About Sarah

Within the last 16 years, 
I have photographed hundreds of weddings across the country, 

and traveled to some of the most breathtaking places on Earth.

Photography is not just about what something looks like—it’s about what it feels like. Throughout this time, my work has become more than photography; It’s a practice in presence.

Rainy mornings, candlelit dinners, and late-night laughter with midnight margaritas. The imperfect, the in-between, the small moments that make up our lives—Whether you're running barefoot in a garden, or beneath cathedral ceilings; I'm here to be your calming anchor on the day, knowing when to offer direction at the right moments, and when to disappear and capture moments uninterrupted.

"Because romanticizing isn't about making things prettier than they are. It's about trusting they might already be beautiful- if only for a moment, if only from a certain angle, if only because we're paying attention"

- Huy Nguyen

A Grounded, Artful Presence.

You deserve wedding photographs that feel as alive as the day itself — effortless, elegant, and full of heart.
I’m Sarah, a Colorado-based wedding photographer capturing romantic & intimate celebrations across Denver, Vail, Boulder, Aspen, and Telluride, and for couples who celebrate anywhere in the world.

Whether that's the classic editorial glam of New York & Boston, candlelit villas along Italy’s coast, or the ethereal romance of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
My approach blends fine art and editorial storytelling with a relaxed & playful touch.
I focus on intimate weddings and celebrations where every detail feels intentional and deeply personal. You can trust that I’ll capture the laughter, quiet glances, and energy that makes it uniquely yours.
I’m most inspired in places where architecture and nature speak the same language; From historic estates and castles to vineyards and mountain gardens.
My couples are travelers, creatives, and dreamers who value meaning over perfection. They love celebrating in a way that feels refined yet down to earth, nostalgic yet modern.
Whether in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, or under the Tuscan moonlight, I create imagery with both digital & 35mm film that feels cinematic, emotional, and real.
Together, we’ll turn your wedding into a living work of art, one that tells your story beautifully for decades to come.
