    Great and memorable photos!

    We got married at the end of October and went with Sarah at Urban Anchor as our photographer. This included engagement photos earlier in the year, and then photos on the wedding day. Sarah was extremely professional, and we felt like she knew exactly what she was doing and how to set up some amazing shots. As we were looking through her photos, we felt like she did such a great job making everyone look great and capturing some fun moments, and looking through the wedding through her lens made us feel like we were reliving all the best parts of the day! We are both super happy with how everything turned out, and we are SO thankful to Sarah for doing such a good job capturing our wedding day!

    I had a great experience working with Sarah! She listened to what we wanted and captured the thinks that were important to us! I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

    I am so glad we chose Urban Anchor for our photography. Sarah was great to work with. She responded super quickly to emails and was willing to give advice on random things that mattered to my “bride brain.”

    She made our engagement session fun and it almost felt like a “date night” that was photographed (which is perfect for 2 people who have never had professional photos taken and were a bit nervous).

    As for the wedding photos - I am thrilled! The weather was awful and my husband was especially disappointed we couldn’t get the outdoor photos, but when we got the images back he completely forgot about it because we loved the photos so much. She found unique spots to get creative portraits in our venue, which we will cherish forever.

    Sarah captured every single moment of our day (some I didn’t even realized had happened) and it was amazing to relive them those moments through the photos. She impressed my mom (not an easy task) and my friends. And the photo turnaround time was incredible. Most importantly, I feel like the photos are so “us” - I couldn’t be happier!

    Sarah and Todd were incredibly flexible and willing to work with us remotely since we were planning our wedding from out-of-state. We were upfront about what we wanted and didn't want, which ensured that we were on the same page from the start. From our first FaceTime session with them, we had the feeling that they shared our vision for our wedding photographs. A week or two before our wedding, we sent them a list of photographs we desired, and they worked with us to recommend an agenda so that we would be able to get all of the pictures in the time we had allotted. The day of the wedding, it was clear that they had actually read through our list and had a plan in their heads. They executed their plan flawlessly. We got through the photos we had on our list in way less time than we had planned for, which allowed us to get additional photographs. They photographed for 8 hours total.

    We got our photos 2-3 weeks after our wedding, and we were so happy with them! Sarah and Todd captured so many candid moments of us and our guests that we would have missed or forgotten otherwise. Urban Anchor Photography is amazing!

    We are so glad we hired Sarah and Todd to do our wedding photography! They were so easy to work with--responsive, personable, and professional--and their photo style really captures the feeling of the event. Sarah took our engagement photos and they turned out so beautifully, we couldn't wait to see the photos from the actual wedding. The photos we got back exceeded our expectations and we are having a hard time deciding which ones to print, they are all so wonderful! We would highly recommend working Urban Anchor!

    We recently worked with Sarah and Todd of Urban Anchor Photography for our engagement and wedding photos and couldn't be happier! We had done lots of research on photographers, but instantly felt at ease with Sarah and Todd after our initial FaceTime call. It was great to see them in person and they answered every question we had. We knew right away we had to book these two fast! Our engagement session was wonderful, Sarah traveled to Chicago and took some really amazing shots! We were nervous at first since we've never had a photo shoot, but Sarah made us feel comfortable and kept us laughing all day!

    On our wedding day they both made us feel very comfortable all day, even our bridal party was impressed with how great they were! They really make you feel like you've been friends for years!

    Not only were they an absolutely pleasure to work with, our pictures turned out fantastic! The colors are awesome, the shots are artsy, not posed. We received several compliments on our photos from our friends and family. If you are debating between photographers like we were, look no further, you would be in great hands with Sarah and Todd!! We'd give them 10 stars if we could!

    Sarah and Todd were incredible to work with and captured our day perfectly! We have so many pictures, both candid and posed, it has been pretty difficult deciding which ones we want to print and frame. They welcome your ideas and have plenty of their own for great shots in case you're not sure what you want. We're so happy we got to work with such a fun, talented pair!

    Sarah was great to work with before, during and after the wedding! She captured all of our special moments perfectly and even a few that were unplanned. We love looking back at our pictures and reliving our day. Thanks Sarah!

    All you need in a photographer

    4 years ago, My wife and I hired Urban Anchor Photography for our wedding. We were just amazed by their work and process to make things flow smoothly during our day. Looking at our photos now still brings back exciting memories to that day. I am so glad that we chose Urban Anchor Photography, and I would recommend them to anyone for any photo needs.

    Other than choosing who to marry, choosing Urban Anchor Photography was the best wedding decision I made. Sarah was super professional, patient, and prompt. In addition to that, our photos turned out AMAZING!

    Sarah was great to work with for my wedding reception. I wanted clean, candid photos and that's exactly what she delivered. She was easy-going and made us feel comfortable on the other side of the lens. I would most certainly recommend Sarah and Urban Anchor photography to capture your special day.

    Yes, everyone has a smartphone camera, but nothing beats the quality and artistry of a true photographer, and Sarah was the best. True to her promise she captured "us". And our friends and family in many natural and artistically beautiful set-ups were fun and emotional. Appreciated her pre-wedding walk-through of our site so that on the day it was already scripted and easy. In the end, she edited and gave us a web portal where our friends and family could order prints, and we got the entire collection on a memory stick too in a sweet little gift box with her personal note. Highly recommend Urban Anchor!

    I am so happy we went with Urban Anchor Photography! We did the full day package with both Todd and Sarah, which is a little pricey, but I think well worth it. It was so nice to have them around all day to capture the full experience. Our pictures are beautiful. I do wish we'd gotten a bit more guidance on how to pose for the engagement photos because I feel like I'm making a weird face in a lot of them, but it was also FRIGID that day, so it probably couldn't be helped!

    Todd and Sarah of Urban Anchor Photography were truly the easiest of all of the wedding vendors that we worked with for our Fourth of July wedding. They were extremely flexible in working for us on a major holiday and traveling an hour and a half to where we were married. They were professional yet kept the process fun and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for better wedding photographers. The quantity of photos were more than plentiful and the quality was top notch. The whole package was affordable and comparable to competitors and well worth the lifelong memories!

    I hired Sarah & Todd for our upcoming wedding this summer, and they have been nothing but great to work with! Sarah shot our engagement photos and they turned out absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt our wedding photos will turn out just as perfect.

    I wish I could give Todd and Sarah more than a 5 star review. They are AMAZING! With so many options now a days for a photographer, you may find it difficult to choose. If Urban Anchor Photography are available on your wedding day...book them...hands down! Booking a photographer was more important than even our wedding venue itself. For us to stand behind Todd and Sarah as much as we do really means a lot.
    My husband and I can not say enough good things about them. They were so easy to work with from the time we showed interest in hiring them, to our engagement photos, and everything leading up to our wedding day. Sarah always got back to us right away with any questions we had and we received all our wedding photos (over 1000!) in a timely manner!
    Todd and Sarah blended in more like guests at our wedding than a hired vendor. No one was distracted by someone "taking pictures" and taking away from what was really going on. We received so many compliments on their professionalism and friendliness. I had many people, on many occasions, tell me they have the best work they have ever seen.
    Todd and Sarah are amazing photographers and even more amazing people. They really listen to what YOU want and give you those memories that last forever.
    Thank you Todd and Sarah for making our day unforgettable!

    Todd and Sarah at Urban Anchor were AMAZING!!!! They were a perfect match for us! Their creativity, professionalism, and modern style were exactly what we're looking for! The photos were a great representation of our day and will provide us with a lifetime of memories! We plan to keep them as our "photographers for life," and have them photograph our babies and family as it grows :)

    Sarah & Todd are excellent photographers! Not only are we beyond happy with our photos, the experience with our photographers from start to finish was exceptional. They are the perfect mix of professionals meeting all their clients needs while, at the same time, feeling like they are part of your group of friends as they spend the whole wedding day with you. Sarah & Todd are personable, talented, and reliable photographers that I would hire again for any occassion!

    We had Urban Anchor as our wedding photographers and loved working with them. The photos were beautiful and really captured the day. Todd and Sarah made the whole planning process easier and were fun and flexible along the way. We highly recommend Urban Anchor to anyone needing a photographer! :)

    We absolutely loved working with Sarah and Todd from Urban Anchor Photography. We had seen their work online and really liked their style, but that was just the beginning of an incredible experience.

    We met with Sarah and Todd before the wedding to talk about details, and they immediately put us at ease. It was clear from the very beginning that they knew what they were doing, and their friendly but confident demeanor made us feel very comfortable.

    We weren't sure what to expect on wedding day - both my husband and I were nervous that we would feel awkward with two photographers following us around all day - but that wasn't the case at all. Sarah and Todd struck the perfect balance of being present while not being imposing. We often forgot they were even there as we got lost in moments of just being 'us.'

    When it came time to do the 'organized' shots with family, the wedding party, etc, they were completely in control without being demanding. They were incredibly efficient, like a well-oiled machine, and we were able to get through the photos quickly, while still having a lot of fun. They has us laughing all day and it was really fun to watch them get creative and interact with everyone involved. Everyone really loved both Sarah and Todd; we have had several people from the wedding party comment about how incredible they were to work with, and how at ease they made each of us feel.

    If all of that wasn't enough, the photos are beyond perfect! They did an indescribably amazing job at capturing our personalities, the unique aspects of our wedding, and our love.

    We loved everything about our experience with Urban Anchor Photography!

    This duo is PHENOMENAL! We wanted to find photographers who would capture our whole day (family, friends, laughs, eats), in addition to the more traditional "posed" shots. They fell right into step with our families' quirkiness, and were able to keep pace with our friends' shenanigans. Cannot wait to come back to them in the years to come to help document other big events in our life. Endless gratitude, Sarah & Todd.

    Sarah and her husband were very professional. They were very flexible and easy to work with. We loved their photos because it was very modern and it was something we were looking for. We really enjoyed working with them especially during our wedding day and the photos they took tells the whole story of our Big day.
