Tidal Marsh Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the very first interaction, Sarah and her team demonstrated a professional, timely, and organized communication style that put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work is truly exceptional - sharp, timeless, creative, and purposeful. Sarah captured all of the little details of our special day perfectly, from the rings and invitation to the final kiss. When the rain continued to fall, Sarah's clear umbrellas became the perfect prop in some of our favorite wedding photos. I look at the photos she took every day, as they hang in our entryway for everyone to see. I am so glad we chose Tidal Marsh Photography - their talent and attention to detail made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Hi, I’m Sarah, the photographer behind Booth Creative Co., a Wilmington, North Carolina wedding photographer serving couples across North Carolina and beyond. I believe wedding photos should feel like you. The quiet in-between moments, the laughter with your favorite people, the unexpected emotions, and the timeless portraits you and your family will treasure for years. My approach blends documentary storytelling with classic, intentional portraiture. Whether your celebration is laid-back and spontaneous or more traditional and structured, I adapt to what matters most and create honest images that reflect the true feeling of your day.

We couldn’t be happier with Sarah’s work. We switched things up and did a one year celebration of marriage party since we got married at the courthouse. I was worried I was going to make things difficult not being an actual wedding but from the very beginning her communication was confident, clear, and easy she made us feel so comfortable! The quality of her work is truly amazing, the end result is a stunning collection of images that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Booth Creative Co. LLC to any couple planning their wedding!

We had a great experience working with Jade Events and Co. Kayla was our day of coordinator (which really was like month-of assistance plus day-of coordination). From our first conversation, she gave great guidance, was very organized and thoughtful. Even though I was pretty organized myself, I was constantly worried about missing something obvious because wedding planning was so foreign to me. She helped talk through our random questions and find solutions (including on the day). She seemed a little quiet/nervous handling some of our more bold family members but ultimately did well! Kayla also worked seamlessly with our other vendors. She was kind and overall a delight to work with!

Where do I even begin?! Hiring Melissa and the Knot Too Shabby Team as our wedding planner was hands down one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. We got married in April 2026, and I truly cannot imagine our wedding day without them! From the very beginning, Melissa made us feel supported, organized, and completely at ease. Planning a wedding can (and will!) feel overwhelming, but she somehow made the entire process enjoyable. She thought of every little detail, answered every question we had, and always made us feel like we were her top priority! On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present because I knew Melissa had everything under control. Every vendor was exactly where they needed to be, the timeline ran seamlessly, and if anything unexpected happened, I never knew about it because she handled everything behind the scenes. That peace of mind is something you simply can't put a price on. Beyond being an incredible planner, Melissa is such a kind and genuine person. She truly cares about her couples and pours her heart into making sure your wedding day is everything you've dreamed of and more. Looking back on our wedding, everything felt effortless - and that's because Melissa worked tirelessly to make it that way. We were able to soak in every moment with our family and friends without worrying about a single thing, and that is a gift we'll always be grateful for. If you're considering hiring Melissa, PLEASE PLEASE don't hesitate. We are forever thankful for everything she did to make our wedding absolutely perfect, and we truly couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Melissa, for giving us the most incredible day and memories we'll cherish for the rest of our lives!

Whether you’re planning a a coastal celebration, romantic mountain wedding, or an intimate elopement, I’d love to help capture your story!

I never had any doubts when choosing Chris to be our photographer. Chris is very authentic, professional, great with communication, and delivers great work. While Chris definitely makes you feel comfortable being photographed he is also amazing at capturing the raw moments. Moments during our big day I wanted to savor he was already steps ahead saving the memories. After that I knew he would not miss anything. The images Chris captured for us will be something we treasure always!

Congratulations!! What an exciting time in your life! I am truly honored that you have taken then time to consider me as your wedding photographer. Here's some fun facts about me... I am obsessed with sunsets, pickles are my favorite food, and espresso and tequila are my favorite drinks! I'm a mom of 3 teenagers, I have photographed a living president, and I've always lived close to water, but the mountains are my favorite place! Frank Sinatra is my favorite singer, I've acted in a movie, and I've watched every Marvel movie in chronological order. My biggest bucket list item is to travel the world and photograph in other countries!

An absolute dream to work with! Getting pictures taken can be kind of awkward sometimes, and she does an awesome job putting you at ease and guiding you right into an amazing shot! Can’t say enough good things!

Kennedy was a joy to work with for my engagement session! she made sure to explain the entire process thoroughly and was very upbeat and friendly. She helped show us how to pose, while also allowing us to just be ourselves. I think that Kennedy did a fantastic job and really captured who my fiancé and I are within our relationship! I would definitely recommend her to everyone, as well as use her for my future photography needs. 10/10.
