Hi, I’m Sasha! 👋 The owner, photographer and art director at Sherbet Birdie Photography Studio and Lovebirds. Since 2006, I’ve been bringing love stories to life through vintage-inspired, nurturing, and high-concept photography—all about connection, authenticity, and self-expression. 💕📸
Sherbet Birdie was born from a simple but powerful realisation: beauty should be celebrated as it is and made available to everyone. ✨ So, I left my publishing career to create a space where love, individuality, and joy shine through.
Our latest adventure? All-inclusive micro weddings and elopements! 🎉💍 These intimate celebrations are stress-free, stylish, and completely personal. From posing direction to vintage hair, makeup, and wardrobe, my dream team—Dianne Murphy and Marija Milisavljevic—ensures every detail is taken care of so you can simply enjoy your day.
With over 2,000 clients trusting us to capture their love, we’d love to help you create a wedding as unique, heartfelt, and beautiful as your story. 💖 Because timeless love deserves timeless style.
