100% Recommend!!

We are SO happy we had Sarah as our photographer. From the very beginning when we first reached out, she was organized and on top of her game! After our initial consult we knew we had to book her ASAP. Sarah is such a bright and fun presence. She brought the BEST energy to both our sunrise engagement shoot and our full wedding day when a hype woman is exactly what we needed. She is positive, confident, fun, and just plain GREAT at what she does! As for her photography, I’m sure that can speak for itself - it is truly gorgeous!! She beautifully captures meaningful moments and the results are phenomenal. She got so many sweet candid and action shots that captured the emotions of the day so well. Finally, Sarah was always professional and great with communication. It helps that she is a genuinely kind person who so clearly wants your day to turn out perfectly! Seriously, you won’t go wrong with booking Sarah. 11/10 would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Best wedding photographer!

Our experience with Sarah was absolutely fantastic. From the beginning, communication was smooth and effortless, with prompt responses to emails and even video conferences to discuss details.

Our photography package included an engagement photoshoot in addition to wedding photography. The quality of the photos from both our engagement session and wedding day was outstanding. One of the highlights was receiving a few 'preview pictures' shortly after each shoot, allowing us to enjoy some beautiful moments right away.

The pricing was transparent, and the payment portal was easy to use, making the financial aspects stress-free.

Throughout the process, Sarah provided invaluable advice on shot lists and was incredibly easy to work with when it came to posing. If we had a specific idea or location in mind for a photo, she not only took the lead but also enhanced our vision beyond what we could have imagined. She also emailed us ideas and example photos for different locations for our engagement photoshoot, helping us make our vision a reality. On our wedding day, Sarah took many photos throughout our events, including getting ready in the bridal suite, first looks, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, and reception. She was excellent at directing our family members to ensure we got all our posed family photos. Sarah also took some beautiful shots of just us post-ceremony. Throughout the dinner and reception, we felt at ease and relaxed knowing Sarah was there capturing every moment.

Beyond the professional aspects, our interactions with our photographer made us feel like we were working with a close friend. She always helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite us being introverted and inexperienced with being professionally photographed. Her support and encouragement throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding were truly appreciated and added to the overall wonderful experience. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer for their special day.

Very professional and flexible

Sarah was highly professional and adapted very well to what was going on during our wedding. For the engagement photo session, she made us feel comfortable and gave instructions on how to pose, making it a fun experience without stress. We highly recommend Sarah for any event!

The answer to your problems!

Finding Sarah after struggling to find someone that matched my aesthetic and vibe was such a blessing. I had to plan a wedding within the year and Sarah was there for me even though it felt rushed sometimes! Coming from someone who doesn’t enjoy being in front of the camera, she made my husband and I feel right home with the camera. She’s detailed oriented in every way and and was a literal angel in the outfield. Thank you so much Sarah! Our pictures are everything i could’ve hope for!

The best!!!

Sarah is literally the best, I love her work so much. It’s just classic rustic beauty and her skills are top notch. I recommend splurging and getting a GREAT photographer, you won’t regret it. Her service was awesome, she was responsive, super flexible and made us feel really comfortable(my husband and I are a little awkward lol).

Such a magical and fun day!

We eloped due to Covid restrictions - we wanted to keep it small. We’ll cherish the pics she captured for years to come. Highly recommend!

Such a magical and fun day!

Sarah was lovely. We booked her last minute for a small venue wedding with our friends and family and could not have dreamed about the images we received! She made everything so simple even though we were down to the wire and rushing weeks prior!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
