I’ve always been inexplicably drawn towards beautiful things.
Open fields at sunsets. Mountains capped with sparkling snow. The depth of emotion on your face as you walk towards your beloved.
I chose to become a destination wedding photographer because love - true, deep, unconditional, committed love - is the most beautiful thing on this earth.
I chose photography because nothing beats heartfelt vows spoken in front of crashing waves on the shores of California, above the bustling streets of London, or under the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Love and travel are like pinot noir and gruyere… the absolute perfect pairing.
So pour yourself a glass of wine and start celebrating. You’re getting married, and unless I’m wrong (and I rarely am), you just found yourself a wedding photographer.
Hey, friends! I’m Sarah.
I am a destination wedding photographer based in Nashville, Tennessee, and ready to go wherever your love takes you.
I’m an eternal romantic with a traveler’s soul and a desire to find joy in the tiniest pieces of day-to-day life.
After photographing over 150 weddings, I’ve learned that photography has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
So I’m not here to tell you how to plan your wedding. I’m not going to tell you what to wear, where to get married, or the best songs to dance to. I’m here to document your story, one photograph at a time.
Because when it comes to weddings, I have one very strict rule: it is about you.
As a destination wedding photographer, it is my honor and privilege to follow you around the world, documenting the momentous occasion that is your wedding!
My job is to curate an intentional gallery of images that tells your story. My goal is to create a visual time capsule that lets you remember and re-experience the joy of your wedding day for years to come.
You can tell she puts so much time, effort, and care into ensuring her couples are well taken care of.
It is so refreshing to see someone so passionate and in love with what they do!
What I love most about Sarah is how much she genuinely loves her job.
Picking a photographer was the most important decision for me, and I was relieved when I came across Fox and Fig.
Even though we lived in different states, Sarah immediately made us feel comfortable and excited and yet calm. Sarah and her second shooter took us to a second location to shoot pictures during our wedding, which we were OBSESSED with, and made us feel like rockstars. Our timeline and plans changed multiple times on our wedding day, but nothing could phase Sarah and her team. I would choose Fox and Fig over and over again!!
I knew we were in good hands.

My Approach
Gently Guided, Documentary-Style Wedding Photography
I call myself a hybrid wedding photographer because I shoot with film and digital cameras. But “hybrid” is a good way to explain how I capture your day.
I walk that line between jaw-dropping editorial images and the sneaky “how did you even get this shot” unposed moments. Because there, in the delicate balance, your story unfolds.
The Fox & Fig Philosophy
Intentionality
This is it! Your wedding day only happens once, and I don’t want you to miss a moment of it! I am intentional about my placement during your wedding ceremony and reception to make sure I capture everything - but I am also intentional about communicating with you!
You will never have to stand awkwardly in front of the camera, wondering what to do with your hands. You will never have to guess where you should stand. I will intentionally pose you with elegance and grace so you can look back and say, “Dang, we look good!” (Because you do!)
Authenticity
Your wedding photos should feel like you. When I look through my lens, I am looking for moments that show me who you are. I’m looking for the stolen glances, the small exchanges, and the soft touches that tell your love story.
I’m not at your wedding to take trendy photos. I am not there to create a cool Instagram post. I am there so that you, twenty years from now, can look at these photos and remember how you felt. The happy tears. The laughter. The embarrassing dance moves. All of it.
You put an incredible amount of work into making your wedding day beautiful. Every flower, every piece of jewelry, and even the perfume you wear will come together to create a stunning experience. Your wedding photos will be no different.
I view wedding photography as an art form. I’m not thinking of a digital gallery; I’m thinking of a coffee table album and a gallery wall. Your wedding photography should evoke the same emotion in you as your favorite work of art. It should leave you breathless.
Artistry
The person behind the "cheers, friends!"
When I put the camera down . . .
I like to get my hands dirty.
I live and work on the family farm! My mom & I are the most hands-on people (yep, two women!) in raising a small, sustainable beef cattle herd!
Going once, going twice…
I am a licensed TN auctioneer (you know, those people who talk REALLY fast.). It's the family business, and I actually work part-time helping with web work, marketing, advertising, and live auctions!
MY TBR Is EVER GRowing.
I am an avid reader and my physical and Kindle TBR ('to be read' list, for the non-readers in the crowd) are both forever evolving. Have a good read you can't get out of your head?! I want to hear about it - over coffee, of course.
My not-so-guilty pleasures:
“How you doin’?”
Emily in Paris. Bridgerton, or FRIENDS are my absolute favorite shows to have in the background when I'm editing.
You had me at Merlot…
I love a good glass of wine. I’m not quite at the swirl-and-sniff level, but my palette is slowly developing!
If you want me to talk for hours:
COWS.
I love cows. I mean, who doesn’t? I live and work on the farm and everyone goes wild when I post an adorable calf photo to my Instagram.
My dogs.
I have two terriers and a French bulldog, and they probably eat better than I do.
