Sarah Nova Photography

a wedding photographer for the modern rebel

Hey there, wild child. This is my rallying call for you: Don't compromise on who you are or what you want.

Your love story isn't about pleasing everyone around you, so don't let your wedding be that way either.

Burn every of page of traditional wedding expectations that doesn't serve you, then keep the pages that do.

There's no two happily ever afters that look the same — this was a journey, not a moment.

It's the long road of shared growth, the secret language you share, the very real hard work you put in.

How can a photographer possibly capture all of that in one wonderful, gorgeous day?

Love is constant motion, but we're not here to rush. Take your time to be wholly present on your Big Day, to feel all the feelings with your friends and family, and to party with all the love in your heart. Photos like these can't be planned, only discovered. 

let's go at your pace.

Your wedding day isn't a game of pretending to be someone else: it's a day to be your most authentic self as loudly as possible. There are no standards you have to meet (even if Mom disagrees) or rules you can't break, and I prioritize seeing you beyond a photo checklist, so that you look like you.

This is not a game.

This is your era.

This isn't Prom 2.0: You're a whole vibe, babe. 

I'm not here to make you look like everyone else. I'm here to guide you with compassion and an open heart, to help you tell the story of your day with gorgeous honesty and careful vulnerability.

I'm a documentary photographer with an editorial edge and a rebel attitude, and I'm here to celebrate you.

Get comfortable, because you're gonna love feeling like a glamorous rockstar.

"Sarah captured our wedding so beautifully and has such a knack for making us all feel so composed and ready to give our best. I’m so so so happy that she was the one to capture our beautiful day."

I got into wedding photography because there's just literally nothing else like being a part of your Best Day Ever.

Living a life of love stories means I get to be that sappy friend all the time, giving you watery eyes over the silliest details about your journey together.

But capturing a celebration of love with all of its fleeting moments is real work and commitment in the highest of high pressure situations, right?

I take it very seriously.

Getting here has also been a journey
of my own over the years, and it's why
I have the approach I do.
