Absolute Pleasure To Work With

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sara D’Ambra Photography. From the moment she and her partner arrived on our wedding day, they brought a calm, joyful energy that instantly put us at ease. As someone who often feels awkward in front of the camera, I was amazed at how effortlessly they guided us through every pose and moment. Somehow, I felt like a model without even trying.
Sara has an extraordinary gift—not just for capturing beautiful images, but for making people feel seen, confident, and celebrated. Every photo we received is a piece of art, filled with emotion, light, and timeless beauty. She didn’t just document our wedding—she told our love story through her lens.
Hiring Sara was one of the best decisions we made, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is equal parts talented, professional, and genuinely kind. She exceeded every expectation and gave us memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Would definitely 100% recommend

Both Jay and I can't thank Sara and Matteo enough for capturing the most beautiful and precious moments for our intimate wedding in Villa Monastero. Although we were based in different countries and all we had was a short video call prior to the wedding, we were already so at ease with Sara during our chat where we discussed the flow and photography vibes. Sara made us feel so comfortable during the photography session and was guiding us seamlessly with poses while open to our ideas. It was truly such a smooth experience and Sara was so professional and kind that we sometimes forgot there was a camera and was truly just soaking in those moments. Matteo produced a wonderful reel for us and we also received some professional shots from Sara literally the day after. We received all the photos in less than 3 months and all we can say is that they were perfect and no one could have done it any better than Sara. We are truly grateful to share those moments with her and those memories are something we will cherish forever. P.S Sara even helped with my hairdo as I was doing my own hair and makeup!

Intimate Lake Como Wedding

We had such a pleasure working with Sara. I was unsure about using a local photographer being US based but we are so happy with our decision! Sara is extremely responsive and so kind. We have so many lovely photos from our day we couldn’t be happier!

Absolutely incredible - no words for Sara...!

I did an overwhelming amount of research right from the outset when looking for photographers for my Lake Como proposal. I started to speak to multiple photographers because what I had in mind was something I just needed to share the vision with the photographer.

From our first conversation instantly it felt Sara understood me. She got the vision immediately and was supporting me with ideas from her experience and I felt super comfortable sharing quite literally everything with her as time went on and the proposal date came nearer. She helped me calm my nerves also! Her previous experience of work echoed super attention to detail, elegance and class throughout and that's exactly what I wanted from her for my shoot. We even discussed what the angle of the sun for optimal light will be - so rest assured you're going to be in excellent hands! Needless to say it all came together and honestly my fiancée and I couldn't be happier looking back at the entire day. The whole choreography of where to go and how to pose and essentially just coordinating during quite a public place was something we were so impressed by. Our video and photos came back so amazingly well done and edited - we honestly could not ask more! Thank you so much Sara for making our day so special!

Not just a "photographer", she created beautiful moments!

Sara wasn't just a photographer, she created special moments and captured them so beautifully. Sara and Matteu both captured all the moments we would've wanted to hold on to! I'm so happy looking back at our pictures, we now have these beautiful memories to hold forever! Thank you so much for making our day just that much more memorial.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
