About

Overview & Vibe

Sophie Sullivan has been photographing weddings in Tasmania for close to a decade, working from nipaluna, lutrawita — Hobart — and travelling all around the state. She photographs everything from big joy-filled celebrations to secret elopements in the wild parts of the island, and she is a teacher and a mother of two as well as a photographer.

Style & Approach

Her style leans photojournalistic for most of the day: she watches the day unfold rather than arranging it, and says the compliment she hears most often from couples and their guests is that she moves like a ninja and they never saw her take the shot. Portrait time is the exception, where she gives gentle direction to find good light — she is firm that there is no awkwardness and no over-posing, and that couples should end up enjoying it.

Ideal For

Tasmanian couples, and anyone marrying on the island who wants someone who already knows its light and its weather. She is openly a member of the LGBTQI+ community and states that her business is a safe space for all kinds of lovers and families.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Wedding coverage begins at $3,750; elopements begin at $1,800 and can be tailored to what you need.
  • There is a six-hour minimum for weddings, and you can expect upwards of 600 images.
  • Your online gallery arrives within three to four weeks, at full size and at a size for sharing, with no watermarks.
  • She is taking fewer weddings from 2025 onward, so dates fill quickly — there is a waitlist if her books are not yet open.
  • She also photographs maternity, newborn and family sessions.
  • She travels all around Tasmania, and further if your wedding takes her there.

Standout Feature

She publishes an acknowledgement of country naming the Muwinina people of nipaluna, lutrawita, and uses the palawa kani names for her home city and island throughout her own writing.

Albums & Prints
