I’m all about capturing those authentic & candid shots vs the forced & posed shots. It’s my heart to capture you completely in your element & for you to be yourself.

We could not be happier with our experience working with Sara for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our vision. On the big day, she blended seamlessly into the background, capturing every moment so naturally and beautifully that we barely noticed the camera.

The photos are absolutely beautiful and full of life. Sara has a true gift for capturing not just images, but feelings. Every shot tells a story, and looking through our album feels like reliving the entire day.

Beyond her talent, she was a calming presence during a hectic time, and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and confident. We’re so grateful to have had her be part of our day, and we’ll treasure these photos forever.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who’s not only incredibly skilled but also warm, reliable, and a joy to work with—look no further. The Velvet Bee is the real deal.
