Lydia and Chaille’s spring engagement session was special for so many reasons- the main one being that Lydia has been a sweet friend to me over the years and capturing this milestone for her and Chaille was such an honor. We were able to do their spring engagement session at Spyglass Island on Lake Peachtree during golden hour and I had so much fun! These two needed very little direction from me and often broke out into full belly laughs, singing and dancing, sharing soulful looks and making jokes that had me in tears from laughing too hard. In a word- they were pure joy.

Spyglass Island over by Lake Peachtree has quickly become one of my favorite local spots for portrait sessions. There’s so much variety with the beautiful trees, open field and the view of Lake Peachtree is just picture perfect. The natural backdrop is just stunning in the spring when everything is in bloom and is equally gorgeous in the fall as the leaves are turning. Since our session was on the brighter side in the spring, I really loved how Lydia and Chaille chose colors that were a little darker to balance the brightness of the location. I also really loved how they coordinated the colors in their outfits and especially loved the fun pattern in Lydia’s dress. It was the perfect pop for their photos and really stood out against the natural backdrop.

Their spring engagement session looks how it felt- full of love, joy, and laughter. You can scroll down and see for yourself ;).

BEHIND THE LENS with alabama wedding photographer

Meet Sarah

At home in the garden. Ever-focused on finding beauty in simplicity and the art of creating.

I'm Sarah and I'm beyond blessed to photograph amazing people on some of the most important days of their lives. Based in Auburn, Alabama, my work takes me all over the southeast: from Atlanta, Savannah, and beyond. Photography, to me, is not about performance — it’s about presence.

In a world that celebrates what’s curated, I believe in celebrating what’s real. Your wedding day isn’t meant to be a production. It’s a promise — a tender beginning, a gathering of love, a day woven with quiet, unrepeatable moments. I photograph the in-between: the glances, the laughter, the hands reaching for one another. The soft pauses that will mean everything years from now. Because beauty isn’t found in what’s staged — it’s found in what’s felt.

My approach is calm, intentional, and rooted in trust. I want you to experience your day fully — to breathe, to be, to live in the joy of it — knowing I’ll be there to preserve every bit of its honesty and grace.

Your story deserves to be told artfully, but never artificially. Because long after the flowers fade and the music quiets, these photographs become part of your legacy — a reflection of who you are, and the love that began it all. This is photography that feels like memory — effortless, emotive, and true.

I’m a wife, mother of four, and believer in the quiet beauty of everyday life. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me baking in our 120-year-old Alabama home or tending to our garden — both remind me to slow down and notice what’s worth remembering. That same rhythm — of stillness, of gratitude, of paying attention — shapes how I photograph love stories. Because photography, like life, is most meaningful when it’s honest
