Sarah Marie Photography

If you want wedding photos that feel like you — unforced, honest and a little bit nostalgic — Sarah Marie is the Eastbourne wedding photographer to call. Sarah’s approach is rooted in documentary wedding photography: she floats around like one of your guests, watching for genuine reactions and quiet moments rather than staging a dozen contrived poses. The result is a collection of images that read like the story of your day, full of emotion, atmosphere and the tiny details you’ll want to remember. Sarah is drawn to weddings that make use of the outdoors — beaches, woods and fields often feature in her portfolio — and she brings a natural, film-quality edit that suits sunlit coastal scenes as well as moody inland settings. Her style favours true-to-life colours and soft, timeless tones that let your emotions and the place itself shine. Whether you’re planning a live-band reception, an informal humanist ceremony or a spontaneous dancefloor moment, Sarah’s calm, friendly presence helps everyone relax so you get authentic photographs rather than forced smiles. Working with Sarah feels conversational and simple. She likes to talk through your plans in advance, understand what matters most to you and be flexible on the day so she can document the moments that make your wedding unique. Engagement shoots are also available to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day — a low-pressure way to build rapport and get a few keepsakes to use for invites or social announcements. Although weddings are Sarah’s primary focus, she’s happy to travel across East Sussex and further afield for elopements and destination days. Her experience photographing a wide range of celebrations means she adapts easily to different venues and atmospheres while always prioritising natural storytelling over heavy-handed direction. If you’re after professional wedding photos that capture the spirit of your day — candid laughter, the small gestures, the in-between moments — Sarah Marie offers a warm, unobtrusive approach that brings those memories to life. Get in touch to arrange a chat and see if her relaxed, documentary style is the right fit for your wedding in Eastbourne or beyond.
