“We are so grateful to have had Sophie and Neil as our wedding photographers. They captured our day exactly how we envisioned. They both went above and beyond, Sophie even helped steam the dresses on the morning of the wedding! The photos are stunning and truly tell the story of our day. Even on the lead up to the wedding, they were great at helping us figure out how we wanted the day captured, and truly catered to our needs! We couldn’t recommend them more!”

“We hired The Crown and The Sword Photography for our wedding day and Sophie and Neil are the absolute ultimate duo! From our very first online meeting, they made the whole process feel seamless and I knew we were in safe hands.
On the wedding day itself, they made us feel like the heroes of our own story rather than just people posing, helping us feel incredibly comfortable behind the lens. They reminded us to focus on what the day was truly about - us and what we wanted!”

“Neil and Sophie were really great at our wedding. Not only did they show up early at the venue and had already taken in the perimeter, they helped a really nervous bride and groom relax about the big day, and were really good at ushering people together. We never needed to stress or worry about posing family or friends, especially when we were clueless. Photos were really beautiful and turned out exactly like we envisioned. We wanted a subtle fantasy theme and they turned out to be the perfect photographers”

“We booked the Crown and the Sword Photography for our wedding and they were truly fantastic! Neil and Sophie were both professional, organised and communicated well with us. But what really made them stand out was how nice and friendly they were. It helped to create the happy and relaxed atmosphere we wanted at our wedding. My wife is normally really nervous about having her photograph taken, but their calm manner helped her to feel comfortable throughout.”

“My now-fiancé and best friend managed to get the lovely Sophie and Neil roped into his proposal plans. I had followed Sophie through Headshots and Hydrangeas for some time and the way they help orchestrate the proposal was fantastic and they made both my fiancé and I feel at ease (even though we were both nervous!) They are both brilliant and although we're early in our wedding plans, the only thing we're certain on (other than getting married) is having these lovely humans to capture the day!”

“Sophie and Neil were great! They were very communicative before the session and explained things during the session but created a relaxed vibe. They had creative ideas and also let us feed in to what we wanted. The photos look amazing and it was a fast turnaround.”

“I've worked with Sophie & Neil on a number of occasions and their artistry, professionalism, quick turnaround, and ability to put models at ease are truly unmatched. We shot some photos together with my partner at Fantasy Forest. He's extremely camera-shy, but Sophie & Neil managed to really bring him out of his shell and help him pose. We got some absolutely lovely photos both individually and as a couple. I recommend them for your fantasy couple photos, especially if you are usually nervous posing!”
