I cannot believe I am writing this on March 6, 2017 but there are SO many amazing images I made last year and so many awesome people I met along the way—I can't leave them behind without an awesome recap. 2016 proved to be the first big year of travel for SAP, including weddings and engagements in Chicago, New York, Asheville, Miami & Vermont. 2017 has even more destination weddings on the books.
Read MoreI have to be honest—New Years Eve has never been a holiday favorite of mine. I normally end up worn out from the year with a lovely head cold on my couch in Vermont. This year, when Katrina reached out only 2 months prior to the wedding I was SO excited to be part of their evening—and of all places, overlooking the city of St. Augustine on the White Room rooftop. Also, the two of them are freakin' awesome and were up for any creative direction. We had a first look to capture portraits before dark, a GORGEOUS evening wedding on the rooftop, followed by portraits in the plaza.
Read MoreManda & Jeremy had their destination wedding in St. Augustine because it's one of their favorite historic cities. They have been together nearly a decade and everyone was ready to see them tie the knot.
Read MoreKimberly and Johan are from Chicago and wanted to treat their families & friends to a fall destination wedding. They literally stumbled upon St. Augustine and chose the White Room as soon as they saw its awesome rooftop view. The Cubs won the World Series the NIGHT BEFORE the wedding so everyone was in AMAZING spirits all week long.
Read MoreI had a blast in Chicago for a little over 36 hours and I couldn't have had better tour guides than Kimberly & Johan. I absolutely LOVE seeing where my destination couples live and will travel anywhere to shoot awesome engagement sessions. It pushes me creativity to be on the loose in a new city!
Read MoreWas super excited when Danielle reached out asking about shooting their engagement at the Ice Plant Bar. Not only is it one of my favorite spots (and has killer light falling from the high windows mid-morning) but Verne is co-owner of Bosscal Mezcal and they wanted to incorporate the awesome bottle as well. Danielle & Verne are getting married in 2 months and I am super psyched to be part of their intimate wedding at The Lightner Museum & Casa Monica Hotel.
Read MoreI was not available for Oriana & Chad's wedding this past December—and was surprised (and excited!) to hear back from them a month later, saying that they were happy with their ceremony photos but really wanted a session with me for creative portraits. I had to post some of these images— not only because I am missing the night of lights magic but because her dress was killer and deserves some recognition.
Read More2015 was one crazy ride—a year of growth and exploring personal projects— shooting over 20 weddings and elopements and starting Vision for Empowerment, a program teaching photography workshops in Kolkata, India.
Here are a few frames celebrating this year. HUGE thanks to my clients for letting me do my thing (which often means pulling out prisms, light sabers and odd-looking gear) in order to create awesome and unique wedding photos.

Working with Ali & Marcie was like hanging out with longtime friends. We met over a year ago now and I am already nostalgic thinking back to our first shoot at the Iceplant and surprising shrimp boat captains on the docks downtown.
Their wedding was perfect. They rented a big ol' house on Saint Augustine Beach (on 1st Lane—one of the best rentals around) and were married at the White Room's rooftop right before sunset. I am so thankful to have met these two women and their awesome families. Their bridal party was full of nieces and nephews and their energy made the group shots really come to life!
Thanks to all the amazing vendors who made these two brides look awesome and rock out the whole day.
Read MoreBrooke & Ryan were married on June 14, 2015. It was a hot day (ask any of the groomsmen, who hung at the fort in the afternoon sun, before grabbing beers at Meehan's) but the indoor ceremony inside The White Room, along with a reception overlooking the Bayfront couldn't have been sweeter—or cooler. I met Brooke & Ryan last spring and knew immediately that I was going to have a blast working with them. We have since became friends, as Brooke yelled as I was packing up our gear at the end of the night, "Sarah, we can hang out now!" I am so happy for the both of them and for not once complaining about the blanket of humidity that hung over us as we took portraits on Charlotte Street. They turned out gorgeous.
