Sarah Culver Photography

When planning our wedding, I knew that one of my top priorities would be to find an amazing photographer. Sarah was recommended to us by the person who designed our wedding invitations (so I knew that I would probably like her since we had similar taste!) Once I checked out Sarah's website and we first met over zoom, I knew that I wanted her to be a part of our day. I appreciated how transparent and simple her pricing is. She also has a very calming presence that I knew would put my husband and I at ease during a busy wedding day. During the wedding day, Sarah was extremely organized and helpful at directing family and friends. At other weddings, I often notice that the videographer and photographers because the flashes and running around can get pretty distracting, but Sarah somehow managed to get all the shots while remaining unobtrusive! We recently got our wedding photos back and are just thrilled with how they turned out! Receiving the flash drive with all the files in a beautiful box with several gorgeous prints was a real treat and surprise! Many of our friends and family have commented on how artistic and beautiful the shots are. I love her use of light and the thoughtfulness of the composition. We were also super impressed by the number and variety of shots she got of the day with just one photographer! My husband and I are still reminiscing about how perfect our wedding day was. If we could do it all again just to re-live the day, we would and we would definitely book Sarah again.

Having seen samplings of Sarah’s work, we knew her style of photography was how we wanted to remember our wedding day. But we were still blown away when we received our album of photos (a speedy ten weeks after our wedding day, even though it was the height of her busy season!!) The photos are glowing, capturing the character of the church, the wedding venue, and the feeling of the day. Most important to us were having photos that felt unposed (and lots of true candids of ourselves and our guests!) and Sarah’s eye truly shines here - we relished seeing the moments we had missed as our guests celebrated, saw old friends, held new babies, shared personal moments, and joined with us in our joy. She captured all the precious moments of the day, from the friends in the middle of cooking over the fire, to sweet candid moments with our parents, siblings, and nieces, to dazzling moments on the dance floor. Our couples pictures were gorgeous, and Sarah directed us through that session efficiently and kindly - helping us feel comfortable and giving us beautiful pictures that feel as dreamy and romantic as the day itself. She also captured so many candid moments of sincere emotion between us, which may be our most favorite photos of the day. Sarah was also an extremely discreet presence during the wedding ceremony and reception. You hardly felt her presence (outside the formal photography moments), and yet she managed to capture the perfect moments from the perfect angle. At the same time, she did a fantastic job managing our large family during the formal portraits session, making it brief, efficient, and producing simply charming, human, yet traditonal photos we will treasure for years. We already look forward to reliving the day with our children and grandchildren, and are so grateful that we will Sarah’s pictures to give them such a true window into our special day. We are so happy we chose Sarah to photograph our wedding and recommend her to absolutely everyone. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your exquisite eye, your wise guidance, and your talent with us!!

Sarah facilitated the most relaxed, creative, inspiring and grounded experience when she photographed our wedding. She is a total joy to have at any event and WOW are her photos gorgeous! She really listened to each and every preference that we communicated beforehand, and made everything work efficiently, professionally and beautifully throughout the entire process.
