She’s Simply the Best!

Working with Sarah was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. One thing we did not even realize the importance of, was having a photographer we were comfortable with and Sarah immediately made us feel like old friends who had known each other for years. We met Sarah several times throughout the planning process and by the time we got to our wedding we were equally as excited to see Sarah and catch up as any of our wedding guests. She helped us plan and dictate so much of the timeline, she is extremely decisive and helped us nail down details we needed feedback on, she bent over backwards and even came up a day before to scope out some details because she had not shot at our venue. Lastly - her energy, attitude and positivity is absolutely contagious and infectious. She was such a fun person to have so close to you on your wedding day. We are already so excited with how our sneak peak pictures turned out and are so grateful to have had her capture our day.

Absolutely stunning photos and wonderful experience

Selecting Sarah as our wedding photographer was such a wonderful decision. She is a kind, creative individual and truly took the time to get to know us and our wedding vision. She was able to capture all the traditional wedding portraits while keeping us moving, laughing, and enjoying such an important day in the moment. She also is able to capture the beauty of nature in Vermont in such a dynamic style which was important to us as we had our ceremony outside on a family farm with lots of sentimental value. Overall Sarah is capable and decisive while adapting to the individual couple and wedding. One specific example of how Sarah was a perfect fit for us was that we had a short rain delay for our ceremony so she suggested taking some photos in a place inside with good lighting and we ended up doing a full photo shoot perched on a bathtub underneath hanging potted plants and the photos turned out wonderfully. Sarah is the type of person to lean into all your best ideas and make them come to life.

Where to even begin with Sarah? She is amazing on so many levels!!! We instantly clicked when we met with her. She is professional, easy-going, fun, lovable, and has an incredible ability to capture moments in photographs. Since we live out of town, we didn’t think we would get engagement pictures, but Sarah traveled to Chicago in the summer to shoot them. We had so much fun with her! On our wedding day, Sarah continued to be everything we could want and more. Every picture turned out incredible & our even our guests commented on how great she is! Sarah is such a genuine individual and we are so grateful to have found her. Thank you Sarah for everything!

We couldn’t be happier that our engagement photographer cancelled on us last minute, because it allowed us to meet Sarah! We knew as soon as we saw her portfolio that she should have been our photographer all along. Her fun and engaging personality made our engagement photo shoot a blast, and helped us relax and open up so she could capture some amazing candid shots.
We booked Sarah for our wedding date immediately after seeing the results of our engagement photo shoot. Her professionalism and involvement really put us at ease and allowed us to relax on the day of with the knowledge that all of our important moments would be captured. She kept us on time to make sure we got the beach shots we wanted and came up with original and creative ideas to tie thematic elements from our wedding photos back into our original engagement photos.
While working with Sarah was awesome, that experience pales in comparison to the absolute works of art we received from both our engagement and wedding. These aren’t photos to put in an album on a shelf you pull out on anniversaries—these are works of art we’re proud to showcase around our home! Both the staged photos and the candids are simply perfect. The passion and pride Sarah has for her work is obvious in the attention to detail on every photo.
Sarah is every bit as professional as she is fun and creative. Simply put, if you are getting married, hire Sarah!

Sarah was wonderful! She has an amazing energy that will light up any room and will make anyone smile. She was truly was a delight to work with. We had a destination wedding in St. Augustine and she made so much time to get to know us from far away. We enjoyed coffee together, a meeting at the pre- wedding beach house,a great engagement shoot with her,and oysters after together. Our wedding took place on the schooner freedom charter on a very windy day. Her flexibility and grace on this windy but beautiful day put us all at ease. Sarah has a sense a great sense of humor and great energy and if you are photo shy like me she knows how to make any shoot fun. Our wedding was small with immediate family and she fit right in to this small intimate wedding. Our pictures where amazing and each one of them is much deserving of a frame. When she sent the photo gallery of this wedding day it brought tears to my eyes and I cried while going through each picture. They were simply stunning and captured each moment of the best day of my life. Her creativity is outstanding. I am so happy that we used Sarah for our wedding day and that we have pictures that truly capture this beautiful day. They are memories that I will always cherish . She was able to capture in the moment pictures (my dad putting a handmade shaw around me and an impromptu bouquet toss after everyone had boarded off the boat). Truly an exquisite photographer and beautiful person.

If you choose Sarah as your wedding photographer, you are in GOOD hands! Her bubbly personality and creative photoshoots foster an environment of pure joy. I had the pleasure of hiring Sarah while she was my roommate in college, we had a blast while maintaining a level of professionalism. I relive my wedding countless times due to her incredible photos. I'm forever thankful for Sarah's passion and hard work to capture such precious moments!

I admit that I was not looking forward to selecting a wedding photographer. The thought of spending a good chunk of change on generic photos was not appealing to me. Thankfully, we lucked out with Sarah. After browsing Sarah's portfolio, it was a no brainer. Her style came across as very laid back and organic to me, which is exactly what I was looking for.

From day one, Sarah showed a genuine interest in getting to know us and we enjoyed getting to know her as well --- her talents far exceed those of photography! She is a very passionate and driven person and it shows in all that she does. She was so easy to work with, very responsive to e-mails and texts and very thorough in helping shape the timeline. She also helped me pull off a surprise for my husband :) Her second shooter, Kelly, was great too. His portfolio is just as impressive as Sarah's. They jive well together.

I really can't say enough about Sarah. She even attended our rehearsal dinner and mingled with all our family and friends. You'd be hard pressed to find a better photographer to capture your day!

Every bride needs to have a Sarah for ALL of their wedding festivities.

I don't know where to begin. From the moment that we met, Sarah was absolutely down to earth, personable and dedicated to her craft. Sarah spent the time to get to know my husband and me throughout the entire process. My husband hates having his picture taken and Sarah was able to pull a fun side out of him with pictures that truly took my breath away. From the engagement session, to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, and for the full wedding day, Sarah was my #1. She was so helpful even with keeping track of our schedule and even helping when my bustle button popped off. :)

Sarah did so much more than just take pictures. She created such a fun environment for myself and our entire wedding party. Everyone fell in love with Sarah by the end of the weekend.

And now a little something about her pictures. BEAUTIFUL doesn't begin to describe it. Sarah was able to capture the style and lighting that both my husband and I love. She made us look out best and the pictures captured the beautiful scenery and special moments shared between my parents, my bridal party, and my groom and me. She is creative and always willing to try something new and exciting. She was such a trooper the entire day. I know now, that the day would have been a little less bright without Sarah involved.

Sarah's second shooter, Kelly, was AWESOME! He and Sarah gel so well together in their styles. They complimented one another very nicely. I couldn't imagine a better team. Both Kelly and Sarah worked so well with our videographer as well. It was the dream team!

What an amazing human and such a talented photographer. I can't praise her enough and my wish is that all other brides are as lucky as I felt to have an amazing team surround them on their wedding days.
