We could not be happier with Sarah and the way she told our wedding day story through her photography. When we received our photos just two weeks after the big day, we quickly texted her, “WE ARE STARSTRUCK!” Sarah’s background is originally in black-and-white photography. This means that she knows how to work with lighting and how to pick the perfect moment to take a shot so that it says a million things all at once. Her attention to detail is phenomenal; as result, the quality of our photos is unparalleled.

If you are planning a wedding in South Bend, especially one on Notre Dame’s campus, Sarah is the one you need. She knows the Basilica and campus like the back of her hand. In turn, she knew exactly what shots to get and where. We both have large families, and she came up with excellent plans to corral everyone as necessary while staying on schedule. In fact, she went out of her way to create an entire wedding day timeline for us and sent it in a smartphone wallpaper format that we could easily send to the wedding party. In addition, she made time to attend our rehearsal so that she could prepare for each aspect of our ceremony and anticipate times to take the best pictures. Sarah was in steady communication with us throughout our wedding planning process. No question was left unanswered, no detail too small. She was willing to wake up in the wee hours of the day to take “getting ready” photos before our morning wedding and even offered to transport bridesmaids to the ceremony in her SUV if it turned out we didn’t have enough drivers. A few months after the wedding, we received a gorgeous photo album from Sarah. She carefully customized the album for us based on pictures of our choosing and spent as long as we needed discussing options that fit our budget. She kept in touch with us as we waited for it to arrive in the mail so there were no concerns about it getting lost anywhere in transit.

It’s one thing to be a phenomenal photographer, but another thing altogether to be a genuinely kind, generous soul. Sarah Sage is both. As my husband says, “She really captures memories. These aren’t just photos.”

Sarah is the whole package. From the initial meeting to the final photo gallery, Sarah executes everything in a way that makes you feel so special and important. On the actual wedding day her experience speaks volumes! What I personally thought would take hours to get all the photos I wanted, took about 30 minutes with Sarah's amazing direction and fast pace. Truly can not even come up with any reason not to recommend Sarah. You will not be disappointed!

Sarah Sage was the perfect photographer! She captured every aspect of our wedding day and was so helpful during the planning process! We couldn’t imagine going with any other photographer for our wedding day! She gave us amazing photos to remember our special day!

Sarah Sage was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding. Her photography speaks for itself – our wedding photos were exactly what we had envisioned.

Sarah made the entire process stress free and enjoyable. She flew out to Washington, D.C. for our engagement shoot, and without ever having seen some of our shot locations, she still found the best spots to photograph. Before the big day, she created an extensive timeline to ensure we captured everything we wanted. On wedding day itself, she was instrumental in keeping us on time the entire day.

Throughout the entire process, we felt like friends rather than just another client. We sincerely could not have been happier working with her. Highly highly recommend!

We cannot say enough great things about Sarah! From the start at our initial meeting, she was nothing but helpful and such a joy to work with - from engagement photos, wedding planning, rehearsal dinner and our wedding day. Not only is her work gorgeous, but she is there for all of your needs through the wedding process and really goes above and beyond. All of our guests cannot stop gushing over our photos! We are so thankful that we had Sarah for our big day and recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer ☺️ Sarah is the best!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Sarah Sage as our wedding photographer! From our initial meeting and engagement shoot to the final album reveal, Sarah was wonderful to work with and we had a blast with her and her second shooter, Grace, throughout the whole process. Sarah was able to capture our day perfectly, from the big moments to the smallest of details.
With Sarah Sage Photography, you not only get an amazing photographer but someone who will help manage time and coordinate with your other vendors leading up to and throughout the day to ensure everything runs as smooth as possible. She was able to keep everyone on schedule, allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment.
The album reveal was another highlight. Sarah presented our photos in a way that told the story of our day beautifully. Her attention to layout and design made the reveal a memorable experience. Overall, we highly recommend Sarah Sage Photography to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and creative wedding photographer!

From our first meeting with Sarah, she showed us that she was there to help make our wedding day as special as possible. She was willing to walk with us through wedding planning. She was available to answer any questions that we had and provide her expert advice.

The wedding day itself went so smoothly. Both her and her trusty second shooter Grace (aka G money) put us, our wedding party and families at ease. We definitely had a rowdy crew, but they leaned into the joy and chaos that was our wedding and made it so fun.

Looking at our photos, we are so happy with how well she captured us. We spent so much time planning our ceremony, picking our colors and flowers, choosing our decorations and baking sweet treats. We are at a lost for words for how beautifully our pictures turned out and how well you can feel the emotion in each one. We will cherish them forever.

Thank you Sarah and Grace. We love you both so much!!!

Sarah Sage Photography was our first vendor selected when we booked our date at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame. The work she does, the talent she has, and the art she creates is second to none, in our opinion. Sarah is personal, personable, and so client-driven. By spending almost an entire afternoon and evening together to complete our engagement session in Chicago (where she swooned us by reserving the bar where we had our first date), to sharing stories and dreams together, to making every single second of our wedding day FUN and JOYFUL - Sarah is more than just "our wedding photographer" to us. Selecting a photographer can be so challenging, because there are MANY, but for us, we were selecting someone who would be with us for a lifetime - because that's what your wedding photos are for! Also, by choosing Sarah, we chose someone who is so well respected in the Michiana/South Bend/Notre Dame market, which was an unknown blessing in disguise. Also - a review for SSP is incomplete without a shoutout to her assistant Grace who stuck with me (the bride) and my bridesmaids all morning. Grace was so much fun, and the way she and Sarah work together is the way you want to see any duo cooperate and create incredible memories for your wedding day.

We would highly recommend Sarah Sage! She brought a ton of energy to both our (epic!) engagement session and to our wedding photos. She and Grace went above and beyond in coordinating with our other vendors and making sure we had thought through everything we would need to make our big day go smoothly. You can tell she's photographed a wedding or two.. she has everything down to a science at this point, and all the planning and prep resulted in the most beautiful photos!

Sarah Sage Photography was our engagement and wedding photographer. We can't recommend them enough! The bar was set when Sarah responded to our website inquiry with a personalized video. This special touch was carried over to our first consultation appointment in the office, as well, where we were greeted with 'Congratulations Pete and Rachel!' on the display monitor. If you are looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile to make every moment special, Sarah Sage Photography is the one!
Sarah has a keen eye, gives good direction, makes you feel comfortable, and captures stunning detail. Her photos are natural and paint a picture of how you were feeling in that moment. Having Grace as a second skilled photographer made sure that no moment, no matter how small, was left uncaptured. They are a phenomenal team who truly care about making your special day memorable.
Sarah Sage Photography was extremely organized and assisted in planning the entire schedule of the wedding day. They were very responsive to emails and text messages throughout the span of our time together. We were able to see some sneak peaks in record timing as well! These ladies not only were highly professional, dedicated, and trustworthy, they also knew how to have fun!
The photos from both sessions blew us away. Their work is impeccable...Sarah Sage Photography is the FULL package. If you are considering working with Sarah and Grace, don't hesitate to contact them.
