Meet Sarah
Hiiiii - I’m Sarah! I photographed my first wedding at the age of sixteen and i remember thinking, “I can’t believe that people get paid to do this?!” Fast forward a few years, and I started photographing weddings full time! It’s now been over ten years and…I still love it. *wipes a tear* If you’re in front of my camera, you shouldn’t be surprised if I try to make you laugh or even pretend to have an accent of some kind. (My go to tends to be Italian or Australian…but I have zero family connections, so, let’s just roll with it!) I’m honored to be a part of every wedding I photograph and all of the in-between moments and I hope to see you on the dance floor!
Sarah’s fun facts
1. I’m still sad that the band I was in, in fifth grade, never took off. I’ll get over it one day! (Plz add me to your prayer list.)
2. I’ve been vegan for two years.
3. I’m one of nine kids. (No, we aren’t mormon, Catholic or Amish 🤣)
4. I’m one of the rare people who sneeze when they look at the sun!
5. I *very often* think about insane pregnancy is. We are all so used to women walking around with a developing human that is living in a human submarine. IT IS WILD TO ME! And I cannot wait to experience that one day.
Hi, hi!
I’m Christy.
I’M A destination and adventure photographer with a deep love for the ocean
I live in Pennsylvania but my heart travels the globe in my dreams. I serve couples and families who share my love of the ocean and document them in “Land + Sea” sessions that represent them.
Some families crave the sunset and sand between their toes in Southern Florida & Hawaii, while others celebrate their vow renewals in the mountains in Alaska. Next on my list of adventure sessions is going wild with a camera underwater in Curacou.
I still have MANY locations on my ever growing destination “list”. Some being, Italy, Egypt, Switzerland and Spain. I also wouldn’t mind going back to Yosemite and Zion for destination elopements!
STUPID FACTS ABOUT ME
I was born in Lancaster, but grew up overseas in Jerusalem and Venezuela. I would go back in a heartbeat. The travel bug started young! I always love finding adventures in new places beyond my hometown.
If you tell me to decide between sunrise or sleep, I'll almost always choose sleep. (Gasp, I know!) But if you ask me to tag along with you to browse around Salvation Army or a flea market, I'll probably drop everything I'm doing.
I cross my eyes when putting on my mascara. I can’t whistle. But making fun of myself to get others to laugh with me is my superpower.

Let me start off by saying that Christy Renee is absolutely amazing! My fiance and I were searching for a photographer at the very beginning of our wedding planning journey. No one compared to Christy Renee!
