I'm a history & wildlife lover
Happiest near wild sea's & heather covered mountains
I'm a lover of adventure, wild, rugged and unkempt adventure.
I love hiking, although I'm terrified of heights. I love beer, but get drunk after one pint. And I love the Irish language, though I can't speak it. I collect books to rest my coffee cups on & wait until the movie is out to read them.
But what I really love is having a laugh, fun & being a little wild.
who I do, what I do!
who I do, what I do!
Why I take photos and all that jazz......
Why I take photos and all that jazz......
As a single parent, photography has been my solace, a place where I can switch off and get lost in a moment.
And even though I have yet to have my own happy ending, I am a die-hard romantic, which is why I adore my 'job' (or my calling)
I love the chaos of life.
And all that love.
So much love, frozen in time.
Photography fills my cup.
My big emotional cup.
Right up to the brim.
And I couldn't think of anything nicer!

Things that make unreasonably happy
- Mountains
- Sea swims in warm rain
- Moss, fecking love the stuff. It's just so fluffy
- Dogs & Donkeys
- Old man pubs with carpets & questionable smells
- Finding money in my pocket
- Lichen-covered stone walls
- Tunnocks tea cakes
- Live music & anyone who can play an instrument
- Old people with lots of smile lines & wrinkly hands
- Paintings with lots of people, doing lots of things (see Marriage of Strongbow and Aoife)
- Winds so wild they steal your breath away
- Linger by the Cranberries
- Remembering what I walked into the room for
I wear my heart upon my sleeve, so expect goosebumps when you put on your dress, tears at your vows & all of those emotions to be included in your wedding photos.
My Name is Sarah Kate, that's Sarah to you

Let me shoot you.....I promise it won't hurt!
Let me shoot you.....I promise it won't hurt!
When you book me, you gain a friend!
Albeit a socially awkward, slightly inappropriate friend, but hey, we can't all be perfect!
I really love getting to know people, knowing what makes them tick, their quirky little habits and cute idiosyncrasies.
And I really love, (my kids hate me for this) being really, really weird!
So be prepared to meet an introverted photographer with a passion for people, and if you're thinking, 'that makes no sense?'
It will when you meet me.

My three crazy kids and my whole world!
Wild, unkempt, spirited & free
My life isn't perfect by any means; it's not picture-perfect or Insta-worthy.
It's a little crazy, unkempt, wild and unruly, but I'm so comfortable in that.
What do I have? Three gorgeous, kind kids, my health, a job I adore,
and oodles of love.
And sure, look it, at the end of the day,
That's all that really matters, right?
My world revolves around my wildlings.
The adventures we have.
And the mess we create together.

What my clients are sayin' 5 star reviews
Our wedding photos are beyond magical. Every tearful, hilarious, intimate, and joyous moment was captured. From getting ready in the morning, to the tiny details of the preparations, our first look & ceremony, and the speeches & mingling at the drinks reception. It's like having a re-run of the day laid out in front of you in the most gorgeously presented way. These photos are out of this world stunning, and keep sakes that we are beyond grateful to have. Thank you for everything Sarah, you are truly talent
We're so happy with the photos Sarah Kate took of our wedding day. She was wonderful to work with, made everyone feel at ease, and took some incredible, natural photos of us and our family. Thank you for capturing all the special moments!
