Welcome adventurers...
We are Neil and Sophie, husband and wife, and founders of
The Crown and the Sword Photography - Fantasy Wedding Photography for fantasy lovers and nerds of all kinds.
Lifelong lovers of fantasy realms and wielders of cameras, we create photographs for those who would rather write their own legend than follow a script.
OUR LORE
Our love for storytelling started long before we picked up cameras. Born from epic quests in Dungeons & Dragons, the sweeping landscapes of Middle-Earth, and the deep lore of fantasy worlds that have shaped our imaginations over many years of our lives.
We've been photographers for the last decade, creating images with magical, fantasy and romantic elements, both in our own styles and together as a team.
We tied the knot ourselves in 2024, and we know that for those who dream beyond the ordinary, you need photographers who get your vibe, with fantasy wedding photography to match... and so The Crown and The Sword was born!
All fantasy is welcome here!
Are you lovers of the dark and mysterious, or are you destined to frolic the fields?
Do you roll the dice to decide your next move, or are you away with the fairies?
We live and breathe the fantasy life.
We cut our wedding cake with a sword we forged together.
We own far-too-many pieces of armour.
We play D&D together every week.
The love of this genre runs deep, and it means so much to capture the love between those who adore it as much as we do.
We are fantasy photographers for fantasy lovers, like you!
If you see your wedding as more than just a day but as part of your grand, legendary tale together, we’d love to be the ones to help you tell it.
'FANTASY PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR NERDS OF ALL KINDS'
Our Philosophy
A shared love of the fantastical.Why we do it.
When we planned our own wedding, we felt stuck between the conventional or 'alternative-but-standard'.
We wanted swords, and greenery and 3D printed minis on the cake - so we made our own path, forging our own day to start our great adventure together!
These days, we champion those who want their wedding to be authentically *them*, no matter what anyone else thinks!
Our Promise
We get your kind of vibe.If you want your celebration to feel more like a grand adventure, a great gathering of your most loved ones, or a legendary party, we’ll be there, quietly crafting images that look as though they tumbled out of a storybook, yet remain true to who you are.
However you choose to have your day - there's no judgement, only massive enthusiasm for having your wedding your own way!
Ready when you are. Roll that initiative.
The realm is yours - let’s conjure the magic together.
THIS IS YOUR SPACE
OUR REALM IS YOURSAll love is welcome here!
We are supporters and champions of LGBTQ+ love, as well as empowering neurodiversity. We aim to be as accessible as possible to support all folks through their wedding adventure, and we are always prepared to learn to be the best supporters we can be!
