Find Sara out and about in D.C. and you’ll notice she always has a funny wedding story to share, a latte in her hand, and a smile on her face.
From the Host’s Desk
What do weddings and podcasting have in common? (This is not a cheesy knock-knock joke, I swear.)
It’s taken me a little bit to figure this out, but now that I have, it makes perfect sense why I love hosting The Wedding Dish so much.
Weddings and podcasts are both about people. They are about celebrating people, honoring their stories, and truly connecting with others.
Connection is a huge theme in my life. I’m an extrovert, can’t you tell? As a wedding photographer, I push to connect with my couples long before I take out my camera. As the owner of District Bliss, I help facilitate connections between entrepreneurs at our networking events and workshops. And chatting with couples and wedding pros alike on The Wedding Dish makes me feel oh-so-connected, even if my guests are on the other side of the country.
I hope when you listen to The Wedding Dish, dear friend, you feel just as connected. Kinda like you’re listening in on your BFF’s super interesting convo with the person they sat next to at a dinner party.
Photos from the Harty is a small but mighty team of wedding and event photographers in the Washington, DC area. We believe our couples need to love their photographers as much as their photos, and bring their personalities to each and every shoot.
Your story. Your day. Your memories.
Your photographs should tell your story. Even the tiniest, yet immensely important, moments are a huge part of your story; those moments should be captured as they are so you can remember them forever.
During a wedding, you spend more time with your photographers than anyone else. It’s not only important to love your pictures - you should also love your photographers!
We’ll be there to help you through anything that may arise; we love to laugh and believe that making people happy is one of the best feelings in the world.
We're not afraid to crack jokes or tear up during the ceremony; we invest in knowing you and what makes you happy/beautiful/perfect.
More often than not, we bustle your dress, pin boutonnières, fix guests' outfits or hair, and even tie bowties.
We want to do whatever it takes to make your wedding day perfect. That's just us! :)
A high-touch experience.
We're here to be a resource to you. Whether you're planning a wedding and have questions about your ceremony backdrop or timeline, or wondering about which outfit to select for your family photographs - we're here to support you, answer questions, and offer guidance.
