About The Photographer

  • Sarah Chu Photography Wedding Photos in Black and White

    A Quick Snapshot

    Welcome! I’m Sarah, an enneagram 3w2, ENFP and a So-Cal native. I’ve known my husband since we were 11 and I count it my biggest blessing to spend a literal lifetime with him. We called Dallas our home since 2022 and love it here. We’re always open to some good restaurant recs!

    Photography is my love language

    Taking portraits of loved ones has always been my love language, long before Instagram was around. It started with a Sony Cybershot in 2005 (that I still use!) and after many photo ventures and published work, I am now committed to serving families and mothers in hopes of empowering my subjects through beautiful, timeless portraits.

    Beyond the lens

    I enjoy playing the guitar, cooking up a new recipe and taking on a simple DIY project. I would most likely be reading a book on faith or marriage and any thought-provoking poems (and have plenty of recommendations if you’re interested!). What really feeds my heart is connecting with you. After all, in this world full of people, it’s a miracle we ever met!

    We're a great match if

    you are a free and creative spirit who doesn’t mind your photographer asking, “do you wanna try this?”. My approach embraces candid engagements rather than structured poses. Take it from 2 yo me, who fell asleep after my mom held me to a chair and had me pose in 10 different ways. Yawn! Don’t worry - I still provide prompts and guide you through intentional interactions, after spending plenty of time getting to know you.

that will empower and encourage for years to come

Connection

My work is based on the authenticity of connection- one that begins with compassion. It grounds my approach towards each subject, and I invite its work to allow your story to naturally unfold.

Your images should convey this real connection between you and your loved ones.

Intention

There is thoughtfulness behind every detail in order for your story to be appreciated from a thousand different angles. I find purpose in planning and preparing so we can do this well.

Your images are intentionally captured to convey the power of your enduring love for years to come.

Inspiration

My creativity is inspired by my faith and based on the words: “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace”.

You will inevitably inspire others with the love you carry, as you display it through your everlasting portraits.

Kind ✉︎ Words

  • "...it fills my heart to clearly see the joy we share together"

    Sarah is such a huge joy to work with. She is personable, cultivating a warm ambiance to help the session feel organic. I appreciated her encouragement and gentle direction throughout the process, especially since poses don't come naturally for some of us, and also loved how she beautifully captured candid moments. Looking at the photos made me realize we don't really get to see what we look like as we engage with each another and it fills my heart to clearly see the joy we share together. So grateful we get to have these memories to look back on forever!
