Historic cobblestone street lined with stone buildings and church spires in Scotland.

Coming from the US to Scotland for a trip and planning an engagement at the same time was super stressful! I am SO GLAD that I found Sarah who was able to help me make sure that the engagement went perfectly! She was very discreet which helped me to keep the surprise for my fiance & she was even able to help me find the perfect spot to pop the question. Having Sarah there for that moment was priceless and I am so happy I found her!

Hiring Sarah to shoot our engagement photos was the best decision of our Edinburgh trip. Her images are full of her unmistakable personal style. The landscapes in her photos look even more expansive and beautiful than they did in real life, and she highlighted my wife’s best features perfectly. My family and I are thrilled with the results. On top of that, Sarah is incredibly nice and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Sarah is incredible. We traveled from the US to Edinburgh for our engagement. Everything was seamless and so well executed. The photos captured the moment perfectly, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Such a special experience and memory. Highly recommend!

Sarah is a delightful individual who immediately made us feel comfortable. She helped create incredible memories and captured truly magical moments in time that my Fiancée and I will cherish forever. I would not hesitate to go to her in the future if I needed photos done, and I highly recommend her service.

Dramatic landscape with couple silhouetted against rocky hillside and cloudy sky.

Sarah (a fellow Canadian) took our engagement photos and we couldn’t be happier with them. They are simple and dream-like and they capture our personalities so well. They’re edited so beautifully and cinematically. Sarah is such a joy to work with as well, as she made it feel easy, comfortable, and fun, and the photos represent that. She is also just simply a lovely person. Very much recommend!

Talia + ross

Romantic moments captured between couple in lush garden setting.

Thank you so much for capturing our engagement celebration so beautifully! We’re absolutely in love with the photos – every shot is full of emotion, joy, and the magic of that special day.  Your talent, warmth, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease – and it shows in every picture.


We can highly recommend Sarah as a lovingly caring, professional photographer. Good communication before and after the shoot. Couldn't imagine any better.
