Above and Beyond

Sarai is phenomenal! She is so easy to work with and I put all my trust in her to capture some awesome photos on my wedding day. She is so genuinely nice, understanding and easy to talk to. Thankfully in my case she was willing to make up a day of schedule and even brought things I was completely unaware of to my attention. I didn’t even think to ask people to keep there phones away during the ceremony. Little did I realize that something as simple as that could jeopardize capturing photos. I was so happy she mentioned it. Nobody wants all of there pictures having grandma standing in the middle of the aisle with her iPad trying to be a photographer.

The wedding day itself went so smoothly thanks to Sarai. She was at the venue before I even showed up to scope out the best photo spots. She really captured who we were and didn’t force tons of unnatural poses. We had so many awesome candid photos and so many silly ones which is exactly who we are as a couple and as a group. Sarai was there all day and almost all night just to make sure she caught every moment of the day.

Sarai’s turn time for getting you your photos is so quick. She realizes how excited you are see your photos and and we even had a sneak peak the very next day! In just a few weeks we had all our photos and holy moly were there a lot and they were all awesome!

No words do her or her photos and memories justice!

Bring one of Sarai’s first weddings over 5 years agoQ was a privilege! Sarai is not “just” a photographer, but an artist. She is so easy to work with, even when you might feel awkward, not know how to stand or what exactly you should do she is there to guide you and not make you feel uncomfortable or posed. She made our dreams of outdoor pictures a reality(even on a cold November day) and her skill made us forget the cold and our pictures are warm and loving. Many people tell us how fun our wedding was and I am so happy that we had Sarai there to capture our story. I don’t have enough words to say how pleased we were and are with not only our pictures but our experience with Sarai!

If you want the best, call Sarai.

As a former venue manager, I had the pleasure of working directly with Sarai on multiple events.
For the venue, we selected Sarai as the official photographer for our charity events, and it was the best choice we could have made.
Sarai has an endless supply of creativity and genuinely cares about capturing the essence of your unique story. The only person who will be more excited about your event than Sarai is you.
When couples told me that they booked Sarai for their wedding, I knew they were going to have stunning photographs that they would be proud to show off. Clients and staff alike loved working with Sarai.
The word is out about Sarai and she does book up quickly, so get your date on the books as soon as you can. I had several heartbroken clients who missed out because they waited too long.

Amazing photographer

Sarai was more than just a photographer at our wedding. She not only kept helping me with my hair or fixing my make up but she nearly felt like family. At one point I remember being on the ground to get the shots she wanted at my wedding. Our pictures turned out amazing! I had so many people ask me who she was so they could use her for the future. I can’t give her enough praise for how well she did.

Absolutely blown away by SMP

One of the biggest challenges I faced while planning my wedding was to find a photographer. Not only was I impressed with her level of genuine enthusiasm, but by how much heart she put into my big day. She was prompt, paid attention to details that I was too busy to care about, and captured everything with amazing finesse. I treasure my wedding photos so dearly and am so thankful that I had her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
