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.

MEET SARAH

This Summer Woodlands at Algonkian Wedding was a first for me for two reasons. One – none of this wedding (ceremony or reception) were spoken in English and two – the days leading up to this wedding, all you heard on the news and radio was how hot it was going to be over the weekend and, if at all possible, stay inside. That wasn’t an option and being 8 months pregnant wasn’t going to stop me! The temps were 102 with a heat index of 102. I planned out an alternative wedding outfit so I wouldn’t get overheated and made sure I had my favorite electrolyte drink Body Armor Lyte chilling in the fridge.

The beautiful bride Melat made last minute arrangements to help her family stay cool and ensure no one would need to be outside too long. Melat and Kinfu’s wedding ceremony was beautiful and the pastor made it short. He knew how hot it was and in a blink of eye the ceremony was over.

This Ethiopian wedding was filled with dancing, music, food, and laughter. The reception was especially fun because Melat and Kinfu had a male and female dancer that had several outfit changes through the night each one representing a different tribe and cultural dance in Ethiopia! This was the neatest thing to see and I couldn’t help but dance along.

Congratulations Melat and Kinfu and thank you for choosing me to capture your wedding day.

Enjoy my favorites from Melat and Kinfu’s Summer Woodlands at Algonkian Wedding.
