Candid Bridal Portrait by Ottawa Wedding Photographer Sara.

Sara Atteby – Documentary Wedding Photographer based in Ottawa.

You want to be fully present on your wedding day — not curating moments, just living them. You need a photographer you can trust to see it all, feel it all, and document it with care and honesty. This event will be a collision of past and future, a snapshot of who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Sara is a seasoned photographer who doesn’t flinch from the truth — the tears, the joy, the unscripted chaos. She will capture not just moments, but the silent narratives that unfold within them – your story.

She is professional, thoughtful in her work, and very talented. We will 100% be using her services again!

Sara captured our wedding day beautifully! We could not have been happier with not only the quality, quantity and style of the photos but her discretion at getting the most wonderful shots of people who don’t usually enjoy being photographed. We’ve got so many amazing memories and would recommend Sara to anyone wanting natural style photographs. We found her calm and easy to liaise with and she just knew what we wanted.

About Your Wedding Photographer.

I am ‘Photographer Sara’. Apart from documenting weddings, events, and people in general in Ottawa and beyond, you can find me creating abstract ink drawings, spending time visiting art galleries, walking our giant Great Pyrenees, and making our house look like a Wabi-sabi / Bauhaus exhibition.

Originally from Australia, my journey has taken me through Germany, Belgium, and the UK before I set down roots in Ottawa, Canada in 2022 with my husband and three children. Each place has shaped my eye for storytelling and my passion for capturing life’s fleeting moments. I can’t wait to help tell your story, but first, here’s a little more of mine…

Learn more about Sara

My husband and I were looking for a documentary-style photographer to capture as many candid moments and “behind-the-scenes” type shots of us in our natural state and we struck gold with Sara! She immediately set up a meet and greet to get to know us and asked lots of questions to best understand our vision. We felt very heard from the onset…She really understood the assignment. Whether it was tearful moments during our private vows, dancing and laughing at the Experimental Farm, shots of our matching car stuffies while we drove around town, or stopping for gelato at our favourite Little Italy spot, she got all of it and more! I would 100% work with Sara again and am so grateful to have forever memories of this perfect day.
