Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!
We are Sarah and Ben Collier, luxury wedding photographers with an exquisite eye for timeless portraiture and attention to the smallest details. With 15 years of experience photographing weddings together, we have a relaxed documentary and fine art approach culminating in collections of vibrant, stylish images that stun our clients with beauty and authenticity. Our ability to work seamlessly together makes us a powerhouse wedding photography team that our clients rave about before they even see a single photo.
When I was little, my Aunt and Uncle's house burned down. I will never forget the smell and horror of that day. Thankfully nobody was hurt, but my Uncle had a very close call because of the one thing he went into the burning house to save……their wedding photos, the only thing that was truly irreplaceable. He barely escaped with his life, fighting through curtains engulfed in flames to get out the window just in the nick of time.
Today we have digital clouds and email accounts to hold our photos, but it doesn't make them any less precious.
Who you hire as your wedding photographer really matters.
Wedding photographs mark the start of the most important decision of your life, the biggest adventure, the most life altering thing you will ever do. They're a reminder of the love and commitment you feel on that day, and those of us who have been a little or a lot farther on this marriage road KNOW we need those reminders sometimes.
Marriage is a commitment. A promise. A sacred agreement. Wedding photos are witness to that promise, gently overseeing your life together from the wall or the coffee table, an ever present whisper that you can weather whatever storm life throws at you as long as you do it together.
Ben and I are passionate about not just giving our couples beautiful, irreplaceable wedding photos they'll cherish for the rest of their lives, we're also passionate about giving them tools to make sure that journey continues in love no matter what.
Our clients love planning beautiful, relaxed weddings with an experienced team of wedding planners and wedding florists. Details that speak to their unique relationship and love for each other are important in the wedding planning process, and these details are what excite us the most about working with them.
We live in North Carolina and photograph weddings anywhere in the world. Most of our weddings take us to beautiful new places which is why we love being destination wedding photographers.
My Inspiration
I’m endlessly inspired by nature and old world architecture. Oceans and mountains inspire me equally, and I seek to be surrounded by flowers wherever I can find them. I’ve done quite a lot of professional wedding floral design and am currently trying to grow my own wild flower gardens.
I have always been obsessed with beauty. I look for it in little ways every day and make it a priority wherever I live. Whenever we’ve moved to a new place the very first thing I do is put wall hangings and curtains up to make sure we don’t go a minute without looking at something beautiful in our new place.
The only thing I’ve ever wanted to do with my life since I was little is travel the world. I’ve been to many countries, but my favorite thus far is Italy, because they are also obsessed with beauty in the smallest ways there and make it a priority in every day life. I bring all of these personal obsessions into my photographic approach, creating images that inspire and evoke beautiful emotions.
