The most incredible experience!

I first met Sarah when she was the photographer for my best friends wedding a couple of years ago. I was a maid of honor so I had to coordinate with her a lot throughout the day to make sure that things flew smoothly.

I knew the first time I met her and saw her in action that I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. I remember going home that night after my best friends wedding and I said to my now husband, she is going to be the photographer at our wedding hands-down, I want her and no one else!

She does absolutely incredible work she takes her time. She is organized and knows how to gather a group together and make sure they are where they need to be for photos. She has details the day of who is supposed to take what photos to make sure she gets all of the ones that you want. She is extremely dedicated to what she does and she loves her job! When you love your job, it shows in your work!

She made absolutely every part of the experience, easy, comfortable, and so perfect! From doing our engagement shoot and working through it even though a few months prior, she had had a injury to her back, she did not want to cancel or reschedule, she made sure to be available and be present for us. All the way to checking in on me months before my wedding, giving me updates, she checked on me the week ahead of time and spent an hour on the phone with me making sure she got every detail of what I wanted my day to look like what I wanted out of our pictures, she gave me helpful suggestions based on her experience. She told me that she would do anything that I wanted.

She then texted me about two days before and hyped me up and got so excited for my wedding coming in a few days. Then sent updates on what the weather was going to be like on my wedding day. She sent tips the night before on how to get good rest, and make sure that you’re eating and drinking and what the weather for that day meant for pictures and how they would look.

And then, of course, the day of her and her second photographer, Jeffrey and her assistant were all amazing. They were so kind, funny and attentive! Sarah just made sure to take care of literally everything that she could. If it was something that needed my attention. She took care of it without a second thought! She was like a second maid of honor!

She made sure that our timeline stayed exactly the way it should be, and just made me feel like, I was doing it right all day long. She was encouraging, positive and in our pictures, even just the four that she has given as proofs are absolutely gorgeous! I am dying to see the rest of them I would 110% recommend her and anyone in her company that she has trained to do wedding, maternity shoots, engagements, you name it!

I will definitely be using her in the future for my own maternity shoots , or any other professional photos that I would like to have because she is a professional and has the most incredible work! She is also just an all round awesome person! 10 out of 10 would use again!! 🥰

Best decision I made for my wedding day!

I cannot say enough great things about Sarah and her crew! She is more than just a photographer, she is a wedding expert!! As an out-of-state bride, Sarah made scheduling our engagement photos easy and was able to make it happen during our weekend in town. I knew after seeing the amazing quality of the engagement photos that my husband and I had made the right choice!

When it came time for the wedding, Sarah was the one vendor I knew I didn't have to stress about. She checked in with us several times the week leading up to the wedding and was so organized! The day of the wedding she was by my side, while her second shooter Jeff was with my husband and the men. Sarah was more than a photographer, she was a coordinator for the whole day! She made sure everything was running smoothly, kept us to the timeline, and advocated for my wants and needs when things weren't going as planned. She had whatever I needed on hand-- she was fully stocked with hairspray, bobby pins, safety pins, stain remover, tissues--you name it and she was prepared with it! She checked in on my husband and I during the day to make sure we had time alone and were eating and drinking throughout the day. She was even there to help bustle my dress when others struggled!

Her pictures were absolutely stunning and all came within the promised timeline! She was communicative throughout all of the edits. I could not be happier with my wedding photos!! I ordered a custom wedding photo album from her and it is gorgeous-- she uses the highest quality printer and its evident she cares about the way her photos are displayed.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer don't think twice and hire High Contrast Photography! You absolutely won't regret it!! I have nothing but positive things to say about Sarah and we have remained friends post-wedding!
