Sarah Whitmeyer Photography Blog bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

My love of photography and story-telling began as early as my first photography class in the 8th Grade (Thanks Mr. Hubbard!). I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 2005 with a BA in Photojournalism and have since been working as a photographer in the beautiful city of Asheville, NC. I specialize in photojournalistic wedding coverage and have been an award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA) since 2008.

True to my journalism training, I like to capture the energy and emotions during a wedding day. I am drawn to classic images that tell a story and those that show the love between two people whether it's a father and his daughter, life-long friends, or two people in love. I am inspired by weddings because I see these love-filled moments everywhere I turn my head.

I truly love people and love my job. I would be honored to hear from you and to help you tell your story. Thanks for viewing my photography!

Wow! Those pix are beautiful. It makes me wish I was at the wedding. Thanks to Mom Blake for sharing them with me. I never had the pleasure of meeting Chad or Ryan,but I always heard about them from Mom Blake. Great job.

I don't think I have ever seen such beautiful wedding photos or experienced such a fairytale wedding. These photos capture that feeling so wonderfully. Not only are Chad and Shawnnah photogenic and creative, but Sarah did such an awesome job of capturing their love and their special day on film. And who cares what the weather does?!! I don't think these pictures could have been more beautiful. They belong in a magazine! Thanks for allowing me to be part of the whole experience.
Love, Mawgwet

What a beautiful wedding that you have captured and shared! Thank you Nancy "Mom" Blake for sharing these! I had the awesome priviledge to meet Shawwna at her shower this summer and you could tell by talking with her how much she loves Chad! So happy for the two of them! Wish I could have been there! I was there in thought and prayer! As a photographer, you have captured some of the most precious moments I have ever seen. My sister is a photographer on the NC coast. I can't wait to share this blog with her.

Sarah and G;
It is very hard for me to put into words the overwhelming feeling that i feel when i see these pictures and how you captured "the moments" Each and everyone of them are truly magazine quailty, i have heard that from everyone. The fact that you got these out to us so quickly was one of the best surprises, esp after traveling home for 2 days and being sooo sad everything was over. Your captions on each picture is just unreal. I am so honored that you were with us from the beginning of the wedding day until the end, we had so much fun with you! Like I said in my message to you, any potential clients that are interviewing you I WANT THEM TO CALL ME! You have my number. Thank you sooo much for everything!!! Lori Stitt
