Sadie approaches each wedding with an eye for truth and a heart for storytelling.

Her style is rooted in documentary and photojournalism. Capturing the day as it naturally unfolds, with a deep appreciation for authenticity and spontaneity. She offers gentle direction when a moment needs movement, but her true gift lies in noticing the quiet, in-between moments that often go unseen. She focuses on photographing people as they truly are, embracing the raw and candid moments that reflect joy, laughter, and even the quiet introspection of the day. Each image sadie creates is an exploration of emotions, from tears of joy to unguarded laughter. she strives to encapsulate the feelngs that make each wedding unique, ensuring that the essence of the day is preserved in every frame.

With a film-first approach, Sadie thoughtfully blends both film and digital formats, ensuring every couple’s story is preserved with richness and depth. Her use of Super8 film is always accompanied by a digital backup, so you can hear the memories as well.

Beyond the lens, Sadie finds peace in life’s quieter rhythms: morning coffee on the front porch with her dog Lulu, riding horses out West, long walks through nature with her husband Preston, and time spent with her people who feel like home.

Love comes in many shapes, and as a queer woman, she celebrates them all.
