Well hello!

The joy I find in love and family leads me to, quite naturally, preserve wedding days... the day in which love digs its roots in deep. It's the foundation for the life ahead, come what may. My desire is to provide a beautiful collection of photographs that will last my clients a lifetime– to remind them of the promises they've made to each other; because the marriage is so much more important than the wedding day.

I'm Sara–
I am a wedding photographer, wife and mom who is passionate about love and family.

MORe >

The biggest blessing in my life is, by far, my family. My little tribe is made up of myself, my amazing husband, Lance, and our two spirited, and oh-so-lovable, boys. When I look around at my life I can easily see how I am so very blessed. I thank Jesus for giving me my identity and I count it such a privilege that my passion gets to be my job. Bearing witness to countless wedding days, creating lasting and tangible memories for my clients... it's something that I don't take lightly and I consider the honor to be truly all mine.

Get to know me a little more!

give me all the nature

I love all things plants, trees, insects, grass, birds, flowers... I guess we'll wrap it all up under the umbrella of flora & fauna.
I love being out in it, nurturing it, observing it, collecting it. The next best thing to being out in it, is bringing the outside in. If I showed you my indoor plant collection you'd quickly see that it's Crazy Cat Lady level.

I love purchasing high maintenance plants– fussing over them and curating just the right conditions so they can thrive. I'm also delighted to get next-to-dead plants off of the clearance rack and nurse them back to health... challenge accepted!!
Oh, and don't even get me started on terrariums!

01.

family is everything

When I was little, the only thing I knew I wanted to be when I grew up was a mom. I am so thankful that I get to have this dream come true. Being a wife + mother is the greatest calling on my life; it's my deepest joy, and at the same time, it's the area that always has lots of room for growth.

This photo was taken when we became a family of four and it's still one of my favorites. If I look at it long enough (which is not long at all), I get baby crazy all over again!

tea for the win!

I do enjoy a nice cup of coffee from time to time, but tea is where it's at for me! Hot or iced... yes, please!

03.

I'd be nothing without Jesus

I've known God nearly my entire life. And with that, I must say that my life has been, and is, far from perfect; Jesus is the only one that can redeem my story.
A Bible verse I've been clinging to lately is John 8:12:

"Jesus said, I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life."

How beautiful and true these words have proved to be in my life.

04.

hobbies

I come alive when I'm creating. I like to dabble in lots of different creative forms, such as:

05.

• quilting
• writing
• watercolor
• scrapbooking
• basket weaving
• flower arranging
• hand lettering & calligraphy
• sourdough baking & cooking

well that's certainly enough about me for now!

I want to hear from YOU! I'd love nothing more than for you to

I can't wait to meet you!

drop me a line!

I am beyond happy with our wedding photos!
So many beautiful pictures that I can't even pick a favorite. Sara is so nice and very professional and she did such a great job making everyone feel comfortable with posing for pictures.
I love these pictures so much and she did an amazing job of capturing all of those special little moments. The candid reception photos were better than I could have imagined!

I'm so glad we have these beautiful photos to look back on and remember our wedding day.

I'm so glad we chose her to capture the joy of our

Sara was SO great to work with! Joe and I had no idea what we were doing and were afraid we were going to be awkward in front of the camera, but
and helped us find poses and locations to make our pictures so beautiful.
She also got some amazing pictures with our pup…which was not easy because he’s crazy! But you wouldn’t be able to tell from the shots she got of him looking so well-behaved.
She got our photos back to us so quickly and we were so happy with them all. We ended up paying extra to add more photos on our save the dates because we couldn’t pick just one!
We can’t wait to work with Sara again at our wedding – I can only imagine how beautiful those pictures will be based on the engagement session!
We highly recommend her!

Sara made
it so natural

Sara was great to work with on our wedding day! Not only was she very accommodating and helpful,

which made me relax and enjoy the day! She took time to meet with us a few weeks before our wedding day to discuss details (timing, pictures we wanted or didn't want, etc.) which I found extremely comforting. Sara was very conscious of what time it was and we ended up running ahead of schedule which also allowed the day to be very relaxing. And beyond how amazing she is as a person, the pictures that she took of our wedding were just stunning! She captured every moment of the day. I continue to recommend Sara Bittner Photography to any of my friends who are currently planning weddings and I can't wait for her to capture future memorable events.

she was a very calm presence

My fiancé and I were having a difficult time finding a wedding photographer that offered a quality product at a reasonable price. We searched high & low, meeting with several different photographers. Sara Bittner Photography was recommended to us by a friend. When Sara met with us for a consultation we just knew that this was who wanted to photograph our wedding day! We felt comfortable with her right away. She comes with a great background of experience and had all kinds of tips & tricks for us.

Included in our package was an engagement session. Sara traveled to take our photos on my husband's family's farm. Having the engagement session made it easier for us to know what it would be like on our wedding day. After our engagement session, Sara sat down with us to work on a timeline for our wedding day. She took her

time with us and talked through different options & offered advice based on previous experiences. We were thankful that she was so knowledgeable! Our wedding day couldn't have gone smoother. Sara was beside us all day. She was professional, yet personable. Our guests commented on how pleasant she was... and, of course, everyone loved the photos! When we received our photos we were excited as we looked through them that evening. The photos told a story of our day from start to finish... from the makeup to the last dance. Sara captured every moment beautifully! Her attention to detail was impeccable! We could not be happier with the service and would highly recommend Sara Bittner Photography to anyone and everyone! Thank you, Sara, for making our perfect day complete!

Sara made the photography aspect of our wedding easy!

She's very flexible and easy to work with– putting your mind at ease. Her second shooter was able to catch some great angles as well for some candid photos of friends and family, which are moments we didn't get a chance to see ourselves as the day flew by.
Sara definitely paid attention to all the little details. I'll cherish both my engagement and wedding day photos forever. She definitely puts her heart and soul into her work.

She accommodated all of our requests of things that were important to us & gave suggestions of what she has found to work well at weddings in the past.

I get how big of a deal your wedding day is. I get that every aspect of it is exciting and I definitely understand how important it is to have everything just right. Everything from the venue all the way down to the tiniest of details. This attention to detail should also include having the right photographer for you. Being comfortable with your photographer is so crucial to having wedding photos that are a true and genuine reflection of you and the love you two share.

This is one of the reasons why I take a bit of time to get to know you before we move forward with booking your wedding–you deserve the photographer that is most compatible with you and your fiancé's personalities and style. I also don't accept every single one of the weddings that comes along. I take on only a limited number of weddings per year so that I can devote the time and attention to each of my wonderful clients that they deserve.
