When I was younger, I had this huge dream of being an actress, bringing stories to life and connecting with audiences. At 19, I took a leap and hopped on a plane to California, diving headfirst into acting classes and learning English all at once. The ride was wild—I met incredible folks and had mind-blowing experiences that set me on the path I'm on today.
Life took a turn when I met my now husband in Mexico, and I eventually moved to the UK. Fast forward to now, and I'm a proud mom of two amazing kiddos. After my second child was born, my love for storytelling was rekindled, but this time, I found my calling behind the camera. I get to capture YOU as the star of your own story, complete with a happy ending. I spend my days with awesome couples, whether in the UK or abroad, freezing those special memories in time to be passed down through generations.
With a background in event management, I bring a unique perspective to my role as a wedding photographer. Having navigated the intricate details of organising and managing events, I have a keen eye for capturing the essence of special moments. From the grandeur of weddings to intimate celebrations, I am committed to ensuring that every detail is expertly documented, resulting in a visual narrative that tells your unique love story.
I'm a mum of 2, lover of travel (and the path less-travelled), chef amateur, film lover and a French Canadian settled in the UK.
I'M sarah. a london based uk & destination wedding photographer. I BELIEVE YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS SHOULD BE WORKS OF ART.
