Sarah Carter photography Full Description
Hello I'm Sarah I am a documentary wedding Photographer based near Peterborough. Of all the things I have ever done, writing a bio about myself seems to be the hardest. Where do you start? How far back do you go? I can photograph weddings all day long, tie stray shoelaces, wipe tears and find lost bridesmaids. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Talking about me, not so easy but here goes. I live in a little town in Lincolnshire not far from Cambridgeshire and Rutland borders. It’s not exactly the bright lights of London, but if you squint your eyes, the tractors could be black cabs. I have a husband, a son who is 9, a cat called Lola, 2 dogs and various stuffed toys that seem to be part of the family now. I am bottom of the pecking order. I like cake and wine. If there is no cake or wine its fine. I like tea too. I like to be creative, I like to travel, and I like a good book. I also love a murder documentary, the weirder the better. AT WEDDINGS At weddings I have been known to climb trees, balance on walls and lay on the floor. All in the name of a good photo. I have also cried at a few weddings and laughed at some awful jokes. If you want to know the one about the giraffe and the lion let me know! Normally I am out of sight, snapping away. A couple once told me, they thought I had gone home, only to find me on the dance floor photographing some questionable dance moves. I know where to be at what time and I can help make sure your day goes to plan. Weddings are my thing. I’ve got you. I am a collector of candid moments of your authentic love story. That’s what I do.

looking back with the biggest smiles

We first officially met Sarah at our pre-wedding shoot after we’d attended a previous wedding she was photographing. She is fun, creative and bubbly and we knew we’d booked the right person. Sarah made us feel comfortable despite us both being a bit shy in front of the camera and photographed some amazing moments that we will look back on with the biggest smiles. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, Sarah is absolutely the person you want! Xx

captured our day perfectly

We were so glad we were recommended Sarah to be our wedding photographer. From first speaking to Sarah I knew she was the one 🫣🙋🏼‍♀️. She made us feel completely at ease - when I was a bag of nerves at the beginning and then throughout the whole day - when the wedding actually began we hardly noticed her - however, she captured our day perfectly. We were thrilled with the shots she took and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to future bride and grooms ♥️ The perfect photographer [...]

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Wow I have a few. A Scottish castle winter wedding where it snowed and looked a lot like we stepped in to Narnia, A celebrity wedding where I was making cocktails with some very famous faces and my husband was dancing with his school boy celebrity crush and a Festival wedding where there was a rave until the early hours and I got to stay and party with my couple!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Documentary, candid, vivid, fun and elegant

What about your business are you most proud of?

Being shortlisted out of 15000 photographers to get to top 10 in British Photography awards and being invited to the Dorchester for a black tie event to celebrate, that was so much fun. Also being published numerous times in my favourite wedding magazine, oh and being on TV. That was hilarious!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Book the suppliers you instantly fall in love with. You deserve this! oh and on the day..Eat breakfast! don't go sipping champagne on an empty stomach. I had a beautiful bride spend her reception hugging the toilet as she didn't eat all day. She missed her own party.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

My favourite has to be the brides bouquet having family photos tucked in to the flowers. It was so special.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My typical process before the wedding is emails to say HELLO! Then phone calls make sure we both know what we are aiming for, get booked in, Sign contract and pay deposit and fill out a pretty cool questionnaire to find out loads about each other, go for a pre wedding shoot or at least a walk and a coffee so we are not strangers on the day. At the wedding I pretty much get ignored all day an I love it. I blend in and document your day as it happens. No awkward posing. Raw emotions, happy tears, ugly crying faces, belly laughing and everything in between

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I do tend to let each couple make their own magic when it comes to photos. I am a collector or authentic moments from your love story. It's all candid. Walking and giggling are prob my favourite.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

I had 4 groomsmen get naked once, not sure its original but it was pretty random for the fancy venue we were at. And it was cold so you can take from that what you will!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Go with it. We are not made of sugar we will get epic photos come rain or shine. If you are really worried, speak to your venue and make sure you have a rainy day plan. This will but your mind at ease. We can run out for photos when it stops raining.

Describe how you got into photography.

I was a model back when I was younger. I had always loved photography and eventually the other side of the camera was way more interesting. I used to co own a family photography studio until weddings became more and more popular. Now I can't imaging ever doing anything else. I am literally living the dream. I have the best job in the world (other than professional puppy stroker or holiday tester).
