    Wedding Photography & Videography

    My husband and I got married 10/21. Sarah was our photographer for the wedding and we worked with her team to have a second photographer and videographer. Everyone was amazing! Our guests complimented us on how well Sarah and her team were doing. Sarah was very organized, responsive, and knew how to help us plan to have the coverage we needed. She was very helpful to put together a timeline, understand types of details and portraits to consider, and how we can best prepare. Sarah was highly recommended to us by a friend's wedding she photographed. Her photos are amazingly detailed and artistic. Sarah's photographs capture the beauty and magic in every moment. My husband and I were so happy she was available to photograph our wedding. We are even beginning to think about having an additional photoshoot with just me and my hatband. We couldn't be more pleased to work with her. If you haven't booked a photographer yet, you need to work with Sarah and her team!! They are the best!!

    The absolute best!!

    Cannot say enough good things about Sarah & her team! Sarah was so responsive and helpful in the early stages of our wedding planning and was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. Jenna was our photographer for our wedding day and she was amazing. She was such a calming presence and kept us feeling so relaxed and stress-free the entire day. Jenna was so organized and did an amazing job keeping us on schedule. Just got our sneak peak gallery back and we are absolutely thrilled with how the photos turned out. Thank you Sarah and Jenna for making our day so special and for preserving all the wonderful memories from our wedding!

    Impressive Work!

    One of the most important things to us for our wedding was getting the right photographer to capture the day. That proved trickier than we thought since I am a professional photographer, and I didn’t want our photos to be boring or generic. We looked into a lot of photographers and narrowed down our search to a couple that we thought would do a great job but no one matched the level of style that Sarah brought to the table.

    We met Sarah at our friends’ wedding and when we saw the final photos we were blown away. They weren’t just wedding photos, they were moody, stylized, and really captured our friends’ personalities. When we booked her for our own wedding, she was a joy to work with from go. She was super flexible about our Engagement Session with timing and location and when we got those photos back it only reinforced that we had made a great choice. We ended up using only her photos for our Wedding Website and on the invites and Save the Dates.

    Her incredible photos should be enough, but Sarah also has an amazing cadence with people. She made us feel very comfortable and was able to work a crowd to get the shot she needed. She was really good at communicating with our party and families. She was also so patient and kind but was able to be firm when necessary and didn’t let anyone get in the way of capturing all the photos we had requested. Sarah worked so hard on every shoot we had with her and dedicated herself 100% to what she was doing in the moment. We couldn’t be happier with her work and work ethic.

    Amazing experience for all events!

    We hired Sarah for our engagement photos and for our wedding! We used photos from the engagement shoot for both our Save the Dates and Invitations- they were all so stunning! We had a fun time getting to know Sarah, and she made the whole experience fun and comfortable! Kevin worked with my husband, and was so personable! They are both dedicated professionals, and stayed later than hired when I could not find a custom jacket I wanted at the end of the night! Not only did they stay to take the photos, but helped look around our site to locate the jacket. We are so incredibly happy she was with us to capture these special moments!

    Love Love Love!

    This team was absolutely wonderful! I threw a wedding in my backyard and knew absolutely nothing about weddings and they walked me through every step of the way. Sarah was attentive and intuitive to my needs ahead of the wedding. I had no idea what I was doing and made really wonderful suggestions and set up the timing perfectly. Kevin, from the team, was my photographer and he was amazing the day of! My partner and I are not picture takers, we are not super comfortable in front of the camera and he made us feel so at ease. He took beautiful shots of our accessories and really great ideas for group shots. During the cocktail hour and reception he never imposed himself on us or the guests but was always around taking gorgeous candid shots. I cannot say enough wonderful things. Thank you Sarah Churchill Photography for making my wedding the most perfect day!

    Amazing!

    If you are reading this review and are looking for an amazing wedding photographer, book Sarah now! We first reached out to Sarah based on her other positive reviews, and I can say that they were all definitely correct. From the first conversation we had, Sarah was so professional, kind, friendly, and easy to work with. This was all the more true when we worked with her! We did an engagement photo shoot with her before the wedding, and it went so well! Sarah was so organized and quickly picked up our "vibe" and ran with it. She was fun, funny, and easy to talk to the whole time that it made taking photos so effortless and easy. We loved our finished results!!!! They were seriously amazing and she got so many shots and angles that it was hard to choose just one for our save the dates! At the wedding day itself, Sarah was truly nothing short of amazing. She arrived early and ready to go, but at the same time was very quick to adjust or help whenever necessary. We were working on a tight schedule to get photos in before the ceremony, and Sarah made sure that they all got done. At the same time, she was both efficient and very calm and easygoing. She put us at rest and made me feel like it was one thing I didn't have to worry about. I could honestly go on and on about how happy I was that we had Sarah photographing our wedding. In short, we booked Sarah because of her great reviews, and so are writing our own. If you are reading this review and thinking about booking Sarah, do it!! I cannot imagine a better photographer experience for a wedding!

    Awesome and professional

    Sarah and her team were absolutely amazing, not only are the pictures sooo good and captured every moment but they took time to really capture smaller details as well. They even did some coordinating as well to make sure everything went well and they were able to capture certain things! All the money we spent was worth every penny. They were kind compassionate and professional I highly recommend her and her team! It could not have went better!

    Sarah is exceptional!

    Sarah was exceptional! There are not enough words to describe how happy my now husband and I are with working with Sarah. She was very responsive to any questions that we had and she made sure that our timeline and the pictures that we wanted were captured. She helped to make our day run smoothly while capturing special photo requests and moments that we will remember forever! She is very personable and so easy to work with, I felt like my friend was taking our pictures all day. I have joked with her that we will need to invite her for a future vow renewal!

    Perfection

    I don't know how to describe how good Sarah is but I can at least tell she is a terrific artist. You can easily realise she loves her job and that is why she is incredibly good at it and spreads positive energy around her during the entire weeding day. She makes long and sometimes stressful wedding-day photo shots so smooth, easy and quick with her kind and professional attitude. She finds the absolute best spots in any circumstamce in any venue. I was shocked how stunning the spots at which she suggested us to take photos turned out. Everybody complimented how good our photographer was after the wedding. She is like a magician of lighting and posing. She works so hard during the wedding day and edits/shares the photos very quickly afterwards. She is the absolute best!

    Hiring Sarah is the best choice you'll make

    Have you ever met someone and instantly felt a kinship that was unexplainable? Like, immediately just wanted to be their friend? The first time my partner and I got off an initial introduction call with Sarah, we both said "Wow. She's SO cool."

    Every step of the way, from needing to postpone our wedding because of COVID, to meeting us by the venue the week before, to the day of, Sarah made everything seamless, fun, and like we were spending time with a life long friend. She and her day-of assistant Kevin navigated our frenetic families and multiple venues, captured all of the motion and energy, and every time I saw someone grouping up to take a photo on their phone, there were Kevin and Sarah. And the end result - WOW. We're floored. You can feel Sarah's passion for photography in every frame. The level of comfort she made us feel really comes through, and I'm so in love with every single shot. THANK YOU SARAH!

    TLDR: Are you considering hiring Sarah? Do it. You will not regret it. Bonus points - you get to support a woman owned business.

    Amazing and incredible!

    Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process of planning our wedding and on the day itself!

    We first booked Sarah in 2019 for a 2020 wedding. When, obviously, that didn't work out, she easily rescheduled for 2021...and then, finally, for 2022. Through every rescheduling, Sarah was professional, calm, and supportive. Exactly what we needed as we tried to piece together a wedding three times!

    On the day, Sarah couldn't have been more amazing. She was relaxed and helped us feel at ease. She really, truly met us where we were. I felt so comfortable -- and getting my picture taken is not my favorite thing! She also made sure we were able to create a schedule so I could participate in all the parts of the day I wanted to, while still getting the pictures I wanted.

    The final products were gorgeous, and I cannot stop looking at them and reliving our amazing, amazing day. We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!!

    More Wonderful than Words!

    Sarah is an absolute one-of-kind person and professional who will elevate your wedding in ways you couldn't even imagine! When I found her on WeddingWire, I was immediately entranced by her beautiful portfolio. I was even more confident in my decision when we spoke on the phone and it was like talking to a close friend. I did most of my wedding planning from overseas and she was with me every step of the way. She is extremely thorough while still being fun, which was such a blessing because it stopped me from feeling overwhelmed. My husband and I were so nervous about being the center of attention, but Sarah's fun and confident guidance really helped us relax and enjoy ourselves. She really went above and beyond on the day of the wedding - not only capturing truly stunning photos, but also celebrating with me and my guests. Every single guest commented on how amazing they thought she was! Don't even hesitate in choosing her for your special day. Thank you Sarah!

    Sarah is the best!!

    Since I was planning a winter wedding that would be mostly at night, one of the main things I was looking for when I was searching for a photographer was someone who knew how to get great lighting when there isn't a lot of light. Sarah is that person 100%. Every single photo she's sent us is beautiful. The shots I asked for came out amazing, the shots she came up with on the fly are beyond amazing, and the candid shots capture the day so perfectly - I can't pick a favorite! I was crying looking through the preview she sent me because her photos truly take me right back to the moment. Her photos honestly speak for themselves, but beyond that, she was such a rockstar on our wedding day, trudging through the snow to get the perfect shot for us, lugging around all her own equipment because her assistant had covid and couldn't be there, getting our family shots as quickly as possible so we could run inside between shots (it was COLD on our wedding day!) - and finding the perfect shot locations for all our outdoor photos! I can't say enough good things about her but seriously, hire her. You will NOT regret it!

    Amazing Team! 10/10 Would Hire Again

    Sarah and her team are an amazing group of professionals that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique, personal, and high-quality wedding photography experience.

    Sarah was prompt, trustworthy, and full of joy during every interaction we had with her.

    Lastly, everyone who sees our photos are stunned. They all have the same reaction: "OMG. These are breathtaking."

    Amazing Photographer

    I don’t know where to even begin with how amazing Sarah was. I am a COVID bride and after searching for a new photographer I came across Sarah, and I am so happy I did. Sarah worked with my husband and I on all our date changes and was so kind and flexible through this crazy year, she had our back! She takes the most beautiful photos is so down to earth and just awesome overall. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and her style is amazing. Sarah worked with us and was so accommodating and flexible and shot our wedding ceremony and a year later our reception, she was on the whole journey with us and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. If you need a photographer for any event Sarah is your girl!!

    No less than AMAZING

    I can’t express enough how wonderful Sarah is. From the first phone call to the day of the wedding she had made us feel comfortable and at ease. One of my biggest worries was to have a photographer where they would have us posing in ways that just wouldn’t be us… Sarah did so well in reading us she just knew what to do, what to say. Right away I felt comfortable and felt like someone who I’ve known for years!! Which is soooo important to me, such a sweet person and so very talented. I can’t thank her enough for capturing such beautiful moments that I will cherish and share for many many years to come. I still can’t believe how amazing these pictures came out, it was everything and more!!! She is patient, kind, warm, very professional, and like I said… no less than amazing!

    Best photographer ever!

    My wife and I met Sarah a few years ago when she photographed our friend’s wedding. She did such a great job that we had to have her do our wedding as well. My sister is getting married next year and I told her not to bother interviewing any photographers other than Sarah. You will not find anyone who will do a better job.

    We absolutely love the way our wedding photos came out. Sarah is so creative and has such an artistic eye which made our pictures unique and very cool.

    She was so awesome to work with. She really cares about her work and her clients and it really shows. In addition to being a great photographer, she is very sweet and genuine. We felt so comfortable with her which makes a huge difference! Not to mention, a photographer that can make you smile and laugh makes for some pretty great pictures!

    Her communication was clear and quick from the very beginning, which is super important in the wedding planning process. She really listened to what we wanted and what we didn’t want.

    I could not recommend Sarah more. She went above and beyond all expectations and by the end, we are happy to call her a friend!

    If you are planning a wedding/event, do yourself a favor and call her!

    Sarah is the BEST!

    Sarah was the photographer for our wedding and I cannot recommend her enough! The photos turned out beautifully and she was such a pleasure to work with. We had to postpone a year due to covid and she was very understanding and flexible in working with us as we set a new date.
    We had a large indoor/outdoor venue so we opted for a second shooter plus an assistant and everyone was so wonderful. They were with us for getting ready, first look, ceremony, and reception, and Sarah was so great at guiding us through all of the events we wanted to capture while going with the flow. Our officiant was late due to Hurricane Ida-related travel issues and Sarah kept us calm and busy with photos while we waited, I was so grateful for her presence. She is also a lot of fun and we had a great time taking some glam dress photos.
    10/10 highly recommend!

    Perfection in every way!

    I could sit here and honestly write an essay about how fantastic Sarah and her team are. Out of all of my vendors she was the easiest to work with and the most professional. She really understood my vision of what I wanted out of my pictures and boy did she deliver. Aside from being an absolute rockstar of a photographer.. Sarah made sure that I was feeling my best all day. She helped me with my dress even though I didn't ask and made sure I stayed as stress free as possible. Honestly she did more to help me than my day of coordinator. One of my favorite memories of my wedding day is being able to meet Sarah and seeing how happy her team was to be there on our day. I have multiple pictures sent by friends where her and the team just have genuine smiles on their faces. I will 1000% use her any time I need a photographer :)

    A Dream Come True

    h photographed our wedding on 9/12. Our original date was in December however due to Covid we decided to downsize and do it outdoors while the weather was still nice. sarah was accommodating and encouraging throughout the entire process. From the planning, to the prepping, to the actual picture taking, Sarah exceeded any and all of my expectations. Our teaser album brought me to tears with its elegance. Her ability to capture the emotions and the events of the day is unparalleled.

    An amazing surprise!

    Sarah was an absolute joy! She photographed my surprise proposal to my partner and was at the location well before us, was able to be incognito while I was building up to things, and then did an engagement photo shoot with us after the surprise.

    Two important notes for all future bookers:

    Personality: Sarah was incredibly kind, unassuming, and had just the right amount of aiding us in our positioning, etc, without making us uncomfortable. She was funny and bright and made the whole thing feel as comfortable and personal as possible. She can definitely adapt to any type of shoot you want, whether it is a rigidly posed or freeform and funky shoot. She is awesome!

    Technicals: Sarah arrived early, scoped out the area, had multiple cameras and lenses, has a great understanding of lighting, mood, aesthetic, and timing, and was extremely professional (while also being genuinely good-natured and down-to-earth).

    Do yourselves a favor: hire her!

    An incredible photographer and person!

    Sarah's professional abilities are endless. She works well with couples, listens, adjusts and always puts the client first. We are a COVID-19 couple and had to change our date several times due to the ever changing restrictions. Sarah was always there to support and understand us. She is so incredibly thoughtful with her work and as a person. We really enjoyed working with Sarah and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.
