What began as a hobby as a 5 year old girl, turned into a business beyond my wildest dreams. Now as a wedding and portrait photographer based in Winchester, Virginia, I capture moments frozen in time that maintain timeless essence. Sarah Botta is an incredibly talented photographer who has a great eye for capturing soft, romantic shots. We immediately connected with her. I'm Sarah Botta, an almost always barefoot Virginia wedding photographer and portrait photographer based in Winchester, Virginia.

I can't say enough positive things about Sarah- she was a pleasure to work with for our engagement/wedding/maternity and newborn. We were so comfortable with her, and she did a great job getting to know us and ensuring our photos and experience was true to us. She was reliable, responsive and so prompt with preparing our photos. And, we absolutely love our photos! Sarah captured ALL of our big life event perfectly, and I know that we will cherish them forever!

Okay, this review is long but its because I honestly don't know how my day would have gone without Sarah. She was the first vendor we booked and from our first phone call, we never second-guessed our choice. We were right in our gut feelings about Sarah. She is kind, competent, thoughtful, and artistic. My brother-in-law loved our engagement photos so much they ended up booking her for a family mini-shoot.
She takes her business seriously and this shows in so many ways. All of her communication was clear, she was organized, she sent and edited timelines with me, helped me create a shot list, etc

Sarah was great! So easy to work with and on top of everything throughout the whole planning process even! She is very sweet and kind and so are her associate shooters. She made us feel very comfortable shooting with her and we cannot wait to see the photos in a few months! We know they will be great since she did out engagement photos!

Sarah is absolutely phenomenal! She has done all of our photos for our now 4 year old daughter as well as all of our yearly family photos. She always picks the perfect spot to take the pictures and we have just loved everything she has done! Look no further for any photography need, Sarah is simply the best!

Sarah went above and beyond to make our day perfect. She helped us put together a perfect timeline, and was so organized and helpful leading up to the wedding. Her bubbly personality made her an easy choice for our photographer! Sarah also helped me find other key vendors like my florist. On our wedding day, Sarah greeted me with a hug and made us so comfortable during all of our photos. She returned our photos to us so quickly and we are so in love with all of them! Even my family complimented how wonderful Sarah was. She was so sweet, but assertive when needed to gather family members for family

WOW SARAH!!!! The photos are AMAZING!!! I almost cried when I saw them. It makes me so happy to see how they turned out and remember what a happy day it was. And I can't believe how fresh we look despite how swampy it was that day. Whatever you did with the lighting and adjustment is just incredible! I can't thank you enough!!!

Sarah was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable on our first phone call even before I signed the contract. I didn’t do the typical sit down dinner and was afraid my wedding wouldn’t look “perfect”. Sarah reassured me she could make my wedding look like a million bucks and she did just that! The photo album we received was amazing and truly highlighted and captured all the moments and items that meant so much to us. Sarah’s timeline was super helpful and she even allowed me to have some control and make a few adjustments. I was amazed by Sarah’s work ethic and it truly showed in her

Sarah is an excellent, professional photographer! She found the perfect location and time of day for our fall engagement photo shoot! During our wedding, she and her assistant photographer managed to capture all of the details -big and small- that we never thought to request they photograph. The poses and movements she recommended during our portaits captured the love between my husband and me! I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a nature-focused photographer who will capture on film the memories of a lifetime!!!

Sarah is absolutely amazing! As a huge fan of Pinterest, I had many picture ideas "pinned" which she printed out and used during the wedding day! She is great to work with, understanding and helpful when it comes to planning out the timing of the BIG day photos. She really helps the picture process during the engagement sessions by teaching the couple poses which will be used again for wedding photos. I highly recommend Sarah Botta Photography!!
