about

Wedding Photographer & Videographer

``Melbourne-based photographer and filmmaker Sarah Matler is drawn to the raw, unguarded moments—the quiet in-between glances, the laughter that escapes unexpectedly, the way love exists in the smallest gestures. With a background in fine art, film, and editorial photography, her work is an effortless blend of cinematic beauty and emotional depth.``

Wedding & Elopement Photographer, Sarah Matler

Guided by a love for painterly light, rich tones, and authentic storytelling, Sarah captures weddings with an intuitive, documentary approach. She believes that love stories are not just found in grand gestures but in the subtleties—the way hands instinctively find each other, the way eyes soften in a stolen glance. Every couple has a unique rhythm, and Sarah’s goal is to reflect that essence in every frame.

Beyond the lens, Sarah is a deeply empathetic and intentional presence, ensuring couples feel at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to merge artistry with human connection is what sets her apart, creating imagery that is not only beautiful but deeply personal.

Whether photographing an intimate elopement by a rugged coastline or a candlelit celebration in the heart of Melbourne, Sarah’s work is an invitation to relive your day not just as it looked, but as it felt.

pets hold a special place in sarah’s heart

She finds joy in their fun nature and the relationships we share, often incorporating their playful antics into her photography sessions. Her Greyhound Ruby is not just a pet but a cherished family member and, at times, a studio companion.

High Notes

Beyond capturing moments through her camera, Sarah also expresses her artistic side through music. Whether it's experimenting with ambient music or jumping behind the dj decks for a mix!

03

Wide open roads

When Sarah is not immersed in the world of photography and music, you can often find her out in nature reading a book, hiking, perfecting campfire-cooking… or seemingly more frequent of late, working on her van planning her next trip.
