As a St. Louis wedding photographer, this rich form of memory preservation is so much more to me.

It is storytelling, emotions and art blended into something that should pull your heartstrings and bring a tear to your eye when you look back on your beautiful wedding day in the future.

It is seeing the beautiful details that time has eroded in your mind.

It is finding sweet moments you never knew happened because you were busy living in your own moment that day.

It is everything that celebrates and commemorates a love that will grow for years to come.

Here's the deal, I love photographing both Midwest, St. Louis and Southern Illinois weddings, and elopements far far away.

I love being around all the love and celebrating it. That's why I became a wedding photographer!

I also love following a new family through life and watching that love grow!

That is why I offer all my brides a 20% discount on all their future sessions for life.

"Sarah is so talented! She captures those little sweet moments so perfectly."

Your photographs and your spouse are the only things you take with you from your wedding. So, you better be pretty crazy about both of them, right? I would hope so! I strive to deliver the most beautiful photographs, memories that you want to relive over and over. That is why I also provide a way to do exactly that. If you're interested in displaying your photographs in your home, let me know, and I can help you plan out an entire display or an heirloom album so you can enjoy your wedding day every day.
