FAQ

Where Are You Based & Do You Travel?

I am based in Gloucester, Gloucestershire UK but I am lucky enough to photograph weddings all around the UK and worldwide! The best news? I don't charge any travel fees for UK weddings. I'll even fly to Scotland and it won't cost you anything extra. WHAT A DEAL!

What Is A Pre Wedding Shoot?

A photoshoot for us to get to know each other better and to get comfortable in front of the camera before your BIG day. This is included in my luxury wedding package or you can add it on for only £250.

These are so fun and is not limited to just the two of you. Feel free to bring your fur babies and children too.

What Does A Full Day Look Like?

I typically arrive 2.5hrs before your ceremony to capture the fun preparations, stay with you all the way to your first dance AND more! Don't worry I won't just disappear, I always stay for the party to capture the dance floor madness.

How Many Photos Will We Receive?

This totally depends on your wedding day, but on a full day you're likely to receive 500+ images which gets delivered in colour and black & white so DOUBLE IT.

Did you book a second shooter? Your gallery will be HUGE, let's just leave it at that.

How Far In Advance Can We Book You?

It is never too early to plan your wedding and book your suppliers. I am still taking bookings for 2026 and my books are open for 2027+2028.

Do You Recommend Having A Second Photographer?

Yes, absolutely! I'm 100% comfortable shooting by myself, but on a wedding day it's super great to have an extra set of eyes to capture the things I might not be able to. For example: a second photographer can capture the groomsmen getting ready, while I capture the bridesmaids. They can photograph your reception while we're away at your couple portraits or do you want to know my favourite? They can capture your partners reaction when you walk down the aisle. You'll get photos from a completely unique perspective, which is a huge bonus for your wedding gallery.

Do You Charge For Travel?

No, not at all. I like to keep my packages super simple and straight forward so if you're getting married in the UK, I will travel to you at no extra cost.

Are You Insured?

Absolutely! I have both Professional Indemnity & Public Liability insurance.

Can you picture yourself in my photos?

'What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce.'

Sara is honestly the most incredible person and photographer, kind, friendly, funny and made us feel so comfortable! As most people do, we felt like we weren’t going to be good in front of the camera but Sara made us feel so comfortable and gave us some amazing tips which made us feel so relaxed! We had engagement photos too which was a really lovely touch as it gave us chance to get to know Sara and have a feel in front of the camera before the big day.

Georgia & Sean

As soon as I had to choose a wedding photographer, Sara was my first choice. On the day of the wedding and before, she was friendly, attentive, and helpful. We felt like Sara was our friend. Besides, no one felt like they were being photographed. I don't know how she managed to take so many great photos. Honestly, I can't thank her enough. Choosing the right photographer is crucial, and I was so lucky to meet her.

Tatiana & Dan

We can’t thank Sara enough for all the patience and the work that she put into our special day. Not just did she do a fantastic job on our wedding day but moreover gave me the safety of working with her and giving us a helping hand while our lives turned upside down a few weeks before the wedding. Finding her from abroad, while still living in a different country, she managed to make working with her oh so easy. I do recommend her without any hesitation to anyone that wants to keep their memories locked up.

Isa & Jordan

Wedding Photography Across The Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful places in the UK to get married, and after photographing weddings here for years, I still get excited every time I drive through those winding country roads.

From luxury manor houses and elegant country estates to relaxed barn venues and intimate village celebrations, every wedding in the Cotswolds feels completely unique. Whether you're planning a wedding at Kingscote Barn, Cripps Barn, Hyde House, Lapstone Barn, Caswell House, Euridge Manor or a hidden countryside venue, my approach remains exactly the same.

I focus on real moments.

The tears during your vows. The hugs from grandparents. The champagne spray after the ceremony. The laughter during speeches. The questionable dance moves later in the evening.

My style is natural, documentary and relaxed. I won't spend your wedding day pulling you away from your guests for endless photos or asking you to stand in awkward poses. Instead, I'll capture your day as it genuinely unfolds, creating photographs that feel authentic to you and your story.

I regularly photograph weddings throughout Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire and the wider Cotswolds region, working with couples who want beautiful photographs without feeling like they're on a photoshoot.

Years from now, I want you to look back at your gallery and remember exactly how your wedding felt.
