Wedding Photography

Sarah and her assistant, Sam, were friendly, professional, and such a joy to work with on our wedding day. They guided us through our wedding photos with ease and helped us feel completely comfortable during the posed shots, while also capturing beautiful candid moments throughout the day. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we’re so happy with them that we decided to book Sarah again for our holiday photos. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer.

The Best Photographer!

Sarah is truly exceptional! She captured our graduation photos, as well as our engagement and wedding pictures, and each time, she exceeded our expectations. We already admired her work, but choosing Sarah to photograph our wedding was by far the best decision we made.

From the start, Sarah was incredibly attentive and engaged, meeting with us multiple times and always responding promptly to our emails. She took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life flawlessly.

On our wedding day, Sarah was a perfect blend of calming and decisive, gracious and confident. She handled family photos efficiently and unobtrusively, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. One of our favorite moments was sneaking away with her during cocktail hour to a nearby park, where she created beautiful, creative poses and made the experience genuinely enjoyable.

Sarah’s humor and creativity made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. She even provided us with sneak peek photos just a few days later, and they were absolutely stunning.

Hiring Sarah to capture any special moment in your life is a decision you will not regret!

Sarah is the BEST. Everyone is jealous of my photos!

I have been seeing Sarah's photo galleries for YEARS, since I manage a wedding venue and always ask our couples to send us their photos. I decided like 6 years ago that if I ever got married, I would use Sarah. I have always loved the way she edits greens! Her photos are neither overly saturated or muted, which I see all the time. Her green tones outdoors are rich, and all the tones are somehow both true to life AND romantic. That's the best way I can describe it! I had never worked with her one on one until my wedding day, and she did not disappoint. I was so impressed. My husband and my whole family went ON about how fantastic she was. She got our very small flower girls to smile and giggle for pictures! She was kind to everyone, but SO efficient. Photos were over in a flash, which I was thankful for since I hate having my picture taken. She somehow still got such genuine expressions and incredible candid moments! I also cannot express enough how much I appreciate that she asked me if I had any insecurities to be mindful of--she definitely paid attention to angles when she shot our wedding because I have so many photos that I feel fantastic in!
I would describe Sarah as efficient, friendly, dependable, so talented, and very genuine. She is hands down the best choice I made, because I get to save these memories forever--and they look just as pretty on the wall as they do in my memory.

Our Photographer for LIFE

Sarah will quickly become your bestie, photographer, and wedding therapist all wrapped up into one sunshine of a human. Sarah is quite easily the nicest person I’ve ever met, and her work speaks for itself. She finds a way to make every person she photographs feel comfortable and enjoy the very unusual task of standing in front of a camera for a prolonged period of time. Sarah is extremely responsive, creative, respectful and the quality of the memories she created for our family cannot be put into words. It is truly a gift that I stumbled across Sarah through my wedding planning process, and I can confidently say that my wedding wouldn’t be half as incredible as it was without her support, guidance, and fantastic photos. Even when it looked like it was going to storm our whole wedding day, Sarah found a way to keep me calm and even got me excited for the unique rain shots we could get. Her work is worth every penny and more, and we will continue to use her for every major life event to come! We love you Sarah!

We Love Sarah!

Sarah did our engagement and wedding day photos for our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough! Not only is she incredibly talented and creative with her photography, she is so personable and kind. I am not big on taking pictures, but Sarah did such a great job making us feel comfortable and staying organized ON TOP of staging and capturing beautiful pictures. I am so appreciative that Sarah was there to photograph so many moments that we will cherish forever.

Fabulous Photographer

Sarah is fabulous! She is great for family photos because she really knows how to get those natural smiles from your kiddos. My fiance doesn't like professional photos but even said himself that she makes them seem much more organic and natural. Her photos are always top quality and absolutely beautiful. She'll be my forever photographer for family photos.

I never thought I could love photos this much...

Sarah is such a blast to be around! She makes you feel comfortable instantly and knows how to make her couples light up on camera. From our engagement photos I knew we booked a winner, but when our sneak peeks came back from the wedding, I was speechless! I never thought I could love photos this much! She captured my husband and I perfectly, and they feel so authentic. I am in love, and these are just the sneak peeks! Sarah, thank you for being part of our day, and thank you for providing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you are in need of a photographer, Sarah is your girl!

The best photographer in the world

Hiring Sarah as our photographer was THE BEST decision we made about our entire wedding. Our pictures are insanely amazing! Sarah's personality was so bubbly, she brought out our most photographic selves and she made the day run smoother. Everything wedding related is so stressful but not when it came to the photography. We are awkward quirky people but we look like professional models in every single photo. Even our guests were raving our nice and amazing she was. Highly recommend!! I promise you won't be disappointed! She also has incredibly reasonable pricing and a product that just can't be beat. I literally love her so much!!!

Best.Vendor.EVER!

I can’t come up with enough nice things to say about Sarah. She was hands-down our favorite vendor to work with and every call with her felt like chatting with a friend while also nailing down the millions of details about a wedding day. When we first contacted Sarah she recommended that we try one of her Holiday mini-sessions since we had already had engagement photos done. We are so glad that we snatched up a time slot because we were able to get used to her directions and see her amazing photos prior to our wedding day! On the actual day Sarah was so great at directing everyone while keeping the mood light and fun. My bridesmaids absolutely LOVED her and her second photographer for the day and said that they cannot wait to see how amazing the pictures turned out. I will also always remember how calm she stayed and how calm she made me feel despite the weather taking a turn for the worse. Our original plan was to have our ceremony outside, but luck was not on our side that day. It started storming during our first looks with my husband and my dad but Sarah and Shannon were the best hype women and didn’t even let me think about it! They also ensured that our group photos outside (under an awning) were quick and efficient once the storm showed no signs of letting up. Given that the weather changed our entire timeline and plan for the rest of the day, Sarah was super flexible and was able to come up with an alternate plan to get us all of our photographs. Some of those “must-have” pictures included group photos of immediate and extended family on both the bride and groom’s side. While directing groups of large people may seem like a hard task to most, Sarah handled it with efficiency and ease! We receive our full wedding album this week and I am so excited to re-live our wedding day! Sarah sent us so many preview shots a few days after the wedding and if those are any indictor of what’s to come, I just know that the full album will be nothing short of stunning. If you need a photographer for any event, Sarah should be your first call!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
