Sonju Photography

I’d say my photography style is 80% candid/journalistic, and 20% gently directed. I’m definitely moment and light driven, and don’t love to spend a ton of time on flat lays and details without a human element.

Growing up, I moved over 60 times – all over the world. That experience of making new friends quickly, and adapting to new surroundings almost yearly gave me the skills to “disarm” new people I meet pretty effortlessly. It also taught me to trust my instincts and adapt my communication style based on who I’m meeting. I’m also fu-king hilarious.

I have a pretty detailed questionnaire that digs into what my couples really value. And 99% of the time, it’s their guests. Learning who the VIPs are prior to the wedding day, and having an incredible support team of second photographers and assistants helps me get those important moments.

Tied between those 5 seconds right after the first kiss, and immediately after a first look when you can FEEL the nerves melting away. Love that shit.
