Sarah McGinnis

is your girl.

I’m Sarah McGinnis, owner of Captivated Studios, and I’m so glad you’re here! I live and work with clients in Rochester, NY, but trust me—I’m not tied to the Upstate NY region. My heart craves travel and exploration, and I want to see and capture as much beauty in the world as I possibly can. And that (obviously) includes you!

Whether you’re dreaming of a family photo session, an elaborate elopement experience, or an intimate micro-wedding, I’m here to snapshot every moment that makes your story uniquely yours. But my passion doesn’t stop at capturing people—I also work with brands and businesses, offering social media management and content creation to help elevate your online presence.

With my own studio space, a love for travel photography, and a deep passion for storytelling, I specialize in making my clients feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated—no matter the occasion.

✨ Let’s create something beautiful together! Whether it’s the start of your forever, a branding session to showcase your business, or an adventure waiting to be documented, I’d love to be part of your journey.

Let’s Enable Each Other’s

Wanderlust

I love working with adventurous souls who aren’t afraid to explore the wilderness, showcase their intimacy, or share some silly good times. From the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming to the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, nothing inspires me like traveling for a micro-wedding, elopement, or destination wedding!
