Lincolnshire<\/a>, home does offer a wonderful place for Sarah to work.<\/p>\n\u201cWe are so lucky where we live as we have such great venues,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201dBurghley House is on my doorstep, I can\u2019t really complain about the gorgeous venues here.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Bride and Flower Girl caught the eye of the judges, the image came completely in the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flower girl was just playing underneath the veil and the bride bent down and was pointed at her mum,\u201d said Sarah, 41.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was it, I was like \u2018get me under there\u2019. So I snuck under and that\u2019s how I got it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t really plan most of the shots, 90% of my work is candid and 10% iconic portraits.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the moment I could see it was good, but I didn\u2019t now how good until I got home and put it on the big screen. You don\u2019t have time to look through them properly on the day, you can have a quick glance but you can\u2019t really look at them.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was only when the bride received the photo and looked at them and said \u2018that photo has made my mum cry, my nan cry, it\u2019s made us cry\u2019 I realised. Hearing that feedback from them meant I got it right on the professional level, not just the artistic level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bride Megan, who lives in Cambridgeshire, was the first person Sarah called when she learned she had won the award, with her subject \u2018ecstatic\u2019 at the good news.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy job is all about the people,\u201d Sarah continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t do my job without people. And I need to know my people, so I do pre-wedding shoots with all my couples so I can hang out with them before, get to know each other and how far we can push each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that really helps come the wedding day. Then I know them, It\u2019s a huge benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n
