Hello

White Laurel Estate Wedding | Dawsonville, GA

arrow

Weddings

Alice and Orlando’s White Laurel Estate wedding was filled with the sweetest moments. Starting with how they met, Alice and Orlando met at a dog park. Subsequently, in a true life 101 Dalmatians moment, their dogs Gracie and Brave became friends and Alice and Orlando’s love story began. It was only natural that Gracie and Brave were included in all aspects of the wedding.

The Sixty-Two Wedding | Madison, GA

arrow

Weddings

Miley and Jacob’s The Sixty-Two wedding was SO intentional. Jacob’s sister passed away when they were kids, so Miley found a special way to honor her. Miley had a photo printed of Brittany with her dress photoshopped to the color of the bridesmaid’s dresses. When Miley revealed this thoughtful gift, Jacob and his family were speechless. They had no clue Miley planned this.

For Brides

Meet Rachel! You’ll be seeing a lot more of her, as I am so excited to introduce her as the newest member of the Sarah Folsom Photography team! Rachel has been working alongside me second shooting for weddings, while also handling business operations behind-the-scenes for a while now.

Private Residence Wedding

Private Residence Wedding | Rutledge, GA

arrow

Weddings

Leah and Jack’s private residence wedding was incredibly special. Their engagement session was in Madison, so I loved how they kept the outdoor theme throughout their wedding festivities. It was great getting to know Leah and Jack’s personalities through their engagement session, to then being able to understand how they envisioned their wedding day.

Lake Oconee Engagement | Maggie and Ryan

arrow

Engagements

Maggie and Ryan’s Lake Oconee engagement session was absolutely breathtaking! We landed on having their engagement session at Sandy Creek Barn because Maggie and Ryan are actually getting married there. The venue is gorgeous and I can’t wait for their wedding day! It’s so unique that Maggie and Ryan chose to have their engagement photos at their venue.

Athens Engagement

Athens Engagement | Emma and Brendan

Engagements

Emma and Brendan’s Athens engagement session was incredibly special. For starters, these two are middle school sweethearts! I photography high school and college sweethearts all the time, but middle school is so sweet and unique.

Rainy Wedding Day? No Problem!

arrow

For Brides

Having a rainy wedding day is not the nightmare scenario you think it is! However, having a rainy wedding day without a back-up rain plan, especially if you are incorporating outdoor spaces for your venue, reception, or both, is.

Second Photographers, What’s The Deal?

arrow

For Brides

A frequent question I get from brides is: “Do I really need a second photographer for my wedding?”

The Wimbish House Wedding

arrow

Weddings

Ashley and Jasen’s Wimbish House wedding was a classic affair. White was the color for their wedding; from the bridesmaids dresses to the flowers and the reception space, I absolutely adored this look! Ashley and Jasen were the sweetest couple to work with, and all around so much fun.

Madison Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Hanging out with Leah and Jack in their hometown of Bostwick, Georgia for their engagement session was such a treat. These two are getting married on March 19th, so you could say I can’t wait to celebrate them so soon!

The Swan House

Editorial: The Swan House Wedding Styled Event

arrow

Editorials

The Swan House is a venue that most wedding industry professionals have high on their bucket list, and I was lucky enough shoot an editorial here recently. Everything about The Swan House is swoon worthy. The architecture and the landscaping are a photographers dream!

Midtown Atlanta Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

McKenzie and Cameron’s Midtown Atlanta engagement session took us through Winn Park and Peachtree Street. We chose to walk Peachtree Street as McKenzie and Cameron both worked in the PWC building throughout their relationship. They would walk to get coffee together, so I really loved this full circle moment.

Cator Woolford Gardens Engagement

arrow

Engagements

I loved getting to spend time with Megan and Brandon during their Cator Woolford Gardens Engagement session earlier last year. These two are having an intentional and intimate wedding next month (what!) and I cannot wait to celebrate with them.

Magnolia Oaks Farm Wedding

arrow

Weddings

Anslyn + Brady were such a fun couple to get to know and a joy to work with throughout their engagement and wedding day. They’re the kind of people who you feel like you’ve known for years. Each moment of their Magnolia Oaks Farm Wedding day was intentional, personal and so sweet.

The Farm at High Shoals Wedding

arrow

Weddings

Haley and Brian’s The Farm at High Shoals wedding was a highly anticipated summer night! After being thrown quite a few curveballs due to COVID, this couple was ready to celebrate with their closest friends and family.

The Engine Room Wedding, Monroe, Georgia

arrow

Weddings

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of photographing Mary Trent + Joshua’s big day at The Engine Room in Monroe, Georgia. Funny enough, I used to babysit Joshua and his siblings, so it was special to get to document this season of his life.

The Graduate Wedding, Athens, Georgia

arrow

Weddings

Millie and Tyler… find a sweeter, more head-over-heels-in-love couple… I’ll wait. These two are precious and their wedding day was on a warm, sunny day in February.

Surprise Proposal at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia

arrow

Proposals

I’m a sucker for a good proposal story. In fact, I always ask my couples at their consultation how they got engaged. So, imagine how much I love photographing proposals? Um… the limit does not exist!

Meet Sarah!

arrow

For Brides

Hi friends! I’m so happy that you’re checking out my blog! I wish we could sit down at a super cozy coffee shop with iced coffees and chat face to face (I’m really giving away my enneagram here, aren’t I?), but since that’s not always possible (thanks to Covid + geography), I’m thankful that we have these platforms to connect.

North Campus & Lake Herrick Engagement Session, Athens, Georgia

arrow

Engagements

Haley and Brian really wanted pretty fall foliage for their engagement photos and Lake Herrick did not disappoint!! The walking trails and the lake were simply stunning! Then, we headed over to North Campus since they’re both UGA alums!

UGA’s North Campus Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Joshua and Mary Trent both attend UGA and they got engaged on North Campus, so when we were planning for their engagement session, choosing North Campus as our location was a no brainer! These two are just precious and I cannot wait for their wedding in May 2021!
