North Bay + Muskoka Photographer

A photographer for the nostalgic + unrefined! Specializing in elopements and intimate weddings.

Sara is the owner of Black Saddle Photography and is based out of Callander, Ontario, servicing the North Bay + Muskoka area. She is available to travel anywhere for weddings. Sara's passion is elopements and intimate weddings. Capturing the moments that move you and documenting your story one photo at a time. We are also excited to share that we now have three Associate Photographers on the team plus an in-house videographer.

Black Saddle Photography style is outdoor focused and raw. They love capturing authentic moments rather than crafted ones. Kick off your shoes, run wild in the woods, jump in lake, and let me capture it all for you! Black Saddle Photography is interested in capturing genuine moments and FEELING that come easy to you. Moments can happen in a heart beat, and aren't always seen. It's their goal to capture as many of those as they can so you can see what they see of you and your loved ones.

What Sara looks for in her own photos are those everyday moments. These moments are what she tries to hold onto in her mind. Sara always has her camera ready so her family can cherish those moments forever.

If you'd like to see more work or get together to chat about a booking, let us know.

MEET THE TEAM


Sara has hired multiple talented individual to work as Associate Photographers and Inhouse Videographer. This means they document the wedding day instead of Sara.


All of the planning and communication is with Sara, then we set up meetings with the Associate as needed. Sara has spent so much time training them and confident that they would all represent Black Saddle just as she does. After the wedding, Sara does all of the culling and editing so the final gallery looks just like she was the one who documented your day.


A perk: the Associate Packages are a lower rate than Sara's!

ASSOciATE PHOTOGRAPHER


Amanda is our first Associate Photographer. She is down to earth, caring, attentive, and has such wonderful raw talent and ease. Amanda captures authentic moments and beautiful photos. She loves to travel and is available to document your wedding anywhere.


Amanda has been fascinated by the art of photography since she was a young child. Capturing moments with her grandparents' Polaroid camera soon turned into being a photographer for her high-school yearbook.

Amanda has travelled extensively and never without a camera in her bag! Documenting her adventures, she loves capturing genuine smiles and the playfulness of people in those "informal" moments. Amanda's creativity is filled by adventure and deep, strong connections to self, others and her communion with nature. She is her most authentic self, spending time outdoors, hiking in the woods or with a cup of coffee and a good book sitting in the sun on a beach somewhere.

TESTIMONIAL

TESTIMONIAL

“Sara was a total dream to work with. Her amazing portfolio drew us in but it was her warm personality that sealed the deal. We felt immediately at ease with her. Sara rolled with the punches as our vision for our day shifted several times before we landed on what felt right for us.
The day of the wedding was a breeze with Sara (quite literally, it was the windiest day ever). She worked creatively with the weather, was prompt and professional.We can tell that she has a keen eye for creating perfect pictures.”
