Relaxed, Natural Photography

Sarah Cook | Wedding Photographer & Coach

About Me

Hello,

I am Sarah, a wedding photographer based near Aberystwyth, Ceredigion. I have photographed weddings all over the UK for more than twenty years. My style of photography is natural and relaxed. I shoot a blend of documentary and editorial styles that tell the story of each wedding I photograph.

I like to spend time with you before the ‘big’ day, getting to know you and what makes you tick. Together we build a picture that helps me tap into your wedding vibe so that I can capture the true feelings and emotions of your wedding day.

Whether I am photographing a wedding day or coaching a wedding photographer who is just starting out in the business, I believe it is important that you feel I am the right fit for you. Therefore, I invite you to book a discovery call with me so we can have a chat.

Your day … Your vibe … My lens …

Why I Love Weddings

Wedding days are full of emotion, love and hope. As a wedding photographer I get to capture it all, from the quiet intimate moments to the full blown chaos.

Every wedding is a unique story unfolding in real time.

There is something magical about being entrusted to capture a wedding day for a couple.I don’t take that lightly. I document moments that will live on for generations – a father seeing his daughter in her dress for the first time, two people’s ‘forever’ promises, wedding guests sharing the joy. It is always an honour to be a part of this.

I love the connection I have with my couples, with their families and friends, and with the moment. Telling their unique story in a collection of images.

I guess not too many people can say, “I love my job”.

My photography journey began when I was an eighteen year old student of journalism. I was handed a 35mm camera and a roll of black and white film. My brief was simple, to tell a story in a single image. From the moment I held that camera I was hooked.

Over the years this love for photography has developed into something deeper. My photographs tell stories, they are my view of the world, they are how I express emotion without words. Whether I am shooting a wedding for a client or capturing abstract imagery, my photography is my voice.

“We just wanted to say thank you so much. We absolutely LOVE the photos, they’re exactly what I’d hoped for and really capture just how perfect the day was.”

Beyond the Lens

These days you can find me in beautiful West Wales. I live on a smallholding with my lovely partner, Dora my black lab, eleven sheep, two piggies and several chooks. It is a special place to come home to.

Although, I am now based near Aberystwyth, I have lived in and travelled to some amazing places over the years. Arizona holds a special place in my heart, it is the place where my technical skills as a photographer developed. I still miss that beautiful desert light.

I love nature and the countryside and when I am not busy on a commission or coaching, I can usually be found in West Wales walking on the beach or in the mountains. In the last few years I have enjoyed creating a catalogue of personal works. My personal photography work reflects a strong focus on Intentional Cameral Movement (ICM), abstract compositions and delicate flower photography.

A selection of my work is now available for purchase in my shop.
