Wild Irish Elopements · hello, I’m Sarah Kate
Connoisseur of dad jokes. Full time rogue.
Socially awkward, mildly charismatic and daft as a brush. Cork born, happiest near wild seas.
Why I do this
I’m for the imperfect people, the ones who celebrate the rough-and-tumble of life.
As a single parent, photography has been my solace — a place where I switch off and get lost in a moment. And even though I have yet to have my own happy ending, I’m a die-hard romantic. That’s why I adore this job.
When you book me, you gain a friend. A socially awkward, slightly inappropriate friend, but hey — we can’t all be perfect. I love getting to know people: what makes them tick, their quirky little habits, their cute idiosyncrasies.
I grew up twenty minutes from Gougane Barra, with West Cork at my fingertips. I know the cutest spots to watch the sunset and I know where the wind blows a gale down the valley. These days I spend my time on elopements and couple sessions — the two of you, a wild bit of Ireland, and nobody else watching.
Unreasonably happy about
The small, wild things
Mountains
Sea swims in warm rain
Moss — fecking love the stuff, it’s just so fluffy
Dogs and donkeys
Old man pubs with carpets and questionable smells
Finding money in your pocket
Lichen-covered stone walls
Tunnocks tea cakes
Anyone who can play an instrument
Old people with lots of smile lines
Paintings full of people doing lots of things
Winds so wild they steal your breath away

“Sarah Kate was an absolute gem to work with. Her personality and very caring demeanour made our day even more special than we could have dreamed — and that's before we mention how phenomenal her photography is.”
“She was bubbly, funny and relaxed. We'd only met her ten minutes before our shoot, but we immediately felt like we'd known her for years.”
“I didn't realise how much time we'd spend with our photographer. Sarah Kate was fun, always good for a laugh, and just good to be around.”
