Sarah Martins Photography

I’m Sarah — a natural‑light wedding photographer based in Harlow, Essex, whose work centres on authentic, reportage storytelling. My passion is showing not just how a wedding looks, but how it feels: the small gestures, the laughter, the messy, joyful moments that make each day unique. If you’re a relaxed couple who wants honest, emotive photos with earthy, moody tones and plenty of candid frames, we’ll be a great match. My approach is simple and unobtrusive. I favour natural light and avoid flash where possible to keep images feeling genuine and timeless. Over more than a decade behind the camera I’ve developed a quiet, observational style that lets me blend into the day — capturing fleeting glances, tears, and bursts of laughter without interrupting the moment. This reportage focus means your gallery will reflect the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding rather than stiff, over-posed shots. Working with me is relaxed and collaborative. I take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most on your day, and help guide the moments that benefit from gentle direction while always prioritising authenticity. Whether during bridal preparations, ceremony, or the reception, my aim is to create a calm presence so you feel more like guests than subjects. For couples who want an extra chance to relax in front of the camera, I also offer engagement/couples sessions designed to build confidence and capture your connection before the wedding. I care about the story behind every photograph. From my first solo wedding at 16 to the many ceremonies and celebrations I’ve photographed since, I’ve learned to notice the details others might miss. My images are edited in my signature style to create a cohesive, emotive gallery you’ll treasure for years. Based in Harlow and shooting across Essex, I bring a friendly, personal touch — and sometimes my Frenchie Bruce makes a cameo — to every project. Choose me if you want a specialist wedding photographer who values real moments, relaxed partnerships, and emotionally honest images that tell your story for generations to come.
