I will capture natural shots (Maybe a cake to the face!?) as well as traditional, even the smirk before the speeches, the tears from your parents face, and the longing look of "we are finally doing it" between you both. I want you to have your special day with ALL of the people you love and the photographs of all the memories after that day.

Testimonials
Abbie & Grant
We were fortunate enough to have Herd's Media Weddings photograph and video our special day, and what an absolutely amazing job they did! They captured all the special moments, with the attention to detail second to none. They made myself and my wife feel very comfortable on what can be a nerve racking day, and nothing was too much trouble. We can't recommend them enough, you are guaranteed to be in safe hands on your very special day. Thank you for everything!
