I am based in Pacific Northwest, but about 99% of my work takes me elsewhere. I love to travel and am constantly on the go. Luckily, I have my dream job which allows me to visit new and familiar places, capturing beautiful memories along the way.
In my spare time, I love to be on the water or on the slopes. I also love to be at home editing with my husband, our two cats and dog.
I am LGBTQ+ inclusive and an advocate for a person's right to choose- you are welcomed here regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, body image, or disabilities. If that statement upsets you, we are probably not meant to work together.
A Bit About Me
Hi, I'm Sarah Lord
Let’s keep it real and happy! I want your images to look timeless and portray your personality. I want your wedding video to be a mini-movie of your wedding day so you can remember it forever. I try my best to be everything you didn’t know you needed on your wedding day. I’ve pinned boutineers, picked up coffee, and have even given one of my camera lenses to the photographer when their lens broke. I’m confident in what I do, so I have no problem being direct when something needs to get done.
Every wedding I shoot is just a reminder of how fortunate I am to document love! I’m invested in your story and wedding day. You can catch me tearing up behind the camera as you share a first look with your dad or sobbing in my house alone as I edit your wedding video. I know that if I feel this way about your final product, you will feel the same way!
My Approach
let’s connect
AJ & Austin
Sarah is absolutely amazing!
I flew Sarah out to Cabo San Lucas for a surprise proposal and she was so easy to work with. Sarah will sacrifice anything for her clients (she literally hid under a hot sailboat cabin for 45 minutes before our proposal and did it with a smile). Before we left for Cabo, I called and texted Sarah multiple times and she was very quick to respond which gave me peace of mind. She thought of even the smallest details and came up with a plan and executed it. The day after our proposal she invited us for a fun brunch and went the extra mile to take some engagement photos of us. We have gotten our photos back and are in awe reliving every moment of the most perfect trip.
Brandon & Colleen
Meeting Sarah was like catching up with an old friend.
When it came to our wedding photographer, my husband and I wanted someone who could capture every moment. The big moments were just as important to us as the mall in-between moments. When I came across Sarah’s Instagram in the early stages of wedding planning, I knew she was our photographer. I reached out and we were lucky enough to meet Sarah in person when she was shooting in Brooklyn. Meeting Sarah was like catching up with an old friend. Sarah has a calm and grounding presence that made my husband and I feel at ease in from of the camera. When it came to our wedding, we felt so lucky we had Sarah by our side. Despite the rain on our wedding day, Sarh still brought laughter, positivity, and her calm presence that allowed my husband and I to fully embrace our wedding day. When we look at our wedding photos, we relive every moment through how Sarah captured our day and we are so thankful.
Aubre & Erika
Sarah was phenomenal as our wedding photographer.
As an LGBTQ couple, feeling comfortable was crucial, and Sarah made us feel understood and at ease. From our first meeting, she felt more like a friend than a vendor. On our wedding day, she captured the raw, genuine emotions beautifully and went above and beyond to help with anything we needed. She helped bustle our dresses, made sure we had a drink when we wanted it, and even got to know our family members (who are all equally obsessed with her). We would all literally lay down in traffic for her! Beyond her incredible talent, she is a great person and truly cares about the people around her. We can't thank Sarah enough for her amazing work and are so thankful to have her in our lives.
When having my logo designed, I knew I wanted it to have a butterfly for my grandmother. At 90 years old, she was the sassiest and most amazing woman I had ever known. She was my best friend and always encouraged me to keep working towards my dreams. For her last birthday, we even got matching tattoos together (her idea). She had said she had always wanted one and my response was, “What are you waiting for?” I told her I would get one with her and we decided on butterflies - her favorite.
Behind the Butterfly
That ended up being the last birthday I would get to celebrate with her. Today, I’m so lucky that I have this beautiful reminder of her- not only on my finger, but now in my logo. Everytime someone asks about it, I get to tell them about the fearless Juanita May. Everytime I see a butterfly, I always think of her. I like to think that she is looking down on me and very proud of what I have accomplished.
It’s only appropriate that the video that started my videography career, was of her 90th birthday.
