Oh man, I don’t even know where to start!! This beautiful woman made our day AMAZING. She is so good at what she does. The planning, the communication, the photographing, the logistics & making sure you are happy with every single thing. I couldn’t recommend her more!! I felt like I had known her for years, she was so warm and welcoming. Really went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted during our day! Our correspondence leading up to the big day was so detail oriented. She created the most beautiful script for our ceremony that was so personalized it had felt like a family member wrote it for us. Also the process of getting our marriage license & making our marriage legal was completely taken care of by Sarah & we did not have to do a thing!! 10/10 recommend her to everyone if you plan on going to Charleston for a photoshoot or elopement!

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.

We loved every aspect of working with Sarah; from our first phone call until the day she performed our ceremony. She contacted 4 of our closest friends/family members to get a feel for who we were. After speaking with them, she was able to understand our love story. She not only understood it, but she got it. Really got it. Our wedding ceremony wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was if Sarah hadn’t truly cared enough to get to know who we were; not only as a couple, but as individuals as well. Everyone commented on how she was able to so beautifully define the true meaning of love. Sarah’s so amazing that she even offers a “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” service where she will take your marriage license to the courthouse and file it for you! This took so much stress off of my plate. Sarah is a gem and I’m thankful that she’s now a part of our story.

Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with on our special day, we are super camera shy and she made us both feel so comfortable and was able to capture our happiness the entire ceremony, she was amazing to work with and would recommend her over and over 10000000x!!!

Where to begin…simply…USE SARAH MACDONALD and Live Wilder Studio!!!

Lorraine and I used Sarah for our elopement ceremony in early September including photography, flowers and ceremony. We wanted to capture our beach setting and also the charm and history of downtown Charleston. We both have been married before so this time around gave us the chance to involve our two adult children, and even our puppy, to make it a truly family affair.

Sarah was so fun to work with and generous with her time and patience, from initial calls to LOTS of questions and messages from us right up until The Date! She really cared about our personal journey and helping us to make this event special. She managed to capture “our story” in a warm, funny and reverent ceremony script that blew us away. We have shared it many times with friends and family and it always brought smiles and a few happy tears. Lorraine’s 90 year-old mother said it best when calling the day after our reception party back home: “ I woke with a tear-stained pillow from happiness at the beautiful words and pictures from the ceremony!”

Even though everything was done remotely (we traveled for the ceremony) we got to know each other, and when we finally met Sarah in person, it was like seeing an old friend. Her energy and creative ideas made the ceremony and resulting photos everything we hoped for, she made us look great and captured the lighting and locations perfectly!

We highly recommend Sarah and Live Wilder Studio for your wedding planning, ceremony and photography. Flexibility, creativity and her wonderful personality combined to provide just what we wanted…you won’t be disappointed!!

Sarah did a fantastic job officiating our wedding! She went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was special. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized wedding ceremony💕.

Sarah was amazing! She made everything go so smoothly and stress free which is exactly what I wanted for our wedding day. She has the best personality and the pictures are better than I could have ever imagined. She really makes you feel so important and beautiful. I'll forever be thankful to her. Don't think about it, just choose her (you will not regret it!)

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!

Sarah was so patient with us and very thorough in capturing our special day. She made us feel like the only couple in the world. The pictures were back quickly and were beautiful.

When our friend/officiant was unable to marry my daughter and her fiance, they were referred to Sarah. We're so glad! She is a warm and genuine person who took the time to get to know them both in person and by questionnaires that ensured the ceremony would be personal and real. By the time she guided them through the rehearsal and their time at the altar, we felt like friends and had confidence and peace that she was absolutely the best soul to marry them. Her own thoughtful words and insight captured who they are and what they hoped to convey, while she also incorporated them sharing our own vows to each other. They felt so relaxed that they were able to laugh when appropriate and cry when they felt it and be in the moment.
