let's get to know each other

Self-Proclaimed Nerd, Lover of Corny Jokes and Spontaneous Dance Parties
Hello lovely, I’m Sarah! I’m so glad you’re here and can’t wait for us to get to know each other a bit better! I love solving puzzles, watching random documentaries, and snuggling up with a good book. And while I've spent 14 years documenting wedding days with Ben I still get butterflies during every first look.
Our little guy Oliver is my favorite, red velvet cupcakes are my weakness, and I get far too much joy out of creating a good to-do list.
about sarah & Ben Photography
I truly love our job because I’m a hopeless romantic at heart.
Knowing that I get to preserve love stories for a living is the most humbling privilege, which may be why I burst into happy tears at the site of grandparents holding hands. (Honestly though, what is cuter?!)
The Notebook is a staple when I’m feeling sappy and I truly believe that love is all you need.
Well that, and maybe a vanilla latte or two ;)
What Sarah Loves About Ben
the way he reads to me before bed
His ability to make me really, truly laugh
That he never says no to Chick-Fil-A
He’s the best chauffeur and navigator
That he’s always coming up with new ways to surprise me
How excited he gets about classic movies
His confidence every time we explore a new place
He doesn’t mind my plethora of bad jokes
How sweetly he dotes on our son

Believes That Life is Better When You Love the One You're With
Hey there, I’m Ben! Most don’t know this, but I was born in New Zealand and raised in Scotland, and even though I don’t own a kilt I can still do a mean Sean Connery impression when necessary. I love to travel, especially with Sarah and Ollie by my side, and a world cruise is on my bucket list.
My love of photography began through an obsession with classic film, and I love capturing real life moments that look like they could be straight out of a movie.
I'd wear a 3 piece suit like Don Draper every day if dry cleaning wasn't so expensive.
When it comes to my favorites, I think Paris is the greatest city in the world and my best steps are taken in Cole Haans.
I choose Apple over PC, Coke over Pepsi, and will never say no to chicken and waffles or cheesecake. And if you have both? Then we’re obviously meant to be friends.
What Ben Loves About Sarah
her infectious energy
the sound of her genuine laugh
Her sporadic moments of randomness
She is the queen of TripAdvisor
Her adventurous side
How she’s never afraid to tell the truth
She’s still the girl I fell in love with back in 2005
how she makes our son laugh
Her unfailing love of love
There’s something so perfect about the timeless fashion combined with the quirky playfulness of all things Spade (both Kate and Jack). Give us all the pretty things and witty words!
Kate Spade
This little lady has quite a few nicknames (Bean, Char, and Chach to name a few) and even though she’s the smallest member of our household she has the biggest personality! The only thing she loves more than cuddling on the couch is whipped cream straight outta the can.
Charlotte the Malchi
This city has a giant piece of our hearts, and every time we visit we can’t help but fall more in love (both with it and each other). We could live a thousand lifetimes here and never do the same thing twice. Except for eating crepes, which can obviously never happen enough!
Paris
We’re pretty positive there are few things better than spending a day at the happiest place on earth, surrounded by the most epic of love stories and the most delicious of snacks (why do Mickey shaped things just taste better?!)
Disney World
We love creating clean, timeless imagery, and one of our favorite places to find inspiration is through classic film. On a Friday night you can find us at home on the sofa in our finest pjs, with a giant bowl of popcorn and a black and white movie flickering on the screen.
The Criterion Collection
Seeing the world together is one of our most favorite things about this little life of ours. And whether we’re exploring a giant city in Europe or a forest in Alaska, we’re just happy to be adventuring side by side.
Traveling
The two of us met going to school for theater in 2005, so it’s no surprise it still holds a big place in our hearts. Fridays in our office are officially known as “Broadway Day” but we’ll challenge you to a Hamilton rap battle any day of the week!
Theater
Ben first fell in love with National Parks when he worked as a Ranger in college (pine cone belt and all) and he quickly passed his love of them onto Sarah. Now we adventure into the parks any chance we get, and we’ve got the magnet collection to prove it.
National Parks
In August of 2018 our lives changed in the best of ways, when Oliver entered the world. It was a long journey for us to become parents but oh man was it worth the wait! Life is just plain better with this little man by our sides, and we love that he's such a perfect mix of the two of us.
Oliver
Classic fashion never goes out of style, and we think it’s for a pretty good reason. We never leave the house without our Ray Ban sunnies, and between the two of us we have a pair for every day of the week!
