BANff Wedding Photographer

Say good-bye to forced and cheesy posed photos! This girl doesn’t do that!

Weddings

Raw, Organic, Romantic, Unforgettable

Based in Calgary, I’m perfectly positioned to capture the beauty of mountain, farm, and city soirées. I specialize in a documentary approach to wedding photography – imagine storytelling infused with artistic visuals and just the right amount of direction.

My inspiration comes from you – your vibe, connection, and the genuine emotions of your special day.

I aim for a timeless yet elevated edit, blending authenticity with my unique artistic flair.

You’ll often find me in the breathtaking Canadian Rockies: Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise, Kananaskis and Emerald Lake – or jet-setting around the globe to tropical destinations and my favourite European gems!

Explore the heartfelt love stories of my amazing past couples to see the memories of their days unfold. And don’t forget to inquire about availability and details – I can’t wait to hear your story!

“My wife and I are beyond happy with having Sarah for our photographer. From our engagement photos to our reception, Sarah was always happy to go along with the weird ideas we had, and took so many great shots that we have today. Sarah went above and beyond, when she got stung by several wasps, and fought through the pain for our wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Sarah was wonderful and professional to work with, and really rolled with the punches. We had a custom ceremony with Hindu and Celtic wedding rituals mixed in together and it was wonderful working with someone who was comfortable with all our nontraditional choices and familiar with all the hidden gem photo locations in the Rockies. She also put us at ease with her personality and quips and made the process of getting photographed for hours much more enjoyable for us as a pair of introverts!”

Chitra + Jordan

“We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! From the moment we found Sarah’s website, we knew we had to contact her. Her warm demeanor made us feel instantly comfortable, and her expertise in guiding us through Azuridge for perfect shots was invaluable. Sarah’s attention to detail, adaptability, and ability to adjust to unexpected moments made all the difference. We were blown away by how beautifully she captured our wedding day in such an authentic and meaningful way. Thank you, Sarah!”

Marica + Leo

“When searching for a banff wedding photographer, we were thrilled to discover Sarah’s website. Her portfolio and editing style were exactly what we envisioned – stunning, Vogue-like shots with the perfect balance of candid moments. We dreamed of having photos that made us feel on top of the world, but as non-hikers, we weren’t sure how to make that happen. Thanks to Sarah’s expertise, she made it a reality, and we’re forever grateful for her guidance in capturing our dream wedding day.”

Please note I only take on a limited number of Weddings and Elopements each year and cant hold dates without the signed paperwork and 50% retainer to reserve your day. Wedding season books up fast to don’t wait to long to get in touch.

As a Banff wedding photographer, I take on a limited number of weddings each year to give every couple the experience they deserve.

Weddings in the Canadian Rockies and Calgary typically book 6 months to 2 years in advance. Banff weekend dates, long weekends, and summer months fill up faster due to the high volume of destination weddings in the area.

European destination weddings usually book 6 months to 1 year ahead, while multi-day celebrations often reserve their dates 1 to 2 years in advance.

Tropical destination weddings typically book around 13 months out to avoid hurricane season and secure resort availability.
Elopements tend to be more flexible and can be booked anywhere from one week to a year out.

All bookings are first-come, first-booked. Your date is officially reserved once your retainer and paperwork are received.

Occasionally, I book off dates for camping or other personal plans, and those can change. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for last-minute availability.

Yes!! My bags are already packed! Feel free to inquire on the specifics of International & Destination Wedding investment. All Destination Weddings are by custom quote based on location and amount of coverage desired and include all travel fees!
My favourite elopement was in St. Lucia – sun, sand, a rain-forest. What more could you want?

Many of my couples order their heirloom Wedding albums shortly after their wedding (you can even pre-order yours). You’ll have the opportunity to select your favourite images for the album design through your online gallery. Once chosen, I’ll create a custom design in-house, showcasing your selected images. The final design is then professionally printed by a lab I’ve trusted for over a decade. These albums are handmade and printed with the highest quality inks and papers, ensuring they are made to last a lifetime!
