The art of storytelling


It's all about the real moments of your life. Nothing more.


My approach is fluid. I capture the natural, unscripted moments of your day while also guiding portraits that feel relaxed, refined, and sometimes even a little cinematic. It’s about allowing the real moments to happen while creating images that still feel intentional and timeless.

The art of storytelling


Capturing the genuine moments that define your life.


Life is made up of countless small moments... those authentic interactions that often go unnoticed. My goal is to capture those fleeting instances that define who you are and the relationships that shape your world. Through a blend of candid shots and subtle direction, I create images that reflect the true spirit of your story, preserving memories that feel as real as the moment itself.

The art of storytelling


The Art of Light: illuminating stories through photography.


Light is what brings every story to life. Whether it's the golden warmth of a sunset or the soft glow of a cozy room, I use light to highlight the emotions and details that make each moment unique. By playing with light and shadow, I create images that do more than just show what happened, they capture the feeling of the moment, giving your story a depth that’s as rich as the experience itself.

Capturing the vibe

Hi Friends!


Hi, I’m Sarah, the creative heart behind Booth Creative Co. I’m a Wilmington, NC wedding photographer who grew up dreaming of becoming a photographer, inspired by the National Geographic magazines I would eagerly flip through as a kid. Today, I’m living that dream, capturing love, connection, and the beauty of life through my lens.


Based out of Wilmington, NC, I specialize in wedding, event, portrait, and food photography. My work is all about storytelling, whether it’s the quiet, intimate moments between two people in love or the vibrant energy of a beautifully plated dish.


I’ve been told I have a calming and comforting energy, and I truly think it’s my superpower. Whether I’m photographing a wedding or a family session, I aim to create a space where you feel relaxed, authentic, and completely yourself. I’ll even act a little silly if it means getting genuine smiles, pretending to be a gorilla is a proven favorite for kids!


When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring nature, hiking, or planning my next trip... I love to travel and connect with new places. My wife is my travel buddy, best friend, and biggest supporter, and our sweet pup G completes our little family. G is my shadow, my soul dog, and the best assistant I could ever ask for.


I believe photography is more than just images, it’s a way to hold on to moments, tell stories, and create something meaningful to look back on. I’d love to connect with you and help capture your memories in a way that feels true to you.
