I’m Sarah—a Queer elopement photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. I’m passionate about making the wedding industry a more welcoming & inclusive place and I strive to empower couples to create a wedding day that sounds both affirming and fun for them! After getting to know you and what you’re envisioning, I offer personalized suggestions for locations & activities that I think would be a good fit.

Regardless of if you’re more into simply snuggling up in a cabin and enjoying a fire or if you’d prefer doing a full-day hike to get you to an epic viewpoint, I’m here to help you craft the perfect elopement day for you.

Outside of photographing weddings and elopements, you can find me hiking, foraging for wild plants & mushrooms, gardening, cooking for my friends, and traveling as often as I can! I’m a big dork— full of enthusiasm for each elopement I get to be part of and excited to hear about everything you have in mind for the day!

We literally planned our wedding around Sarah’s availability - that’s how good she is!! Sarah is magic behind the lens. She was so incredibly easy to work with, felt like a long time friend, and so perfectly captured the amazing candid moments and breathtaking portraits. My partner usually hates being in front of a camera, but he commented how easy and comfortable she made it. The photos are absolutely stunning. We had an intimate home wedding with just our closest family members, and she captured the intimacy, the feeling of home, and the love between all of us so well. One unexpected skill she brought was her insight while we were planning the day. There were a couple moments where we asked her thoughts on where/how to do things, and her guidance was so helpful and exactly in line with how we imagined our day. She understands that weddings should be a celebration of you and your partner and she quickly picked up on who we were and encouraged it in her advice and captured it so well in the photos. In addition to all of the above, it was a nonnegotiable for us to support someone committed to serving all types of people, and someone who actually lives out their values. After following her work for years, I knew Sarah not only serves people across many spectrums (gender/sexuality, race, religious belief, etc.), but she has actually developed resources for other wedding vendors on how to better serve LGBTQ+ couples, and actively discusses her commitment to anti-racism and building a more equitable world. On a personal level, we definitely did not want a traditional wedding with accentuation of gender roles, and we felt completely comfortable being ourselves and making the ceremony our own with Sarah. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Sarah. She was professional, warm, and organized. She is incredible at capturing love and joy, as her work so clearly shows. And we got our pictures back so quickly during one of the busiest years of weddings! Could not recommend her more highly!

Having Sarah as our wedding/elopement photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our day. After viewing her work and the initial contact with her our excitement was high because we knew we'd found someone special, and somehow she exceeded that initial excitement a million times over. She helped us choose our venue and gave us a run down of all these spectacular places for photos with spaces that were perfect for us. She created a time line that worked beautifully from ceremony start to final pictures; we didn't feel rushed or stressed because Sarah was there making sure everything went off without a hitch. When she arrived at our cabin she went to work like an expert detective discovering all these gorgeous spots for pictures (even rearranging furniture to create perfect areas!). Her eye for what was going to photograph the very best never failed. Her intuitiveness is so impressive, she knew when we needed her wonderful infectious energy and other times she was capturing moments like a thief in the night you never knew was there. So many times looking through our photos we wondered when did she get this shot, where was she even standing to get that angle? She was everywhere at once in the best way. She truly amplified the joy of the day. When we were arriving to a secondary location for sunset pictures she crested the hill just before us and burst out in excitement at how beautiful it was. Having someone who is that overjoyed and invested in your images was so amazing. You can tell she truly loves what she does and her skill is out of this world. Every contact with her from planning to image processing was prompt and thorough. Our previews and then our gallery arrived ahead of schedule. And oh my goodness the pictures! The gallery she presented us captured every single moment of the day in stunning detail. Her work behind the camera and her phenomenal editing produced some of the most magical pictures I have ever seen. All of the incredible emotions of the day I can see reflected in Sarah's work. And that sunset I mentioned, well you'd have to see these images to believe it, they're that good. I still can't believe looking through the gallery that these are OUR wedding photos! If you choose Sarah you're going to get a photographer who goes above and beyond, makes your day run smooth, is a joy to be around, and then at the end of it get the most beautiful pictures you've ever had taken! She is an immense talent and an awesome person that we would trust again and again to deliver! She's truly unmatched and her photographs will be something you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Ridiculously amazing. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Sarah exceeded every single expectation we had and then some. We chose her because we loved her journalistic style, but also because she photographed interracial couples exceptionally well. Our engagement session took place right after I'd given birth and we had SO much fun and felt extremely comfortable with our decision. Sarah is phenomenal and we have no idea how she was able to capture so much, and so seamlessly. Thank you thank you thank you for enriching this experience for us. She's worth every dollar and then some. Treat yourself and BOOK HER NOW .

10/5 stars, truly. We couldn't recommend Sarah enough. Our wedding took place in our first home during the winter with a small number of guests. We worried a photographer would stick out against familiar faces, but we were so wrong! Sarah felt like another guest and she was wonderful to work with. Photos that were her idea ended up being some of our favorites. She captured the warmth and happiness that existed that night, and we couldn't be more grateful. Her FAQ sheet mentioned the words "photo ninja" and I would have to agree 100%. She's efficient, kind, and professional.

While searching for a wedding photographer my wife and I were looking for someone who: • did more documentary-style photography • was really able to capture emotion in the candid moments • and could deliver on some creative shots. Sarah Katherine Davis did not disappoint and met all of this criteria. When we first met Sarah for our engagement session we knew we had made the right decision. She was completely fan-girling over the greenhouse that we had our photos taken in. Her enthusiasm made us laugh and feel incredibly comfortable with her. Leading up to the wedding Sarah was incredibly responsive to our emails/texts. She worked with our coordinator on a timeline and made the whole planning process easy! The day of the wedding was also incredible of course. We were happy that Sarah was a part of our day. Not only were we excited to see the photos she would capture, but her presence at the first look, ceremony and reception was just great. She is so friendly and likable that everyone felt comfortable to be themselves! Lastly, the turn around was INSANE. We got our photos back around 3 weeks after the wedding, and we were so impressed with what she captured. We will truly treasure each photo for the rest of our lives! I would highly recommend Sarah Katherine Davis to anyone looking for a friendly, creative, talented photographer!
