    We would totally recommend Sarah!

    Sarah photographed our May 2022 wedding in Asheville, NC. We appreciated Sarah’s photo-journalistic style, and were excited to learn that she’s laid back while still professional in her approach. We hired her for 4 hours to photograph the ceremony, a few family/couple portraits, and the first part of the reception. Sarah captured so many happy memories from our wedding, and all the silly faces our family and friends made along the way, which is exactly what we were hoping for. We would totally recommend her!

    Amazing Photographer!

    I had just a small elopement to a wedding chapel due to COVID concerns but I wanted some professional photos to relive the day. Sarah was easy to communicate with via email and she was easy to pay as she offered several methods to send her deposit. She was very flexible with payment methods and let you know clearly upfront what her costs were.
    She made sure to make contact shortly before the wedding to review what I was wanting and she even made a list of how it was to go with shot suggestions.
    She was familiar with the area and had a great eye to take us to spots that offered amazing views and that looked great in photographs. She has a great artistic talent in finding the beauty in the simplest of settings and brings it out in her pictures. She was also easy going and made it feel like we had known her from before the big day. She was game for any idea we had for a photo. Highly recommended and I am so glad we had her to take our photos!

    Amazing from beginning to end!

    Sarah was AMAZING. I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing she was.
    1. She was up for all of our ideas and we really loved talking to her while we figured out which of our ideas made sense and would look good. She told us about the trolley in Asheville and it was perfection! She mapped out an entire route for the several hours before the wedding and we went through downtown and through the River Arts district taking pictures with the wedding party. Plus, the trolley was super practical for taking pictures in multiple locations.
    2. She had her teacher voice on when she had to get all the family together or the bridal party, or anyone for that matter- which we needed desperately. She made all the pictures quick and painless for everyone.
    3. The pictures. They were so awesome! I literally cannot narrow them down right now.
    4. She always responded right away. It was so helpful because I would only have little bits of time to plan but I could rely on her to get back to me whenever.

    She was amazing. My maid of honor still talks about how awesome she is.

    What can I say about Sadie (Sarah)? She is just the best! I planned my wedding in Asheville from Florida so I didn’t actually meet her until a couple of hours before my wedding. From the very first email, I knew that I had made the right decision. Her attention to detail and commitment to capturing every beautiful moment of our day was apparent from the very beginning. And she is delightful! We now consider her not just a friend, but family. We LOVED hanging out with her on our wedding day. We LOVED that she managed to be everywhere all the time. I LOVED that she was a solid voice of reason to keep me calm when I was freaking out about being late to my own wedding. She knew the best places around the downtown Asheville area to get us some really beautiful shots and I absolutely can’t wait to see them.

    You get one shot (pun intended) at getting beautiful wedding photos. I haven’t even seen mine yet and I know that they will be utter perfection. My husband and I paid for our own wedding and had to stick to a very strict budget, but agreed to not put a price on two things: an open bar and an amazing photographer. Her prices were incredibly reasonable and she even stayed past our designated hours because the party was still going strong. She went above and beyond in every possible way and we are so thankful for her. We love you, Sadie! Welcome to our family!

    My husband Jeff and I would highly recommend Sarah Whitmeyer as a photographer. Sarah was great to work with both before and after our wedding. She made sure she delivered all of our requested shots, and went above and beyond to capture our wedding. Looking at the photos was like reliving our wedding, and even provided memories that we may have missed during the whirlwind day. We will treasure our photos forever.

    Sarah did a wonderful job at our wedding. There was a thunderstorm and she was calm and collected throughout the entire process (which helped keep me calm and collected!). She was kind and upbeat and our guests frequently told us how much they enjoyed having her as a part of the wedding. She worked so hard on the day and was also very easy to communicate with before the day. I would highly recommend her!

    On my wedding day it rained, I got stung by bees, and all other hilarious and unexpected things happened and Sarah rolled with the punches and made me feel beautiful and just perfect. Working with Sarah was truly a dream. She was professional, calm, supportive, and put everyone around her at ease. I would recommend her and her team without reservation.

    Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the whole process! The professionalism, comfort, and fun she brought to our wedding day was perfect. Our families can be divas sometimes, but Sarah kept them on schedule while capturing all of our precious moments that day. She went above and beyond Stu and I's expectations! The open communication throughout the planning really put me at ease. I felt relaxed and confident during our photo shoot time thanks to Sarah - she even gave us a quick sneak peak of our pic while we were shooting, and AMAZING! Sarah is a true professional and any couple would be lucky to have her be a part of their big day!

    Obviously the photography speaks for itself but Whitmeyer Photography has a way of making you feel completely comfortable while they are shooting your wedding. Sarah and Rachael shot ours and I cannot express enough how wonderful they were! Thanks guys!!!

    I just wanted to leave a comment to say I love coming back to this page, coming back to our wedding day! Sarah was the perfect photographer for us. We knew we really wanted a photojournalist instead of a traditional photographer, and found Sarah through WPJA, and never looked back. Sarah was kind enough to work within our budget, and followed us throughout the day to capture the entire memory - the whole story. If I had to recommend one thing to brides-to-be, it would be to never settle on photography. Sarah did such a beautiful job and we cherish the memories she so perfectly captured!

    Sarah was great to work with and is a very talented and creative photographer to boot! She was well prepared to capture our moments both posed and candid, and the photo booth we had as an add on was a terrific hit.

    To set the stage, I was a groom that was dreading being ordered around and having his picture taken all day. I can't express how much my fear didn't match up with the realities of the day. Sarah and her assistant Rachael were amazing. They put me at such ease and made it so I could feel normal and natural taking photos with my beautiful bride and our wedding party. They setup an amazing reveal / first look for us in a picturesque setting that made it incredibly special and intimate. They captured every part of the day beautifully, from the major moments of the ceremony to the small moments I shared with my now wife. I can't recommend Sarah enough, she certainly made our wedding a much more enjoyable experience and provided us with beautiful memories for a lifetime.

    Sarah has to be hands down our favorite vendor! Sarah did such a wonderful job taking charge and getting the posed photos that we need but then her candid shots are perfect! Sarah's photos are breathtaking... I mean wow!

    Sarah is everything positive that has been said about her on this site - to include her assistant. If you can't work with them you may wish to seek counseling. J Poland, Father of the Bride!

    I can't recommend Sarah enough! She was friendly and professional leading up to the wedding, and on the day of we couldn't have been happier with our selection. Her final work product was incredible quality with the artistic flair that we wanted. She also had a great way of dealing with people dynamics at the wedding and was fun to have present as part of our day!!

    Sarah Whitmeyer was not only our photographer, she became a friend to our family. Sarah came in a took all my worries away on my wedding day. She was always early to each event with a smile on her face. It was evident that she loves her job of photography. Sarah is not only a wonderful person, she is also an amazing photographer. The images she captured will be forever in our hearts as we reflect on our special wedding day. Sarah captured moments that i didn't remember until I looked through all the photos. If you are looking for a fun, honest, reliable, caring, professional that takes amazing photos, you should have Sarah Whitmeyer as your photographer!

    Sarah and her team were EXCEPTIONAL - I seriously couldn't have asked for anything more. They captured our wedding perfectly and were there to catch every moment, from hair & makeup to our sparkler exit. I loved having two photographers so that they could get more of the wedding.

    HIGHLY recommend!!

    Sarah was in her element! She is incredibly talented and found spots to shoot our wedding pics that we never would have thought of! You will love her work. She's passionate about making your special day go smoothly, and she's committed to creating lasting memories you'll have for a lifetime. She's flexible, easy-going, and quick to find a solution when something unexpected comes up!

    Being a perfectionist my husband & I flew down a year before our wedding to meet with different vendors & fell in love with Sarah as a person & her photography. I was featured in a magazine spread in 2012, and the same National Magazine is featuring our September 2013 wedding-so there was pressure to find the best photographer in the Asheville area! Her prices were wonderful and what I really love is that she gives you a disk of all of your edited photos. Living in the NJ/NYC area & planning our destination wedding for over a year, Sarah was responsive & communicative via email & text & was happy to help in suggesting vendors in the area (side note if anyone needs a videographer her suggestion was WONDERFUL-Envision Event Media (Taylor Hellhake) was phenomenal!) Sarah has every couple complete a questionnaire in regards to the type of photos you are looking for and names of family members etc. a month prior to the wedding which I found very helpful & she carried out all of our requests. It means a lot to have a pleasant photographer who is easy to work with, not intrusive & makes you as well as your family members & friends comfortable-which makes it easy to capture “moments” instead of poses. A bride who paid MUCH attention to every little detail which I appreciate being captured, Sarah took it to another level by capturing loving/funny moments that are sentimental to us looking back on our special day. A few weeks after our wedding she posted a blog with about 50 photos-the final edited photos took about 8 weeks to edit & post. Upon booking we knew it would be 8 weeks-I was just a bride very anxious to see all the photos & getting very antsy, but in the end it was worth the wait & couldn’t be happier with our photos & we appreciate Sarahs hard work during our wedding weekend & beyond. I am so pleased with our final photos & would recommend Sarah to any bride in search of a photographer!

    Sarah is awesome to work with. Couldn't have asked for a better person to keep me relaxed. She was with me from the Bridesmaid Luncheon to our final exit. Our pictures are amazing. She captured so many great moments along with all the shots we talked about. Photography was one of the most important items for me and I couldn't have been more pleased.

    Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with at our intimate wedding at a private home - she had great ideas for photos on the spot, was very flexible and had a gentle way about her with the kids that were present. Sarah worked with us on time and pricing given that we weren't doing a traditional big wedding which we really appreciated. Thanks so much ladies!

    If you are looking for a photographer that can truly capture the feelings and emotion of your wedding day in a photo, Sarah Whitmeyer is that person. I fell in love with Sarah's photography style when looking through photos on her website in April of last year. After looking through photos of a total stranger's wedding day, I felt as if I new them and that I was there. That was what I was looking for with my wedding pictures, and that is exactly what I got with Sarah and G (Sarah's assistant).

    I cannot say enough great things about working with Sarah. From our first meeting, Sarah's bubbly and genuine personality put my fiance and I at ease. She is very professional, but also feels like a friend that you have known for a lifetime. My wedding day was so much fun and Sarah and G were such a joy to work with.

    My friends and family had such wonderful things to say during the wedding and they rave reviews went to the next level once people were able to see the beautiful photos online. I would highly recommend Sarah Whitmeyer Photography.

    Sarah was absolutely fabulous from our first meeting. She was incredibly professional and comfortable to work with. She put everyone at ease, was willing go above and beyond to help make sure everything flowed well and the day was seamless. The photos are beautiful and a great depiction of our day, she seemed to capture every moment, and was never intrusive! By the end of our time together her and the assistant photographer G were part of our "family"! And all for a very reasonable price! I recommend Sarah to everyone!

    Sarah photographed my husband and I for our engagement photos and during our wedding weekend. We couldn't have been happier with the results! Sarah's eye for detail and storytelling comes out in her beautiful images. She is also very flexible, positive in attitude, punctual, and so much fun to be around during such a special time in one's life. I can't wait to hire her again!

    Sarah was booked the day of our wedding, but offered us the services of 2 of her associate photographers. Lauren and Kate were absolutely awesome - I can't say enough great things about them. Not only did they take amazing photos, but they were very easy to work with. We were really adamant about not spending a lot of time on posed photos, and not only did they respect our wishes to get to our reception as quickly as possible, they got great photos anyway (and I hardly realized they were there documenting the whole evening!).

    I think the most important thing in the photography was that they really captured moments - which is important because the whole night was kind of a blur and it is wonderful to be able to look back through the pictures. Sarah did a wonderful job editing, and it was essential to us that we had access to all our photos - and unlike many other photographers Sarah sends you a DVD with all your edited shots.

    We could not have been happier with the services. I have had friends pay a lot more for photos that did not come out nearly as well, so in addition to being fantastic photographers, the reasonable price makes Whitmeyer photography that much more amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    Sarah did a fantastic job with our wedding photos! She is very easy to get in touch with, talk to, and professional. Anyone who sees our photos raves about our photography. Her assistant photographer, Kate, was also fabulous. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect photography team.

    Sarah Whitmeyer is fantastic. She's an excellent photographer who will get tons of wonderful photos, plus she is a pleasure to work with/hang out with. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!! She should be any bride's top choice as a photographer. Excellent value, wonderful photographer, and a genuinely nice person who will take lots of great photos of the day!

    Sarah did wonderful with our photographs, she captured moments that will always remind me about our very special day. Sarah's style of photography makes for the best wedding photos because she catches those moments of true emotions and responses, the ones that make you feel the emotion all over again when you see the photo. Sarah photographed our wedding and did my bridal portraits as well. Her work was fabulous, and her personality is the best! Not to mention, she has great prices! Sarah, I would recommend you to anyone. Thanks for all the great photos/memories!

    Sarah was amazing!! Not only is her work out of this world, she was so easy to get along with!! She blended into the background and captured candid priceless shots, which was what we were after. She watced and waited for the shots t present themselves naturally, rather than have uas pose for a "fake" moment. We loved her and are so thankful for the wonderful memories she captured for us!!

    Yes, I am always skeptical of the all 5 star reviews as well but I really couldn't take a star away for anything. Sarah shot both my bridal portraits and my wedding and had to deal with the elements on both occasions. I did a lot of independent research for a photographer and since I live in Chicago and was getting married in my small hometown in NC it was all via the internet, phone, and email. I explored a few routes but was sold on Sarah the moment I saw her work, spoke with her on the phone, and received her packages in the mail. I flew into NC for my bridal portraits so they had to get done within a time frame. The day Sarah and I scheduled the shoot it was pouring rain (during a NC drought period, just my luck) Sarah was very flexible and willingly rescheduled for the next day before I flew back to Chicago. The portraits were great since everything was so green after the rain, she really took advantage of all the natural coloring.

    My wedding day sings the same song, 20 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle outside, the rains came. Sarah never skipped a beat and despite the time she lost shooting the pre-ceremony pictures Brian and I never felt like she took up a lot of our wedding day time to get those portraits we now cherish. I was worried that Sarah would have a hard time capturing an outside wedding with over 350 guests, but she proved me wrong by shooting over 1,000 photos and capturing moments that would have been lost if she had not been there to document it. She has worked with me through multiple computer compatibility issues and always makes sure that I have what I need. I highly recommend Sarah as a photographer, she produces great work and even better customer service before, during, and after the wedding.

    Sarah Whitmeyer is an amazing photographer, personable, and there to capture the moments you value most. Sarah shot my beautiful bridal portraits before the wedding. On my wedding day, she spent the entire day with us in our most intimate traditional Chinese and Cambodian wedding ceremonies in my family's home in the morning to the beautiful outdoor American-style ceremony with the reception to follow in the afternoon and through the evening. I would definitely recommend Whitmeyer photography for everything from candid life shots to traditional portraits. Sarah shows that she genuinely cares to get the shots that you cherish! She worked with me for my wedding, and I had so many great pictures to remember the day (and my three wedding ceremonies).

    My husband had the first meeting with our photographer. When he (someone who hates having his picture taken) was sold on her ideas about wedding photographs I knew she would be perfect for our special day. Sarah was great at finding the right shots. She was everywhere documenting so many parts of the day. She was very professional and organized. She arrived at the church early to get a feel for the space, and was very respectful of what photos could and couldn't be taken during the service. I am very happy with the choice we made in our photographer.

    Sarah was awesome to work with and the pictures turned out beautiful. It takes a while to receive all the photos, but she does all her own editing and is up front about the time frame from the beginning and it is totally worth the wait. We hope to use Sarah again for future special occasions.

    There are some great aspects of Sarah and some that I didn't necessarily care for. I love her photos on the website and so far I love what photos of ours she has posted to her blog. I also love the fact that you get her for all day (plus an assistant) as opposed to a set number of hours, plus you get high resolution copies of all the pictures. Some of the photos that I thought looked silly that she recommend I do (in a pose), my husband loves so she knows what she's doing. I thought her price is extremely competitive, I was very happy with the price. For the negatives, if you send her an e-mail, she doesn't always respond quickly (i.e. sometimes several days) and the turnaround time for getting our photos is a full two months after the wedding. I'm not sure if that's the norm but it seems crazy long to me. Having said that, it's going to be slightly longer for the videographer who is with a different company.

    Sarah is great! She could work on her communication, but she is great as a photographer.

    Sarah was extremely flexible in working with our schedule. A primary reason that we selected her was because of the amount of time she was willing to give us for the cost.

    My opinion of Sarah as a person is that she is a very, very friendly young woman; very upbeat. I will say that based on her website, it is clear that she has done some nice work, but I was extremely disappointed with our experience & the results. The photography, lack of professionalism, and lack of communication was not impressive and lacked the quality I had hoped for. Granted, some of that trickles down to the bride/groom not communicating as well as expected. But, I believe if you are going to market yourself as professional wedding photographer, then one needs to be able to bring all of that in together - which clearly she was unable to do. Maybe after a few more years, she will be more seasoned and be able to read things better. I also believe she could have done a better job of scoping things out in advance so the pictures could have had nicer back drops at the gardens/reception. We were led to believe that she did, but considering the outcome of the photos, it is doubtful. I would have rather had 100 quality pictures than 1,500+ marginal ones. Other than that, a very nice person. When I relay her name to people, I caution them to stay on top of her.
