Welcome to the Sarah Bell blog

Another amazing wedding at Beautiful Beginnings! The sun was high, the sky was clear. It was the perfect beginning for a perfect day. I feel like too many of my blogs have started out this way this year, but sadly there have been sooo many brides affected my throws of COVID. Dawn and Stephen’s wedding […]

Emily reached out to me about the possibility of doing engagement photos while her and Daniel were still in Athens. They are quickly preparing for their February wedding which will be at, get this, Disney!! I was like “PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU!!”, but sadly Disney is very strict and picky… Alas, I was still […]

Engagement sessions are near and dear to me. The main reason is that they allow a perfect time to get to know my couples in person, and to help my Bides and Grooms learn what to expect from me on their wedding day. Theres always laughter and story telling. They really are one of my […]

Oh, what a beautiful day! There were threats of rain all day long, and I made sure to be prepared just incase we were forced inside the whole time. Which, and I don’t say this often, would have been terrible because of how beautiful The Georgia Club is. That being said, being able to go […]

As I sit here in my bed writing this blog about Haley and Derek’s wedding day, several words come to mind. Joyful. Loving. Exciting. Emotional. Perfect. In a minute I am going to come back around to the word “emotional” and explain why it is the word that sticks out the most to me for […]

Mr. John reached out to me a couple months ago in regards to doing some photos of his family. Its pretty common for me visitors to the Lake area to reach out for family photos, but this was not just family photos. Mr. John explained to me that it was going to be a birthday […]

This session is one that felt like would never happen… Dawn hired me back in 2020 for a wedding that would happen after the whole “COVID thing” was over. Or so we thought… Not only did we end up having to reschedule engagement sessions (several times) but ultimately Dawn and Stephen were forced to reschedule […]

I chose Macon for this engagement session because of the Cherry Blossom trees that would be in bloom. If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably already know that I LOVE flowers and all things Spring. So, naturally, I was excited to pull Logan and Maria into Macon for their engagement session. I […]

If you’ve never been to downtown Madison, first, I highly recommend you go, and second, there is an adorable little park that I love taking my clients to. This is where I told Haley and Derek to meet me. Theres a gazebo, a gorgeous 3-tiered fountain, large grassy area, and plenty of little spots for […]

If you have been following me for a while, then you may have run across my interest in gardening. There is something very fulfilling about getting your hands dirty and doing some manual labor outside. At least there is for me. I love filling my lungs with fresh air and working for a long term […]
