Sarah photographed our October 2021 wedding at Migis Lodge in Portland, ME and we truly could not be happier with the photos she captured. Her ability to grab the perfect composition with amazing lighting is unmatched. When I look at the pictures from our wedding, I am transported immediately back to that perfect day. My husband and I are both somewhat awkward in front of the camera, and she did an incredible job putting us at ease and helping us get relaxed and candid photos. Thank you Sarah, we love our pictures so so much!! -

It is difficult to put into words how amazing Sarah is at her craft. Sarah is an artist and a storyteller. Sarah has this amazing ability to capture moments of beauty - the ones that you see, and the many that you don't when you are caught up in the chaos of your wedding day. I cried when I saw Sarah's portfolio before hiring her, but I cried even more when I saw the photos from my own wedding. Despite the fact that my wedding day was a somewhat challenging day for me for a number of reasons, Sarah found and captured every single moment of joy that I, in all of the chaos and in all of my feelings of the day, was unable to notice or remember. She showed me the absolute best moments of my day and, despite my feelings of disappointment after my wedding was over, her photos have allowed me to see the day from a completely different perspective. Her photos captured the tears, the laughs, the cheesy dance moves, the side conversations, the embraces - everything. Most importantly, she captured the love I feel for my partner and the love he feels for me. If a picture speaks a thousand words, I'm so beyond grateful that I can look at these photos and remember how happy I was when my husband and I shared quiet moments away from the crowd together, when he saw me in my dress for the first time, when I held on to him when we were dancing our first dance together. The photos express feelings that words alone cannot. Quite simply, the photos show the love that was all around us during our day, and will allow us to remember that love for the rest of our lives. There are not enough stars to give Sarah, both as a photographer and as a human being. If you are lucky enough to have her photograph your wedding, know that you are in the absolute best hands. -

Alli Sent on 09/03/2023Beautiful photos from an INCREDIBLE person!
When reaching out to photographers, a few I really liked that were unavailable recommended Sarah and I'm SO GLAD!! Her incredible photography obviously speaks for itself, but she's also a wonderful person.
She made us so comfortable during our engagement shoot - we felt like we got to know her by the end of the session! Then on our wedding day, her calm, quiet presence with such a wonderful addition - she made it so fun to go off and do our photos together. She's extremely organized and structured - other friends told me how much they wished they got the documentation, recommendations, and detail that Sarah provided.
Again, I cannot even put into words how much I love her photography, so if you feel the same way then you should 10000% work with her - she's the absolute best! -

SARAH V PHOTOGRAPHY gave us the wedding photos of our dreams, with an attention to detail and a personal touch! (unique, beautiful) We wanted an outside wedding in February! People said we were crazy, but we stuck to what we wanted. We loved Sarah's journalistic look on her website. We're so glad we went with Sarah. She is a dream photographer! Our Leap Day micro wedding would not have been the same without her. She came prepared for outdoor photos in winter and boy did she get some amazing shots! I honestly still ouu and aww at all the photos she captured for us. She's down to earth and easy to work with! If you're at all nervous about the photography, Sarah will put you at ease. It was freezing cold outside in the White Mountains of NH and Sarah worked her magic so we got beautiful shots on ice and in the snow! Such a pleasure. Pick Sarah, trust me! -

Anastasia Sent on 10/13/2020She made our day! I never been happier to say "yes, i do!"
My wedding was a year ago but I still remember everything vividly. Sarah captured our happiest moments perfectly. We had such a blast with her and we cannot thank her enough for being very patient and accommodating throughout the process.
I love all of the pics - it looks real and artistic!
My family was over the moon to see the final product, especially the B&W pictures.Trust me when I tell you this - Sarah has the ability to release your inner beauty. I don’t know how she did it, but boy, I gotta say, having her photographed our sacred day was the best investment I ever made in my life! I never seen myself laughing and smiling so carefree like that before. She let us be our own self throughout the session and goodness, she got an amazing sense of humor! (another reason why I hired her in the first place.) Even my husband, who was sort of skeptical at the beginning, was certainly impressed and kept on wowing every time he sees the pics (yes, he still does one year later.)
Thank you so much, Sarah!

Detail oriented photographer who will capture the best moments of your special day
My husband and I had a great experience working with Sarah and Oscar. They are very kind and we felt very comfortable having them photograph us on our wedding day. Sarah is very thoughtful and truly wanted to get to know us before the big day. Her work speaks for itself- the moments she shot of us are beautiful and I was so happy to share them with my family and friends. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer! -

It was tough at first to fully describe just how awesome Sarah is! I'll start by saying that when my husband and I got engaged, a wedding photographer was one of the first things I looked into. For me, photography was very important because the day goes by quickly, but the photos last forever. When I discovered Sarah's work, my heart skipped a beat. Her photos draw you in and are truly breathtaking! They convey emotion and are more than just photos, but true works of art! I knew right away that I wanted her to photograph my wedding! (They say you always "just know" when you find the perfect dress, but I had this moment with my wedding photographer). I was SO happy when Sarah said she was available on our date. I soon found out that not only is Sarah a talented artist, but also an impressive business owner! She is professional, organized, communicative and reliable. We didn't need a wedding planner because Sarah helped us come up with a wedding timeline that was stress free! She answered all my emails promptly and thoughtfully. I could tell that she really cared that our day suited us perfectly. She was proactive in keeping in touch with us as our day approached. Her organization and transparency really instilled a sense of confidence and brought us peace of mind. Sarah is just as wonderful in person. She is a lovely woman and makes you feel instantly at ease. My fiance and I are shy people and I get easily anxious when photographed. However, Sarah's easygoing and friendly demeanor helped us to open up. Our private photoshoot with just my husband and I was actually my favorite part of our day! After all of her photoshoots with couples, Sarah posts photos and a description of the day in her blog. For almost a year I looked forward to the day where it would be our wedding posted in her blog! It was so worth the wait! Seeing her post made me feel like our day was so special and meaningful. Lastly, but most importantly, our photos were everything I dreamed of and more! They really convey the love and joy we were feeling. I have never felt I looked so happy and beautiful. I am so glad to have these images to cherish and help us relive our day. Hiring Sarah was the one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding! -

I can't even begin to describe how much I loved working with Sarah. She made the day so much fun and so relaxing, we even ran ahead of schedule! Going through our photos I never dreamed our day could have been captured so perfectly. It was such a nice surprise to see some of the details and group shots that I missed but now have the memory of. She captured laughter, tears, smiles, hugs, family reunions, and every aspect that makes a wedding special.
Her blog post alone brought me to tears because we felt just as special to her and Oscar (her second shooter and husband!) as she meant to us. After spending only one day together she will forever be considered a friend. I can't imagine having worked with a better duo than Sarah and Oscar!
I think it's also important to note it's not often you also get someone who is so talented on the creative side but is also extremely skilled in running their business. Sarah responded to any inquires in a timely manner, always gave ample amounts of notice about payment reminders, a professional contract, checking in on what we needed and helping us to completely organize our day of timeline. I owe the day running so smoothly to her. Throughout my entire wedding process I continually said to my husband, she is worth every penny we pay her, and I stand by that now.
This is one impressive woman (but seriously, just go through her portfolio and blog posts and you'll see why) and I hope to anyone reading this review you're so lucky as to get to work with her! -

Cynthia Sent on 01/16/2019Dream pictures
I got married in December of 2018 and I didn't think I wanted pictures. I had seen wedding photos before and they were all too posed and too serious. I figured everyone's candid iphone shots would be fine. But my friends and family asked me to consider it because "one nice photo would be good to have." So with a goal of just getting "one nice photo," I did some internet research. I knew when I saw Sarah's page that this was the photographer for me. All the other wedding photos on Sarah's page were so warm and joyful. I wanted a unique and cozy shot like that of my husband and I! Luckily Sarah was available. From my initial contact with her, Sarah was so easy to speak to. She was really helpful as far as working around weird family dynamics and creating a timeline for my wedding day (something I hadn't even considered but proved to be a great idea). Everything was so spelled out, it was easy to see that things were going to be smooth. That all being said, I still had low expectations for my photos because I'm not the most photogenic woman in the world. I was just hoping for "one nice photo." I was totally floored by the photographs Sarah took at our wedding. They are beautiful, yes, but more than that, they really capture a love between my husband and I and the tone of our romantic winter wedding. Looking at these pictures, they are like fantasy pictures. I never thought, in my highest expectations, they would turn out this well. I, who have always mildly judged those with tons of wedding pictures hanging on all their walls, could now not narrow down the number of 8x10 photos that I wanted to hang on my own wall. I love love love these photographs. They bring me right back to the excitement and warmth of that night and the comfort I share with my partner. Sarah was wonderful start to finish and I can't say enough about these pictures. She is an incredible talent and a really kind woman. -

Sarah V Photography captured our wedding fantastically with her personal and epic style.
Sarah and her team were an incredible asset to our wedding day in more ways than one. Not only did she capture many special moments, she was almost invisible during the day and kept us at ease with her methods. No one ever thought she was in the way, and a lot of the shots were so candid we were pleasantly surprised with how much she captured. The way the session progressed was completely in line with what we requested and she made sure she got what we had been looking for. -

Sarah captured our non-traditional cemetery wedding PERFECTLY! She encouraged us by giving us fun and sometimes silly direction that helped loosen us up and it resulted in some really special photos that show our personality and love. She has great pricing, a clear and professional contract, and quick turn around...we received our photos very quickly after our ceremony. I highly recommend Sarah for any wedding, be it traditional or off the beaten path...she connects with her couples and really sees their connection and love and the proof is in the lovely photos she captures. -

Sarah climbed over rocks and into the ocean to take the most spectacular pictures we have ever seen - you can literally feel the emotions of our special day through her photos! Her fun and adventurous spirit and infectious laugh made our ceremony & photo shoot even more special. -

Extraordinarily beautiful photography
My husband & I completely fell in love with Sarah V (and her awesome husband/second shooter Oscar).
First and foremost Sarah’s photos are absolutely incredible!!!
So much so, that the photograph she so skillfully captured of us exiting the church in complete wedded bliss - won a gold award in the international wedding photojournalist association contest!
Each and every photo from her was extraordinarily beautiful. She captured every special moment of our day (some that we knew of and some that we didn’t even know about but were delighted to see afterwards - ie my family taking shots as I was getting ready).
Most importantly, Sarah came in like a member of our family. She put us at ease immediately and spoke our language of warmth, humor and love right away. I felt like my best friend was behind the camera. Feeling all the bridal pressures to have everything go smoothly while trying to look your best on a minute by minute timeline can be anxiety inducing but Sarah lifted me up, cheered me on and gave me all the good vibes I didn’t know I needed.
She and Oscar were an enormous part of the day and we couldn’t be happier to have partnered with them on this momentous day in our lives.
We are eternally grateful that Sarah flexed her skills on us and we hope to work with her again on our next celebration.
If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture magic in an image, look no further - holla at Sarah V. -

Allie Sent on 11/22/2017Sarah and her husband Oscar were truly wonderful to work with, start to finish, and we ended up with the most amazing and heartfelt images from what was honestly the best day of our lives. Sarah was SO easy to contact, meet (she met with us in her studio and never batted an eye at our 100 questions), book and stay in touch with. She sent us sweet little tips and letters in the mail along our long engagement. When the wedding day got closer, we were able to use her super easy online forms to talk all about our day and what sort of photos we wanted, and Sarah made a very effective and easy day-of timeline that I was able to follow, give to our wedding party, our venue and all our other vendors. At the last minute, we had lots of questions about how flash might affect a family member and Sarah went out of her way to do and present research to us on how she could be accommodating. We received our photos earlier than expected and were blown away at the quality. They truly make us feel like we are reliving our day when we look at them. Thank you again Sarah and Oscar--oh, and thanks for being fun, awesome people who kept us feeling at ease. -

Brianna Sent on 10/01/2016We LOVED working with Sarah. She was just amazing, from planning up through the wedding day and beyond, we're so glad that she was a part of it! We live out of state, so we didn't meet Sarah (and Oscar) until the wedding day, yet she still managed to make us feel like she really cared about how our planning was going, and like she was as excited for our wedding as we were. She was very quick to respond whenever we did have questions (including questions unrelated to photography - she gave me an awesome hair salon recommendation for my bridal-do!), and would reach out to touch base before we even realized we did have questions.
We were pleasantly surprised when our photos were ready even earlier than we'd expected, and to say they're stunning is an understatement. Her blog post with some early photos made us (and our friends and family) laugh and cry; when the full gallery was ready, more laughter, more happy tears. The formal shots are amazing, I don't know how we're going to choose which ones to display. Looking through the reception photos made us so happy -- seeing all of our loved ones having so much fun -- everything goes by so quickly that you miss so much, and we were able to experience even more through the photos. Whether they're superhuman or trained ninjas, I don't know, but some of the pictures make me wonder how they managed to be everywhere at once, or how they (apparently) were right next to me and I didn't even know it, but they captured so many amazing moments!! -

Jordan Sent on 10/14/2015We met Sarah last November on the date of our freezing cold engagement shoot (part of our wedding package) and we became friends instantly. Despite the low temps and high coastal winds she was totally game for hanging out around town and taking gorgeous pictures of us while we enjoyed silly stuff like play grounds and leaf fights! It didn't even take that long for us to realize that Sarah was the photographer for us though. From the moment we started e-mailing I instantly felt like she was the best fit. Not only was she super quick to respond and answer any questions we had, her fun and quirky personality fit so well with ours, and as I said before, it was easy to become fast friends! Aside from Sarah and her husband Oscar being wonderful people, they are also incredibly talented photographers. I am probably partial, but I have never seen photos that captured all of the beautiful, loving, and sometimes messy moments that go along with a wedding like the ones Sarah and Oscar gave us. The photos and the friendship are more than we could ever have asked for and we could not recommend Sarah more!
