Documentary and editorial wedding photographer based in Woodstock, Vermont, covering New England

Sally Carpenter Photography is a wedding and portrait business based in Woodstock, Vermont. Sally photographs full weddings, micro weddings, elopements and engagement sessions across Vermont and New England, with an approach that blends documentary storytelling and editorial portraits.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Sally works mostly in a documentary way, following the day as it happens and capturing real moments between you, your families and your friends. That means no forced poses built around old wedding conventions. She has photographed LGBTQ+ engagement sessions around Woodstock, and her elopement and micro wedding options suit couples who want a small, personal celebration in the Vermont landscape.

What she offers

  • Full wedding day photography collections
  • Elopement and micro wedding coverage
  • Engagement and couple sessions
  • Images delivered in both color and black and white
  • Albums and fine art prints

How she works

Sally mixes candid coverage with a smaller number of posed, editorial portraits, so you get both the story of the day and a few frames for the wall. Couple sessions are often folded into wedding collections, which gives you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding. Her Vermont elopement option is designed to keep things simple for couples marrying with few or no guests.

Where she covers

She is based in Woodstock and works throughout Vermont, with a lot of work in the Woodstock area and the Upper Valley. She also covers Boston, upstate New York and the wider New England region, and takes destination weddings further afield.
