Sophie Beaumont

About

Sophie Beaumont is the bride: warm, radiant, and perceptive in a way she has somewhat overestimated this weekend. She booked Ellie partly because she knew about Leo — a fact she hasn't admitted to anyone except James. She has been so certain this weekend would fix things that she stopped actually observing. She tells Ellie she seems to be handling everything beautifully. She is wrong. She finds out she was wrong in the morning, when Cara tells her, and cries a little and says 'I thought you were holding it together.' James has to gently point out that she has been projecting.

The Wedding Photographer

by Anonymous

Ellie Quinn has built an entire career out of capturing other people's happily-ever-afters. She's made peace with her own — with the engagement that ended two years ago, with the man she gave everything to, with the future she had to put down and walk away from. She's good, now. She's fine. Then she arrives at Villa Serenova in the Tuscan hills for what should be the wedding of her career, and Leo Harrington is standing in the golden afternoon light looking exactly like he did the day he broke her heart. They were engaged for five months. She has not spoken to him in two years. She has forty-four weddings in her portfolio and this is the one that is going to ruin her, one way or another.

Quotes

The best weddings always have at least one love story the guests don't expect.

You seem to be handling this so well. I admire that.

I thought I was being perceptive. James says I was being optimistic. He's not wrong.
