Howard County Courthouse Wedding

On a warm overcast day, a slight breeze hit just right as I walked up to this sweet couple’s Howard County Courthouse Wedding. The towering glass windows of the building offer a backdrop more appealing (in my opinion), than the surrounding county’s courthouse buildings. There’s just something wide open space that really draws a person in visually to a building.

My brother is an architect, so I think I’ve now been trained to see the open space around objects. We were a SIMS family, competing for time at the computer as youths. Hours spent building imaginary homes has (hilariously enough) inspired moments in our careers!

On this day at the Howard County Courthouse in Ellicott City, I searched for the open space. We took our time out front as family gathered, slowly moseying inside. You can’t take photos in the initial waiting area for courthouse weddings, so we chatted and talked about local joints we all like to frequent.

The courthouse in Howard City boasts windows for that sweet, natural light, and greenery nearby! These two opted to head back to their favorite park so that the furry member of their family could join the fun! Maryland court weddings need not be boring, stifled or confined to the walls of the legal system. We spent 30 minutes walking around the lake, stopping for photos and chatting, picking up a lil dog poo, too! When working with me, you’ll always get the picturesque alongside the true and real-time…I believe these are the moments we’ll enjoy looking back on most!

"Sarah is an extremely talented photographer. Not only are her skills phenomenal, but Sarah is an authentic and good soul all around. We absolutely loved having her as our photographer for our very intimate wedding. All our guests loved her too! I couldn't recommend Sarah enough. We found her by chance (I happened to follow her on Instagram per the recommendation of someone, but cant remember who). I always loved the pictures she would post and when we started looking for a photographer I thought of her and we reached out. I am so happy our paths crossed and Sarah was the person to document such a meaningful and magical day for us."

"All our guests loved her too!"

Sarah is wonderful! It's not just that she takes beautiful photos (which she obviously does!) - she is wonderfully communicative, sharp as a tack, and flexible. I had a delightful headshot/branding session with her.

I also coordinated a wedding where Sarah was the photographer and she was INCREDIBLE. A great wedding photographer requires stamina, a generous spirit, a head on a swivel, and a great eye for candid moments. She captured the spirit of the day in gorgeous images. The happy couple was so pleased!

You should hire her. Trust me on this. You should totally hire her.

"...Sarah went above and beyond our expectations. She spent ample time talking with me about my vision of the day, provided a detailed itinerary to help me stay organized, and was a listening ear when I needed practical wedding advice. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine nature helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. In addition, we are delighted with Sarah’s technical qualities as a photographer - her sense of mise-en-scène, attention to detail, and her remarkable ability to capture poignant and symbolic moments in an inter-cultural, inter-racial, pandemic wedding."

"Sarah went above and beyond our expectations..."

"She made everything easy and is warm and kind..."

"Beyond being a good photographer, Sarah truly works to make her clients feel comfortable and special during her sessions. She is incredibly personable and there were never any awkward, empty moments during our session! My fiancee and I were truly in the moment and Sarah allowed us to have candid, special moments together while she captured them for us to remember forever...Our day was stress-free thanks to her detailed planning...I absolutely recommend Sarah for anyone and everyone. We are forever thankful for her openness and hard work."

"Sarah creates a fun, creative, and safe environment that brings out the very best you to photograph. I had a great time in my headshot session with her and I ended up with beautiful photos (that actually look like me) I would be proud to bring into any audition room. 10/10 would recommend!"
