About Sarah Mae
I’m Sarah Mae Hess, and I love helping others feel relaxed, comfortable, and having fun while taking pictures.
​
Not to brag, but I’m definitely someone you want to have around on your wedding day.
The wedding process can be stressful, but I promise that when we’re together, it’ll feel more like old friends hanging out than a photoshoot. I’m a naturally sunny person who’s always smiling and cracking jokes, which makes capturing natural wedding day portraits my superpower.
​
As you'll come to learn by speaking with me or visiting my social media pages, family is very important to me. I want your family to feel cared for on your big day which is why I place such a big emphasis on learning everyone's names before the Wedding and why I strive to make sure every individual feels comfortable AND beautiful while getting their pictures taken. I'll take care of your loved ones, just like I would my own family.
FUN FACTS ABOUT SARAH MAE
-
My husband (who grew up in Los Angeles County), and I met each other in Utah while attending a Religious Studies class at Utah Valley University. 8 months later we got married in the Timpanogus Utah Temple. (it is a temple that belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saint aka Mormons). This last August we celebrated our 12th year of marriage!

While at University I studied Behavioral Science, specifically Anthropology. Oh man, if you ever want me to talk your ear off it will be about the studies of modern culture! It is partly why I love to travel to new places - the Anthropologist in me just loves to learn and experience how others live!
​
-
I have 5 children (3 biological, and 2 adopted). Life with so many little ones is not without it's hair-pulling moments, but they each bring me so much joy!

-
I don't drink coffee or alcohol, but I do have a weakness for dessert. I haven't found a pastry yet that I could turn down!
-
I LOVE to dance! Before we moved to Texas I actually won an online Dance Competition for tickets to a dance party hosted by one of my idols of the time: The Alison Show (ask me about it and I'll send you a link). Long story short, I will totally 'bust a move' with you on the dancefloor.
