We are so incredibly grateful to Sarah, for capturing our day so beautifully...
Every single photo tells a story and brings back all the emotions, joy, and love we felt in those moments.
Your attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful ones is truly special. You made us feel so comfortable, and it shows in every image.
Looking through our photos feels like reliving the most magical day of our lives, and we will treasure them forever. Thank you, Sarah, for being such an important part of our wedding—we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

FAQ
do you travel?
What happens if it rains?
when will we get our photos?
what is the retainer?
Rain doesn't have to ruin your day! I'll bring a few clear or white umbrellas for the wedding party & couple photos. I also recommend having your own umbrellas for guests and a wet-weather option for your ceremony, such as a marquee or covered area.

What is the retainer?
Your wedding date is secured once your contract has been signed and a $1,500 booking retainer has been paid. The retainer reserves your date exclusively for you and covers the initial planning, preparation and administration involved in securing your wedding photography. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks before your wedding day.
Every cent was so worth it, we will be happily looking back at these for the rest of our lives.
Im in love with our wedding photos! Sarah was so professional, friendly and reliable - which helps out a bride-to-be so much! Quick responses and super helpful each step of the way. Chefs kiss for quality of photos - you won’t regret working with her.
