Her photographs feel cinematic and heartfelt, striking a balance between editorial portraiture and a sensitive documentary approach. What makes her approach special is a thoughtful blend of artistry and care. Sarah is not interested in “just good enough.” She invests in getting to know couples, learning what matters most so she can capture images that reflect personality, atmosphere and emotion. Her portfolio, from intimate countryside ceremonies at Firle Place to elegant city weddings at the Old Royal Naval College and Leeds Castle, demonstrates an ability to adapt while keeping a consistent, sophisticated aesthetic. How she works: Sarah keeps the atmosphere relaxed and collaborative. Before your day she’ll talk through your timeline, understand the moments you value, and offer discreet guidance so portraits feel effortless and natural. On the wedding day she moves unobtrusively to document the story as it unfolds, stepping in for considered, editorial portraits when the moment calls for them. Her calm, conversational manner helps even camera-shy couples feel at ease, producing confident, emotive images with style and soul. A Hastings-based photographer with a love for East Sussex and the surrounding counties, Sarah travels across Sussex, London, Surrey and Kent to photograph weddings that deserve thoughtful, artful storytelling. If you want professional wedding photography that honours atmosphere, emotion and timeless beauty, Sarah Rook Photography brings a refined, cinematic voice to your wedding story.
