About

I’ve been a wedding photographer in the Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia region since 2006.

What started as a hobby matured into a full-time wedding photography career. Most days, you'll find me in the comfort of jeans, well-worn hiking boots, editing photos with a cup of coffee in hand. On the weekends, I’ll be doing anything but sitting--you’ll find me running all over the DMV region, photographing weddings, engagements, and elopements. Running around, working with with couples and exploring new places are all things I love about my job as a photographer!

For your engagement photoshoot, I want to photograph you in a place you love and teach you ways to be comfortable in front of the camera; by the end of the shoot, you’ll be more relaxed.. and that’s where the true, authentic moments happen.

For your wedding, I want you to be present during the happiest time of your life. I will pose you, but I will not impose on you. I capture moments, not invent them. Telling your story, capturing candid moments, and the details that you've poured your soul into, these are things that drive me as a wedding photographer.

I’ve worked in many venues, seasons, and weather all over Maryland during the past 16 years. If you’re looking for an experienced photographer, who captures authentic emotion, directs you through those family photos, and lets you lead the way on your wedding day … then let’s talk.

Thrilled to have amazing wedding pictures to look back on!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer in the DMV area, please look no further than Sara Vars! My search for a wedding photographer was very overwhelming. If all else failed on my wedding day, I knew, if anything, I wanted great pictures to look back on. In the wedding photographer search, I had browsed portfolios and made over 50 wedding photographer inquiries in the DMV area. When I came across Sara Vars’ photography website, I instantly connected with her work. Her elegant and timeless photography style was exactly what I was looking for without breaking the bank. Upon the first consultation with Sara, I immediately knew I had to book her as the wedding photographer. Sara is very inviting, attentive and makes photoshoots fun. She has great ideas for photographs. For our 100+ guest wedding, she covered all the details beautifully from start to end. I even had guests tell me how awesome Sara was during our wedding -she was on the job! My husband Michael and I are very thankful we have these breathtaking photos to look back on for years and years to come. MANY THANKS to Sara! Best, Jeanie

Sara was phenomenal! She was easy to work with, professional, reliable, and simply knew how to make us comfortable. She took the requested standard portrait shots, but also took such creative photojournalistic ones that we will cherish. The quality in her pictures is brilliant! She did everything we wanted and more. She captured our wedding in such a beautiful way making it so personal and special! She is totally worth it!

As the mother of the bride, Sara was awesome to work with! She has such a unique eye for pictures, which is why my daughter chose her. She was able to put everyone at ease and take so many shots even though we were an hour behind! I can't wait to see the final photos, but I know the scenarios that she set up were so awesome! It felt very comfortable to have her there, she was always able to get the shot, but never felt like she was in the way.

Sara is great to work with. Communication from our very first meeting between us and her team was great. We were able to help ensure she got the shots she needed with all the right people while keeping the evenings events moving along as planned. Her work is amazing!
