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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

THE SEARCH IS OVER FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER - YOU HAVE FOUND HER!!!

I simply CANNOT share enough good things about Sarah Jane!

We worked with her for our elopement at Mt Rainier this past July and had the most magical experience- thanks to her!

Not only did she take the most breathtaking photos (and she even photoshopped our cat hidden into one of our photos at our request. SO cute!), she truly felt like a bonus guest/mom friend /built in bestie/ wedding expert extraordinaire!

From her in depth knowledge of the parks, posing tips, extra snacks (just in case), incredible props, and the lighthearted nature she brings, she helped us have the best stress free elopement day.

I loved getting to know her through the planning process, and adored how much time, passion, and care you could see she puts into each one of her projects. You can tell how much love dedication she has for her craft!

You need The Works by Sarah Jane Photography in your life!

From the moment we met Sarah Jane, we knew we were in good hands. Neither of us are used to being in front of a camera, and we were a little nervous about feeling awkward—but she instantly put us at ease with her authenticity, goofiness, and incredible energy. Instead of feeling posed or stiff, we were able to relax and just enjoy the moments, which is exactly what we wanted for both our engagement and wedding photos.

Sarah Jane is not only an amazing photographer, she’s a wonderful human. She was genuine and thoughtful in all her communication, and she was incredibly quick to respond—I never once had to follow up with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even helped us beyond photography—when we were struggling to find a coordinator, she shared thoughtful recommendations, one of whom we ended up hiring. That kind of care and support meant the world to us.

We’ve already received our sneak peek photos, and we are absolutely in love. They are beautiful, heartfelt, and capture the joy of our day perfectly. We’re so grateful we found Sarah Jane and can’t imagine our wedding without her. We can’t recommend her enough, and we know exactly who to call for future life milestone photography.

Cannot thank Sarah Jane enough! After she photographed our friends' wedding, we got to talking about our own elopement. We joked about her joining us in Norway and she enthusiastically accepted. She was the most hype-girl photographer we could have ever asked for! Even though I was sick during our travels, Sarah Jane made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride!

She was super excited to join us overseas, and into to the adventure of finding a beautiful place to stay. Our elopement was in the Nordic winter, but she gave us confidence that regardless of what the weather brought we were going to have a beautiful wedding. We lucked out and caught a full day of golden hour sunshine and took full advantage of the fjords, mossy grounds, and "paid" seagulls flying behind our ceremony!

Her perpetual optimism and love for love only enhanced what was our perfect day. Norway was epic, but Sarah Jane made it even more so!!

The moment we stumbled across Sarah Jane’s website, we were blown away. The photos were full of genuine emotion, joy, and adventure—and oh, the stunning outdoor backdrops! You could literally feel the excitement and connection in every shot.

We booked a video call with her right away, and before we even hung up, we knew—Sarah Jane was the one!

She helped us find the perfect location, made sure we were ready for anything weather-wise, and captured every special moment beautifully—including the most magical golden hour shots we’ve ever seen.

She’s more than just a photographer—she’s a calming presence, a planning pro, and someone you’ll be so glad to have by your side. Highly, highly recommend!

We can’t say enough good things about the phenomenal Sarah Jane!! She has amazing reviews for a reason. When we started wedding planning, we knew we wanted our biggest investment to be in the perfect photographer and I’m SO glad we went with Sarah Jane. She stuck with us when we had to postpone our wedding for a year, was super responsive, kind, and totally on top of the timeline. We got our extensive sneak peek gallery the very next day (are you kidding me??) and it literally took our breath away. I know we’ll be contacting her again for any future events. Your photos are forever - book her!!
