One Seamless Team

Planning a wedding in North Carolina? Whether you're saying “I do” under the Spanish moss in Wilmington or exchanging vows at a mountain estate near Asheville, finding the right photographer and videographer is key to remembering it all.
At Gold + Sage, we specialize in timeless, editorial, documentary, and candid wedding photography and cinematic wedding films that honor every moment.


You can have it all

One Team for
Photography + Videography

Gold + Sage offers both wedding photography and wedding videography under one roof—meaning your visuals feel cohesive, your timeline flows smoothly, and you only have one trusted creative partner to coordinate with. 
Whether you're looking for romantic editorial portraits, candid documentary coverage, or a custom wedding film that makes you sob in the best way—we’ve got you.

Every collection includes:

  • High-resolution digital files with print release
  • A seamless experience from engagement to final delivery
  • A storytelling-first approach to both photos and films
  • Optional add-ons: engagement sessions, bridal portraits, proposal coverage, and more

Three Styles, One Seamless Gallery
Documentary candids, editorial flair, and timeless portraits—woven together into one cohesive, elevated story.

Calm Energy, Zero Chaos
I lead with warmth and confidence, keeping the day smooth, on time, and full of presence—not pressure.

Photo + Video, Perfectly Paired
A curated team, one shared vision. No vendor juggling. Just storytelling that flows effortlessly from still to film.

Luxury Experience, Human Touch
From inquiry to delivery, it’s all designed to feel high-touch, thoughtful, and easy. You’re fully taken care of.

Legacy Over Likes
This isn’t just content—it’s your history. I capture your day with emotion and artistry that lasts a lifetime.

Our Style: Effortless, Elegant, Emotional

We’re not into overly posed, filtered trends that age like avocado. Our work focuses on capturing your wedding as it felt—with all the warmth, movement, emotion, and unexpected magic included.
Think:
  • Editorial without the ego
  • Documentary without the chaos
  • Timeless, but never stiff
You’ll see a mix of fly-on-the-wall candids, stylish portraits, and intentionally framed details that let the day breathe.

Real Weddings Across NC

I’m Sarah—the founder, lead photographer, and filmmaker behind Gold + Sage. Based in Raleigh, I’ve spent the past decade capturing weddings across North Carolina and beyond for couples who value emotion, aesthetics, and meaning in equal measure.

My style blends documentary honesty, editorial composition, and gentle direction. I’m here for the unscripted moments—the teary hugs, the nervous laughter, the quiet in-between—and I’m equally obsessed with clean portraits, chic details, and anything that catches golden light.

Gold + Sage began with a love for storytelling, but it’s grown into something deeper: a space where couples can feel fully seen and beautifully documented, from proposal to final gallery. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me browsing Reformation dresses, planning my next road trip, or renovating our fixer-upper (IYKYK).

If you're looking for a North Carolina wedding photographer and videographer who blends artistry with intention—and makes the process feel effortless—I’d love to connect.

What Our Couples Say:

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the very first time we spoke all the way through sending us a thoughtful and beautiful package with printed photos after the wedding, Sarah was incredible. Every photo turned out so beautiful, and some of them looked so much like our inspiration photos. The documentary video was particularly special; my husband and I watched it over some of our defrosted wedding cake and were able to relive the whole day together. We’re so thankful to Sarah and her whole team for their incredible work.
