That’s why I always begin a wedding day by photographing the bridal details. It sets the tone […]

BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT 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. After photographing my first wedding nearly a decade ago, I was immediately drawn into the magic of creating a visual narrative that artfully expressed a couple's love story. Motherhood deepened my passion and inspired me to create images that were even more timeless and meaningful- photos that truly captured those moments and emotions in a real and organic way.
My goal is to photograph your wedding as if it were my own- blending beautiful portraiture with candid emotional imagery. I believe in an approach that is people-centered, simple, and rooted in kindness: I will guide you when needed and also step back to let those beautiful candid moments unfold naturally, ensuring your memories are not only preserved but also felt.
When my camera is not in hand, you can find me at home with my four children, dreaming up my next home improvement project in our 120 year old home, or planning out the next addition to our garden.
LET'S mAKE

Something Beautiful
With an emphasis on natural beauty, my photography highlights the organic moments and romantic story of your wedding day. I aim to create beautiful images that tell your love story with authenticity and elegance.
