Sarah brought our vision to life by really seeing us. Not just hearing what we said we wanted, but understanding the feeling behind it. She took our loose ideas about wanting something intimate, natural, and emotionally real, and somehow captured it all so beautifully. What we didn’t expect was how much she’d help shape the experience itself—not just photograph it. From helping us feel confident in the locations we chose, to gently guiding us through the day without it ever feeling staged or rushed, the way she was able to pivot when I took too long getting ready, she added so much more value than we could have imagined. It felt like she was part storyteller, part guide, and part calm, grounding presence. When we got our actual album back, we were speechless. Seeing our photos for the first time felt like reliving the day all over again, but even more emotional, because we got to see moments we didn’t even realize had happened. We laughed, we cried, and we kept saying, ‘This is so us.’ She captured the feeling, the connection, the setting (EVERYTHING) in such a thoughtful and beautiful way. It was overwhelming in the best possible sense, and we’ll treasure these images for the rest of our lives. -

I don't even know how described how amazing everything was from the very beginning. Sarah responded very quickly, answered all my questions, and was beyond kind before we even officially booked. And between her responses and portfolio, booking was a no brainer!
Any idea I threw her way, she was down with! Including hiking through tall brush and mud, then going on a very steep, and very muddy, hike into a gorge.
She was so kind and funny every step of the way and I would 100% book her again on her personality alone, but if you add her photography skills to the mix, it becomes 1000%. I'm absolutely blown away by the photos she took... They're magical and beautiful and sexy and everything in-between. She is so good at capturing and maintaining personality in her photos, I'm in awe.
I didn't think my wedding day could have been anymore perfect, but she proved me wrong and thanks to Sarah, I get to look back and remember it forever! -

Thistle & Stone were fab from the off, Sarah was the only photographer of the 6 that we reached out too who contacted us and asked if we were ok with a video chat. It was a great way of getting to know her and her to know us. She also sent us some questionnaires so that she knew the sort of thing we liked and the 'feel' we were after with our photos. -

Fairy Tale Wedding
I love every photo Sarah took. They are dramatic, personal, and most of all tell the story of my magical day. We hired her a year and a few months before our Scottish Elopement. She kept in contact with us the whole year, getting to know us, and our story. Wedding day came and I had a friend capturing my special day. She always went the extra mile for us and worked tirelessly on my photos. I loved working her and would do so again. -

Nicky Sent on 14/12/2023Sarah captures every detail beautifully
When I saw Sarah’s portfolio I could see all the warmth, colour and natural beauty I wanted our own wedding to radiate. I had every faith that Sarah would capture this for us. She was super flexible with our timeline and the logistics of our venues (it was just a small 30 mile juggling act between them all) and her pricing was really reasonable. She asked every question under the sun in preparation to ensure she captured exactly what we wanted. On the day I unfortunately felt really unwell, but Sarah (and her wonderful photography partner Matt) were so patient and kind and kept my spirits high – as well as being everywhere they needed to be and perfectly on time, not missing a moment.
After our big day, the wedding blues really got to me – the big, beautiful day had been and gone and my lasting memory was feeling unwell. But, when our first round of pictures were sent to us, memories of so much joy and all the most wonderful parts of the day came flooding back to me, my wedding blues were cured and my lasting memory is now of all the happiness that the day was full to the brim with – to the point that when I most recently spoke to Sarah and she reminded me of how unwell I was on the day, I had all but forgot about it and could only really remember the high points, thank goodness!
Sarah’s work resulted in just short of 2000 pictures of our guests looking gorgeous in an autumnal haven, my husband crying his eyes out (he was happy, I promise) and so many little moments that otherwise might not have been remembered. I look at them all the time and I’m so grateful that we can immerse ourselves in that day so entirely. And it’s always a pleasure to hear from Sarah and catch up with her – even a whole year on from our wedding.

Sarah was amazing from start to finish - the perfect balance of casual and professional. She makes sure you feel comfortable and is so attentive and understanding.
Our photos are to die for and she really captured our love for one another so beautifully. The talent is off the scale!
We had a traditional church wedding and she catered to exactly what we wanted. As the bride in the morning I had a bit of a wobble and she was so lovely and helped me so much with extra bits!!
I cannot recommend Sarah enough. You really made our day even better. -
