Victoria S. Sent on 01/30/2024Amazing, incredible, best photographers ever!
If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I would. I have no words to describe the love I have for Sarah and Ben. They shot our engagement shoot, our wedding day, and I hired them for my best friend's family photos. They make you feel so comfortable and calm. They make your photo shoot fun and exciting and not awkward at all. They provide such beautiful photos that really capture your special moments. I haven't stopped looking at my wedding photos since they sent them to me. By the way - they have an INSANELY FAST turnaround time. I recommend them to ANYONE looking for photographers and plan to use them again in the future. We have so much love for this duo - you won't go wrong hiring them!!!!! -

Mai S. Sent on 06/15/2022Amazingly talented & super fun & genuine photogs!
Every bride & groom’s journey toward their magical day is always filled with frenzy chaos; however, ours was extraordinarily so with the process of a full renovation to our newly purchased home along with the passing of our 2 beloved fur babies. It was such a bittersweet time for us. Having Sarah and Ben photograph us was the best and easiest decision we made. It was like having our friends shoot us. They certainly know how to dote on their bride and groom as well as going above and beyond: from my initial phone call with Sarah to the day of our wedding when Sarah had to get a photo of ours printed at the last minute for our guest sign in frame. For us, it is all about trust, rapport and being comfortable especially because you spend more time with your photographer(s) than your soon-to-be-spouse on your wedding day.
Not only did Sarah & Ben deliver on both our engagement shoot (providing lots of ideas to incorporate our wedding favors to honor our fur babies) and wedding day photos, they did so with so much class, creativity and ingenuity. They make your session yours; like no others before or after you. They are so detail-oriented, personable, unique and original. We had so much fun with them; their love and zest for their “work” shines through in all they do. Thank You so much, Sarah and Ben for capturing our love, and the love that surrounded us on our beautiful wedding day. We definitely found our family photographer in you as well as lifelong friends. Patrick and I adore you to pieces and we can’t wait for our next photo session with our puppies.

Jennifer Sent on 04/20/2019BEST Wedding Photographers
These two were amazing! They wrangled our family and friends to get photos done quickly and beautifully so that we could get to our reception and enjoy the party. They capture the love between people, whether husband and wife, father and daughter, or best friends. I couldn't ask for more. You need to hire them! -

Trying to review Sarah & Ben honestly make me speechless. They are PHENOMENAL! They are the kindest, most talented, funniest, wonderful people we know. We couldn't think of any duo better to capture our perfect day. No need to look any further, Sarah & Ben are the best. They capture the beauty of your relationship and day, make you feel comfortable, and most importantly make you have fun! Thank you so much Sarah & Ben, we love you guys!! -

Personality and Talent Sets Them Apart. Inspiring and Beautifully Captured
Meeting Sarah & Ben was the best thing to happen to us (aside from being proposed to/meeting my now husband). In our search for a photographer, we were really looking for someone we connected with-- this included photography style as well as on a personal level. I found Sarah and Ben Photography after researching & referrals from close friends. Our friends described Sarah & Ben as personable, friendly, and extremely talented. Our friends were only partially right because Sarah & Ben are SO MUCH MORE.
When meeting Sarah & Ben for the first time, it was like we were meeting with our long lost friends. What was supposed to be a short meeting turned into 1.5 hours & we could have kept chatting! What I instantly loved about them was that they were approachable & friendly but still very focused on making sure that we would be a priority amongst family & friends on our wedding day.
Our engagement photo session was a blast & it was largely due to the way Sarah & Ben work with one another. They compliment one another both personally & professionally and this is very evident. They have a unique balance working together to capture just the right angles but do it in a way that makes you feel comfortable & relaxed which is so important in trying to capture these intimate & natural-looking moments.
Prior to our wedding day, Sarah & Ben were the best sounding board for me. They were one of the first vendors I booked & I can honestly say that without them, I do not think I would have been half as comfortable or happy with our wedding. My favorite moment was during our wedding , I grabbed Sarah's hand to introduce her to all of my friends, as my friend! I loved more than anything that Sarah was with me throughout my wedding day and that Ben was able to be with the men.
There are so many more moments I want to share to further commend and illustrate why Sarah & Ben Photography are the best of the best however I will spare you all copious amounts of reading and highlight the top things I love about them.
- Personality- truly genuine people
- Feel like friends
- Will go the extra mile- on numerous occasions, both Sarah & Ben would go above and beyond to help pre/post wedding. We even asked to extend our wedding by an hour and without any hesitation, Sarah and Ben were excited to capture more of our special day.
- Details, details, details- They are so incredible when it comes to remembering those special moments-- you'll see :)
- Great communication- always responsive, always timely on delivery of photos and email communications
- Competitive Pricing
- Professional- polite, courteous and stuck to the timeline but did so in a way that brings clients along so it doesn't feel like a timeline at all
- Family and friends loved them- I cannot stress this one enough. Our family have swooned over our engagement photos but they cannot stop talking about how incredible Sarah & Ben were during our wedding reception. They were so accommodating when family/friends asked for a photo & were working diligently to capture as many moments as possible
I'm so glad that Sarah & Ben were such a special part of our wedding. Sarah & Ben gave us the greatest gift of all by helping us feel confident, comfortable and relaxed. I am exceptionally grateful for everything Sarah & Ben did for us and would highly recommend them for your photography needs! -

Sarah and Ben - The BEST decision you will make planning your special day
Our anniversary was last week so this review is LONG overdue but I finally think I have the words to adequately express my gratitude and awe for Sarah and Ben. Every step of the process we were treated as not only clients but friends they cared about. From the little gifts and cards they sent along the way to making us feel like total rockstars the day of (even when Sarah was SEVEN months pregnant!! She was the real rockstar) to helping get our album just right, they truly went above and beyond for us. As a long distance couple stationed in Hawaii, we were worried about communication but they were so prompt with responding to our emails and answering all of my questions, no matter how silly they were.
Other than their amazing personalities and professionalism, these photos are everything I could have ever wanted and MORE. The quality of the images is absolutely breathtaking and each shot was perfect. Even when my in-laws did a surprise dance number at the reception with no warning, they were right there capturing the antics. And somehow they managed to wrangle the groomsmen [see attached photo] to get pictures worthy of framing. They captured the feelings and emotions of the day and everyone who has seen them have said they are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. I show my wedding album to everyone who comes over to my house which I’m sure is a little excessive but I just love it so much!
Also, since we were 5,000 miles away for our engagement we used our engagement shoot for our rehearsal dinner the night before! Sarah and Ben captured some amazing candid photos of our family members and the over the top amazing decorations my in-laws prepared.
In short, hire Sarah and Ben as your wedding photographers; it will be the best money you spend during the whole planning process. Photos last far longer than anything else from your special day and these are photos you can pass on for generations that proudly continue to tell your love story.

Amanda Sent on 02/13/2018I cannot put into words how absolutely amazing Sarah and Ben are. From the day that I first reached out to them, I knew THEY WERE THE ONE! They were so responsive, so helpful, so kind and so so talented. I didn't have photographers following me around on my wedding day. Instead it felt like I had two friends sharing the day with us. Both our engagement session and wedding photos were so much fun. They made us genuinely laugh and enjoy every moment. Following my wedding day, I had so many guests commenting on how fun my photographers were, and how amazing my pictures turned out. Each "sneak peek" I was able to share on social media meant that I was flooded with comments and messages about how amazing my pictures were.

Kathryn Sent on 12/04/2017In our initial skype conversation, it was supposed to be about business, but we ended up just laughing with them for about 2 hours about TV shows, our dogs, and just life in general! They are so personal and really open up which helps you feel more comfortable. Leading up to the engagement shoot, Sarah and Ben reached out to us with advice, recommendations to look our best, and answered ALL of our questions. For the first few photos, you kind of feel out of place and aren't sure what to do, but they help navigate you through poses. Since they are pretty hilarious and witty behind the camera, it helps to lighten the mood and make you look "less stiff" in photos - basically you end up having a lot of fun with it, even if you are camera shy! There are times that I just was so beside myself with their collaboration vision and how they would read eachothers minds. For the wedding, I was in complete shock when Sarah and Ben emailed me of a minute by minute timeline of our entire DAY! Another amazing thing that they did that sets them apart is they asked for "MUST HAVE" photo groupings of extended family so they could take the photo and let your family enjoy cocktail hour. When my wedding photos came out, it literally brought me to tears at work when I saw them. I had no idea that they could tell the story of a day like that, but I felt as if I were reliving my wedding again through each photo. Sarah & Ben know how to capture you and your spouse, to where you can pass these photographs down from generation to generation and they will remain timeless. Every one of their photographs captured the love, energy and excitement that you experience on that day and touches other people that couldn’t be there to experience it with you. All those details that you spent HOURS planning for will be remembered, thanks to Sarah and Ben. I will never forget them because of their amazing work, humor, ability to control my CRAZY wedding party the day of, and make your special day effortless

Classic & Timeless
Sarah & Ben captured our wedding in the most incredible way and every time I go back to look at the photos I am blown away by their timeless beauty. I am transported back to the day of love and laughter and they made my favorite day, stand still in time. S&B were friendly, compassionate, hilarious, and became part of the family. You will not be disappointed when picking them to capture your love. -

Sam Sent on 12/27/2017There are so many amazing things to say about these two it is truly hard to know where to start. I was planning my wedding remotely and am not from the Tampa area and by some miracle found Sarah & Ben on a wedding website. From the second I reached out to them, they were friendly and warm and so responsive. We had a skype call for our first meeting and it became clear that Sarah & Ben are not just photographers, but kind people who are invested in doing anything they can to help make your wedding process special. Sarah went back and forth with me several times to help me pick the perfect locations for our engagement sessions. My husband and I are not typically comfortable in front of a camera, but they made us feel completely at ease and helped make the process enjoyable. Leading up to the wedding, I noticed I was relying heavily on Sarah for wedding-related advice, basically making her my photographer and wedding planner. They went above and beyond and always made me feel like no request was too much. On our wedding day, Sarah helped coordinate the timeline and they even drove my husband to our wedding venue after we had to make a quick back-up plan for our first look. She also helps everyone pose in a flattering way, which I now think about whenever I take a picture!
The quality of their pictures is phenomenal! Everything was timely and more amazing then I could have expected. Every detail was accounted for and they caught moments I didn’t even remember. After receiving the pictures, I became useless at work because I couldn’t stop looking at them and I pretty much sent them to everyone I know . Sarah & Ben are two people who love what they do and I absolutely loved every minute of working with them!

Emily Sent on 05/16/2018I still can't seem to find all the words to describe just how grateful we are to Sarah and Ben. Our wedding was such a special day and we appreciated all of our vendors, but let's be biased here, Sarah and Ben were the best decision we made. I say that because they are so much more than phenomenal photographers, they are phenomenal human beings. When looking for a photographer, my first stop was to stalk photos from our venue. I wanted someone who could capture the stunning beauty of the place and at the same time, the FEELING of a wedding day. When I saw their photos, read their reviews, and their own love story, I was hooked. Sarah called and right away I got a great feeling from her over the phone. She was lovely and answered my many questions. After our engagement photos, we were both so excited for our wedding! We worried about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera, but by the end of the day, we felt like models (and we're NOT). No surprise, the photos came out beautifully. The wedding only exceeded our expectations. Sarah and Ben were a dream. They were communicative, organized, professional, and captured some absolutely unforgettable moments. Our first look is one of those very special memories. Not only did they capture the moment and the emotion, but Ben saved the day when my veil decided it couldn't handle all the crying and tried to fling itself over the balcony. He simply put his hand up and caught it mid dive! I was so impressed by how they coordinated with our other vendors and really helped keep the day on track as well. After dinner, the sun was setting and once again, they gave us one of our favorite moments from the day. Sarah asked, "How would you like to capture your first sunset as a married couple?" The answer was, "Of course!" I would have never thought to schedule that in the day, but that's why Sarah and Ben are so good at what they do. They found the moments we couldn't have planned for. Thank you both so much! We love you!

Allie Sent on 02/02/2017We are pretty sure Sarah & Ben are actually magicians with some serious camera skills. Let us explain.
1. They read each other’s minds. Legitimately. From our very first meeting with Sarah and Ben, we knew we wanted them to spend our special day with us. They sat there drinking their coffees and finishing each other’s sentences like it was TOTALLY normal. (PS: It wasn’t. It was way cooler).
2. They read YOUR minds. They spend your ENTIRE wedding day one step ahead. Whether you need your veil to fly for the most perfect picture (thanks Ben!), or you are getting nervous and need Sarah to bust out in song and dance... they are on it. You don’t even have to ask. They just know.
3. They disappear. I’m totally serious! As good as they are at being RIGHT THERE when you need them, they have also perfected the magic of disappearing when you need them to (ie: when you’re wrapped up in a 3 minute long hug during your first look, or when you are walking down the aisle to make your forever promises). You’d never know they were there... and somehow they still get the most amazing pictures.
4. They cure photo-phobia! Sarah and Ben INSTANTLY (from the very first picture of our engagement session) calmed my photo-awkward husband. Seriously... try to get this man to take a selfie and he moans and groans. Sarah & Ben tell him to “Nicholas Sparks it”, and he becomes a GQ model.
All jokes aside – you won’t regret having Sarah & Ben there on your big day (or in your life in general) for a second, and you will love every single picture. They are kind, loving, sweet, funny (or as my husband would say, punny – the puns are never ending!), prepared, reliable, creative, and incredibly talented. Five stars just doesn’t seem like enough. Call them and meet for coffee… you won’t need us to convince you!
