About Sarah James Photography

Sarah James

Lead Photographer & Artist

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. Using film and digital photography, we strive to capture your moments with candid authenticity and true to life colors. We believe in giving you the full package with all of the colors and emotion of your day.

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 7 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.
