My goal is to capture the raw, romantic moments that make your love story unique, preserving your most cherished memories. With every wedding, elopement, and session, I bring attention to detail, honoring the beauty and significance of your moments as they deserve to be remembered.

And something for you two to remember forever.

Something...

"We were thrilled with our experience choosing Sara Bowdler as our photographer for our wedding and engagement photos in Chicago!

From our very first meeting, Sara made us feel comfortable and at ease, which is so important when you're planning such a big day. She is organized and professional. We felt very reassured when she arranged 2 separate video calls before the shoot to plan and ensure we were all on the same page about our vision and what was important to us. Her warm personality and genuine enthusiasm for capturing our love story made the entire process enjoyable..."

"... On the day of the wedding, Sara blended seamlessly into the day, capturing candid moments that perfectly reflect our joy and the love surrounding us. Her attention to detail and creative vision are truly remarkable!

The final photos are absolutely stunning-each image is a beautiful reminder of our special day.

I can't recommend Sara Bowdler enough for anyone looking for not just a skilled photographer, but someone who feels like a friend. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!"

"I have nothing, but amazing things to say about Sara... After speaking with numerous photographers, I trusted Sara after our phone call. She exceeded all expectations during our engagement shoot and l've received SO many compliments on her work.

We had our wedding... and my family and bridal party agreed she was so nice to work with and gave great direction to the group. I felt like our candid moments were captured even more beautifully than they were in real life. I don't know how she does it but her work rich with bold colors, candid yet still a work of art."

My engagement photos looked like they were out of a movie and my wedding photos were stunning!
