About Hawthorn Photography

Hawthorn Photography

Photographer & Owner

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/they), a wedding photographer based in the Adirondacks of New York. I photograph weddings with care, intention, and a deep respect for the moments that matter most for couples of all identities and love stories.

I bring a calm, supportive presence to every wedding, blending documentary storytelling with gentle guidance so your photos feel natural and unforced. With a technical background and an intuitive eye for composition, I create images that are both emotional and refined. I photograph with care, focusing on the quiet, meaningful moments just as much as the big ones.

    10 stars!! Cannot recommend enough!

    Hawthorn Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the start, their communication style was easy, respectful and direct, which made planning the photography coverage a breeze. On the day of the wedding, Sarah from Hawthorn Photography was a calming presence, capturing genuine, fun and light-hearted moments throughout the celebration. My husband, who isn't usually one for photos, was quickly put at ease by Sarah's friendly demeanor, and we ended up with amazing pictures that truly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the quality of Hawthorn Photography's work and the exceptional value they provided. Highly recommended!

    Sarah and Drew are the best!!!

    Hawthorn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Sarah and Drew were so easy to talk to and we felt like we connected with them very quickly. They are very professional but do not make you feel pressured at all - Sarah has great ideas and really hypes you up throughout the process. Drew always found creative ways to shoot the day and Sarah was there for me every step of the way, even when I needed quick help with my dress. Sarah is so dependable and the pictures they captured showcase both of their talents and our love so well. I'd pick Hawthorn Photography for photos for every occasion and in every lifetime!

    We can't say enough good things about Sarah! Her presence on wedding day was calm and supportive. She made us feel very comfortable and we're so pleased with how beautifully she captured our day! She clearly has experience photographing all different types of couples and weddings (traditional and not). She was flexible, gave us out of towners helpful suggestions, and had our first peak pics back to us the next day! Definitely hire her!

    Where do I even begin? I knew Sarah was special from the very first moment I met her. (She and Drew love Lord of the Rings just as much as my husband and I. Our entire wedding was LOTR themed 😜) She was unbelievably kind and welcoming, inviting my husband, Scott, and me into her and her partner Drew’s home for dinner. That evening gave us the chance to thoughtfully walk through our wedding day, iron out details, and talk through timing and the types of photos that mattered most to us. From the start, her passion for photography—and for truly getting to know her couples—was so evident. I arrived that night confident she would take great care of us, but I left with something even more meaningful: a new friend. On our wedding day, Sarah supported me in more ways than she probably even realizes. She helped keep me calm, shared in the joy of our special day, and was there whenever I needed her. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine presence make her an incredible person, and her ability to find and capture beautiful, meaningful moments is what makes her such an exceptional photographer. And we can’t forget Drew. He was right there in the mix, finding unique angles and capturing special moments. Together, they gave us memories that will truly last a lifetime. Thanks to our gallery, we’re able to relive our wedding day again and again. I wish Sarah and Drew nothing but continued success. Don’t miss the opportunity and privilege of having them document your wedding or any special moment—they truly go above and beyond. I’m so incredibly grateful they were there, and I’m even more thankful to know them.


Yes! My husband is my second shooter! :)
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 6-8 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive an email with a link for a gallery with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
