The most breathtaking pictures and an amazing experience!!!

I highly recommend Sarah for your wedding photography needs. Not only did she take the most gorgeous pictures I've ever seen, but she made the experience enjoyable for everyone. We had an intimate ceremony with our parents, siblings, and nieces/nephews in White Point Garden. Sarah gave us all direction while establishing a comfortable and humorous environment. She worked great with everyone of all ages to cultivate these beautiful scenes and memories! There was not one minute where Sarah wasn't snapping photos or preparing us for the next shot. Early the next morning, she provided me with a bunch of photos for my sneak peek. I was blown away by her professionalism and thoughtfulness in giving me a generous amount of photos to show others right away! I was also blown away by how truly stunning the pictures turned out. Again, you need to book with Sarah! As she famously says, the bride doesn't move! ;) She will make you feel like the star you are on your special day.

Amazing through the entire experience

Sarah and her husband Graham were such a wonderful couple to work with for our very small elopement ceremony in Charleston. From the beginning, Sarah was enthusiastic and authentically excited for my husband and I to tie to the knot. She worked closely with us to create vows and a script that was personal and meaningful to the both of us. Her husband Graham did an incredible job the day of the ceremony. He was professional, well-spoken, and added a bit of humor that we loved. Sarah took pictures during the ceremony and they are INCREDIBLE! She was able to capture our moment so beautifully, and she was quick to send us sneak peaks and the full gallery. I truly cannot recommend Sarah enough!
