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.

Wedding days are long and tough on the feet so we know how important it is to find a good shoe! Since we are on our feet for 6-10 hours with a lot of walking, carrying equipment, going outside, walking through grass, etc., we need to find a durable shoe as well.
A few years ago, I asked this shoe question to my photographer friends on Facebook. They all sore by Crocs! I purchased myself a pair and wore them to a wedding. Mistake!! I learned a huge lesson. NEVER buy a shoe and wear them to a wedding without wearing them around for a few days first – just making sure they are comfortable. Seems like common sense right?! The Crocs I purchased were SO uncomfortable! They made my feet blister and bleed. I wanted to be barefoot so badly but knew I couldn’t be barefoot at a wedding! So not professional. After this horrible experience, I needed to find an all around comfortable, cute, and durable shoe.
Rothy’s are amazing. They are not only a super cute shoe but they are incredibly comfortable! Rothy’s don’t rub or cause any discomfort. They form to your foot and the best part? They are washable!! Rothy’s are made from recycled water bottles which is super cool! I love that I can wear them through grass, mud, etc. and wash them after a wedding day. Rothy’s are extremely durable.
– Rothy’s
– Birkenstocks
– Vionics
– Tieks – Very expensive, cause blisters
– Croc flats – Rub in all the wrong places, cause blisters and bleeding
