A first look is one of the most emotional moments of a wedding day. More than a trend, it is an intentional pause that allows couples to share a private, heartfelt moment before the ceremony begins. Away from guests and traditions, it becomes an intimate experience filled with connection, emotion, and authenticity. Beyond the romance, there are practical benefits too—portraits are taken earlier, timelines flow smoothly, and couples get to spend more time with loved ones. Whether it eases nerves or simply creates space to breathe, a first look offers a memory that is both timeless and deeply personal.

Welcome to Latitude 49 Photography, a space where love stories, artistry, and storytelling come together. My name is Sarah, and I’m the heart and eye behind the lens. From my roots in Germany to the prairies of Alberta, and now the misty forests and rugged coastlines of Vancouver Island, each chapter of my life has shaped how I see and capture the world. What began as a love for landscapes grew into a calling to preserve the essence of people—their emotions, connections, and legacies. Here, I’ll share wedding inspiration, elopement guides, photography tips, and reflections from my creative journey.
