Hello,

— I’m Sarah

Sarah Corbett, a St. Louis, MO wedding photographer, is a woman with curly hair in a bun, wearing a coral-colored button-up shirt and black pants, standing outdoors among green bushes, holding a camera.

Photographer, storyteller, and someone who deeply cares how this day unfolds for you.

I believe your wedding day should be lived, not performed, and I believe the best photos are made when you are immersed in the moment, not even thinking about the camera.

In my experience of documenting over 400 weddings, I know when to gently guide, and when to step back and let a moment unfold.

I am here to help you feel supported, and make sure you always remember the love of this incredible day.

Meet Sarah + Jeremy

And this is Jeremy!

My partner in crime, love of my life, and insanely talented photographer. We’ve been documenting weddings for over a decade, and we are highly attuned to the rhythms and flow of a wedding day. We bring a positive, grounding presence and treat your family and friends as our own.

We value: presence over performance

We believe: a wedding is a sacred gathering

We know: that one day photos are all that is left

We deeply care about: how this day feels for you

Our highest priority: preserving your legacy

every tear, and made us feel completely at ease.

We can’t imagine our day without them!”
