About Sarah James Photography

Sarah James

Lead Photographer & Artist

My name is Sarah James Middleton, and I am a Wedding and Boudoir Photographer located in the DMV area. My husband, Jack, and I shoot as a team to capture your day & the authentic energy of your guests & union. Using film and digital photography, we strive to capture your moments with candid authenticity and true to life colors. We believe in giving you the full package with all of the colors and emotion of your day.

A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, I have spent the past few years working in weddings in Baltimore and beyond; shooting over 300 weddings in the 7 years since becoming a full time wedding photographer. My work is a mix of styles. I tend to lean towards editorial & timeless for portraits and then stepping into a more documentary role for the ceremony and reception. I shoot both 35mm film and digital photos.

    My wife and I met Sarah in 2024 at a venue open house. We immediately loved her fashion and energy, but most of all her photography. We were thrilled to see film as a part of her package. We booked for a January 2026 wedding and as the days passed by we were getting increasingly excited. Before the wedding, Sarah was very proactive in communicating the wedding timeline, style wishes, and any other important info. The day of the wedding could not have been more flawless. Sarah and her husband worked like a well-oiled machine and gave clear directions to family and friends. My wife and I are SO happy with the photos from the wedding. I believe Sarah really captured how special our day was. If you have the chance, book with Sarah. In recent years her business has exploded, and for absolutely good reason!

From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, clear, and responsive, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly stunning - their photos captured the beauty and emotion of our special day with an amazing clarity and vision. They clearly understood our vision for the day and provided wonderful direction that helped us feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera, avoiding any awkward poses. Sarah was also genuinely kind and passionate, adding to the positive experience. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come. We highly recommend Sarah James Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.
