About When We Dance
When We Dance
Time and time again I am matched with clients (often turned friends) that inspire me in such a way I feel my work is elevated to new heights. I am constantly reminded of the nuance and beauty of our human experience by your kind invitation to photograph your wedding days and celebrations. I really try to make a point of being perceptive and imaginative so I can let your spirit shine. It’s hard for me to approach this work by a template therefore you won’t really see that from me. My humble wish is to capture history for you and facilitate your presence in your celebration with unbridled joy. It’s a tender thing, this work and my honor.
In me you will find a firm believer in treating others how you want to be treated, that this life is about cultivating what is dearest in our hearts and that the building of bridges between people is what inspires each day. I treat my clients with warmth and friendliness in order to build trust and calm during lifes most emotionally vulnerable moments all while striving for authentic storytelling. My passion is for the stories that make up our collective experience on this planet. I warmly welcome clients of all expressions and forms.

Stunning photos, unbeatable vibes
Working with Sabina was one of the best parts of our wedding. She was personable, genuine, and kind throughout the process, and the photos exceeded our expectations. We booked a package that included an engagement shoot. We chose a spot in downtown Philly and Sabina arrived more than prepared. She had a plan for which streets to go to, where the light would be best, etc. She made us feel very comfortable and beautiful together. We were obsessed with how the photos came out and ended up using some of these photos for our wedding invitations. We knew after this that Sabina was definitely the right choice for our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Sabina was communicative and organized. She had a comprehensive form that we filled out about a month out with details about desired family photos, specific shot inspiration, timeline, etc. We then met with her and she confirmed all of the information directly with us. Day of, Sabina showed up on time and prepared. She was a pleasure to spend time with and we chatted and laughed together as she took our couple portraits. She has great vibes and we received multiple positive comments about Sabina from guests. At the venue, she directed the family portraits and bridal party shots with efficiency and organization. She came and found us at golden hour to check whether we wanted to escape for a few minutes for more photos outdoors (which we did!). She was very unobtrusive while capturing important moments from the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing during the reception. As planned in advance, she checked with us before leaving at the end of her hours. We were beyond happy with the day-of experience, even before seeing any of the photos. We received a preview gallery of photos shortly after our wedding and then the rest of the film photography very soon after. We don't have all our photos back yet but the preview and film photos are incredible and we couldn't be happier. We would wholeheartedly recommend Sabina to anyone who wants a mix of great candids and portraits, as well as a very genuine human connection with their photographer. We love Sabina!

absolutely fantastic!
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.

The absolute best!!
Sabina is SO talented AND so lovely of a person - the perfect combination for a wedding photographer. She made us feel so at ease while conscientiously capturing both the formal must-have photos and the fun, spontaneous, candid moments. She even had 200 previews to us by noon the next day! We're so obsessed with how she captured the day - her photos instantly transport us back to the magic of our wedding. We would recommend her highly!

During the wedding weekend, one of the vendors you will spend the most time with is your photographer, and I’m so grateful our photographer was Sabina. Sabina is so calm, fun and game for anything. She interacted with our guests so beautifully and made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted while still enjoying our weekend. We wanted a photographer who would capture the activity and colors of our weekend, and who specialized in more candid pictures. We have only received the teaser album, but so far, the photos are just incredible. We are so excited to see the film photographs Sabina took too.
