Sarah Rittenour Photography

I've never been much for tradition, so you can imagine weddings were never really my "thing" when I first picked up a camera. Even in terms of photography, I've always admired the unconventional. Photographers like Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, and David LaChapelle drew me in because they did something just a little odd and different. They're also amazing storytellers in their own unique ways. The storytelling aspect of photography is actually what lead me into shooting weddings. While I still wouldn't call myself a "wedding person," I have discovered that the wedding industry has been evolving away from the old cookie-cutter format and that is what keeps me doing what I do. My favorite weddings are the ones where you and your partner's personalities show throughout the day rather than getting lost in all the things you "have" to do. I love being part of a day filled with so much love and excitement and what I aim to do is find you in all of it. Because weddings aren't about fitting into a mold anymore - they're about you getting to celebrate your love. So, if you have an epic adventure you'd like me to document, open that Contact page, and send me a message. I'd love to see what we can do together!
