Northamptonshire Wedding Photographer - Capturing Authentic Moments

Hey, lovebugs! It’s lovely to see you here. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

I’m Sarah Vivienne, a relaxed wedding photographer for couples who want to be fully present in their special day and have timeless in-the-moment photos to remember it. I’m based in Northamptonshire – but my heart is in Norfolk – and I happily travel the UK countryside for a good love story!

I've been a professional wedding photographer for nearly 20 years and have captured hundreds of weddings. Over this time, I've learned that a wedding isn’t about the photos. It’s about a day where you’re so immersed in the moment you forget the camera’s even there. I'm so inspired by the real life that happens around a wedding. So my goal is to discreetly and timelessly capture all the natural magic, so you can relive it forever.

But you need more than an incredible photographer to get wedding photos you adore. You also need a day that’s totally you – the kind that makes your heart happy and infuses your photos with nothing but happy memories. That’s why I offer a holistic, thoughtful service to help you set the tone for photos that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. And I only take on 20 weddings a year so I can give every couple my best.

 

Sarah specializes in capturing beautiful and meaningful weddings with a focus on creating personal and relaxed experiences. Her wedding blog showcases memorable events like Claudia and Cal’s classic countryside wedding at Wing church and Alice and Jamie's charming ceremony in Grantchester. Each wedding is filled with unique elements and heartfelt moments.
 
Sarah frequently photographs at private homes, offering a unique charm to her events. Her wedding venues page highlights stunning locations in Northamptonshire, such as Dodford Manor, Deene Park, and Courteenhall. Other notable venues include Boughton House, Kelmarsh Hall, and Fawsley Hall. Each venue reflects Sarah's dedication to capturing the essence of English country garden weddings, providing couples the freedom to design a day that is uniquely their own.
