The SMP Experience
With over 250 weddings photographed since 2017, I bring a confident and supportive presence with an upbeat, excitable energy to wedding days of every size and style. I have seen just about everything: timeline delays, unexpected weather, tight spaces, unique family dynamics, low light, and high emotions. My job is to handle all of that so you do not have to.
I approach wedding photography with equal parts artistry and experience. Knowing when to step in and provide guidance and direction and when to step back and let moments unfold naturally is something that only comes from years of being trusted with once-in-a-lifetime days.
While your wedding day is filled with beautiful details, the photographs are what remain long after the celebration ends. They become the memories you return to, the images you share with future generations, and the moments that bring you right back to how it all felt. The goal of an SMP wedding is to document your day in a way that feels elevated, timeless, and true to you and your love.
When you hire Sarah Mackenzie Photography as your wedding photographer, you are not just hiring someone to take photos. You are hiring experience, preparation, and peace of mind.

Rest assured that your gallery (and entire day!) will be stunning, regardless of what the forecast holds. My priority is your peace of mind and the integrity of your photos.
I have experience shooting in nearly every environmental condition; from the harshest midday sun, to the deepest cloud cover to snow, wind and even those Tennessee tornadoes.
Whether we are chasing sunset or moving the entire celebration indoors to stay dry, I am highly specialized in both natural and professional studio lighting. If we have to pivot inside from start to finish, I have the gear and the expertise to create beautiful, high-end imagery in any setting, weather or lighting.
Rain or shine, my goal is to ensure you never have to worry about the light I’ll be there to make sure the results are nothing short of breathtaking.
-
Absolutely. As we all know, technology can be a blessing and a curse, so I always shoot with dual-slot cameras (meaning your photos are backed up instantly to two separate cards) and carry a full set of professional backup gear. Your memories are far too important to leave to anything to chance!
-
Absolutely! We’ll build you a custom photo-timeline based on the one you create with your planner to ensure we prioritize the moments that matter most to you. On our final call before the wedding, we’ll walk through the day minute by minute to make sure everyone is on the same page and there is plenty of time for everything you need and I am here for you throughout the entire planning process to answer any timeline related questions you may have.
-
I definitely have a standard checklist of 'must-have' moments that I will always take as well as family formals we’ll coordinate beforehand, but beyond that, I prioritize capturing the day as it naturally unfolds. This allows me to focus on the raw, unscripted moments and emotions that make your wedding special.
-
Yes! When you book with me, you are booking my specific eye, direction, personality, and expertise. I personally shoot and edit every wedding myself (no ai here😉) and put the utmost care and meticulousness into the entire process to ensure your experience and gallery matches the signature style you see on my website.
-
Absolutely! While you do have print rights and are not required to order through me, your online gallery is connected to a professional-grade print lab, making it easy to order everything from high-end gift prints to museum-quality canvases. I also offer custom-designed heirloom albums for those who want a physical legacy piece to pass down and will handle all the hands-on, start-to-finish designing and ordering.
