Hello! My name is Sarah Botta and I am a Wedding and Portrait Photographer. The feel of a 4x6 image in my hands reliving captured memories is what lead to me falling in love with photography when I was only 6! It wasn’t until after I got married in 2013, I turned my love for photography into a business. My style is romantic, elegant, classic portraits full of beautiful light. When I’m not photographing anything you can find me enjoying a cup of coffee either from a local coffee shoppe or on the couch with my husband and daughter, exploring the great outdoors, swimming or skiing. I’m known for smiling a lot, being adventurous, enjoying and adapting to any situation. I adore working with adventurous, head-over-heels in love couples and can’t wait to tell your story.
On my blog I share my recent work, wedding planning tips, as well as stories from my latest travels and adventures.

Last Fall, I photographed my annual fall mini sessions. I met new families and couples as well as photographed my loyal clients who come back each year. One of my new mini session couples, Kori and Nhan were planning their Vietnamese wedding in January and wanted me to be their photographer. Unfortunately, I was outside their photography budget. Kori decided a mini session in her reception wedding dress would be the perfect way to have her wedding portraits taken by me.
Little did Nhan know, Kori’s dress in these photos was just out of 3 wedding dresses she would be wearing on their wedding day. This was her reception dress. She would also be wearing her traditional Vietnamese dress and a surprise wedding dress for Nhan. This was a first, photographing an engaged couple in their wedding attire. Not going to lie, I loved it!
Kori was a trooper! “Anything for the photos” she said. You can’t tell bit it was very cold in the photos and in some of the photos like the twirling images, she is barefoot!
My mini sessions are only 15 minutes so I was so sad when those 15 minutes were over. I adore this couple! They are so beautiful together and were such a joy to capture. When they received their photos, Kori and Nhan loved them so much Kori knew she had to have me photograph her wedding no matter what. Fast forward a few months and I photographed their wedding!
