Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
I’m Sara, a Charlotte wedding photographer with over a decade of experience documenting weddings with intention, care, and heart.
I work best with couples who value trust, guidance, and a calm, experienced presence on their wedding day. From helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera to making sure your timeline flows smoothly, my goal is for you to feel fully taken care of before, during, and after your wedding.
My approach is a balance of storytelling and thoughtful direction. I focus on capturing genuine, emotional moments as they naturally unfold, while also ensuring the traditional images you’ll cherish for years.. the ones with family, the ones that feel timeless and are never overlooked.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will support you, guide you, and document your day in a way that feels authentic and lasting, I’d love to connect.

Communication was always smooth and stress-free, and she was incredibly flexible on the wedding day, adapting to everything with grace.

It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for Sara and the gift she gave us on our wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she brought a sense of calm, warmth, and gen...
uine care that made us feel so seen and so understood.
What she captured wasn’t just images — it was us. Our love, our families, the quiet in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Every photo feels alive, filled with emotion, and so deeply true to who we are. When we look through our album, we don’t just remember the day… we feel it all over again.
Sara has a rare talent — not just for photography, but for connection. She noticed the things that mattered, preserved the moments that slipped by too quickly, and gave us something we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
To say she did an amazing job doesn’t even begin to cover it. We are forever grateful for her heart, her artistry, and the way she poured so much love into capturing our story.

Sara is an absolute angel!! From the moment I spoke to Sara on the phone in 2021 for my wedding in 2023 she was the absolute best. She was always there to answer my millions of que...
stions in a timely manner, wanted to know about me and my family, and was so personal on all levels. Sara did both my rehearsal dinner as well as my wedding day.
Sarah’s photos are BREATHTAKING, so real, authentic, true to color. My favorite thing was that it was authentic, and not too posed, which is what I wanted most.
Picking vendors are hard, but picking Sara is a no brainer. Do yourself a favor and hire the best there is, I promise you, she will add so much joy and peace to your wedding day!

you’re a nervous wreck on your wedding day. As she told me, the photographer is the vendor by your side the whole wedding day, so it helps to like them! We certainly liked Sara and loved that her husband is her shooting partner. Highly recommend!

, and a pleasure to be around. Sara did our engagement shots and made us feel super comfortable and fixed my hair and dress when it was out of place. Wedding days are stressful but as soon as Sara showed up at our door she put us all at ease. My bridesmaids could not stop commenting how sweet and personable she was. A few even shared how they wished their photographer at their wedding showed as much care and detail as Sara did. Being that your photographer is with ALL day, it’s important to pick someone that you feel comfortable being around. Our photos came out amazing and artistic. Sara was open to any ideas we had for poses but also was great about directing us and getting the natural light just right. She is such a great communicator and was sure to call/text/email prior to our wedding to check on all the details. See Through Photography hold our absolute highest and most sincere recommendation.

was going to be a stressful day turned out to be a lot less than I imagined thanks to her detailed planning, prompt communication, and positive attitude. And not to mention the pictures!!! A whole album of hundreds of pictures making it really hard to pick favorites because they all turned out beautiful.
I would recommend See Through Photography to anyone and I will continue to use her for all of my life events in the future.!

t. Sara went above and beyond in every aspect. We used her for our engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and wedding day. My husband has told me multiple times that he can’t wait to take pictures with Sara again! Sara knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and less awkward behind the camera. We are absolutely in love with our photos and plan to use her again in the future! As a COVID bride already stressed with the unknown and constant changes, Sara was always calm and willing to make adjustments. Aside from our venue, she was the first vendor we booked and I could not recommend her enough. Working with her was the best decision ever. She is not only an amazing photographer but the kindest human that will fill your day with joy. I promise you will not regret hiring Sara!

other forever she was very easy to talk to and listen to all my questions. 1st We had our engagement session at my parents farm and she was all for it when I mentioned it. 2nd I had wanted my bridal portraits to be in the N.C mountains and when i asked Sara if that was something she would be able to do she was all on board for a trip to the mountains and the pictures turned out AMAZING! 3rd We had our wedding on my parents farm and they were both amazing! From being super organized with all the notes of shots we wanted to get throughout the whole day, being so patient, getting everyone together without being rude to anyone, they were there all day and my was it a long day but they never once complained, were never rude to anyone and was there to lend a helping hand with anything we may have needed outside of photos. I would highly suggest them to anyone! We hope to use them for other photography needs in the future.

We are so thankful we found Sara, will cherish these photos forever!

Seriously, I couldn't recommend someone greater!

I had no doubt Sara would be a great photographer for our wedding but she definitely exceeded our expectations. We met on two different occasions before the wedding to make sure we...
were all on the same page and each interaction was laid back & easy. Not only is she good at communicating but she is so personable, professional & just good at what she does. Getting family members in the right position for photos can't be fun, but she managed it so well & had a smile the entire time. Georgia & Randall were also wonderful at assisting Sara and also fun to be around. We are so pleased with our photo's and will definitely want to use Sara again in the future!!!

very moment was beautifully captured. She had the incredible ability of being right in the mix of things without being too intrusive to capture the perfect shot. She met with me from the start (over a year before my set wedding date) to get an idea of what I wanted, key moments I wanted captured, and what my style was. From there, she stayed in constant communication with me all the way up to my wedding day. My husband and I love our wedding photos and we will never be able to thank Sara enough for capturing moments we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend Sara enough to all brides on their big day!
