Sarah & Ben

Every bride & groom’s journey toward their magical day is always filled with frenzy chaos; however, ours was extraordinarily so with the process of a full renovation to our newly purchased home along with the passing of our 2 beloved fur babies. It was such a bittersweet time for us. Having Sarah and Ben photograph us was the best and easiest decision we made. It was like having our friends shoot us. They certainly know how to dote on their bride and groom as well as going above and beyond: from my initial phone call with Sarah to the day of our wedding when Sarah had to get a photo of ours printed at the last minute for our guest sign in frame. For us, it is all about trust, rapport and being comfortable especially because you spend more time with your photographer(s) than your soon-to-be-spouse on your wedding day.
Not only did Sarah & Ben deliver on both our engagement shoot (providing lots of ideas to incorporate our wedding favors to honor our fur babies) and wedding day photos, they did so with so much class, creativity and ingenuity. They make your session yours; like no others before or after you. They are so detail-oriented, personable, unique and original. We had so much fun with them; their love and zest for their “work” shines through in all they do. Thank You so much, Sarah and Ben for capturing our love, and the love that surrounded us on our beautiful wedding day. We definitely found our family photographer in you as well as lifelong friends. Patrick and I adore you to pieces and we can’t wait for our next photo session with our puppies.

I don't have all of the pictures back yet but they were timely, professional, know how to get it all done quickly so you can enjoy your day, and just a bunch of fun to work with!! Love them both!!

Sarah & Ben were the first and easiest decision that we made for our wedding. In fact, when we met Sarah & Ben four years ago, long before we were engaged, we knew we would plan our day around making sure they could be there. Their own love story is inspiring, their joy and laughter contagious, and their talent unmatched. We could not have made a better choice in photographers and now our families and friends love them just as much as we do!

Sarah & Ben brought so much fun, laughter, and beauty to our best day ever. But, that's not all! Just as important as the joy they captured with ease on our wedding day, Sarah & Ben were such a delight to work with throughout the wedding planning process. They worked with our crazy schedule (I was planning a wedding in Florida while stationed across the world in Okinawa, Japan), providing an easy-to-use client portal that walked us through the photo planning process step-by-step, and asked and answered all the right questions (most of which we didn't even know we had) along the way.

They are patient, organized, generous with their time and talent, and brilliant – true artists and true professionals! We are forever and ever grateful to Sarah & Ben for capturing our very own happily ever after.

These two were amazing! They wrangled our family and friends to get photos done quickly and beautifully so that we could get to our reception and enjoy the party. They capture the love between people, whether husband and wife, father and daughter, or best friends. I couldn't ask for more. You need to hire them!

We hired Sarah and Ben after looking at some of their photos online of other weddings at our venue. As an out-of-state couple, we really appreciated how communicative they were. They were always willing to Skype/phone/email with us, especially as we got closer to the wedding date itself. In fact, we loved working with them so much that we flew them to our city to do our engagement photos, which came out STUNNING! Their personalities are so positive and joyful, and we loved spending the day with them. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and it shows in our wedding photos. They are GORGEOUS! We have so many incredible photos from our special day, and it's all thanks to Sarah and Ben.

Trying to review Sarah & Ben honestly make me speechless. They are PHENOMENAL! They are the kindest, most talented, funniest, wonderful people we know. We couldn't think of any duo better to capture our perfect day. No need to look any further, Sarah & Ben are the best. They capture the beauty of your relationship and day, make you feel comfortable, and most importantly make you have fun! Thank you so much Sarah & Ben, we love you guys!!

Selecting Sarah and Ben was the easiest decision of our wedding. Their availability actually determined our wedding date. They are absolute rays of sunshine, and their adorable hilarity makes even the most awkward feel comfortable, natural, and dare-I-say glamorous. Their love for each other and for their profession is contagious; they are exactly the people you want around you on your wedding day. Thank you, Sarah and Ben, for emanating joy and seeing beauty everywhere you go. It was such a gift to see our wedding through your eyes and lens.

Meeting Sarah & Ben was the best thing to happen to us (aside from being proposed to/meeting my now husband). In our search for a photographer, we were really looking for someone we connected with-- this included photography style as well as on a personal level. I found Sarah and Ben Photography after researching & referrals from close friends. Our friends described Sarah & Ben as personable, friendly, and extremely talented. Our friends were only partially right because Sarah & Ben are SO MUCH MORE.

When meeting Sarah & Ben for the first time, it was like we were meeting with our long lost friends. What was supposed to be a short meeting turned into 1.5 hours & we could have kept chatting! What I instantly loved about them was that they were approachable & friendly but still very focused on making sure that we would be a priority amongst family & friends on our wedding day.

Our engagement photo session was a blast & it was largely due to the way Sarah & Ben work with one another. They compliment one another both personally & professionally and this is very evident. They have a unique balance working together to capture just the right angles but do it in a way that makes you feel comfortable & relaxed which is so important in trying to capture these intimate & natural-looking moments.

Prior to our wedding day, Sarah & Ben were the best sounding board for me. They were one of the first vendors I booked & I can honestly say that without them, I do not think I would have been half as comfortable or happy with our wedding. My favorite moment was during our wedding , I grabbed Sarah's hand to introduce her to all of my friends, as my friend! I loved more than anything that Sarah was with me throughout my wedding day and that Ben was able to be with the men.

There are so many more moments I want to share to further commend and illustrate why Sarah & Ben Photography are the best of the best however I will spare you all copious amounts of reading and highlight the top things I love about them.

- Personality- truly genuine people
- Feel like friends
- Will go the extra mile- on numerous occasions, both Sarah & Ben would go above and beyond to help pre/post wedding. We even asked to extend our wedding by an hour and without any hesitation, Sarah and Ben were excited to capture more of our special day.
- Details, details, details- They are so incredible when it comes to remembering those special moments-- you'll see :)
- Great communication- always responsive, always timely on delivery of photos and email communications
- Competitive Pricing
- Professional- polite, courteous and stuck to the timeline but did so in a way that brings clients along so it doesn't feel like a timeline at all
- Family and friends loved them- I cannot stress this one enough. Our family have swooned over our engagement photos but they cannot stop talking about how incredible Sarah & Ben were during our wedding reception. They were so accommodating when family/friends asked for a photo & were working diligently to capture as many moments as possible

I'm so glad that Sarah & Ben were such a special part of our wedding. Sarah & Ben gave us the greatest gift of all by helping us feel confident, comfortable and relaxed. I am exceptionally grateful for everything Sarah & Ben did for us and would highly recommend them for your photography needs!

Our anniversary was last week so this review is LONG overdue but I finally think I have the words to adequately express my gratitude and awe for Sarah and Ben. Every step of the process we were treated as not only clients but friends they cared about. From the little gifts and cards they sent along the way to making us feel like total rockstars the day of (even when Sarah was SEVEN months pregnant!! She was the real rockstar) to helping get our album just right, they truly went above and beyond for us. As a long distance couple stationed in Hawaii, we were worried about communication but they were so prompt with responding to our emails and answering all of my questions, no matter how silly they were.

Other than their amazing personalities and professionalism, these photos are everything I could have ever wanted and MORE. The quality of the images is absolutely breathtaking and each shot was perfect. Even when my in-laws did a surprise dance number at the reception with no warning, they were right there capturing the antics. And somehow they managed to wrangle the groomsmen [see attached photo] to get pictures worthy of framing. They captured the feelings and emotions of the day and everyone who has seen them have said they are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. I show my wedding album to everyone who comes over to my house which I’m sure is a little excessive but I just love it so much!

Also, since we were 5,000 miles away for our engagement we used our engagement shoot for our rehearsal dinner the night before! Sarah and Ben captured some amazing candid photos of our family members and the over the top amazing decorations my in-laws prepared.

In short, hire Sarah and Ben as your wedding photographers; it will be the best money you spend during the whole planning process. Photos last far longer than anything else from your special day and these are photos you can pass on for generations that proudly continue to tell your love story.

Bottom Line: Hire Sarah & Ben; they were right up there with my venue for being THE BEST vendors we hired throughout our wedding planning process.

I could honestly go on and on about Sarah & Ben, but I want to make sure I provide all of the information you need to hire them. So, I'll start with the basics/tangible things that made hiring them such a fantastic choice. They are organized, professional, super responsive, and help guide you throughout the entire process. They make it perfectly clear that they know exactly how to shoot a wedding, including how much time each thing needs to get it just right, and making sure that all of your photos are absolutely stunning. They don't overprocess or over "filter" things. I honestly feel like the images they curate are true-to-life, there's no weird sepia/orange/too bright colors in anything. If you want to see photos that recreate the day of your wedding, this is the look to go for. They are also extremely outgoing, charming, and charismatic. So, if you (like me and my now-husband) have not spent much time in front of a camera, they put you at ease (they tell you where to put your hands!) and make you genuinely laugh throughout the session. This is why their included engagement session is so important, you get used to how to pose for the photos so that it looks like you're NOT posing.

Finally, the biggest and most important and most intangible part of working with them and seeing the images they created is the feeling they give me when I look at them. It's honestly the best thing to have "left behind" after all the wedding stuff is over. In essence, the images that S&B created are priceless: what else is there to say?! Hire them!! :)

Sarah & Ben make an excellent team! I found them online and what originally attracted me to them was how snazzy their website was! When we video chatted with them to meet them, they were so friendly, kind and professional. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah & Ben were great at communicating with us and we felt like we were in good hands. Sarah & Ben understood how we wanted our photos without us even really having to explain it - that's how good they are. Our photos turned out beautifully and we're so proud of show them off to our family and friends. We would highly recommend Sarah & Ben for your wedding photographers - I promise their work (and Sarah's infectious laugh) will keep you happy you did!

I cannot put into words how absolutely amazing Sarah and Ben are. From the day that I first reached out to them, I knew THEY WERE THE ONE! They were so responsive, so helpful, so kind and so so talented. I didn't have photographers following me around on my wedding day. Instead it felt like I had two friends sharing the day with us. Both our engagement session and wedding photos were so much fun. They made us genuinely laugh and enjoy every moment. Following my wedding day, I had so many guests commenting on how fun my photographers were, and how amazing my pictures turned out. Each "sneak peek" I was able to share on social media meant that I was flooded with comments and messages about how amazing my pictures were.

In our initial skype conversation, it was supposed to be about business, but we ended up just laughing with them for about 2 hours about TV shows, our dogs, and just life in general! They are so personal and really open up which helps you feel more comfortable. Leading up to the engagement shoot, Sarah and Ben reached out to us with advice, recommendations to look our best, and answered ALL of our questions. For the first few photos, you kind of feel out of place and aren't sure what to do, but they help navigate you through poses. Since they are pretty hilarious and witty behind the camera, it helps to lighten the mood and make you look "less stiff" in photos - basically you end up having a lot of fun with it, even if you are camera shy! There are times that I just was so beside myself with their collaboration vision and how they would read eachothers minds. For the wedding, I was in complete shock when Sarah and Ben emailed me of a minute by minute timeline of our entire DAY! Another amazing thing that they did that sets them apart is they asked for "MUST HAVE" photo groupings of extended family so they could take the photo and let your family enjoy cocktail hour. When my wedding photos came out, it literally brought me to tears at work when I saw them. I had no idea that they could tell the story of a day like that, but I felt as if I were reliving my wedding again through each photo. Sarah & Ben know how to capture you and your spouse, to where you can pass these photographs down from generation to generation and they will remain timeless. Every one of their photographs captured the love, energy and excitement that you experience on that day and touches other people that couldn’t be there to experience it with you. All those details that you spent HOURS planning for will be remembered, thanks to Sarah and Ben. I will never forget them because of their amazing work, humor, ability to control my CRAZY wedding party the day of, and make your special day effortless

Sarah & Ben captured our wedding in the most incredible way and every time I go back to look at the photos I am blown away by their timeless beauty. I am transported back to the day of love and laughter and they made my favorite day, stand still in time. S&B were friendly, compassionate, hilarious, and became part of the family. You will not be disappointed when picking them to capture your love.

There are so many amazing things to say about these two it is truly hard to know where to start. I was planning my wedding remotely and am not from the Tampa area and by some miracle found Sarah & Ben on a wedding website. From the second I reached out to them, they were friendly and warm and so responsive. We had a skype call for our first meeting and it became clear that Sarah & Ben are not just photographers, but kind people who are invested in doing anything they can to help make your wedding process special. Sarah went back and forth with me several times to help me pick the perfect locations for our engagement sessions. My husband and I are not typically comfortable in front of a camera, but they made us feel completely at ease and helped make the process enjoyable. Leading up to the wedding, I noticed I was relying heavily on Sarah for wedding-related advice, basically making her my photographer and wedding planner. They went above and beyond and always made me feel like no request was too much. On our wedding day, Sarah helped coordinate the timeline and they even drove my husband to our wedding venue after we had to make a quick back-up plan for our first look. She also helps everyone pose in a flattering way, which I now think about whenever I take a picture!

The quality of their pictures is phenomenal! Everything was timely and more amazing then I could have expected. Every detail was accounted for and they caught moments I didn’t even remember. After receiving the pictures, I became useless at work because I couldn’t stop looking at them and I pretty much sent them to everyone I know . Sarah & Ben are two people who love what they do and I absolutely loved every minute of working with them!
