Personable AND Professional

Rick is great! So easy to work with and reassuring. He's a big-time nerd so he got along with my husband and I and all of our wedding party. He is so professional, funny, and really great at directing my husband and me in our photos. We did an engagement shoot with Rick first and it was so fun! Neither of us had ever done a professional shoot before so Rick was excellent at telling us what to do and giving us some ideas. The photos were edited beautifully and delivered to us in a timely manner. Before our wedding, we worked out the photo timeline and got organized so we both felt prepared for the wedding day. The day of the wedding went very smoothly and Rick was awesome! My hair ran a little later than expected and Rick was so kind and calming when I was nervous about the timeline. He was so my bridal party had so much fun with him and when my husband and I did individual pictures with him he kept it light hatred and told us some hilarious stories! Rick is so personable and professional. We are still waiting for our pictures to be edited but we did get to see our sneak peak and I can not wait to see the rest of them! We would love to work with Sawyer Creek in the future!

Kyna was great!

We worked with Kyna for both our engagement and wedding photos and she was amazing. She was super helpful throughout the whole process. She knew exactly what to ask and what to photograph which was great since this was my first time hiring a photographer. Plus the photos turned out so good!

Great photographer with natural editing!

Kyna was very personable and was good at keeping track of time on a tight schedule, as we did not do a first-look before the ceremony. I also love that she keeps things looking as natural as possible, which is timeless to me.

Better than I could have ever hoped for!

I worked with Kyna, the business owner, the entire time. She was incredibly communicative, helpful, and professional. For me, and maybe for most brides, this was my first time hiring a photographer and thinking about photography. I really leaned on Kyna's expertise for how the flow of pictures should go, how much time to expect, etc. She was really generous with her time in helping me figure these details out and ensuring we had a plan that would work for what I wanted.

Day of she was really accommodating to changes in plans, random pictures I wanted here and there throughout the event, and was super efficient and effective with the time we had together.

We've shown our complete album to a variety of people already and some of the most consistent feedback we get is surprise at the amount of pictures and also praise for the quality.

All in all, feel incredibly lucky to have found Sawyer Creek Photography and wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Phenomenal Job!!

Rick photographed our wedding in August of 2023. He did a wonderful job with keeping pictures flowing, and so fast too! The amount of pictures I got was insane!! With only the 8 hour package, he managed to get pictures of my dress, the rings, and my boots as well as capturing heartfelt moments I didn't even realize were happening.
