the photographer
Hey there, I'm Saige!
I’m a lifestyle and creative photographer based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, capturing the raw, real, and in-between moments that tell your story best.
My journey started when I was just a kid — posing for a local photographer and falling in love with how a single image could hold so much feeling. That spark grew stronger the day I was gifted my mom’s old Fuji-film camera (yep, I still have it), but everything truly clicked after Christmas 2023 when I picked up my first Canon. That’s when Saige Burch Photography was born — and I haven’t looked back since.

These days, I specialize in candid, storytelling photography for couples, families, brands, bands, and dreamers. My sessions are relaxed, lightly guided, and rooted in connection. Whether we’re documenting a milestone or just a quiet moment that matters, I aim to make your experience feel effortless, intentional, and true to you.
Outside of photography, I’m a bit of a wildflower — happiest hiking, rock hounding, birdwatching, or treasure hunting through vintage shops. Nature, nostalgia, and everyday magic shape the way I see the world — and it shows up in every frame I create.

I believe the best photos happen when you’re simply being yourself.
No stiff posing. No forced smiles. Just real moments, honestly told.
If that sounds like your kind of vibe — let’s connect. I’d love to tell your story through my lens.
A few more facts about me

what got me hooked on photography
Chasing real moments, a love for nostalgia, and always wanting to bottle up a feeling before it fades.
UNLIKELY THINGS THAT FUEL MY CREATIVITY…
Moody films like House of 1000 Corpses, Stand By Me, and Almost Famous, aimless road trips, eerie stories, and flipping through forgotten magazines and artwork in thrift shops.
My ideal day off looks like...
Iced Capp in hand, wandering aimlessly through a forest, probably with rocks in my pocket and dirt under my nails.
THE SHOOT I KEEP DAYDREAMING ABOUT…
A retro dream girl meets final girl vibe — think 60s/70s/80s Playboy energy mixed with vintage slasher film aesthetics, all wrapped in soft lighting and eerie backdrops.
IF I COULD ONLY SHOOT ONE THING FOREVER…
It would be love stories — not just the posed and polished moments, but the raw, unfiltered in-betweens. The laughter, the quiet glances, the way two people just are together when no one’s watching. That’s the kind of magic I’ll never get tired of capturing.
currently inspired by...
Overgrown paths, 70s fashion, weird bugs, and film photography vibes.
