Amazingly Talented

Hiring a talented photographer was one of the most important things to me during wedding planning and Sara has far exceeded my expectations. Not only are her pictures absolutely stunning, she is professional, communicative, and just overall the type of person you’d like to hang out with! She did our engagement shoot on Mackinac Island in January and shot our wedding at Stonecliffe in September. All the pictures are so so beautiful and I could not be happier with my decision to hire It’s Wonderful Photography.

Best photographer ever

I’ve been obsessed with Sara’s photography for a long time but having the privilege of hiring her for our wedding was beyond what I imagined! She literally becomes like a family member and is a joy to have as a part of your big day...AND her pictures are insanely amazing!!!!! She’s keeps direction but also makes everyone feel calm, she’s done social media and marketing for a major island establishment for a long time and she truly understands the island and all of the amazing spots. HIRE HER! You’ll never be sorry.

What an incredible experience

My wife Katie and I chose It’s Wonderful Photography for our wedding. Sara is so incredibly talented and her eye for detail is perfect. In saying that she made my wife and I feel comfortable and safe and we enjoyed every minute with her. She captured every shot that we wanted and some we never even thought of.
Sara didn’t only capture the pictures she was able to translate the mood. She told a story from the time with the bridal party before the wedding. Then myself and my groomsmen waiting for Katie to arrive at the church. The Ceremony itself. Then the carriage ride where she followed on bike and took amazing photos making are way through town. She had beautiful backdrops selected for Katie and I to take pictures by the boardwalk.
Then we pulled up to The Island House Hotel where she masterfully wrangled both are family and friends, 150 guests. She captured all the beauty surrounding that amazing venue and made us feel so incredibly special.
The reception photos are amazing and everyone at our wedding was represented.
Katie and I looking back at the photos can’t believe she didn’t have more photographers with her in her ability to take so many pictures with such variety.
If you are looking for the best experience with a photographer stop looking!!! Sara , at It’s Wonderful Photography is the only choice for you. Professional and so incredibly kind and only wants to make that day perfect for you.
Thank you Sara you will always be part of our memories on that special day.

I love sara!

I loved Sara's work from the minute my cousins showed me pictures of their weddings years ago and the editing was off the charts. Her colors are so vibrant and lively as if you are standing there in the picture. I knew whenever I got married, I would hire her as well due to the quality of her work. Sara is not only professional and talented, but she is so affordable! She ran the day with my crazy family and got so many shots I would have never thought of. I only got 33 photos so far as a sneak peak and I am already obsessed and can't wait to see all of them very soon!! I would hire Sara again and again and you should too! You will not be disappointed!

Amazing!

Sara is absolutely amazing! It was a no brainer to choose Sara and It's Wonderful Photography for our Michigan wedding. We actually met her several years ago at The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island in Michigan where she took our first "couple photo" on the porch. My soon-to-be-fiance then enlisted her to capture our engagement on the same porch. She effortlessly captured us as a couple on our wedding day, while also highlighting the beauty of our venue (Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, MI). She is an expert at putting together thoughtful shots and is an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with. Her positive energy is infectious and she makes you feel like the most beautiful person on the planet. She was able to capture some beautifully intimate moments of our ceremony and reception with such ease (I didn't even know she was there taking photos in those moments, AMAZING!) I can't recommend It's Wonderful Photography enough! Sara is a joy to work with, has a great, creative eye and most importantly was able to capture exactly who we are as a couple on our wedding day.

Sara is an immensely talented photographer who was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. She memorized what poses we wanted to have as a couple, and made sure that we got every shot. She effortlessly posed us, our bridal party, and our families, creating beautiful pictures that we will treasure forever. She also came up with great ideas for some very romantic and creative shots, which ended up being some of our favorites. Her pictures are full of vibrant color and emotions, and she really captured who we are as a couple, as well as the vibe of our bridal party and our wedding. Plus Sara is a fun and charismatic person to have around. She’s calm and instructive, and instantly makes you feel at home in front of a camera. Sara also uses a wonderful second shooter, Will, who made the guys feel right at home, and really helped to capture our entire wedding day. I can’t recommend Sara and It’s Wonderful Photography highly enough!

My husband and I used Sarah over the weekend for our wedding ceremony on Mackinac Island. I have been following Sarah for a year and seen all the photos she posted. I loved her work. I can't explain how special she made this day. She took all the photos we ever wanted. My whole wedding party loved her. She is super fast and able to get all the shots you need. I highly recommend her. By far the best experience I've ever had taking photos. Thank you so much Sarah for everything. You truly are appreciated.

I could not be happier with my decision to book Sara Wright. She was wonderful and so talented. We just got our photos back and every single one of them is amazing(all 1200!). She captured so many great moments, especially those candid shots that are so great. She was so easy to work with. She is a very sweet person that gets along with everyone and goes with the flow. She also knew how to get everyone where they were supposed to be to get the good shots. I could not believe the long day she put in to capture our wedding and was smiling the whole time. Book her!
