There is something so natural and fresh about Sarah’s wedding photography. Heading up Photography by Sarah J and hailing from country Victoria, Sarah travels to Tasmania, NT, and SA as well as Asia, NZ, and Europe capturing the particular essence that makes each wedding day unique.

The way the sunlight falls on the floor, cobwebs, gestures that are seemingly unimportant but yet, oh so important, helping hands  – all tell the story of the day and as Sarah says, she “secretly gather(s) all of these moments in the right way and present(s) them to you so you can relive your day again and again!” That’s what we love about photography – it’s all there – preserved for the future!

We asked Sarah from Photography by Sarah J five questions in five minutes:

What is the most important piece of advice you can give to engaged couples?

Do it your way! It’s a great time to be alive as far as weddings go. I see lots of couples full of excitement about what they want to do for their weddings and how they plan on making it their own. Things are so different now, 10 years ago all the traditions were still big. Basically all of that has gone out the window and couples who are brave enough have started making their wedding suit them rather than the other way around.

Tell us about a hidden talent you have?

Scootering? I have a kick scooter I like to take for a spin when I can, it’s great! I think for an adult on a scooter I do pretty well.

As a vendor, what excites you about the wedding day?

This kind of goes hand in hand with the first question, but when I get to a wedding, and as the day unfolds seeing how the couple have chosen to create their special day with their favourite people. Capturing that is the best! I feel like I’m being let in on something really special because I am!

What are you known for?

Outside of photo-taking? Probably for my dry sense of humour.

If you could choose a song to play for the rest of your life what would it be?

Heck! This is a tough one! Probably Nightsong by Emma Louise, I never get sick of listening to her Head vs Heart album.
