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!

Tyler and Jonathan at Camp Highlander

SO very excited to share this special wedding day with you! Tyler and Jonathan were married Aug. 16 at Camp Highlander just outside of Asheville. What a perfect setting for a wedding weekend! All their friends and family stayed on site in the cabins (just like campers), participated in camp activities like the blob, climbing, archery, and canoeing, and partied the night away together. My assistant photographer, Emily, and I headed out to camp to document all the festivities and were immediately swept up in the spirit of the weekend. Here are some of my favorites from this very special wedding day!

Guests participated in camp activities all day

WHAT A FUN WEDDING DAY!!!! All the love and happiness in the world to Tyler and Jonathan in their future together! BIG thanks to my assistant photographer, Emily, seen below photographing camp fun!
