Sarah Jane is truly the best

If you're reading this, chances are you're in the thick of wedding planning, trying to figure out who you can actually trust to photograph one of the most chaotic, beautiful, and unforgettable days of your life. Let us save you the trouble: Yes. You can stop looking. Sarah Jane is that good.

One of the things we appreciated most about working with Sarah Jane is how clearly she cares. Not just about taking beautiful photos (though she absolutely does), but about getting to know the people in front of the camera. When we first connected, she asked thoughtful questions about the big day—not just about our timeline or photo preferences, but about our relationship, values, and what we wanted to feel when we looked back on the day. And that care, thoughtfulness, humor, and intention showed up in every part of the process: in the prep, on the day, and even in the follow-up. Her presence, humor, and intention made everything smoother, more meaningful, and honestly just more fun. You don't just get a photographer with Sarah Jane—you get someone who's fully in it with you.

On the day of, she was exactly the kind of energy we needed (especially as two chronically late people): she was chill but confident, unobtrusive but somehow everywhere at once. She blended in like a guest, but also had this quiet command that helped keep things moving and made us feel like we were in the best hands (because we were).

Also worth noting: our wedding was not a simple, tightly choreographed event. It was whimsical, disco dinosaur-themed, deeply DIY, and a little unhinged in all the best ways. Sarah didn't just handle it—she got it. She leaned into the weirdness with joy and ease, and made everything feel natural, even when we were sweaty, overwhelmed, or crying through our vows. She was the kind of person you want around you on a big, emotional day: calm, kind, thoughtful, and endlessly prepared.

And the photos? They're stunning. Absolutely stunning. We got our gallery back way faster than expected (bless her) and were full-on weeping scrolling through it. Every time we look through them (which is often), we're right back in it—the laughter, the tears, the chaos, the tiny moments that flew by too fast to notice. Sarah Jane caught all of it. And don’t even get me started on the golden hour portraits. Straight-up editorial. I almost didn’t recognize us—in the best way.

Sarah Jane didn't just take pictures of the event—she documented the feeling of the day. Every frame has so much love, movement, and honesty. They're not just pictures—they're a love letter to that day and everything it meant.

So, if you're considering working with her: do it. Truly. You will not regret it. You'll get gorgeous photos, yes—but more than that, you'll get to work with someone who brings care, creativity, and fun to every step of the process. We can't imagine our wedding day without her.

The best decision we made for our wedding by FAR!

I kind of don't know how to write this review without crying? We love Sarah Jane so much!!

From the start, Sarah Jane has been an absolute pillar - knowledgeable, fun, organized. And of course - her talent! Her stunning portfolio is what drew me in, and her deep industry knowledge truly sets her apart from a standard wedding photographer.

We did our engagement photos and our wedding photos with Sarah Jane, and even though we thought we'd be awkward in front of a camera, the photos look like romantic candids from a movie! She is a real leader here and I felt completely at ease and taken care of whenever she was directing us for the engagement shoot.

She is extremely professional and always keeps shoots on track, and she is incredible at telling you what to do with your body and making it look natural, and most of all FUN! She had my fiance (now husband!) and I cracking up, and our joy comes through in the photos.

She is a wedding veteran and knows every tip and trick in the book - not just photography-related, but she was happy to give advice on so many parts of the event when I needed recommendations or was struggling. Her recs were worth their weight in gold!

Our wedding was medieval-fantasy themed, and she MADE HER OWN COSTUME to be in theme!! She was our biggest cheerleader and was absolutely game for it all. Our event had a live falcon flying the rings down the aisle, and she came in a day early to scope out the practice flights to get the best shots. She also captured so many special small moments that I would have forgotten, like my new husband and I grabbing a nip of scotch after signing the marriage license!

Without question, Sarah Jane was the backbone of this event and I can't even thank her enough. If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to hire her, do not miss this chance!!

I'm walking away from the most magical day of my life with not only the most gorgeous photos, but also a dear friend.

The BEST Wedding / Elopement Photographer

Sarah Jane is AMAZING. My now husband and I hired her to capture our small wedding / elopement style ceremony and would chose her over and over again if we could. In the months leading up to the day, Sarah Jane was very good about periodically checking in on us and helping us plan our ceremony day timeline. The day of our ceremony was a rainy one, and Sarah Jane came prepared with photo-ready clear umbrellas for both us and our 12 guests. She made the day a breeze as she helped to wrangle family members into places, all while capturing the moments of the day. I am in love with the photos she took and have had several comments from family and friends that they look a cover from a movie. I highly recommend hiring Sarah Jane to capture your love story photography desires!

Thank you, Sarah Jane

We are so lucky to have had Sarah Jane documenting our elopement. She is so warm, kind, and fun to be with. We were nervous before we met her, but she made it easy to be ourselves, and we trusted her right off the bat. We are two camera-shy people, but her direction made the time together feel joyful, playful, spontaneous, and above all, special. She also did an amazing job of helping us keep to our schedule to get from one location to the next and coordinating logistics like where to find parking in busy places. We didn’t have to wait long for our photos, and most of all, our photos are magical and we love them so so so much! Thank you, Sarah Jane!!

Amazing! You will not regret!

Sarah Jane did our photography for both our ceremony and reception party, which were on two separate days. Planning with her was AMAZING. Not only was she responsive, but she spent time talking to us, telling us about the process and what to expect, what we were envisioning, and had everything laid out in a planning document. She was so buttoned up and reassuring of everything. Not to mention, she came totally prepared, not just for herself, but for last minute things for the wedding party in case we needed it.

Let’s not forget, her pictures are AMAZING!!! The quality and her ability to capture all the emotions is 10/10. I feel so grateful to have found her and chosen her as our photographer. She also works well with vendors, is friendly with not just us, but everyone at the party, and is overall a great person and best hype woman ever. If you haven’t booked her yet, I would suggest doing it, because she fills up her schedule fast!

She’s a rockstar

Working with Sarah was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
From the very beginning, she gave us so much attention, care, and genuine dedication. On the day of the wedding, she went far beyond just taking photos she helped guide the flow, kept everything feeling calm and natural, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. We never felt rushed or overly posed; everything felt effortless and truly us.
And the results? Absolutely incredible.
Every photo tells a story. She captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt the emotions, the energy, and the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire day.
And as if that wasn’t enough, she surprised us with the sweetest package. It was such a thoughtful, personal touch that just shows how much she truly cares about her couples.
We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend her enough 🤍✨

She’s the best!

This review is long overdue for Sarah Jane! You should absolutely book her for your wedding, elopement…honestly, for everything. She was incredible to work with and so accommodating, especially for someone like me who went back and forth and couldn’t quite figure out what I wanted. She was patient, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. She even helped us find someone to watch our dog during our elopement. Sarah Jane made the entire experience feel easy, fun, and special, and we couldn’t recommend her more. And of course the photos are beautiful and breathtaking! We would hike up steep mountains with her any day!

Truly the BEST

If you are wondering if you should book with Sarah-Jane, the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES!

Sarah-Jane was absolutely everything we had hoped for in a photographer and more! From our first call with her, we could tell she would be an excellent choice because of her friendliness, willingness to crack a joke, and professional transparency.

During our engagement shoot, Sarah-Jane made us feel extremely comfortable and we had the best time together! Not only did she recommend the most stunning place, she worked quickly, and had great tips for posing naturally. For two people who have never really gotten their photos taken professionally, we were nervous, but instantly relaxed because of her awesome energy. Dinner afterwards was an added bonus! Delicious food and a fun moment that made us really feel like we all got to know each other and get comfortable.

Sarah-Jane’s planning guide was CLUTCH and helped us outline our day so well. On the day of the wedding, things felt easy, natural, and soooo fun! Despite some crazy wind, Sarah-Jane pulled off the most incredible photos and was super flexible with where we took them. Throughout the whole day, she checked in on us constantly, took excellent care of us, and even came prepared with pepto and fans for when the bride got a bit too hot. All night long we received compliments on her work, her attitude, and overall energy!

These photos are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we could not be more thrilled!!! Sarah-Jane is a true professional, friend, and beautiful human. We are so grateful for everything that she did to make our special day even more memorable.

Above and beyond!

Sarah Jane was more than we could have asked for! Seriously, above and beyond her job description. Ahead of our wedding, she took the time to get to know us and even helped us determine a comfortable timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding, she was so prepared and stepped in wherever needed. She had toys for our dogs, clear umbrellas for us when it started to rain before our ceremony, and even helped us add much-needed florals to our cake to make it perfect for our cake cutting photos.

And the photos themselves! Neither my husband or I are naturals in front of them camera, but Sarah Jane made us feel so comfortable. The photos are gorgeous, and she captured such fun candids of our guests. AND we got our full album back less than a month after our wedding.

We cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend Sarah Jane! The absolute best!

BOOK Sarah Jane!!!

Sarah Jane is INCREDIBLE!! The photos turned out so beautifully, even beyond what we hoped. Sarah Jane is so much fun to work with. She is definitely someone you want to have around on your wedding day! She is extremely organized, responsive, calm, helpful, funny, and relaxed. We ended up extending her house so she could capture sunset photos, nighttime photos with lanterns, dancing photos, and our sparkler exit. We could not have been happier with the results- the photos are stunning!! Thank you so much Sarah Jane!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
