Mum, wife, photographer.. 

Hi, I'm Sarah

For the last 10 years I've been lucky enough to photograph literally hundreds of weddings in all kinds of amazing places, spending beautiful days with wonderful people, being creative, making friends and crying at wedding speeches. I've worked hard to create a business, approach and unique style that I and my clients love, and now I can't imagine ever doing anything else.

About

But I wasn't always a wedding photographer..

Before taking the leap into photography full-time, I spent 10 years working in the IT industry. Photography started as a little hobby alongside my day job and slowly grew into something much bigger. Leaving the security of a stable career to pursue photography full-time was one of the scariest decisions I've ever made, but it's also one of the best. Building a business from the ground up, doing work that I truly love, am passionate about and immensely proud of has given me more fulfilment than I ever imagined, and a decade on I still can't believe I get to do this as a job.

My husband Matty and I have been together for 17 years after meeting through mutual friends, and we live in Nantwich with our daughter Elsie, our golden retriever Honey and our cat Stevie. We moved into our 1906 Edwardian home over a decade ago and have been slowly renovating it ever since. At this point, I'm not entirely convinced it'll ever be finished.

Photography really started with Elsie. When she was a toddler, I became obsessed with capturing all of those fleeting moments and little bits of personality that change so quickly, I found myself drawn to natural light & genuine emotion. I shared some of the photo's I'd taken of her and suddenly other people were asking me to photograph their families. One of those families asked me to photograph their wedding, and the rest is history! 

I was photographing a wedding only recently and realised I had the biggest smile on my face. I just genuinely love people, their stories, and being invited into such an important chapter of their lives. Some of my past couples have become some of my closest friends, and there are people I first met as wedding clients who I now speak to almost every day.

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll usually find me in the garden or greenhouse, paddle boarding or hanging upside down at aerial yoga, tracking down the best vegan treats or continuing my love/hate relationship with running.
