An intentional experience
From beginning to end, my laid-back approach centers on people first, and then follows with intention, so that when you get your gallery back, you can say "Yes! That's so us!"
"You really captured our truest selves and our most genuine feelings. It was like you captured the people we are when it's just the two of us at home.
The amount of times we gasped!! The amount of times we said "Wow she's so good!"
And most of all, the amount of times we said, "That's us, that's really us!"
The Experience
Process doesn't mean a thing if it doesn't come with purpose.
It's nice to Google Meet you.
After you inquire, let's hop on a video call to get to know each other. It's a chance for me to hear your priorities and listen from the beginning.
Curiosity as a core value:
Questions, check-ins, and cheer through every email, call, or rogue voice memo.
Hands off, bells on, & eyes wide. We're all in, bb! I promise to treat your moments & people with care & tenderness and to value your experience above all else.
Clear hearts, full gallery, can't lose. Why shouldn't the art continue to how you'll hold your photos? An online gallery lets you download, share, and order prints straight to your doorstep. And when you're ready, we can work together to make a bespoke custom album.
Process
"The perfect mix of professional & casual — from our first meeting, Sonum was 100% organized, but she was also fun, flexible, & spontaneous (& ready with her camera) whenever the unexpected arose.
She listened to our priorities as a couple and truly took our desires to heart and captured exactly the types of photos we were looking for.
Sonum was just a delightful person to be around. We were surprised how many guests went out of their way after the wedding to tell us how much they appreciated her “vibe” and how unobtrusive she was.
We were speechless...feeling like we got to experience so many more moments of this magical day.
WE LOVE EVERYTHING!! Sonum captured the joy, love, whimsy, sense of community, & small moments of our wedding so perfectly — it’s a priceless gift."
Process
"Meeting you has been one of the best things that has ever happened to us."
"We came into this engagement/ wedding process not knowing what to expect, but from the moment we met you, we felt so at home and like we could bring our whole selves into the process. You made us feel so comfortable & happy that it permeated through everything else.
Thank you for sharing your magic & bringing all of yourself to your work, & going the extra mile at every turn. Truly magical!
You have a very special power in helping people stop and see themselves and each other even in the midst of total chaos and meltdowns.
It is impossible not to love you to pieces and cherish your presence in our lives. Meeting you has been one of the best things that has ever happened to us and our family."
"Most importantly, you made me feel so seen and heard."
"Thank you for being you, for all the care & intentionality you poured into every email & conversation, for coming all the way & showing up fully & giving a shit about us.
I just feel very humbled in how lucky I got to have your presence and loving energy only add and aid to the day.
You pour yourself into your couples and into wedding days and post-process and everything in-between. You show up trying to capture it all.
You made me feel so comfortable in every aspect of this process, but most importantly, you made me feel so seen and heard. You really made the experience of creating together very special."
"You capture moments that genuinely portray emotions and love."
"You are such a talent and joy, an amazing person and photographer. We are so happy and grateful you could join us, and we are filled with gratitude tears!
You capture the moments no one else does, but that genuinely portray the emotions and love in the rooms we filled. How lucky we feel to have your photos, forever.
You were amazing and jived seamlessly with the group (and the city). A kept commenting how open I was with the camera, and that's in part because of you.
You were so easy to work with through the whole process, and it made a big difference.
We are so grateful to have met you, to now know you, and to have had you with us."
Emotions are complicated.
Pricing doesn't have to be.
Photos are deeply personal, and I pour a lot of care into making sure your photographs reflect you. And as much as I love the feelings & heart stuff, I want you to feel good about the head stuff, too:

"I would pick Sonum to photograph our wedding a million times over. Sonum prioritized taking time to get to know our personalities, family dynamics, and what was important to us before our wedding day. That intentionality allowed our photos to be a perfect reflection of who we are.
She made us feel instantly comfortable from the moment we met her, and through both our engagement shoot and wedding day, she made everything feel natural and genuine.
Sonum’s superpower is that she is somehow able to be everywhere all at once. I will never understand how she was able to capture every little moment of our day, every family member, and every guest, but I am eternally grateful that she did."
