Sara Vars Photography

I’m Sara, and I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer serving the Maryland, DC, and Virginia regions since 2006. My goal is for you to be fully present during the happiest time of your life while I document your story with a natural, photojournalistic style. Most days, you’ll find me in hiking boots with a coffee in hand, but on weekends, I’m running across the DMV to capture the candid moments and soulful details you’ve poured your heart into. I’ve worked through every season and venue over the last 16 years, ensuring every memory is preserved in timeless, high-resolution imagery.

What sets me apart is my commitment to a stress-free experience that prioritizes authentic emotion. I believe in a "pose but not impose" philosophy—capturing the day as it unfolds without inventing moments. For engagement shoots, I’ll guide you to a place you love and help you feel comfortable on camera so the real "you" shines through. On your wedding day, I act as an expert guide, directing family portraits with ease while letting you lead the way. If you want a seasoned pro who values your comfort and delivers honest, soulful art, let’s talk!
