“As someone with a critical eye for photography, choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important vendor decisions we made. We spent a lot of time researching photographers, and from our first interactions with Sabina, we knew she was the perfect fit for documenting our wedding.
On our wedding day, I was immediately impressed by her professionalism and her unobtrusive yet comforting presence. She seemed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive, allowing us and our guests to be fully present while she documented the day.
Sabina works with a hybrid digital and film setup, and her equipment alone is impressive- she arrives prepared for anything. More importantly, she has an incredible eye for storytelling. She excelled at capturing organic, candid moments that truly make you feel like you were there. Looking through our gallery, I was struck by how many small quirks, expressions, and interactions she noticed and preserved. She captured not just what happened, but who our loved ones are. Her images are also artfully composed in a way that feels effortless and genuine. It was clear to me that she did not rely on heavy editing to create beautiful photographs; instead, the quality of the images is a testament to her skill behind the camera and her ability to identify flattering angles, her masterful use of light, meaningful compositions, and natural poses in the moment.
One of my favorite memories from the day actually came from waiting out some rain before the ceremony, she checked in to see whether we would prefer that she stay with us or head to the tent to capture detail shots. We asked her to stay, and she ended up documenting some of the sweetest, quietest moments before the ceremony—photos that we now treasure. That moment really exemplified her instinct for knowing what matters.
It rained on our wedding, and so our thought out wedding plan changed rapidly throughout the day as we adjusted to the weather and she effortlessly supported us through the day to make sure rain or shine all of the moments we wanted were captured.
While we didn't have a religious component to our ceremony, it was clear from the way she approached every aspect of the day that she would document any meaningful tradition, religious or otherwise, with great care, respect, and skill.
When my husband and I received our sneak peeks, we had an absolute blast going through them together. We were laughing, reminiscing, and literally gasping at some of the images. The photos felt authentic, emotional, and beautifully crafted, and they immediately transported us back to those moments.
Sabina is a truly gifted photographer with a remarkable ability to tell a story through her images. Her talent, professionalism, and thoughtful approach made us feel completely at ease, and the resulting photographs are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend When We Dance highly enough for a wedding or special event.”
