hey hi hello! My name is Sabrina! I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Central Alabama. My photography journey didn't start like most. I've always loved taking photos but never thought of it as a possible career path until 2019. I went from pre-med and working in healthcare to dropping out and pursuing photography full-time. Big change! In my free time, you can find me spoiling my pup, Aspen, PC gaming, reading, cooking, doing yoga, and listening to music (obsessively, lol). I can't wait to work with you!!

Take this as your sign to hire Sabrina as your photographer! Between documenting our engagement session and the day of our wedding, Sabrina did an excellent job at capturing our love and personalities. Sabrina was calm, cool and collected throughout the process, and eased any anxieties we had. Sabrina did great at capturing all the right angles as well as, often helping me fix the train of my dress and straightening the guys boutonnieres. Sabrina went the extra mile and even found my Pinterest board of wedding ideas and made sure to parallel some inspo pics I had. I can't recommend Sabrina enough and can't wait to see what the future has in store for Blooming Heart Photography.

Sabrina is the best. She's caring, easy-going, and made our day not only easier on us, but fun and special at the same time. She assisted both wedding parties with things outside photography, such as boutonnieres, ties, and keeping the day organized, etc. Outside of that, I truly believe she is one of the best photographers. Every one of her photos tells a story. Every one of her photos is composed, framed, and edited to capture the most special moments in life. There's no other photographer in the world that I would recommend more than Sabrina!

If I did the wedding all over, hiring Sabrina is something I would do again and again. We’ve already decided to drive to Michigan for future maternity shoots just so she can do them! Sabrina is extremely knowledgeable and personable, every family photo was beautiful (which is hard to do) and all of our posed photos look natural. I was surprised to see the number of candids she captured and it made our album that much more special; to see how we were really feeling and what we were really doing. Her editing style is absolutely gorgeous to the point it looks like true art. Thank you Sabrina!! Can’t wait to see you again!

Sabrina is hands down the absolute best!! I got married in July 2023 and from beginning to end of working together, I was over the moon. Sabrina communicates kindly and efficiently. She is respectful and very clear about her values of acceptance and sustainability. She customized a package to fit our needs, and got to know us as a couple before she took any photos. My husband and I were awkward and not used to being in front of the camera, but from our engagement shoot to the wedding day she made us both feel so comfortable and I felt beautiful and special. Sabrina handled photographing our dog with us beautifully. She had great prompts to get us to take photos, did beautiful artistic movement shots, and made us laugh throughout our wedding day. She also delivered the most gorgeously designed wedding photo book. I have been amazed at every step and I want to shout it from the rooftops how amazing she is as a person, and as a photographer! You will not regret booking her!

If you need a sign on picking the perfect photographer - this is it!! I don’t even know where to start. Sabrina did such an incredible job the whole day of our wedding and all of the weeks of preparation leading up to it. She has such a calm, collected, and professional demeanor which was a very welcome addition to our super chaotic wedding party. She worked flawlessly with our other vendors and her communication and organizational skills really shone through throughout the whole day to get the best photos possible. My husband and I aren’t the best photo-takers but Sabrina really helped get us comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos are absolutely stunning and I am completely obsessed with how just the previews have turned out. I cannot recommend Blooming Heart Photography enough. She checked every single box I had for our wedding pictures but also went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of as well on the day of. She truly is a gem!

My husband and I can not express how grateful we are for working with Sabrina. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her editing style is simply beautiful. She kept in touch with us throughout the months leading up to our wedding day, was always available to answer questions and even helped with timeline planning. Days after our wedding my husband and I still continue to talk about how amazing Sabrina was and we felt that we couldn’t have hired a better photographer to capture every aspect of our day. She was our hype girl and truly made us feel so special. We are very excited to see the rest of our gallery and appreciate every second of time and energy that goes into completing it. We will 100% be booking with her in the future. Sabrina is so professional, kind and fun to be around. Highly, highly recommend her!

Absolutely amazing….like hire her now!
We hired Sabrina for our engagement and wedding photos and I have been so happy with the photos! Sabrina really went above and beyond and she has such a special gift! She even helped with the guys boutonnières and my dress bustle, which is obviously such a kind thing for her to offer day of. I don’t take many pictures and didn’t have much direction for what I wanted but she just did her thing and the pictures have been so beautiful! Looking forward to having those memories forever! Highly recommend!

Sabrina is a wonderful, talented wedding photographer! She did both our engagement and wedding photos, and both sessions with her were fun and incredibly efficient. Her editing style is beautiful, and she was very helpful with suggestions for how to fit all of the photos we wanted into our wedding day timeline. Hire her!

Do NOT hesitate to book Blooming Heart Photography! She was fabulous!!! I struggled the most with deciding on a photographer and I’m so happy we picked Sabrina. We’ve only gotten back a sneak peek so far, but I’m already over the moon with the results! Communication prior to the wedding was professional and prompt. Sabrina had many great photo ideas but was also open to our ideas as well. She helped us pick the perfect photo location (we had a snow storm on our wedding day!) and I couldn’t be happier with it. We ended up taking our photos outside in the snow, which I was nervous to do, but I am so happy we took her suggestion to do so. I couldn’t recommend her work more! 10/10!

Sabrina was awesome to work with! She was so helpful during planning; she answered all my questions quickly and helped me review my timeline. We had to reschedule due to covid, and she was very accommodating during that unknown time.
We love our engagement and wedding photos so much! She always suggested poses in a way that didn’t seem forced, so all of of photos genuinely captured our day perfectly. We received a lot of sneak peak photos shortly after our wedding which was so appreciated while we waited for the rest of our photos. I definitely recommend Sabrina for anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

It is hard to put into words how appreciative we are of Sabrina. She made our big day so fun and easy and as added bonus she was great at working with our crazy wedding party and even had music and a speaker ready to go to take pictures in the chilly November weather much more bearable! She is such a talented and incredible photographer. She got our preview back to us in less than 5 days and I'm in awe of how they turned out. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Sabrina was absolutely amazing. We were blown away by our engagement pictures so we knew that the wedding pictures would be nothing short of amazing. When we received those back, we were so impressed. We got a second shooter and glad we did. We had lots of intimate and funny candids that wouldn't have been captured.

Sabrina did a wonderful job taking our engagement and wedding photos. When we had questions, she always got back to us in a timely manner. We wanted a photographer who was willing to adventure with us and Sabrina went above and beyond, traveling 9 hours to our wedding! She made us feel comfortable and had great ideas to get amazing shots. She also listened to and was willing to try our photo ideas. About a week after our wedding, she sent us a huge preview album - we loved every single shot! We received our entire gallery very quickly, about a month after our wedding. We are so happy with how she captured our day - we have a new favorite photo every time we look at them! We had many comments from our guests about how fun our photographers were and how beautiful the photos turned out. I highly recommend Blooming Heart Photography!

I do not have enough words to describe how professional and amazing Sabrina was. We got lucky and she happened to have a cancelation due to Covid and were able to snag her just about a month before our wedding date. She was timely with her responses and was very helpful with helping me plan photos. She had us fill out a questionnaire that was incredibly in depth and really helped her get the vision we were going for. On our wedding date she arrived on time, and right away went to work taking photos of the venue while she waited for us to finish up and be able to start with photos. She was respectful of all the Covid rules which was a huge thing for us. Her photo ideas were amazing as she found more and more ways to shoot ideas and all of them turned out beautiful. She helped us pull off a few photo ideas we had which I couldnt have asked for anything better. When it came time to family photos after the wedding she was quick and very attentive. I loved that she moved quick, but in a good way. It made it so we had more time for a few other fun photos. She made sure to capture alot of candid moments for us and really show the fun and love of the day. When we booked her she had quoted us to get out photos back at about the 8 week mark due to several 3 wedding weekends before us. We ended up getting them back just a little over 4 weeks after our wedding which just made us that much happier. You can tell that each photo was carefully looked at and that she really took her time. She was very helpful in telling us what she did and made sure we loved them. She offered to change photos for us if we didnt like the color settings and told us to let her know if any wanted to be made black and white. She really puts her time and effort into the photos that she take and it really shows. She was alot of fun to work with and I would 100% recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer. I know when we get ready to do family photos we will be asking her to return. Thank you Sabrina for everything you did to really make our day even more special!!!

Sabrina was amazing to work with. She was friendly and went above and beyond what we were wanting. She always had her eye out for a good opportunity for pictures. During the ceremony she caught every single moment and blended in so she wasn’t at all distracting. She’s wildly talented and I’m so happy we used her for our wedding. I can’t recommend her enough.

Sabrina did our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with the results! Due to the pandemic, we had to completely cancel our traditional wedding and have a 6 person quarantine-style house wedding instead. Sabrina was understanding of the situation and was able to adjust to our ever-changing plans. Needless to say, it was a disappointing and stressful situation but having a gifted photographer like Sabrina made it so much better! She was able to capture our personalities perfectly by getting some quirky quarantine style shots, while also getting plenty of traditional wedding style shots. We will forever cherish these photos! Not only is Sabrina amazing at what she does, she is extremely sweet, genuine, thoughtful, dependable and punctual. We are so glad we hired her and we are customers for life <3

Sabrina was so easy to work with for our engagement session. She was friendly, receptive, and totally willing to work with two people who aren’t super comfortable in front of the camera. She was very quick to respond to all of my messages in planning our session. We were absolutely ecstatic when we received our photo gallery. Her eye for the perfect photos was amazing and her artistic vision was clear. We can’t wait to work with her again on our wedding day!
