I can't even begin to say how much I adored Sarah and Dustin. I was so taken with Sarah and her images after my boudoir session with her that I planned my entire wedding around her schedule. She was my #1 priority. They are an incredible couple. Funny, friendly, and so SO talented. I cried more looking at the beautiful pictures that they gave me than I did at my actual wedding! They are absolutely phenomenal. Even my guests fell in love with them, and my best friend hired them for her wedding! Can't recommend them enough!

Sarah Maren (and her husband/second photographer Dustin) are in one word, AMAZING.

We first went to Sarah about 10 months before our wedding with a very different wedding in mind. We had decided to forgo the stress, money and excitement that is a 'normal' traditional wedding, and we were planning on having a small ceremony at SF City Hall with a reception at a family member's house. We booked Sarah for this purpose, did a fantastic engagement shoot, and then decided that the wedding we were planning wasn't going to work out the way we wanted. Mid year we completely switched gears and ended up planning a 125 person, fairly 'typical' wedding in Walnut Creek. With a new date. Sarah didnt even flinch- she was so helpful with every aspect of our wedding planning, and truly understood our 'vision'. She responds to every email with compassion and friendliness, and really tries to get to know you as a couple.

On the wedding day itself, my only regret is that we had been able to book Sarah for an extra hour, it felt like our picture time was too short! Sarah and Dustin capture moments that you dont even know happened, and they make them beautiful. I love every image we have seen so far. They are so artistic and truly make photography an art- there is nothing normal or average about Sarah's photos.

She is completely worth the price, and is very comparable to other respected artistic photographers that you will research. Sarah really listens to your style and what you are like as a person- if you want glitz and glamor, she will give it to you. If you want rustic and vintage, it's yours.

I really value Sarah more as a friend now than a wedding vendor and I am confident that when we have kids, Sarah will be the one to help us make our picture memories! Love Sarah and Dustin!

More than just a photographer!

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding with Sarah. She's an amazing woman and her team kept the flow of our day going at great speed! She had a great eye for detail, complemented us as a couple, and everyone in our family loved her. She fit right in and our photos were just incredible because we were feeling exactly like ourselves.
