Sarah Alderman Weddings brings a decade of internationally published, fashion-forward wedding photography to Northern California. Based in Marin County and fluent in the visual language of the most considered celebrations, Sarah is now available for weddings in Napa, Sonoma, the Bay Area, Big Sur, Carmel, and beyond.
Our images have been featured by:
Sarah has photographed over 200 weddings across more than a decade, earning five-star reviews from clients who include Super Bowl champions — among them Jason Kelce and his family, whose wedding was featured in People Magazine — Emmy Award-winning producers, Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees, Food Network stars, and prominent public figures who simply know exactly what they want and won't settle for less.
Her work has been published internationally, and her instinct for composition, editorial detail, and the unguarded moment between the posed ones is what keeps her booked by clients who care deeply about how things look, and prioritize how they feel.
She is also a documentary filmmaker, a National Geographic storytelling collaborator, and a fellow of a South Asian diaspora oral history project. Telling real stories with craft and integrity is not a side interest, it's the foundation.

the team
Sarah leads every wedding she accepts, supported by a second-shooter team of tried-and-tested collaborators: Chloe, Sabina, Geneva, Eliza, and Dan. They've all worked with Sarah for multiple seasons, which means the chemistry in the room is real. Sabina leads the associate team for select East Coast weddings, bringing the same standard and the same ethos to couples who are looking for a more sustainable booking that avoids the climate impact of cross-country travel.
An ally who thinks that should be a given
Sarah’s passion is not so much for the wedding industry per se, but for stories that reflect the human experience. Sarah’s life goal has always been 'go everywhere and meet everyone' and she finds awe in the many ways there are to experience a life.
Sarah considers herself a student of everyone she meets. When selecting team members and forming vendor relationships, she seeks to find exceptional talent in communities that are often overlooked within the industry.
We are careful with our collaborations and always keen to find value alignment in our partners and clients.
Integrity is important to us as a studio. Every image we share on our website is from a real AGP client that chose us as the hired photographer for their wedding. We do not present planned, controlled or editorial shoots with models as wedding day work, as the two disciplines require different skillsets and can be misleading to potential clients.
