    Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

    Back in 2018 my best friends we’re getting married and chose Sara as their photographer. I told myself if I ever get married and Sara was still doing photography I would choose her in a heart beat. And I lucked out! Sara captured our wedding day as perfect as I could ever imagined ♥️♥️ She is incredibly talented and amazing to work with! I purchased the wedding album and it was worth every penny!!

    wedding photographer

    Sara is absolutely the best! Our wedding photos are amazing, and we cannot thank her enough. The way she was able to capture everything still stuns me. The photos are so true to color and beautifully taken. They will take us back to our day for years to come. On top of amazing photos, Sara is a great person. She was very professional and easy to work with. She had everything organized for us and had a plan, taking so much stress off us. Sara is someone we would love to use as a photographer again and again as our life grows.

    The Best Photographer!

    Sara did an exceptional job with our engagement photos and weddings. My wife and I were living in a different state at the time of our engagement photos and had a very limited amount of time in Billings during the holidays. Despite it being one of our he busiest times of the year Sara worked with our schedule to make it work! On our wedding day she was nothing less than incredible. She takes amazing pictures, is incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, and fits right in with everyone on your special day.

    Sara made our wedding a dream!

    Sara did such an amazing job on our engagement and wedding pictures! We hired Sara as our photographer for our wedding in Cancun and they turned out perfect. She did a fabulous job of coordinating both of our rambunctious families, kept us well organized throughout the day while still capturing every special moment big or small. She helped us scope out locations around the resort and she knew just what to say to us to get the perfect pictures, even after smiling all day! The photos that she took were absolutely breath taking, we have received so many compliments. Thank you so much for documenting our special day!!!

    Simply amazing!

    If you are in the market for a wedding photographer look no further! Sara is an absolute dream of a photographer and I can honestly say our wedding wouldn't have gone as perfect as it did without her. One of the things I found to be so incredible about Sara is her attention to detail. She brought some items for detail shots that I never would have thought of and even brought a copy of our wedding invitation to include as well! She provided us with a day of schedule which was SO helpful!! Aside from here taking care of all the little details her photography is unmatched. She has a way with making you feel so comfortable and really helps bring you into the momenet, even on one of the biggest days of your life! I really have nothing but amazing things to say and can say with 100% certainty that if you chose Sara to be your photographer she will exceed your expectations!

    Stupendous

    Are you in the market for a wedding photographer? Well, Sara Nagel is your gal. From the first meeting through getting our images Sara was professional, helpful, and easy to work with. Sara made taking photos fun and stress-free. Not only is she amazing when it comes to helping get the perfect images, but she also helped with the day of coordinating to make sure everything ran smoothly and on time. I was so worried that we would not have enough time for all the photos we wanted, but somehow with Sara’s direction, and professionalism we got them all done. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is easy to work with, will get the best pictures, and is affordable I highly recommend Sara Nagel Photographer. While you are scooping up Sara to do your photos, also consider having her husband, Pat do your videographer. These two are sure to produce images of your big day, that help you constantly feel like you are reliving that moment.

    Run, don’t walk, to hire Sara!

    Shortly after we got engaged, I knew I wanted to book Sara for our engagement session and wedding after seeing her previous work pop up in my Facebook feed. Not only is she incredibly talented at capturing the big moments, the small moments and all of the other moments in between, but she is genuinely one of the SWEETEST people, and was always super responsive to any questions we had throughout the entire wedding planning process. It’s so nice to know that for any future photos my husband and I want taken, we know exactly who to turn to. Run, don’t walk, to book Sara!

    Absolutely amazing


    Sara has been beyond amazing everytime we have worked with her. She made taking photos something my husband hates such a fun and easy experience. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos came out absolutely stunning. Sara was a huge part in making our wedding day go so smooth. You can tell she really cares about and takes pride in the work she does. She even helped putting my veil in my hair, making sure it would stay! And while we were waiting to get all the final edited photos from the wedding Sara was great about keeping us updated. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone wanting photos done, and I can’t wait for photo sessions with her in the future.

    An incredible experience with Sara as our photographer!

    My husband and I were so lucky to have had Sara Nagel photograph our wedding. We had quite a large wedding with many people involved and Sara handled everything with grace and professionalism. Directing and posing our giant families is a very difficult task and Sara made it look easy! With all of the wedding stress in the air she helped us to stay calm and just enjoy the moment on the day of and for that we are so grateful. Our photos turned out incredibly beautiful, her talent is so evident in each of them. Thank you, Sara, for making this experience so wonderful and memorable!

    Outstanding

    Sara Nagel is the most professional, efficient and the most thorough photographer I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. The quality of her photos are outstanding and beyond expectations. She is very flexible and works well with her clients to ensure that they get what they ask for. She is also very personable and makes the photo sessions fun and memorable. There is no one else I would rather go to for professional photographs. My husband and I are incredibly happy with how our wedding photos turned out. HIGHLY recommend!!

    Truly an amazing experience!

    If you looking for an amazing photographer who truly cares about their clients, then stop looking! You've found the one. Just like everything wedding related, you know when you've found the perfect fit. When we first met with Sara it felt like we were meeting with an old friend that we've known all our lives. We left knowing she was going to be our photographer. She made the whole process a breeze! From engagement pictures to helping announce our pregnancy to postponing our wedding then finally our wedding, she has been with us through it all! I love looking back at our photos and reliving every moment. So just take my advice, book her before she fills up. You will not regret it! Thank you so much for everything Sara!

    Very Friendly and Professional

    Being a couple who enjoys photography, my wife and I were very picky on who we chose to capture our wedding in Red Lodge, MT.

    Sara checked all the boxes we were looking for! High quality pictures, the detail photos down to the smallest detail, and the ability to tell a story. Based on her work, we immediately knew who we wanted to work with.

    Luckily for us she chose to take us on as clients. When we first met Sara for our engagement photos, it was like we’ve known her for our entire lives.

    Thanks Sara for capturing our special day down to the finest detail. The story you told with your work was by far the best I’ve ever seen.

    As long as you’re doing photography, you will have us as your clients.

    Sincerely,

    The Riedesels

    Couldn't Ask for a Better Wedding Photographer

    We are officially life long customers. My husband hates taking pictures, but he had the best time taking them with Sara for our engagement and wedding pictures. She was highly professional, while being so sweet and wonderful, and was extremely flexible with all the craziness that came from planning our wedding in the middle of COVID. The cherry on top is that her pictures and video are absolutely amazing.
    Your wedding photographer is one of the most important expenses of your wedding, and you can't do better than Sara!

    Wonderful Photographer and person

    I knew before I got engaged that I wanted Sara to do my engagement and wedding photos, based off the work I had seen. She was very responsive in setting up a meeting to discuss booking and even accommodated our wedding date change after I couldn't find a venue. She survived not only negative degree temperatures and snow for our engagement session, but a down pour of rain on our wedding day and ventured out in the rain after our ceremony so we could get the one photo I really wanted. She did this all with a smile on her face and making my husband and bridal party laugh. She was thrilled that we included our fur baby in our engagement session, especially when our dog didn't cooperate for posed pictures. Sara managed to capture the energy of our dog while still professionally capturing my husband and I. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone!

    Sara and her team are incredible! I seriously cannot recommend them enough!

    Everything about them is fabulous, perfect, detailed, thorough. They made my wedding day so special! Sara and her team go above and beyond in every area of their business, they are phenomenal! I could go on forever about how incredible my experience was. Sara was so accommodating and understanding as I was planning my wedding during Covid last year so everything was up in the air. Sara communicates wonderfully and quickly and was an absolute dream to work with! The wedding day she had everything planned out and so it ran so smoothly. I had her husband do our wedding video and oh my gosh is it beautiful. They took such special and unique photos/video clips, I am thrilled that I hired Sara and am forever grateful for their breathtaking work! 10/10 recommend!!!

    5 stars doesn't begin to explain how amazing Sara and her team is! She is so much more than just a photographer! Aside from getting some of the best pictures I've ever seen, she keeps the day fun and efficient! She kept my whole wedding day organized and it didn't feel like I spent the entire time taking pictures and she treats you like family. I will continue to use Sara for any photography that my family and I will need in the future!

    Our Forever Photographer

    If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, Sara Nagel is your gal. Not only does she take amazing pictures, she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful, especially in the middle of a pandemic. Throughout the entire process, Sara was extremely patient, understanding, and supportive. I am extremely organized and I appreciate how organized Sara is as well. Not only are you hiring a wedding photographer, but you are also hiring a part-time wedding planner. Also, my husband is not extremely comfortable in front of people, especially posing and such, but Sara is so easy to be around and made him feel very comfortable. Ultimately, if you’re looking for someone to capture your big day, I highly recommend Sara Nagel Photography.

    She is simply the best!

    Sara is simply AMAZING! Choosing someone to capture some of the most important and special moments is so crucial and I can say choosing Sara was the best choice we made! Sara is the sweetest gal who is timely and truly cares about your day! We had the craziness of COVID in the middle of our wedding and planning and Sara was the one thing I did not have to stress about! Sara has some sort of magic to get even the toughest of clients to smile and get good pictures! (My husband hates photos). Sara is the kind of photographer that you keep returning to and you become friends with! She is seriously so talented! Sara puts her whole heart into her work and it shows! She felt like having another family member at our wedding and we loved every second of it! Choose Sara! You will NOT be disappointed!
    Thank you thank you Sara! We loved getting to know you and the pictures you gave us were more than I could have imagined! Thank you for wearing down Aaron to get those shots I will always love! 😊💕

    Quality, Fun, Professional

    We came across Sara last minute as we were trying to continue our original wedding date as an elopement after postponing our out of state wedding due to COVID. She was so easy to work with, flexible, and provided us with amazing service at the last minute. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and so much more than we could have hoped for in general, let alone with everything that was happening. If our postponed big celebration was going to be in Montana, we would undoubtedly use her again, and will be using her for future family photo needs.

    Amazing! The best!

    It's hard to put into words the experience we had with Sara for our Austin wedding because it was simply perfect. She is so kind, entertaining, and moves quickly to get pictures accomplished while having fun - it was as if she was a part of our party!!! I described to her what I was looking for and she nailed it. I honestly can tell you that you will NOT regret this decision and photos/video are such a important part of your forever keepsake! Would recommend her to anyone!
