Photos from the Harty specializes in wedding, event, and lifestyle photography. We are based in DC but have photographed weddings all over the world. Our goal is to tell the story of any event or wedding by capturing even the tiniest, yet immensely important, moments; we believe that the raw moments in life are already perfect, and we strive to capture those things happening in real-time in order to tell the story of your day as it is.
We've learned a lot from capturing and being a part of all types of special moments, especially weddings. One thing that has really stuck with us through the years is that
It’s not only important to love your pictures - you should also love your photographers!
You will spend more time with us on your wedding day than anyone else. We’ll be there to help you through anything that may arise; we love to laugh and we believe that making people happy is one of the best feelings in the world. We're not afraid to crack jokes or tear up during the ceremony; we really invest in knowing you and what makes you happy/beautiful/perfect; more often than not, we bustle the bride's dress, pin boutonnières, fix guests' outfits or hair, and even tie bowties. We want to do whatever it takes to make your wedding day perfect. That's just us! :)
So, keep reading to get to know us better. If you like what you read and like what you see, please reach out to us. We look forward to meeting you!

Sara, Founder + Photographer
I grew up in the country; I love living in the city
My favorite moments are the ones when I find myself smiling in silence
My brother gave me a popcorn maker for my birthday and it might be the best thing I've ever received
I shot stills for a horror movie; afterward, I tried to watch it, but was too scared
I read multiple books at one time
Snow will never lose its luster
My favorite color is red
My best friend and I met when we were six years old
I burn everything I put in the toaster; at this point, it's almost a talent
I am VERY easily excited
Katie, Photographer
I've lived in the DMV my entire life, but have traveled most of the country
I am a firm believer that one can never have too many fuzzy blankets
My favorite food is parmesan cheese; I will literally spoon feed it to myself or take bites out of it like a mouse
I was a figure skater for 15 years and a dancer for 18
I was Louise Belcher for Halloween before it was cool
Destinations on my travel bucket list are Greece, Hawaii, and Peru
If I'm not busy photographing something, I'm probably dog sitting
Chris, Photographer
I grew up in Texas near Galveston. I've been in the DC area since 2005. No, I'm not moving back; I love having four seasons
Mussels, oysters, and Belgian beers are my weakness
I got into photography by accident. My wife who bought a camera to take photos of our son
I'm really into science and science fiction books
My wife would say I'm a perfectionist; I say I am very thorough and organized
I like pumpkin beer, coffee, and pies in the Fall
Audiobooks are my secret to dealing with traffic and long road trips

Photos from the Harty was so awesome. We had originally looked at a bunch of different photographers' websites, and we were drawn to Photos form the Harty because their shots were so colorful and alive, which is how we wanted to be able to remember our day.
Sarah and Katie were super easy to work with, they got to know us, and the result was STUNNING. Their photos captured all the fun, the spirit, and the vibrancy of the wedding day. They were also really fun and positive to be around all day, and they helped out with all things big and small (dress bustling, orchestrating family picture time, etc.). I appreciated that they were flexible with the timing of the day (which got away from us), and that they didn't interfere with the experience of the wedding day by posing us for pictures all night. We would highly recommend Photos from the Harty to other couples.

Sara and Katie are the BEST! I had multiple members of my bridal party, family, and friends tell me how comfortable they felt around the photographers. In addition, they were extremely attentive, totally understood the look we were going for, and made the whole photo experience fun!

I knew Katie and Sara from high school so it was an easy choice for me. But they exceeded all expectations and were so amazing. They insisted that we meet up and talk before actually booking them to make sure we were a good match. They had the best advice... "You have to spend all day with us so liking us is just as important as how good your photos are". And we had so much fun. My husband and his friends loved doing all of the getting ready pictures too. Another thing you do not think about is how easy it is to get your photos afterwards. They sent out a whopping sneak preview of 80 photos! And then the total amount was 1580 glorious photos. The sharing link is so simple and there is even an app which I love for pulling up photos to show friends from my phone. Everyone at the wedding cannot believe how amazing the photos look. Katie and Sara were so professional, patient with the elders and flexible. They blended right in at the wedding and wore cute dresses and flats. They were running around, climbing up on things for a cool above view and getting so many candids. They honestly amaze me!
Photos from The Harty is an amazing photography team! They always go above and beyond for their clients and are a pleasure to work with! Highly reccomend!
