The pair were very loved up as they perused the displays during their date night, some of which were created by Jake who is a photographer and cinematographer.
Expressing pride in her new hubby's work, the former Home and Away star could be seen sharing a passionate kiss with her hunky man, who gladly returned the favour.
Sarah, 40, kept her look casual for the outing, flaunting her slim pins in a pair of black jeans which she paired with a black T-shirt.
She was spotted in blue jeans and a warm black coat earlier in the day as she helped her boyfriend set up his display in the studio.

The actress kept her wavy dark tresses down for the showing, highlighting her natural beauty with a very minimal makeup look.
Meanwhile, Jake kept the same outfit throughout the day, slipping into a white T-shirt with black jeans and a navy jacket.
Sarah and Jake were first spotted hand-in-hand while out in Sydney on Mother's Day.
It marked the first time she had been seen publicly with a partner since her divorce from former co-star James Stewart in 2023.
The pair appeared smitten as they strolled the streets, grabbed food, and packed on the PDA while window shopping.
It's a new chapter for the actor and DJ, who admitted in a raw interview with Stellar magazine last year her marriage breakdown had left her emotionally shattered.
'I've been really afraid of talking about this because of what I've felt to be the stigma and shame around it. But I just want to say that I am divorced,' she said in April 2024.
Sarah and James met on the Home and Away set in 2017, quickly falling in love before tying the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in Ireland in 2019.

But behind closed doors, cracks had already started to appear.
'I'll never speak on anyone else's behalf, but my belief in marriage is that two people grow and learn from each other together,' she said.
'Sometimes people just grow apart, and that's OK.'
While James has since moved on with his Home and Away co-star Ada Nicodemou, Sarah is now carving out a path of her own.
According to New Idea, Jake works as a Steadicam operator and 'occasional pilot', and recently showcased his work at an exhibition titled A Piece of Art in Crows Nest.
Although the couple have yet to post any photos together, sources say they've quietly been attending events around Sydney - including the Sydney Film Festival.
Speaking about her new romance, Sarah recently said: 'I feel grateful that I found him, because he's allowed me to grow in beautiful and unexpected ways.
'But if I didn't have that, I would still be OK. Because I finally found myself, as cliché as that may sound.'

Sarah added she's no longer afraid to speak her truth.
'I have beaten myself up for a long time over the fact that I stayed in something that wasn't healthy,' she said.
'But I've finally found a love for myself that I didn't have – and that's the most important relationship of all.'
Sarah rose to fame playing the character of Willow on Home and Away from 2017 to 2021.

Rare original proof of David Bailey's 1965 Box of Pin-Ups discovered
David Bailey's Box of Pin-Ups of 1965 was a defining portrait of the swinging 60s, immortalising some of the most fashionable stars of the era, from John Lennon and Mick Jagger to Jean Shrimpton and Susan Murray. Now the original proof copy of this landmark portfolio of 36 portraits by one of Britain's foremost photographers has come to light for the first time. It is the personal working proof copy of David Hillman, the influential graphic designer who went on to give the Guardian a groundbreaking redesign in 1988. In 1965, Hillman co-conceived the Box of Pin-Ups with the magazine editor and political cartoonist Mark Boxer. This copy, in near-mint condition, was the finished concept presented to Bailey for final approval before printing. Its existence was unknown until now, having remained in Hillman's private collection. In an accompanying signed letter confirming its authenticity, he writes: 'Mark, a friend of David Bailey's, came up with the idea for a box of pin-ups – an idea Bailey was enthusiastic about. Bailey selected the photographs, and Mark tasked me with designing and managing the project under his direction.' The edition, a loose portfolio within a box, was published originally in 1965 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. Plans for a second edition were dropped after Lord Snowdon – a distinguished photographer and sitter in the box, and Princess Margaret's husband – objected to its inclusion of the Kray twins, the notorious East End gangsters. The controversy of glamorising criminals reportedly cancelled plans for a US edition. The first edition is so sought-after by collectors that copies have sold for about £20,000, although one example, in which every portrait had been signed by Bailey, far exceeded that. This unique proof is priced at £25,000 and is being offered for sale by Bayliss Rare Books in London on the 60th anniversary of its publication. Oliver Bayliss, its founding director, told the Guardian: 'Box of Pin-Ups is one of the most iconic photography collections of the 20th century, but until now no one knew this original proof existed. 'What makes it so fascinating is that this isn't just a production copy or a variant. It is the prototype – the moment Bailey's concept became a finished object. And it comes from Hillman, one of the great British designers of the postwar period, whose role in shaping this work has often been overshadowed by the fame of the images themselves. 'It's an incredibly rare item … Proof copies are always sought after in the rare book trade. But generally, with something like this, a proof wouldn't have been thought to exist. It is incredible.' Sign up to First Edition Our morning email breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion Referring to the Krays, he said: 'While the controversy tarnished the project's reception in some circles, it paradoxically amplified its allure in others, cementing its rebellious edge.' The portfolio's other famous sitters included the actor Michael Caine, the hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, the dancer Rudolf Nureyev and the artist David Hockney. Bayliss said: 'The 1960s were a time of radical change in every sense, and Bailey's portraiture was a striking departure from the more formal styles that had come before. His work was wonderfully informal, something we now take for granted but, at the time, it was groundbreaking. Bailey had, and still has, an uncanny ability to capture the personality of his sitters, not just their appearance. With the rise of celebrity culture in the 1960s, Box of Pin-Ups became a defining record of the era's most iconic figures and their characters.' He added: 'I'd say half [the sitters] are still very well-known names, and half have fallen by the wayside. The model Susan Murray is among those whose star has since faded.' Only four of the 36 sitters are women – and all of those are models. In the collection's notes, Francis Wyndham wrote: 'In the age of Mick Jagger, it is the boys who are the pin-ups.'

The moment I knew: he arranged a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation
I grew up in the bush, and in 1966, as soon as I was old enough, I ran off and joined the navy. I loved the job and was having a ball. Three years in I was offered a rare opportunity to train for a top-secret role at a base in Queensland. Me and the two other girls were to be deployed to Singapore 12 weeks later. That was before my radio broke down. One afternoon, midway through my stay in Queensland, I had some issues with my electronics and called for a technician. I'd expected to get my radio repaired and get on with the day, but then the most gorgeous guy I'd ever seen walked right in and changed the course of my life. John was as cool as a cucumber as he got to work and I was struck dumb, just in awe of this incredibly handsome man. I didn't know how I was going to get him to notice me, but I was determined. A few days later there was a social evening at the base. It was casino themed and I spent the night following John around, making sure I was always in his eyeline. It wasn't the most sophisticated tactic, but it worked. By the end of the evening he'd asked me out. Our first date was seeing Johnny (as he was then) Farnham sing at Lennon's hotel in Toowoomba and it was perfect. We stole as many nights out together as we could over the next six weeks and I was going more and more gaga by the day. As my time at the base came to an end I still wasn't sure if John was as swept away by our romance as me. He always played it so cool. As we approached my last night, he arranged a getaway at Noosa to go surfing together and a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation. Somewhere in the middle of the night he asked casually: 'What would you say if I asked you to marry me?' If this was a hypothetical question, he had no hope of getting out of it. I flew right off the bed, jumped on top of him and yelled at the top of my lungs: 'Yes, yes, yes!' I didn't give it a second thought. We set the wedding date for October – just a few months later – and I had to request a discharge from the forces; back then women couldn't serve if they were married. The whole time I was back down south John wrote me letters – 30 in all. I still have them. They were so full of love and adoration and excitement about the future we were going to have together. It was like living in a dream. Then it was time for him to drive the 1,700-odd kilometres to Menindee, where I was from – a tiny, one-horse town on the Darling River and 100km out of Broken Hill. As his little red Datsun came up the dirt road, my stomach lurched. For the briefest second I was seized by uncertainty. I couldn't even remember how tall he was. But the moment he stepped out of the car, I fell into his arms and those worries dissolved. The love I felt for him was so overwhelming. I knew this was going to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so smitten with John, there's no doubt we rushed into things. We really knew nothing about each other. It turns out we're exact opposites, but are such a wonderful foil for each other's personalities. I think my lively nature has kept him interested all these years, while his calmness has kept me grounded. Our first child lived for just half an hour, and while it isn't always the case, that terrible time really brought us closer together. When our son and daughter arrived safely in the coming years, I felt like the luckiest mum in the world. At a time when not all husbands were so supportive, John encouraged my desire to study to become a teacher. And just like always, once I knew he had faith in me, I felt I could do anything. To this day I wonder about how I knew, or if it was just amazing luck. But either way I've been married to the love of my life for over 55 years, so my instincts weren't bad. He's still just as gorgeous to me today as he was that afternoon in 1969. Being with John has always felt to me like living under a lucky star – everything seems to work out just how it's supposed to. Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share?

Tina O'Brien 'head over heels' for new man as she shows him off at Jack P Shepherd's wedding
The Corrie favourite was spotted looking very loved up at the wedding of her on-screen brother. Jack P Shepherd's wedding yesterday was a day for love and romance - but not just for the groom. His on-screen sister Tina O'Brien looked loved up as she showed off her new man at the event. Tina, who plays Sarah-Louise Platt in Coronation Street, was one of the guests at the lavish do at Manchester Cathedral yesterday. And she packed on the PDA with her new beau when leaving the afterparty. As seen in our sister title The Mirror, Tina and Adam Fadle, 38, shared a big snog on the street outside after deciding to call it a night. And an insider has claimed the actress, 41, is "head over heels" for Adam. There were plenty of cobbles favourites in attendance as Jack, who plays David Platt, tied the knot with Hanni Treweek in a romantic ceremony. As well as Tina, Lucy Fallon, Colson Smith, and Ben Price were there to celebrate the happy couple. And the groom's on-screen mum Helen Worth beamed as she walked towards the venue with her husband. The wedding came just over a year after Jack proposed to Hanni during a romantic safari trip in Tanzania. The couple had been colleagues on the popular soap before their relationship blossomed. And Tina certainly enjoyed her day celebrating her soap star pal. Wearing a blue and white floral dress, which she paired with a white handbag, she looked stunning. New man Adam looked very dapper in a white button-up shirt and a navy blue suit. The pair were "all over each other" throughout the celebrations, according to an insider, and after they left the lavish do hand-in-hand, they stopped in the street to share a big smooch. The source told The Mirror: "There was no mistaking they were an item on the day. Tina looked very much smitten with Adam. "She looked radiant and everyone that saw them could see how besotted with each other they were. They were all over each other." Speaking about their growing relationship, the insider added: "Tina dotes on him - she loves that he's very calm and is a real gentleman, in every way. She's head over heels. This is no flash in the pan relationship, they're getting serious." Tina was previously married to another Adam, personal trainer Adam Crofts. But the couple, who share a son, split after six years of marriage. According to insiders, Tina had simply fallen "out of love" with her husband and "fallen in love" with new Adam, a design guru who has worked for Paul Pogba. Adam refurbished the former Manchester United star's home in Cheshire shortly after he made the move to the Red Devils. The home appears in the designer's portfolio on the Panoramic Properties website. Jack first met Hanni when his now-bride appeared on Corrie, later going on to work as a storyline writer for the soap. However, sparks didn't fly until they met at a friend's wedding sometime later. Jack said: "We got chatting, I made Hanni laugh, we had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it." Later that year, a chance meeting at a supermarket sparked their courtship. Despite Jack describing it as awkward, the meeting led to a long-lasting relationship. Hanni was worried about her looks at the time but Jack was totally taken with her. He said: "I actually thought she looked fit. I just saw the girl I fancy wearing lycra! We quickly went on our first date and we just clicked." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
