About Sara Bowdler Photography, LLC

Sara Bowdler Photography, LLC

Photographer

A Southern Illinois native who started my photography journey near the mountains of Colorado who has found myself whisked away by the windy city of Chicago, in love with preserving the love of others. I travel all over (take me to the Bahamas or Europe please!) & also serve the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado & Utah.

I care deeply about each of my couples & love being their friend even more than I love being their photographer! I love keeping in touch even after the celebration & getting to experience your life updates! This business runs on true connections (& Starbucks)!

    Sara was a joy to work with – a true creative partner from start to finish. She is warm, organized, and asks great questions. The quality of Sara's work was extraordinary. Our photos came out looking natural, personal, crisp, bright, and perfectly edited. Sara's sweet and bubbly energy made us enjoy our shoot even more. Don't think, just book! Sara is the one!

    From the moment we met Sara, we knew she was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Her warm and professional demeanor instantly put us at ease, and as we got to know her better, we felt like we were working with a dear friend rather than just a business vendor. Sara's meticulous attention to detail and creative eye were evident throughout the process - she listened intently to our vision and even suggested ideas we hadn't considered that ended up being some of our favorite photos. On the day of the wedding, Sara's adaptability and thoughtfulness truly shone through. When I forgot to include a group for family photos, she seamlessly adjusted the schedule and executed everything flawlessly, all while making sure I felt confident and beautiful. Sara's genuine excitement and "girls girl" personality made the entire experience a joy, and we only wish we had the chance to work with her on more than just our wedding day. We cannot recommend Sara Bowdler Photography highly enough - she is a true professional and a wonderful person to have by your side on one of the most important days of your life.

    I planned my wedding in 6 months, and I wanted to make sure I had quality for a reasonable price. After hours of searching and lots of inquires, I came across Sara’s Instagram. After our phone call, we meshed so I signed the contract and never looked back. My engagement and wedding photos turned out STUNNING and I get so many compliments on them. I’ve referred multiple people to her and for good reason. She’s such great photographer that I just used her for my maternity shoot :) she listens to what you’re looking for a gives you just that and sprinkles a little extra magic on top. On top of her skill, she’s such an amicable woman as well.

    We had an amazing experience working with Sara Bowdler as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning, she was incredibly personable and easy to be around—she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Sara was also organized and professional throughout the entire process. She listened closely to our style preferences and the kinds of shots we wanted, and she truly delivered. We felt confident going into the big day knowing she had everything covered. She also did an incredible job with our engagement photos, which gave us a great opportunity to get to know her and her style beforehand. We couldn’t be happier with how both the engagement and wedding photos turned out—they perfectly capture the joy of our big moments. We highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a talented, thoughtful, and easygoing photographer!
