About Sarah James Photography

Sarah James Photography

Sarah James

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.

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 6 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.

    We are beyond grateful to have had Sarah and her second shooter, Jack, as our wedding photographers. From start to finish, Sarah was incredibly attentive, organized, and truly understood our vision. She gave clear, calm direction that made us feel at ease, and the experience never felt rushed or staged, just natural and joyful. Sarah didn’t just capture beautiful moments, she helped create them. She went above and beyond throughout the day, stepping in to help us navigate a few unexpected moments when our day-of coordinator was out of sight. Her calm presence, quick thinking, and kindness meant the world to us, and gave us the support we didn’t even know we needed. And the photos we saw before she left were absolutely stunning. She and Jack documented our day with such care, emotion, and artistry. We saw our day reflected exactly the way we had envisioned it, and we’ll treasure these images for a lifetime. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sarah and Jack are not only talented professionals, they’re wonderful people, and we’re so lucky to have had them by our side on such a meaningful day. – Rachel & Rosario

    Sarah James Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our elopement! From the very first interaction, Sarah was incredibly communicative, fun, and bubbly - it was clear she truly cared about making our day special. On the day of, she was a pro at posing us and finding the most stunning backdrops, capturing the memories of our elopement in a way that is truly breathtaking. Sarah seamlessly switched between digital and film photography, and the final photos are exactly what we had imagined - a beautiful blend of classic and modern styles. She made the entire photoshoot process go with such ease, and was so adaptable as our plans shifted. We will cherish these stunning photos forever, and are so grateful to Sarah for helping make our elopement day so special.
