More than photos, Sarah told the story of our day beautifully.

Sarah and team exceeded our expectations in every way. We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Sarah. From the very beginning, she made the entire experience feel effortless, personal, and genuinely special. On our wedding day, she brought such a calm, confident presence that allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment—while somehow capturing it all perfectly.

When we received our photos, we were honestly blown away. Every image told the story of our day in a way that was even more beautiful than we remembered. The emotion, the details, the candid moments—we didn’t just get photos, we got memories preserved forever. Choosing Sarah was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Without question, Sarah is now our photographer for life. From here on out, she will be capturing all of our family’s most important moments.

If you’re considering her, don’t hesitate. She is absolutely phenomenal.

The best wedding photographer - capturing all of our moments!

We made the decision to work with Sarah through a recommendation from our wedding planner. She is an amazing photographer and does an excellent job of helping to understand the goals of her clients. Sarah worked with us through 2 wedding postponements (third time's the charm!) and truly gave us the most memorable day. We have gotten so much great feedback on all of our photos and I am so thankful we chose to work with Sarah for our big day! My goal with finding a wedding photographer was to find someone who could really help the energy of specific moments shine through. Sarah has always done just that. Not to mention, she is amazing to work with - and I would recommend working with her to anyone!

Sarah Joann Photography is SO amazing!!!

Hiring Sarah to shoot our wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made. As a fellow wedding photographer myself, I tend to be somewhat picky. But right from the first conversation we had with Sarah, my husband and I knew we didn't want anyone else to capture our day. Her work is amazing and her use of light and ability to capture raw emotion, in even the quickest of moments, blows me away. Not only is she a true artist and storyteller but she's also so down to earth and wonderful to work with. She keeps things on schedule and stress free and has become such a friend throughout this whole process. I truly can't recommend Sarah enough to capture your perfect wedding day!

Barn Wedding in Ohio

Sarah Joann Photography was amazing to work with! We actually found Sarah through her parents who operate a wedding venue in Ohio - The Barn at Wolf Creek. Sarah traveled up for the weekend for our wedding and she was so easy to work with. We scheduled a mini-engagement session with her about 10 months before the wedding as neither of us are models- and it happened to be the hottest day of the year in 2018. I was worried that the pictures would not turn out since we were both sweaty and hot...but they were gorgeous. The day of our wedding she brought a second shooter and spent the day with us - getting ready- capturing the small details- first look- wedding party-ceremony- family photos-couple photos and reception. We loved all of the images and my friends and family were so impressed. Sarah was exactly the style we were looking for and now we have beautiful photos to remember a magical day. :)

Picked the photographer!

Communicating with Sarah has been great and very relaxed. We connected and hit it off right away- which was also important to me when picking a photographer. Can't wait to work with her the day of the wedding!

Seriously, the best!!

I lost count of how many wedding photographer's I reached out to, and I had so many emails from them on quotes and what's included in their packages. But you know what stuck out about Sarah? She called me. No one calls anyone anymore these days! But she picked up the phone and called me, and answered all my questions right then. I knew after that phone call that she was the one. I just felt things click with her, and the rest is history! haha We had our engagement session with her, and I'm so glad we did that. It gave us a chance to meet her, and get all the awkward kinks out of being photographed. Fast forward to the wedding. Sarah and her husband make such a great photography team. They were SO much fun!! They really made wedding party pics and family pics such a smooth and fun experience for everyone. I've only gotten some sneak peek pictures back so far, and I'm just absolutely amazed. I cannot WAIT to get the rest of my pictures. Sarah, we truly made the best decision hiring you for our wedding. Thank you SO much!!!

Sarah is the best photographer ever!

Sarah was absolutely amazing! We had her do our engagement photos as well and the quality is amazing - so we booked her for the wedding day! Sarah is extremely friendly and fun - making the photos even more natural as we were so comfortable with her. She was a total professional and clearly knows what she's doing - our photos turned out better than I could have dreamed. She is quick to reply to emails and texts and delivered the photos exactly when she said she would! I will be using Sarah for any of my future photography needs and I highly encourage you to book her!

The Absolute Best!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experiences working with Sarah and her husband, Kyle. From our first meeting with Sarah, she was beyond professional, organized, and answered every question we had. During our engagement shoot, as well on our wedding day, she always made us feel so comfortable and made the process feel effortless. Due to her amazing talent and wonderful suggestions (she picked out the most perfect locations for us!), we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Our friends and family are still raving about how beautiful the photographs are and how much they enjoyed working with Sarah and Kyle. They captured every moment in such a perfect way and we look forward to cherishing our photos forever. We cannot wait to work with her again!

Perfection.

Sarah and her husband Kyle were...well perfect. Our experience with them was very professional but relaxed. Our pictures were done pre wedding due to lighting, and they knew just what to say to calm our nerves to allow us to enjoy the photo session. Most importantly, the pictures turned out beautiful.

She will make you look skinny and beautiful!

Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with! My pictures turned out way more beautiful than I had imagined. Normally after a photoshoot you would expect to scan through and find all the pictures you loved and the pictures that made you look bad. I was 6 months pregnant for my big day but I didn't want to see the baby weight anywhere except for my tummy. She knows how to emphasize your best features and minimize things fit you don't want to see on your wedding day! Instead, she captured all the emotion and love and I truly felt beautiful. I truly loved every single picture. My husband and I also found it was comfortable and fun to work with her. Sarah made some suggestions to restructure my wedding schedule. Obviously I had no idea how the timing that I already planned would affect my stress level. The suggestions that she made created a stress free flowing day where I was able to enjoy all the time with my family and friends without having to worry about squeezing pictures in. It was a game-changer! I recommend her highly!
