The Experience
I promise you that your wedding photos will not look like these.
Why?
Because your day will be authentically yours.
After 13 years shooting weddings I can confidently say that every wedding is different and that is what keeps me absolutely in love with my job. You will feel your own feels with your people, do your favorite things, dance to your favorite songs, eat your favorite foods, and marry your favorite person.
I’ll arrive at your wedding with knowledge of who you are and what(and who) is most important to you so you can be fully present and trust that I’ll capture it all for you.
My approach
I keep my camera up during the in-between moments because I know that’s where the magic happens.
A hand squeeze, a tear forming in dad’s eye unbeknownst to you, one last deep breath before walking down the aisle, the exhale with your partner and your kids in those post-ceremony moments.
Instead of showing up with a list of poses and photo ideas I will...
- Keep a special eye on your aunt who is like a second mom to you watching you get married
- Know when to take you outside for 5 minutes of quiet and soak-it-in time with your partner
- Get lots of floral detail photos because I know they include your grandma’s favorite flower
- Get through family formals in an organized relaxed way so you can enjoy your time with family instead of being stressed
The first step is to send me a message and tell me all about your story and wedding plans! Then we'll get to chatting about the details via email, or phone call. I'd love to meet in person if you're located in Nashville as well. We'll go over all the important things and make sure that we're a perfect fit for each other.
It's so important to me that I connect with my couples. After all, I'll be with you more than any other vendor and it's so much more fun and relaxed when you feel like you've got a good friend by your side!
Say Hello
Step 1 of 5
Once we've got you booked, we'll start talking about your engagement session. This is really the best way for us to get to know each other and get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day! I know that no one loves being in front of the camera, but I promise you I make it fun and give you lots of direction so you know what to do and still look like your real joyful selves.
Engagement sessions are also a great way to get awesome photos of the two of you looking like you do on a typical day and not just all done up for your wedding. I love doing these somewhere meaningful or personal. They're perfect for save-the-dates and framed prints throughout your home.
Your Engagement Session
Step 2 of 5
I'll start sending over some helpful information to help you along in the planning process as soon as you're officially booked! After over a decade of shooting weddings, I have lots of vendor recommendations and just general wedding day tips that I love to share with my couples. We'll also chat about your timeline and figure out the best way to structure your day tailored to your unique plans.
If you ever need help with anything throughout your planning process, I'm just an email away!
Keeping In Touch
Step 3 of 5
It's time to marry your person!!
Once your wedding day is here, you'll be able to just enjoy and have the best day ever with your people. I'll send you a questionnaire before your wedding day where you can let me know all the important details including your family photos, final timeline, and everything else that is special and important to you so that I'm fully prepared to capture your day exactly how you pictured it.
Your Wedding Day!
Step 4 of 5
Your gallery will be delivered to you no more than 8 weeks after your wedding, and I will always send some sneak peeks shortly after your day to hold you over until they are all finished!
Once you receive your gallery you'll get to relive the most amazing day through your photos, share them with friends and family, and order prints directly from your gallery so you can hang your photos in your home to see every day.
I highly recommend adding a custom designed album to your package if it doesn't come with one. Future generations won't have your phone or computer, but they will be able to flip through your archival wedding album.

I can't say enough good things about Sara! She is incredible! Sara did our proposal, engagement, and wedding pictures and all three shoots were everything we hoped for and more. Not only does she produce the best pictures I've ever seen, but she is a dream to work with.
She is chill and go with the flow, but took charge on wedding day to keep family and the wedding party in line so as not to go over on timing.
If you don't hire Sara for your wedding day, you're making a huge mistake. Sara Bill Photography is the best!!!

Sara was with us every step of the way throughout our wedding planning process - from capturing Justin's proposal on the John Seigenthaler pedestrian bridge, to being more than eager and willing to hike Rock Island State Park in 90-degree weather for our waterfall inspired engagement pictures, and ultimately capturing our wedding day beyond our expectations!
Sara made the entire process feel relaxed and natural and we will cherish our pictures forever! We would not hesitate to recommend her talents!!

Sara captured our micro-wedding perfectly.
She is such a talented photographer, and she was so enjoyable to work with throughout the vendor selection process and especially on our wedding day. Her ease and expertise helped my husband and I relax.
We are so thankful we decided to hire a photographer, and specifically Sara.
She made taking lots of pictures feel natural, and she captured some amazing candid moments.

We had the best experience with Sara!
She is professional, responsive, organized, and accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone. She did a great job listening to what we wanted in our photos and capturing the essence of our wedding and reception. She made us feel comfortable during our posed photos and was wonderful at managing a large wedding party for the posed photos. The candids were stunning as well.
Photos came back in a timely manner and the quality and website/link are easy to use. We will definitely use her for any future events. Thanks Sara!!

Sara is the BEST at capturing you in your natural element. Her ability to catch those moments, in the perfect lighting and highlight all the colors that surround you is just amazing. On top of that, she is FAST and keeps you moving. I cannot believe the pictures we received, there are just way too many good ones to pick from!
Thanks Sara - we loved having you and look forward to booking you again for future events!

We can’t say enough good things about Sara.
She scouted the perfect spots for our photos ahead of time, and was always quick to respond to emails and provided helpful guidance during our planning process.
On our wedding day, Sara was friendly, professional, efficient (important, given it was freezing for our outdoor photos!), easygoing, and overall wonderful to work with.
We can’t recommend her enough!
