Italy has a magic that's almost impossible to put into words - ancient light, rolling Tuscan hills, centuries of beauty woven into every stone and courtyard. For Sophie McDermott, working here feels like a privilege she doesn't take lightly.

Sophie has worked with brides across Tuscany and Florence, including at the exceptional Villa Cora - one of Florence's most storied luxury venues. She understands the particular demands of destination weddings: the logistics, the light at different times of day, the importance of a look that travels beautifully and holds through a long, celebratory Italian day.

Whether your wedding is an intimate gathering in a Tuscan farmhouse or a grand celebration in a Florentine villa, Sophie brings the same care and precision she's refined across years of international editorial and bridal work. She has worked for publications including Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and Grazia, and with luxury fashion and jewellery brands - a level of experience that means your wedding day look is in exceptionally capable hands.

Sophie travels to Italy for destination weddings and is available throughout the European season. She'd love to hear about your plans.
