Wedding Novelle, under the creative direction of Sophia, stands as a premier wedding photography company that combines fashion-forward aesthetics with timeless elegance. As Sophia describes, "Photography runs deep in my veins." Growing up in a family of photographers, Sophia was surrounded by the art from an early age. "Both my parents specialized in portraiture," she recalls, "I naturally gravitated towards the art form from an early age." Today, she leads Wedding Novelle with a vision that captures more than just moments; she encapsulates the emotions, beauty, and soul of each wedding day.
Her background in the fashion and beauty industry shapes her unique perspective. "My guiding principle is to elevate every couple into stars on their wedding day," Sophia explains. Her photography is not merely documentation but an artistic endeavor that transforms every couple into the centerpiece of a stunning editorial story. "We capture each moment with a documented flash look infused with a fashion-forward edge," she emphasizes, describing how she blends her artistic instincts with modern elegance.
When asked about their photography style, Sophia doesn’t hesitate: "THE LOOK is EDITORIAL, TIMELESS, fancy." These three words perfectly encapsulate the essence of Wedding Novelle’s portfolio. Their images are effortlessly stylish, blending high fashion aesthetics with the authentic emotion of the wedding day. Each frame feels intentional, like a page from a luxury magazine, while still capturing the intimacy and personal connections between the couple and their loved ones.
Sophia’s work has a unique cinematic quality, "I have a keen eye for capturing those elusive, artistic moments," Sophia shares. The editorial influence is clear in every image, with each one bathed in the most flattering light and crafted to feel both grand and intimate at the same time. "My background in the fashion and beauty industry has honed my skills, blending aesthetic finesse with contemporary flair in my work," she says.
Wedding Novelle’s artistry is matched by their technical expertise, using a range of equipment to achieve their signature look. "Flash, Canon Equipment, analog cameras, and my creativity," Sophia says with a smile. This combination of modern technology and traditional film photography allows her to create dynamic images that stand out.
In post-processing, Wedding Novelle is just as meticulous. "We change the colors and adjust them. Correct small things that are bothersome. Edit the skin tones," Sophia explains. The editing process is where the team refines each image, making sure every detail is perfect without losing the authenticity of the moment.
Sophia’s passion for perfection extends to her overall approach to photography. "A good photographer also knows what suits the couple and works well, and what doesn't," she says.
Wedding Novelle takes time to understand their clients' unique needs and goals through detailed discussions. "Have a detailed discussion to understand the client’s vision, goals, and specific requirements," they insist. "Clear communication and instructions for the client."
Wedding Novelle limits themselves to just 20 weddings per year to ensure that they can devote full attention to each couple. Each wedding package is tailored to meet the specific needs of the couple, with Wedding Novelle offering a starting coverage of 10 hours. The team works closely with each couple to design the day’s timeline and photo sessions, making sure everything flows smoothly and every significant moment is captured.
For those planning their big day, the team advises: “Feel free to read the Wedding Novelle Guide.” Whether it's tips on how to pose naturally or advice on the best time of day for golden hour shots, the guide is an invaluable tool for couples looking to make the most of their wedding photos. Destination weddings are a big part of what makes Wedding Novelle so special with Italy being their favorite destination.
