LET ME BE YOUR GUIDE
I’M SARAH
CRAFTING WILD,
SOULFUL ELOPEMENTS IN
NORTHERN MICHIGAN
I’m your resident Northern Michigan lover and adventure photographer. And I’m seriously doing a dorky happy dance, because something in my photography resonated with you. I always have my favorite locations saved, and genuinely love that I’m able to live my daydream, and connect with adventurous souls through my work.
I’m not afraid to run or climb to get the best angle, get into the water, or spend the extra time it takes to create photographs that tell your story. Whether you’re having an intimate ceremony on the lakeshore, or throwing a wild dance party in an orchard, I’ll document your connection and intimacy while having a hell of a good time!

FILM
CONTACT ME FOR RATES
Adding film photos to your wedding brings a layer of nostalgia, artistry, and timeless beauty that digital can’t quite replicate. Here’s why couples love including film photography in their wedding day:
✨ 1. It captures emotion differently.
Film has a softness and depth that naturally enhances the emotion of a moment. The tones feel organic, skin looks dreamy, and the light feels alive — it’s less about perfection and more about feeling.
🎞️ 2. It tells your story with timeless texture.
Film photographs have a grain, warmth, and depth that give your gallery a romantic, cinematic quality. Decades from now, your wedding photos will still feel classic — not tied to editing trends or filters.
📷 3. It slows things down.
Each frame on film is intentional. Your photographer takes the time to compose each shot carefully, creating a calm, artful rhythm that balances the fast-paced energy of the day.

SUPER 8 FILMS
CONTACT ME FOR RATES
Adding Super 8 film to your wedding is like bottling your memories in pure nostalgia — dreamy, imperfect, and beautifully real. Here’s why couples are falling in love with it:
🎞️ 1. It feels like a memory.
Super 8 film captures your day with a soft, flickering warmth that feels straight out of an old home movie. It doesn’t just show what your wedding looked like — it shows what it felt like.
✨ 2. It’s timeless and romantic.
The grain, the blur, the vintage tones — all of it creates a cinematic, nostalgic quality that never goes out of style. Watching it feels like flipping through a love story from another era.
