you are beautiful

Hello! I’m Sarah.

Documentary wedding photographer that collects candid moments from your authentic love story.

I am a documentary wedding Photographer based near Peterborough. Of all the things I have ever done, writing a bio about myself seems to be the hardest. Where do you start? How far back do you go? I can photograph weddings all day long, tie stray shoelaces, wipe tears and find lost bridesmaids. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Talking about me, not so easy but here goes.

I live in a little town in Lincolnshire not far from Cambridgeshire and Rutland borders. It’s not exactly the bright lights of London, but if you squint your eyes, the tractors could be black cabs.

I have a husband, a son who is 9, a cat called Lola, 2 dogs and various stuffed toys that seem to be part of the family now. I am bottom of the pecking order.

I like cake and wine. If there is no cake or wine its fine. I like tea too.

I like to be creative, I like to travel, and I like a good book. I also love a murder documentary, the weirder the better.

I am a collector of candid moments of your authentic love story.

That’s what I do. My couples have these amazing days and I get to watch them unfold through my camera. I collect those moments and save them for later. At my heart I am a documentary wedding photographer. There is still a place for a couple of traditional posed group shots, however, the real magic is in the storytelling of the moments as they unfold.

I love natural light over flash. The dance floor is one of my favourite places for those candid wedding photography shots. I will dance.

What I won’t do is cheesy, awkward, 1980s style poses. Shout at you, or shout at your nan (shouting at your nan was the worst thing I could think of).

Most Importantly I love love. In all shapes and forms. In the immortal words of The Backstreet Boys “I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did, as long as you love me” Ok so you don’t have to love me, but we do have to connect with each other and you have to at least love my style.

If you think I am the girl for you get in touch and we can talk all things wedding. Maybe meet for a coffee or cake, preferably both.

At Weddings

At weddings I have been known to climb trees, balance on walls and lay on the floor. All in the name of a good photo. I have also cried at a few weddings and laughed at some awful jokes. If you want to know the one about the giraffe and the lion let me know!

Normally I am out of sight, snapping away. A couple once told me, they thought I had gone home, only to find me on the dance floor photographing some questionable dance moves. I know where to be at what time and I can help make sure your day goes to plan. Weddings are my thing. I’ve got you.

  • Sarah is amazing at what she does... Not only does she capture your wedding day perfectly, she fits in like part of the family. I recommend Sarah to everyone. Not only is Sarah a photographer she will help you in other ways if you need her too, whether that be fixing your hair or doing up your dress. Even from the engagement shoot I just knew I'd picked the right photographer and I do not regret it one bit and even 3 years on I still have contact with her.

  • Sarah is fantastic! Our wedding was a wash out weather wise, we were so worried we wouldn’t get any photos! But Sarah was amazing and was drenched, but she captured the most amazing photos. Nothing was too much trouble for her, she went above and beyond.
