Last update: February 2025

Hi, I'm Sarah, owner of the Hertfordshire-based Wedding photography business Purple Kite Photography.

While you focus on having the best day of your life, marrying your best friend and celebrating with all of your favourite people, I’ll focus on making sure you won’t ever forget it!

​I specialize in a relaxed, documentary-style photography telling the story of your day unobtrusively, capturing all the big moments as well as all those gorgeous little stories in between.

Once the day is over and the flowers have faded, all that is left of your incredible wedding are your memories and your photographs! I love being able to document the raw emotions and excitement of a wedding day and take pride in delivering beautiful images that you will cherish for a lifetime.

How I work

Purple Kite Photography is built on a genuine passion for telling visual stories. Your wedding day is all about you so I work around your plans, capturing moments as they happen, offering a relaxed and natural style, and capturing authentic emotions whilst blending into the background. And I won't be taking you away from your guests for hours to take endless gimmicky posed shots.

I’m a hopeless romantic, so you might well catch a beaming smile on my face or tears in my eyes during your wedding, and I make no apologies for it. I want you to know that I am as invested in your wedding as you are and you can trust in my warm, calming personality and gentle guidance to achieve stunning images of you both feeling relaxed and looking gorgeously happy.

I always meet the couple in advance of the wedding day if possible. Remember, your photographer will be shadowing you throughout the day, often from early in the morning whilst getting ready, so it's vital that you get on well! It's also helpful to chat about what you'd like from your photographer on the day and to create a list of essential photos and important people in advance of the day to ensure that all of those things will be captured, meaning you won't need to worry about it on the day.

Services Offered

On the day, I start when you want me to, and have a range of packages which begin at 4 hours and go right through to the first dance and beyond! To get a full picture of the services I offer, I'd love to meet for a coffee and begin designing a bespoke package that fits perfectly with your day.

Although I'm based in Hertfordshire, I'm very happy to travel to capture your day!
