Sarah is Amazing!

We booked Sarah for our July 2023 Wedding at the Historic Post Office, and we are so glad we did! After finding Sarah on social media, we reached out to inquire about our date, and communication was seamless from the start. Sarah was super flexible about our ever changing schedule when it came to picking an engagement shoot day, and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. Sarah was great at balancing her direction of our poses with letting us be ourselves! She is down to earth, funny, personable, and we loved having the engagement shoot with her before our wedding day. As far as the wedding day itself, she was amazing throughout the whole process including the weeks leading up to it. The photos she captured of some of the most special moments of our lives were better than we even imagined. Alex and I, along with all of our guests, were so impressed by her professionalism as well as how quickly she delivered such an amazing gallery of photos. Honestly, it's been so difficult choosing our favorites, they're THAT good! We couldn't be more thankful to have snagged Sarah for our big day, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Hampton Roads area!

Best Wedding Photographer!!

My husband and I highly recommend Sarah Lin for a wedding photographer. From the beginning, she was professional and organized while also bringing our own personalities into the process. She helped us structure our day so that we could have plenty of time for photos but also let things flow organically and enjoy time with our guests. And the photos reflected that- natural but beautiful shots of everyone having fun, relaxing and enjoying themselves. The photos were truly beyond our expectations. Not only that, she created a slideshow during dinner so that we could see some sneak peeks even before the wedding was over! We also got all of our photos within a couple weeks of the wedding, which was a shorter wait period than I had heard from friends. All in all, can’t say enough good things about Sarah and recommend her to anyone!

Artistic, Talented, Friendly & Dedicated

Sarah went above and beyond to make our wedding photos incredibly special. From the initial planning process, to the bridal shoot, to the rehearsal dinner, to the final sendoff, she was there with us every step of the way to capture every moment. Sarah is very sweet, positive and friendly. She was a welcome addition to our guest list, fitting right in with family and friends. We are very thankful to have had someone so talented and dedicated to capture our special day and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful wedding photographer.

Incredible experience!

Sarah did an awesome job capturing our engagement photos and our wedding day! She was incredibly flexible as we were dodging rain for our engagement photos. She worked with us as we rescheduled and adapted our plan multiple times. Even though it started raining during our engagement photos, Sarah embraced the moment and we captured some really fun, unique pictures in the pouring rain. As far as our wedding day, she did an amazing job being attentive to what we wanted and beautifully captured our day! Our photos, both candid and posed photos, were all gorgeous and I still love looking back at all of them! I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their special moments!

Love Love Love my photos

My husband and I hired Sarah to do a post wedding photo shoot for us since we didn't have a wedding. She came HIGHLY recommended from many family and friends. Sarah made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera (my husband and I are a bit camera shy). She incorporated our personalities into every photo, made us laugh along the way, and in return have the best photos to remember our special day. 10 out of 10, recommend Sarah Lin Photography.

Organized, Professional, and Fun!

Sarah is incredibly organized and professional, not to mention her talent in capturing candid and natural photos! We could feel everyone's emotions so clearly when looking back at the photos and felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again! Sarah was great to work with and so fun and engaging throughout all of our sessions. She kept our large group in order but also made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend Sarah Lin!

Like working with a great friend!

I have been following Sarah's photography account for a while, so when my fiancé and I finally got to work with her it was an absolute dream! Sarah was super responsive and helpful as we picked a date for the session. We did our photos on the National Mall in DC. Sarah really listened to the specific spots I wanted for our photos and even found some new creative ones I never would have thought of! Sarah is so fun and charismatic, so the session was an absolute blast. It felt like hanging with a good friend which made for really natural and comfortable shots. The photos we got back were absolutely AMAZING and such high quality. Sarah captured exactly what I had described while we were booking her and I can't wait to cherish these photos for rest of our lives.

One of our best decisions

We booked Sarah for a couple of hours on our wedding day. We didn’t have a huge budget but also knew we wanted quality pictures of the day. Sarah delivered! She communicated clearly and celebrated with us as if we were lifelong friends! The pictures were AMAZING and the links shared with us way faster than we imagined. My parents even commented on how discrete she was, most of the pictures we had no clue she was taking! She did a fantastic job without being intrusive which allowed us to be comfortable and ourselves.

Fantastic Wedding Photographer

As we planned our wedding, one of the best choices we made was our wedding photographer, Sarah Lin Photography. I say the best because Sarah was helpful, flexible, efficient, and professional. Sarah was helpful by offering different packages to work with our budget and suggesting different ideas. She was flexible as we made last minute decisions. Efficient because we were able to do all of our bride and groom and bridal party pictures before the wedding and family pictures quickly so we could join the cocktail hour. Sarah was also professional from the beginning to the end. She was quick to answer any and all questions, showed up on time, and the quality of pictures turned out great (which she gave to us before we left for our honeymoon!!).

We are so grateful for Sarah Lin Photography and highly recommend her services.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
