Her Shift in Wedding Photography
For years, Sarah was rooted in the fast-paced environment of DC weddings, thriving in a metropolitan market. But when the opportunity arose to transition to South Carolina, she embraced the challenge with open arms.
This move wasn’t just about a change in scenery—it was about redefining her approach to wedding photography.
Destination weddings, with their blend of adventure and unpredictability, pushed Sarah to create work that reflected the couple's journey, not just the event. “It’s about bringing more meaning to the photos,” Sarah shares, emphasizing how much she values the stories she gets to tell.
Connection is Key
In Sarah’s eyes, great wedding photography starts with relationships. A personal connection with the planner, vendors, and—most importantly—the couple is essential. “If I understand the couple, their quirks, and their priorities, I can tell their story authentically,” she explains.
Building intentional relationships allows Sarah to craft images that resonate. Whether it’s knowing the bride’s favorite floral arrangement or understanding the significance of a father-daughter dance, Sarah is intentional in ensuring no moment is overlooked.
The Power of Emotional Storytelling
What sets Sarah apart is her ability to capture emotion. Every smile, every tear, every glance becomes a thread in the tapestry of the couple’s story. “A wedding day is more than a series of posed photos,” Sarah notes. “It’s a collection of fleeting, raw moments that deserve to be remembered.”
Her style blends fine art composition with heartfelt authenticity, creating images that transport her clients back to the emotions of their wedding day.

From Fashion to Weddings
Sarah’s time photographing New York’s Bridal Fashion Week has profoundly influenced her work. The high-fashion world, with its emphasis on details and precision, taught her to think beyond traditional wedding photography. She now brings an editorial flair to her weddings, combining elegance with timelessness.
“I love finding the balance between natural moments and elevated aesthetics,” Sarah shares. “It’s about creating something that feels real but also belongs in a magazine.”
This perspective enables Sarah to offer her clients something extraordinary—a mix of candid storytelling and breathtakingly styled portraits.
