    Sarah captured my day BEAUTIFULLY!

    I have always seen Sarah’s work around town and on social media as well ans had friends get there photos taken by Sarah and I fell in love with her style . So when the hubby and I decided to get married she was the first person I called, we had a meeting and i absolutely just fell in love with her personality as well. She is so genuine and sweet I can confidently say she was a HUGE part of making my big day a dream! I seriously can’t thank her enough! The day of the wedding she was the calm to my storm. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any one not only wanting breath taking photos but also a photographer who is so sweet and truly cares and loves what she does!! 🤍

    Amazing, you will not regret!!!

    I’d followed Sarah on social media for several years, always in awe of her photos, and I had always hoped she could do my wedding photos when the day came. She was the first vendor I booked when I started planning my wedding, and she was so helpful with the entire process. She’s so knowledgeable with weddings in general and was a great resource for everything and always quick to respond to my questions. But of course she blew us away with the photos! They were everything we’d hoped for and we’re so excited to have such beautiful photos to look back on. She had such amazing ideas for us (even suggested a sneak peak of my husband’s daughter in her dress, which was a highlight of the day), and captured the BEST parts of the day. We’re so so happy with Sarah and everything she did!

    Thank you SO much Lindsay! It is such an honor that you asked me to be a part of this amazing time in your lives and I couldn't have enjoyed it more! You guys have such a special love and capturing it brought tears to my eyes many times!

    The Best Photographer for Montana Moments

    Notarius Photography is the best photographer we could’ve asked for in the Bozeman area for our wedding. I was lucky enough to have her capture two important events in my life, and she was the first photographer I asked and wanted to photograph our wedding after our first time working together was such a joy.
    She was incredibly fast with responses, flexible when we had to move our date weeks after booking her, and catered our photos to our style and personality. Not only is she kind, compassionate, and so much fun to work with, but she also genuinely cares about her clients. She even looked out for us on our wedding day to keep our timeline on track and made sure we were hydrated and eating enough, that’s how much she cares.
    I can’t recommend Notarius Photography enough, she ensures the most beautiful photos that capture the happiest moments. I’ll be sure to come back to her for any photos, from major life events to one-off photo shoots.

    Notarius Photography's reply:

    Oh sweet lady! Your words bless my heart! I enjoy every moment I have gotten to spend capturing your life and being at your wedding made me so happy!

    Let's make this easy... You need sarah for your wedding!

    Sarah has done my engagement photos, wedding photos, and *always* will be my first choice when I need professional photography done in the future. When we first met Sarah for our engagement photos, it was like we were meeting with an old friend. She has such chemistry with everyone around her... Comfortable people = REAL photos! I never felt like I had to "pose" for her, she was able to capture so many precious moments and make us look amazing doing it without stringent direction or poses. She is so creative and uses every space, cloud pattern, light exposure, and little things you do naturally to her advantage.

    Sarah was such an advocate for us on our special (but busy) day. She stuck to the schedule like glue, reminded us and pulled us away when we needed to, told people what to do and where to be so gracefully. Everyone at our wedding adored her!

    Anyone that asked who my photographer was prior to our wedding said "What?! How did you manage to book with her?!" when I told them I got Sarah Notarius :) Let me just end by saying that she is (without a doubt) Montana's finest, and you NEED her for your wedding!

    Notarius Photography's reply:

    Thank you for your amazing words!! I am humbled and honored by your love and kindness! Being a part of your wedding was so incredibly special and I hope we get to hang out again soon!!

    Wedding photographer

    Sarah was not only excited to be working but the energy she brought made me feel like she was truly excited to be shooting our wedding! She made me feel beautiful in my most vulnerable moments and has tons of different techniques and ideas to capture magical moments! I definitely recommend Notarius Photography for weddings, and would recommend her for any other photo shoots! She will let you relive your best moments for years to come in the most magical way!

    Notarius Photography's reply:

    You are truly beautiful from the inside out and it was such an awesome day celebrating with you and Matt!! Thank you for such kind words, I am blessed and honored!

    Our calm amidst the chaos.

    I absolutely loved working with Sarah. She made the day go smoothly, calmed my nerves, and made everyone feel so beautiful. She was relaxed and easy going and so reassuring throughout the entire process.

    Notarius Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Caelah! You were such an amazing bride to work with and I am so happy I was able to be there with you for such an awesome day!!

    Amazing all around!

    Sarah was a complete and utter joy to work with. From our first meeting we knew she would be great, and she certainly did not disappoint. She was a calm and reassuring presence on the day of, and she did an excellent job of keeping our respective families in line and making sure they followed directions (not an easy feat!). She also came to my aid when I had a small dress snafu and was a whiz with safety pins! She was kind and easy to talk to and felt so much more like a friend than a photographer, which was exactly what we wanted! We could not be happier with Sarah!

    Notarius Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for such kind words! Being a part of your wedding was truly a joy and I feel so thankful that we were able to meet and share in it together! Your pictures literally give me all the feels and I hope to see you two again in the future!

    Beyond my expectations!!

    Sarah was amazing, she made us feel so comfortable and so special! She was alert and on top of things! I ripped my dress, she saw I was in distress and she sewed it for me!! I don’t know any one else who would do that for me! I wish our day was not over because we enjoyed Sarah so much! I’m so excited to see how amazing our pictures are going to be! Even with a snowy/rainy weather forecast, Sarah made it perfect for us!

    Notarius Photography's reply:

    Your words bless my heart so much!! I came away from your wedding wishing we could do it all over again so we could hang out more! I really hope our paths cross again in the future and I am so honored that you chose me to capture your perfect day!!

    Exceptional product, great person, worth the price

    Really good eye, very creative. Appropriately priced. Great person to work with. She was receptive to our ideas and also had a million great ideas of her own.

    Couldn’t of Asked For More ❤️

    Sarah went above and beyond any expectations we had. She was so calming and flexible! At one point her and our DJ changed up the timing and flow of the reception just a bit to make sure it went smoothly. She also held a kiddo and took photos because a family member couldn’t find someone to hold their kid quick!
    The quality of photos is superb! I would recommend Notarious Photography to anyone who is seeking a stellar photographer! We will definitely be using her again in the future when we have a family come along ❤️

    photographer for life!

    When you hire Sarah Notarius, you know you’ll get unique and vivid memories for the rest of your life. What you may not know is how much she will play a role in the timeline of your special day. Her experience in the wedding industry is truly impressive, and she kept us on track the entire day and night. She even makes it a point to know all the names of your immediate family and wedding party, and is such a great leader when instructing on how to pose. You certainly don’t have to be a model to work with her, she has the ability to help couples feel comfortable posing in whichever way they feel is natural for them. Perhaps the most unique part of working with Sarah is her excitement for all kinds of Montana weather. No matter what happens on your day, you will get the most memorable and amazing pictures! Every time I look at our pictures, especially our sunset pictures, I feel the exact warmth I felt in that moment. It takes a true artist to be able to make your pictures come to life, and she is OH SO GOOD at it. Not only am I forever grateful for having her photograph our engagement and wedding, but I’m forever grateful for the experience and the friendship created. I can’t wait for her to capture pictures of our future children someday! When you hire Sarah Notarius, you hire a photographer for life.

    Beautiful Pictures!

    Sarah was so amazing throughout our whole engagement and wedding day! The engagement shoot was so fun to do and she was able to get us our pictures in a timely manner for us to send out invites. Sarah was also so great on our wedding day. She was so helpful with keeping everything on track and blended in with the crowd so you didn't feel like you were constantly having your picture taken. All the photos turned out absolutely beautiful! She is truly able to capture the moment for people to keep for a lifetime.

    I had my eye set on Sarah to be my wedding photographer before I was even engaged! I love the vibrancy and raw emotion that she captures and brings to life in her photography. Once I got the ring, I emailed her got the process started. She was very accommodating and eager to meet us. Our engagement pictures were a blast, it was a perfect way to get to know her and for her to know us as a couple. She had everything planned, we simply showed up and looked good- actually she even helped us with that too!
    Sarah is very responsive and will answer all your questions or concerns immediately. On our wedding day she was that sweet breath of fresh air. She kept the wedding party and family pictures moving smoothly and also captured all the little details that took so much planning prior to the big day. Her gentle demeanor is so comforting and she is sure to make you feel and look like the queen you are.
    After the big day, she works diligently to get the raw pictures back to you so that you can choose the photos that you like the best to be edited. I liked this aspect because, I wanted to be able to have control over what I found keepsake instead of what the photographer thought was important. It was so much fun to look through our pictures for the first time, it felt like we were re-living the wedding all over again. From there she will edit each photo independently -instead of just applying a filter, like other photographers might do- this insures that the quality and detail of each picture is taken into account. Once they are edited they are yours to print, post, and appreciate. I believe that pictures should be printed and hung in a home. She has wonderful print products that are sure to meet all your expectations. Sarah is truly one of the most sweet, humble, and compassionate people I have met. She has a spirit of love and a passion to capture it. I loved every moment that we spent with her and you can tell that she deeply cares about her work and her clients.

    Sara was a jack of all trades on my wedding day. Not only did she take the most stunning photos but she helped my bridesmaids with my bustle when we couldn't find it, even brought a white umbrella when there was no call for rain.. and it down poured! She made us so at ease, and let us enjoy each other and our day. One of my favorite parts of the day was our sunset pictures, spending time together, truly enjoying the moment of being newlyweds and she captured it perfectly. Her use of light is amazing, and what first attracted me to her photos. It was so hard to choose our album as all the photos were so wonderful. I'm so very happy with Sara and her amazing skill set, our wedding was captured beautifully!

    Sara is awesome to work with. She doesn't make your husband annoyed like many photographers she's easy going but gets things done. If you have an idea she's open to hearing them.

    Sarah is an extraordinary photographer who takes the time to get to know her customers and capture the priceless moments in their lives. She takes the awkward photo poses and cheesy smiles out of the whole experience with her grace, kindness and genuine love of photos and people. I could not have chosen a better photographer for my engagement and wedding photos! Throughout the entire planning process she offered encouragement, words of advice and eased many difficult decision making situations! From deciding what to wear for photos, to choosing a wedding venue, to working with two very large families on our special day, Sarah was there full of grace, wisdom and smiles. She truly is a talented photographer who has a big heart and amazing work ethic! She will exceed all of your expectations- she is simply FABULOUS!!!

    When sitting down to write this review, I found myself so overwhelmed with the task, mostly due to the fact that we had such an amazing experience having Sarah as our wedding photographer. I can not say enough wonderful words about Sarah Notarius, but here goes... Sarah from the start, helped us stay relaxed, on a schedule, and helped us just genuinely enjoy our day. She let us travel to fun locations, (even enduring injuries...stepping on a nail when crossing over old wood boards), coordinated the schedule with our DJ at the reception so that we would not have to worry about what came next (first dance, bouquet tosses, etc., etc.) She kept the atmosphere fun but took her job very seriously with utter passion and even tears of joy when discovering a beautiful shot or impeccable lighting (thank you cloud coverage in July). Climbing a big hill for sunset shots towards the end of the night ended up being one of the most private and cherished time Chad and I had the whole day and made for some of the most breath taking pictures. In the end, Sarah provided us with beautiful, timeless photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Check our Sarah as your photographer! You will not be disappointed!

    Notarius Photography made our engagement and wedding photos an absolute dream come true. Sarah has an incredible gift in capturing emotion and beauty that so purely reflects in her pictures. She knows Montana so well that she could predict the lighting, skies, and perfect timing to capture unbelievable moments and scenery. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how beautiful our pictures turned out! Sarah was a pleasure to work with and she went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day was the most special day of our lives. Not only did she capture it magnificently, but she also was a knowledgeable and trustworthy guide when it came to navigating weather, timing, and all the stress that comes with planning a wedding. We will be forever grateful!

    We hired Sarah for our wedding on June 11, 2016. Right from the beginning she was very responsive to messages and open to all suggestions. We knew we had made the right choice! She really has an eye for the best locations! She’s not afraid to get in any position for the best pictures. She was seen anywhere from sitting in weeds to laying on the dance floor to get the perfect shot at our wedding! Sarah fit right into the day just as if she was part of the family. She truly cares about her job and the people she is photographing. The whole night she was open to suggestions, and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. After the wedding we received many comments about our wonderful photographer, from her personality to the beautiful, bright pictures. Even though we have only known Sarah for a short time and seen her in person twice, we feel she we have known her for a long time, and she is possibly THE photographer for all important events in our life! Notarius Photography is definitely recommended by us!

    Oh wow, where to even begin with Sarah. Her talent alone is incredible and a stand out all on its own. The first time I saw one of her pictures I was absolutely blown away and knew I HAD to meet her and once I did it was a no brainer for me, for multiple reasons. Her kindness and openness made me feel immediately comfortable and like I'd known her for years, but her passion, dedication and friendship is what makes her so unique.
    I've done engagement, wedding , boudoir, and anniversary pictures with her and to say I'll use her for the rest of my life is an honest statement! She makes you feel relaxed and comfortable in settings that can be nerve wracking or the biggest of your life. Having her capture these precious moments in our life and so many others makes it an unforgettable experience every time and the images we get to keep forever are insanely beautiful (the only problem is trying to pick favorites ) ??We love her so so much and I could rave about her forever!!!

    Sarah truly has such an amazing gift. Not only is she a talented photographer but she is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. She truly cares about getting to know each of her couples, and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session and on our wedding day! We were so pleased with her level of professionalism and eye for detail. She beautifully captured our big day, and I make sure to recommend her to everyone I know!

    Sarah was an incredible photographer. She was extremely attentive to our photography wants, her prices were worth the quality, and I cannot praise her enough. She pays attention to details and makes you feel very comfortable. We will be using her again in the future for our family photos!

    Notarius photography is the way to go. Sarah agreed to shoot our off season January winter wedding. Our wedding took place in Bozeman Mt, and it was outside. She happened to catch pneumonia before our big day, but still made our dreams come true. Sarah stood outside for a good four hours shooting in twenty degree weather. She made my husband and I both very relaxed and was super easy to work with.
