Sarah was the most lovely, wonderful vendor we had the pleasure of working with! I absolutely LOVED her. Not only did she seamlessly fit into our day, she made us feel so comfortable - it felt like an old friend. On top of that, Chloe (our second shooter) was incredible. 10/10 experience. We loved our pictures and she delivered them soon after the wedding. I wanted very classic, not too bright - timeless and she delivered. Something I loved about Sarah - is she cares so much about your wedding / pictures / vision. It did not feel transactional at all. I couldn’t recommend her and her team more!!
There are not enough words to express how happy we are that we chose Sarah to capture our wedding day. From the first phone call we had, Sarah was kind and gracious, she listened to us, and she got to know us as a couple. Fast forward to our engagement photo shoot, we realized she was more than just a photographer - she became our friend. She made us comfortable in front of the camera, laughed with us, and helped us not take ourselves too seriously. Leading up to the wedding, she checked in to make sure that she was capturing exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. And let me tell you, she exceeded our expectations ten fold. Sarah doesn't just take photos, she captures moments and emotions. It is a privilege to be able to relive our day through her images. If you are searching for a photographer for your wedding day, or another special life event, please stop looking and schedule a call with Sarah. You will not be disappointed.
As soon as we met with Sarah we knew we had someone special. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease. You spend the most time in your day with your photographer so to feel so comfy right from the beginning was amazing. I cannot say enough amazing things about APG. Not only did Sarah and Genava (Gen) capture our day perfectly but the photos go beyond capturing one single moment, I felt they told a story, not only of the day but also one of our love story and of our families and loved ones. No matter how many times I look through the photos I am brought right back to our day and I will treasure the moments captured forever! More than that the editing is unreal, no washed out filtered feel to the photos or hyper pigmented fake feeling they are just absolutely incredibly stunning! Sarah and her team are a must hire for your wedding!!
From the moment we met Sarah and Sabina, we knew they were who we wanted to capture our wedding weekend. Sabina was personable, creative, and detail-oriented, and Sarah's editing is incomparable. Hiring AGP was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding planning and we would recommend them in a hearbeat!
From the moment we began looking for a wedding photographer, we knew we wanted someone who would not only capture beautiful moments but also make us feel comfortable and at ease. Sarah of AGP Collective exceeded all our expectations and more – truly a dream to work with!
We did our engagement shoot with her which was absolutely so much fun and they came out amazing! Even my husband was excited to take pictures on the wedding day because he had a blast during the engagement shoot! From our very first phone call, she took the time to understand our vision and style; and made sure she captured every moment exactly how we hoped. Throughout the wedding day, she was a calming presence, blending into the background while still capturing every meaningful shot. She knew exactly when to direct us and when to let the magic unfold naturally, ensuring that nothing was missed.
The photos themselves are absolutely stunning! Every shot is filled with emotion, beauty, and authenticity. From the candid moments to the stunning portraits, every image tells the story of our special day perfectly. We were blown away by Sarah’s attention to authentic detail and how she captured the real and raw emotion of the day just how we wanted.
What stood out most was Sarah's warm, friendly, and easy-going nature. She was so much more than just a photographer – she felt like part of the family, and she made the entire process so enjoyable. Our families’ also absolutely loved her, and they felt so comfortable with her and said they felt like they made a friend. We were able to completely relax, knowing we were in such capable hands.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely wonderful to work with, we cannot recommend Sarah & AGP collective enough! Our wedding photos are beyond our wildest dreams, and we will treasure them forever. Thank you so much for being part of our special day and capturing it so beautifully!
**Editing becasue we got our wedding photos and they are so insanely perfect. If I could add one million more stars, I would!**
Sarah is both incredibly talented and incredibly wonderful to work with! We used AGP for both engagement and wedding photos, and while I haven't seen our wedding photos yet, my husband and I have been obsessed with how our engagement photos turned out. Sarah managed all of our questions, communication, stress with a kindness that I VERY much appreciated as an anxious bride, and I would *HIGHLY* recommend her and her company to any other folks looking to book their wedding photography.
Sarah is a one-of-a-kind photographer. She knows how to capture the feelings and emotions throughout the time we had with her. Sarah made sure we didn’t get photo fatigue. We’ve been to weddings where couples stand in place and different family members switch in and out with the couples’ eyes glazing over and losing their expression and energy. Sarah made sure that wasn’t the case and went with the flow and atmosphere of the venue. She got to know us as a couple and understood what we were looking for and executed that perfectly in her beautiful and creative way.
Sarah is an incredibly talented photographer who was able to capture all of the special moments during our wedding day. We are so happy with our wedding photos and so glad we were able to have her as our photographer despite the multiple changes we had to make due to COVID-19. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and the detailed nature of her planning process (including lists of “must have” shots and inspiration photos) made the day run smoothly and ensured we had the chance to have all of our dream wedding photos.
Sarah and her second shooter Sabina were absolutely outstanding. When my husband and I were booking vendors, we knew we needed to work with people who were not only great at their jobs, but also calm and positive. Our vendor guided us in choosing Sarah and they could not have been more right. Some of our favorite parts of the day were hanging and getting shots with these ladies. And I haven't even mentioned how beautiful the photos are! Truly stunning. They captured our day and added a lot to it too.
Sarah and her work is truly amazing. Bottom line, it’s an honor for her to capture your wedding- and we are so thankful that we got to work with her. She just gets it!!! Firstly, as a person Sarah is just wonderful to be around- she’s so fun, spunky, sweet, caring, and real. We loved being around her and felt so at ease because we were so confident she would capture everything perfectly as we enjoyed our magical wedding weekend- and she did. She captures the emotion, details, and all moments in the most talented & beautiful way. She has a creative eye that will surprise and delight you when you see what she is able to capture! From the amazing candids to the heartfelt portraits, her photos are truly special. She’s super easy to work with and collaborative, making you feel comfortable with the camera, and really cares that you’re happy with your photos. Looking through photos we can’t stop beaming and it’s easy to relive the day through them. Sabina also helped support and co-shoot for the Wedding and she was wonderful as well and took beautiful photos. Anyone Sarah trusts to work with, you know they’ll be great.
We love Sarah so much, she truly feels part of the family- we miss her!! We cannot recommend her enough! We are so happy with our photos- our colorful and fun nyc engagement shoot to a 3 day wedding weekend (church, gondola ride rehearsal dinner, and outdoor mountain wedding), and the experience along the way. Thank you Sarah - you are a true gem!!!
There will never be enough space for me to talk about all the things I love about Sarah! I could not have asked for a better photographer or friend to capture our special wedding moments. We clicked during our first call together, she instantly made me feel comfortable and even more excited about the wedding. She is devoted to her art and passionate about her clients - and it shows in her photos. She is adaptable to change, be it shifting weather on your wedding day or navigating postponements during the pandemic.
Our wedding day was a long time coming and she exuded the same calm and excited nature that I loved about her during our first call. If you are looking for someone who cares about a bride, look no further than Sarah! She treated everyone with such kindness but always made sure my wants and needs were met. She knew what was important to me and did everything in her power to accommodate that. When the weather started to turn during our photo session, she adjusted the shoot schedule to be able to capture the most we could before the flash storm. When the venue was giving us a first look at the reception space, she could sense me and my husband's feelings and empowered us to speak up to make one final adjustment. She cares so deeply about the happiness of her couples, something I truly value.
I can't write this without giving praise to Eliza, her second shooter, and Sean, her husband who managed the photo booth. Her entire team is so talented and kind, they made everything so easy!
Since the wedding and after getting our photos, there has been no shortage of compliments for Sarah and her team. I have never heard "I'm obsessed with her," said more than I did from my bridesmaids about Sarah. My dad, who has very few opinions about photo style, said he loves how Sarah's photos capture the feeling of the day. That summed it up best for me around her photo style - you really feel the love, the emotions and the laughter in her photos. I look at her pictures and I'm instantly transported back to that day and that feeling. What makes it all the more better is knowing a fantastic team was behind it with AGP Collective.
Evan and I are feeling emotional as we sit down to write this review for Sarah because she captured our wedding in the most amazing way. Everyone always says that who you hire for a photographer is one of the most important decisions you make on your wedding day and we truly could not be more grateful for the care and consideration Sarah took shooting our intimate 50 person wedding. Her composition, staging and ease behind the camera not only came through in her photography but most importantly while we were shooting with her. A BIG THANK YOU to Sarah and the AGP Collective, we could not recommend Sarah more highly.
AGP Collective is the best of the best!! Sarah and Eliza are incredibly talented and we could not be more thrilled with the photos from our wedding. When I first saw Sarah's work on AGP's website, I knew instantly that we needed to book her. Besides Sarah's sheer skill and talent as a photographer, she is a true gem of a person and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I was actually sad after the wedding and knowing that I'd have less contact with her, ha ha. Sarah and Eliza are professional, accommodating, and just wonderful to work with, not to mention the exceptional outcome of their work. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine, they are just exquisite. Our friends and family cannot keep commenting on our sneak peeks and how beautiful and full of life they are. You will not be disappointed if you book AGP, and my husband and I would work with them over and over and over again!! We also booked the Photo booth and it was so seamless and a great addition to the reception! You are in the best hands with AGP!
Booking AGP was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. I thought I appreciated our photos after Sarah delivered them a few weeks after our wedding - they were so tasteful, heartfelt, and warm…exactly what I had hoped our photos would be. Little did I know that almost two years after my wedding my father would unexpectedly pass away and I would cherish those candid, behind the scenes, pure love and joy moments that Sarah and Eliza captured more than I could ever imagine. They are now a time capsule of one of my favorite days with my dad and I can’t thank Sarah and Eliza enough for giving me, my husband, and the rest of my family that priceless gift. Without a doubt, booking AGP is a decision you will never regret.
The best decision we ever made was hiring AGP for our wedding this September. Eliza was an absolute delight the entire time! She made us feel so special. She kept us on track throughout the day, helped us with posing and made sure we got every picture we wanted! My husband and I were kind of up in the air about a first look spot and without asking her she went out of her way and found the most beautiful first look spot for us! It was freaking perfection! Our wedding was postponed because of covid but AGP and Eliza were there for us with all the changes and postponements. Eliza showed us a few pictures throughout the day and I was blown away! She made the day so special for us. Truly cannot recommend her enough! She was FANTASTIC! 100/100 💓💓💓💓
Sarah at AGP is phenomenal. I'm a wedding planner and I can tell you her attention to photographic detail paired with her calm and cool demeanor on your day is a win-win mixture. She will be forever recommended to my clients and I can't wait to work with her again!
Sarah is the absolute best. We took our engagement photos with her in 2019 and she worked with us through (3!) wedding postponements. She made me feel so comfortable and like I had a friend by my side on our wedding day. She and Eliza are both so amazing, friendly, and professional. Could not recommend them more. Every single time I look at our wedding photos I cry! So many special memories were captured and I’m so grateful for having them! We love them! Would recommend 10/10.
If you've reached this review and still haven't reach out to Sarah, what are you waiting for?! From day one we felt a connection with Sarah just in the few minutes we spoke with her on the phone. She asked all the right questions and understood exactly what we were looking for. 2.5 or so years later, we finally got to meet in person on our wedding day and it was like we had known each other for years. She fit into the day as if she was part of our family...capturing every moment perfectly and without ever feeling 'in the way' as sometimes a photographer can feel. I honestly didn't even realize she was standing in front of me as I walked down the aisle until seeing the photos later. The entire day was effortless and smooth; Sarah knew exactly how to get the best shots and how to maneuver the complexities of giant family/friend groups. Overall she is just a joy of a human who made our day even more special. The photos themselves are also just perfect. They feel incredibly natural and looking through them we can see ourselves in a way we never have before. All the silly dance moves, and laughter during speeches...every tiny moment made it into a shot. We couldn't have made a better decision hiring Sarah for our wedding.
I truly cannot rave highly enough about Sarah's talent, generosity, and genuine kindness as both a photographer and human being. There is a lot of noise in the wedding industry, particularly in the photography sector, and Sarah is the absolute real deal. Calm, collected, personable, and a true professional. She generously moved our contract to a new date when we had to change venues, and offered to come in the night before since we had an early start. My husband and my mother both hate being on camera and were dreading having photos taken all day, and she made everyone feel so comfortable from the moment she arrived. She was prepared, understood what was important to us, and balanced the day perfectly between her artistic vision and candid captures. She even got my husband smiling in multiple shots?! When she sent us the gallery recently, I broke down at how beautifully and accurately she had captured every single feeling and detail of the day. We ended up having a micro wedding due to the pandemic and many of our close family and friends couldn't be there in person, so to be able to share these memories with them — I'm at a loss for words to express my gratitude for Sarah's work. Just book her while you still can!
My husband and I booked Sarah for our wedding in May 2020 (you know where this is going...) and she was incredibly supportive and willing to work with us as our COVID wedding plans kept shifting. We finally settled on a very small gathering of family and friends in my parent's backyard in August 2020. I am not positive how Sarah did it but she captured the magic in the air that would otherwise seem intangible.
She's a thoughtful, kind, understanding person that just happens to be an incredible photographer who will provide you with memories that will last you and your loved ones a lifetime.
Sarah was simply amazing - after we postponed our original August wedding (and our original photographer just stopped responding to me...) I called AGP to see if they were available for our family-only wedding ceremony on 10/23/2020. Sarah was super responsive to all of my questions, she was thoughtful in helping to narrow down a timeline for our day, and she was communicative throughout the whole process - even after the wedding to let us know when our photos would be finished with editing. I can't stress enough what an incredible difference it makes to feel supported and "taken care of" by your vendors! Planning a wedding during covid was stressful enough and it was such huge relief to have Sarah and her professionalism both during the planning process and day-of.
Even though we had only 12 guests, Sarah was great at wrangling our families, especially our nieces and nephew. She captured so many wonderful moments from the day (the candids turned out to be our favorite!), and everyone has raved at how amazing our photos were - we really will cherish them for years to come. I could go on and on with glowing praises for Sarah / AGP, we were so happy she was a part of our day and highly recommend her!!
We had Eliza shoot our wedding on 10/17/2020, and we truly could not have asked for a better photographer!! She captured our day PERFECTLY - the photos really make it look like the fairytale we felt it was. Eliza is professional, creative, honest, and extremely talented. We got married at family-owned property, and Eliza quickly found the most gorgeous backdrops for all of our formal photos. She kept us on schedule, gave us advice throughout the day, and captured very special moments as well as the beauty of the property that we will be forever grateful for. She had the perfect balance of giving great recommendations when they were needed but also simply capturing the day as it happened without interruption. I could go on and on about how amazing Eliza was and how thankful we were for her. Having a wedding during COVID brings a lot of uncertainty, but having Eliza as your photographer will guarantee that you'll have the absolute best photos to portray your special day. You can take comfort in knowing that she is capturing everything you want her to- all you have to worry about it enjoying the day, as it should be! Thank you Eliza and AGPcollective for the INCREDIBLE work you do!!!
SARAH IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!
Getting married during COVID was extremely stressful and Sarah went out of her way to be supportive and a true partner through the challenges we faced in planning our COVID wedding.
She is an incredibly talented photographer and I loved that she was willing to work to our vision. We had a specific style in mind for our photos and Sarah was excited about helping make our vision come to life. I never once felt like she was pushing her own needs or building a portfolio which some photographers do. She always made me feel like her number one goal was to support and help bring to life our vision for our wedding day and photos. It was like having a very close friend who is also an artist level photographer shoot your wedding. Truly the dream.
Sarah was a calm, soothing, and supportive presence throughout the mayhem of our COVID wedding and she made our day so special. To top it all off we have the most STUNNING photos that make me smile and feel like I am reliving the day every time I look at them.
I am so grateful for Sarah and loved every minute of working with her.
There is not enough space on here to express how amazing Sarah is. In the midst of COVID, having to postpone (twice!) and then almost cancel - she was a breath of fresh air - even as a friend on a phone call to talk to in such a questionable time. We finally got to have our wedding, very small from the 275 we planned - but it was ABSOLUTELY amazing. Better than we could have hoped it would be. We just got our pictures back and needless to say our house is going to be wall to wall wedding photos because we just simply cannot chose our favorites. they are all so amazing. The professionalism, the artistry and just all around vibe is exactly what we needed and wanted for our wedding. I could not recommend AGPcollective more.
AGP Collective is the ultimate. Look no further — COVID, or not. Specifically, Sarah is in a class all her own as a photographer. She was, hands-down, the best vendor we worked with in the COVID-era, as well. She reached-out proactively and worked with us through uncertainty, date adjustments, and venue changes. Through it all, Sarah treated us with humanity, compassion, and understanding. She is also adept at navigating complex family dynamics! Sarah is the utmost professional, a caring spirit, and positive energy in all the chaos of this year. I cannot recommend her more highly.
Of all the vendors we had lined up in the year before our wedding, Sarah was truly the only one to see us through the trials of COVID delays and replanning. This included working with us the reschedule, twice, and ultimately moving our wedding to another state over 7 hours from her. She didn't hesitate to make the trek to our backyard family wedding. She was patient, understanding, and beyond helpful in the complete chaos. I wish all couples right now the best of luck in their planning. Weddings are overwhelming at the best of times and Sarah was the only one (aside from family and close friends!) that stood by us. PS - She's actually a great photographer too.
My experience with AGPcollective and Sarah was nothing short of amazing. Her style, personality, and overall presence on our big day was a lovely addition and calming vibe. My circumstances were quite unusual as my wedding was originally scheduled for 4/18/2020 (right in the middle of covid). When I received notice from my venue that we had to postpone or cancel I was devastated. As we navigated the next steps of deciding what would be best for us, Sarah was very supportive. She listened to all of my concerns and provided solutions and options for everything, all while assuring me that if we had to cancel she would refund the money to us. Instead of cancelling we ended up just regrouping and proceeding. When the original wedding date (4/18) came I went outside that morning and there were flowers and a lovely note on my door step from Sarah. I thought this was an extremely thoughtful gesture and above and beyond the call of duty for a photographer! On the day of my wedding, Sarah showed up to my hotel and helped to write my vows down (I was frantically doing my own hair and makeup and running late), she offered to be a driver for me and my bridesmaids, and really almost acted like my wedding planner to help make sure the day was executed perfectly. Under the unusual circumstances that we were all navigating for the first time Sarah was more than gracious and fair. While the quality of photos, work, and attention to details are important factors when selecting a photographer, the type of person that you are working with is more important. Sarah is down to earth and genuinely cares about her clients. This flows over into her work and the overall experience you will have with her. I truly and honestly can not say enough wonderful things about her and I am so thankful she was a part of my day and the experience!
Sarah and Eliza are...the best. As someone who doesn’t love photos of themselves they blew me away. They captured my spirit and my pure joy and made me feel beautiful inside and out. I can’t stop looking at our photos. I didn’t know what to expect- but thought maybe we would find two or three beautiful shots to hang in our home. Sarah provided us with HUNDREDS. I honestly cannot narrow down the photos. She captured every moment we could have hoped for and those we never thought of. She is kind, she is caring, she is professional. She made me feel comfortable. I wish I could give her 10000 stars. She went above and beyond, and even opened her schedule to accommodate our date when we were in a bind and needed a photographer. She will be a part of our lives for as long as she will allow us! We are forever thankful to AGP!
Sarah is an extraordinary photographer and human. Excellent wedding photographs were a priority for us and Sarah and her team at AGP did not disappoint. Our indian/western wedding took place at three venues over three days and Sarah so perfectly captured the unique feel and energy of each day.
All of Sarah's photos are beautiful, but it was her more candid shots that first attracted us to her work and are the wedding photos we most cherish. Sarah has an amazing ability to capture the small moments and emotions that make weddings so special. Every time I look at her photos I'm transported back to our wedding weekend and a large smile inevitable comes across my face.
Sarah is a true talent, easy to work with, and worth every penny. By the end of the weekend you'll want to call her a friend. And when you're pictures come back, you'll want to recruit her to shoot every new milestone in your life.
Sarah was by far my favorite person to work with throughout the wedding process (except my wife, of course). We worked with her for an engagement shoot as well as our wedding, and she completely delivered everything we were hoping for and more. The photographs that Sarah takes were not only beautiful in their own right, I feel like they really captured who we were as people, the mood of our wedding, and all of our guests. Sarah's experience and attention to detail make her worth every penny.
Sarah is incredibly warm, creative, and talented. She truly is enthused about shooting on your wedding day, and it shows. My husband and I would not have anyone else photograph our wedding, so we were sure to book her way in advance to make it happen. As someone who loves photography, but bristles at being photographed, I was worried about being in front of the camera. Sarah and Eliza got it done—attentive planning, fun time shooting, timely turnaround, and beautiful photos. I guess the word I’m looking for is “perfect!” I would recomendable AGP Collective to anyone.
Sarah is amazing at capturing personalities in photos- I’m not quite sure how she does it. I hate getting my picture taken and since my wife handled all the bookings I didn’t meet her until the day of our wedding. She was so easy to be around and didn’t make photos awkward or weird which of course it can be since no normal person is used to that. The relaxed vibe shows in her work. I still use a solo photo she took of me as a headshot for work...I’ve had some taken since but none come anywhere close to conveying my personality as her work does. Others seem to notice too, as I often get asked who I used for my headshot!
I knew I wanted to work with Sarah before I even had a venue or date! Speaking of venue, she's the sole reason we even found our dream venue and we booked her immediately after!! Sarah was so sweet, patient, knowledgeable, and on top of her game. With all the stresses of wedding planning, she completely put my husband and I at ease throughout the planning process and on the day-of. And the finished product was better than I could have dreamt. I highly recommend Sarah and the APG Collective team.
Sarah and her team are amazing!!!! As the mother of the groom, I was so taken back by their attention to detail. They were inconspicuously EVERYWHERE...
The Photographic result was beyond fabulous!!! Highly recommend AGP.
The first thing I did after I booked our venue was book Sarah from AGPcollective. It was SO important for me to have her as our photographer because I knew I didn't want to have to stress about pictures on our wedding day. I couldn't be more thrilled to have such beautiful pictures to remember one of the happiest days of my life. She is sweet, punctual, mindful of every detail, and helps even the most awkward take the most natural-looking pictures. :) We are forever grateful we chose AGPcollective. It should also be said that it was over 100 degrees on our wedding day and Sarah hired her assistant photographer last minute to help, and they both somehow stayed sane and focused while everyone was dying of heat. She is truly there for her art, and it shows in her work. Choose AGPcollective if you want meaningful photos and a pleasant experience on your wedding day! We love you, Sarah! (and Eliza!)
I've started this review a few times now (over the past two years - sorry Sarah!), but I can't seem to manage to put into words how great Sarah and Eliza were. I don't know how you can do justice to someone who managed to make you feel 1000% comfortable on the biggest day of your life (after only meeting them once), all while taking incredible intimate and thoughtful photos.
My husband and I booked Sarah before we even met her, just based on other wedding photos I had seen of hers (that's how incredibly talented she is). We only met her two days before our wedding which to most (myself included) was daunting and nerve-wracking. We were trusting someone we really didn't know to do something incredibly important for us on our wedding day.
The meeting was great - Sarah was able to make us feel totally comfortable (something she proceeded to do for the entire time we were with her) and we felt like she truly knew what we wanted. She also had us fill out a pretty thoughtful questionnaire prior to the wedding, which was very helpful.
We also had a unique problem to deal with - on our wedding day, Philly was hosting an open streets festival, and most roads around our hotel and venue would be closed, swarming with people. We set Sarah to the task of finding where we could take photos - somewhere beautiful but not crazy crowded and within walking distance of our hotel. As is her MO, Sarah knocked it out of the park.
Our pictures, including getting ready, first look, ceremony, and reception, are thoughtful, intimate, beautiful and I haven't been able to stop looking at them over the almost two year span I've had them. Hire Sarah. Seriously. Right now.
When I remember my wedding, I visualize the moments through Sarah's photographs. She is truly an exceptional artist. Her creative intuition is unparalleled - when we arrived at our venue, she immediately had a sense of where the lighting and background would most perfectly capture our memories. She made my husband and I feel at ease with her confidence and relaxed demeanor. We could feel that we were in expert hands, which allowed us to just be present and enjoy the journey, making our photos natural and joyful. The photographs of the ceremony still move me to tears. She was able to capture not only our own excitement, but the emotion of our family and friends, as well as the beautiful setting that surrounded us. Her eye for detail is incredible. For the reception photographs, I can see the energy and the movement. She took the most amazing photos of us dancing, I can hear the music and feel the twirl of my dress when I look back at them. She caught my father with a natural smile, my grandmother laughing, and my husband kissing his sister's baby sweetly. The colors, the spirit, the emotion - the photographs are such a treasure to us, a gift that celebrates one of the most sacred days of our relationship and an heirloom that we hope to share with our children and grandchildren. Everyone who has seen our photos comments on how amazing they are. I truly cannot speak highly enough of Sarah Alderman. She is an inclusive, professional and creative photographer, someone who will immortalize your memories with love and beauty. We have so much gratitude for the work that she did, and I promise you that she will capture the magic of your moments in a way that no one else can. Thank you, Sarah!
I‘ll admit it - while I am thrilled to be able to spend my life with my wife, a big traditional wedding was the last thing in the world that I wanted. As an admitted introvert, even the attention and imagined stress of a smaller wedding gave me the heebie jeebies. And being at the center of a whole day of portrait photography, gahhh, that was the most stress inducing part of all!!
Enter Sarah of AGP, a calming saint and a gift to her profession. From the moment she arrived the morning of the event, Sarah’s peaceful low-stress vibe and hands off candid shooting approach let us all just do our thing. Even the obligatory posed photos were fun (and made us both look like the glamorous celebrities my wife follows on Instagram)!
The finished photo sneak peak came unexpectedly quickly and the final full album shortly behind it. There were no extra photos for the sake of a large “traditional” album - every picture was thoughtfully selected and artfully composed. Sarah truely is a master of her art, both in execution and in finished product, and I’m so thankful we had her there to make our day so special.
HIRE SARAH IMMEDIATELY FOR EVERYTHING. SARAH FOR PRESIDENT. We met Sarah through our wedding planner and were so grateful that she could squeeze in our "event" a mere one week after her own nuptials! Professional, fun, and above all incredibly talented - Sarah was able to capture details from the evening that I didn't even notice, but also somehow make each picture evoke joyful memories of the night. Who knew that a picture of hamachi crudo would make me cry 2 months after the fact! Aside from her photographic abilities, Sarah has the emotional quotient of a professional therapist; a skill that we should have been charged extra for in the days leading up to our night. She was able to painlessly guide us through the obligatory "wedding portraits" and capture the evening without being intrusive to the point of friends asking if we even had a photographer. My family and my groom fell in love with her - and I don't blame them at all. I did too.
We cannot recommend AGP highly enough and will do so to everyone who asks (and some who don't). Sarah and her team are *extremely* talented photographers and additionally kind, good people who are a joy to interact with. Their work is warm and natural yet artful and crisp, and exactly captured the atmosphere and emotion of all parts of our wedding at the Horticulture Center. Sarah went above and beyond by staying later than was contracted and delivering our photos significantly early than expected, and she was very organized and a very clear communicator. Thank you Sarah!
Sarah is so incredibly talented, warmhearted, and professional. She was with us for both our welcome party on Friday night and our entire wedding day. Thanks to her, we have the most beautiful photos to help us remember the weekend. The pictures feel candid and authentic to us. She managed to capture all of the important people, raw emotions, and decor details without us even noticing that weekend! Seriously, we had no idea pictures were being taken 99% of time. Of course, the other 1% accounts for those necessary portraits which she made as quick and natural as possible!
We booked an entire suite of services through Sarah including photo booth and videographer. Each component has been flawless and so user-friendly. Pictures are accessible through her website where she has them categorized nicely, and you can easily download, share, and select favorites.
Of the countless decisions that went into planning our wedding, choosing to work with AGP Collective was one of the best ones we made!
Sarah was so easy to work with and our wedding photos turned out perfect! We had Jessica as our photographer and she did an amazing job capturing the day, us and our guests. She was super easy going, fun and has a killer eye for getting a great shot or unique backdrop. Our family and friends also commented how much they loved Jess - she basically had to hang out with all of us for 8 hours :) ! The day went so fast and I’m so thankful we have all these amazing, beautiful photos to relive the moments.
Sarah and the AGP team are absolutely fantastic! Sarah and her team were absolutely amazing from start to finish, as they were friendly, funny, efficient, passionate and professional. By the end of the night Sarah and the AGP Team felt like part of our family!
Sarah is absolutely fantastic! Her artistic style is truly one of a kind!

BOOK AGPcollective!! They are simply the best! Easy to work with, reliable, extremely creative, and overall amazing photographers! I highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed!!
Sarah has one of the most incredible, thoughtful, and empathetic visions of any photographer. She doesn't look at something and think "oh, that'll be a great shot". She looks for the moments that mean most, where words just won't do. She even found moments a missed, like my big brothers helping my husband tie his tie, or a conversation between him and his 96 year old grandfather. She gets it, and knows how to cater to a couples style and personality. I couldn't have hoped for a better photographer for our wedding day.
Sarah's aesthetically breathtaking website is what drew my now husband and I in -- but her professionalism, humor, and calming energy is what sold us. From the moment we spoke, I knew we were the lucky ones finding the AGPcollective team. Throughout the wedding planning process, Sarah became somewhat of a confidant to me. Someone to turn to when dealing with difficult vendors, someone to just shoot ideas off of. The universe must have brought us together, especially because we will share the same wedding venue (when she gets married their next month!)!
We booked the package that included engagement photos as well, and boy am I happy we did. The first time we got to work with her (and our dog), it was magic. Sarah made us feel so comfortable and at ease, to the point of us barely noticing her! After we had finished I remember thinking, 'Wow that went so quick, I hope we got enough shots.' When we got them back a few weeks later, let me be the first to say I was wrong! They were the most unique and beautiful photos I had ever seen..and that's saying something, considering I HATE getting my picture taken. Too many to choose from!
When the wedding weekend rolled around it was business as usual with her team. We already knew we would feel comfortable from the shoot prior, so one less thing to worry about! They showed up on time, and our guests barely noticed they were there! They knew how to communicate well with our other vendors, and made sure the timeline was followed to a T - even when some makeup artists got a little unruly. Most importantly, Sarah made my husband and I feel calm on a day that could otherwise feel overwhelmingly chaotic. I wouldn't change a thing about the entire experience of working with AGPcollective, because that's what it is...an experience. It was such an honor to share this special time with Sarah. My only wish is that we continue to remain soul sisters. You will NEVER regret booking them. Just do it soon before they're all booked up!!!!
Sarah wowed us from the start. Her whimsical, clean and classic style is what drew us in, and her eye for exactly the right detail in every shot is what solidified our decision to work with the AGP team. Sarah is a true professional and she quickly became a trusted friend to both myself and my husband. We were very nervous for our engagement shoot, as we both tend to stand in the background in life and we find ourselves to be more awkward then not...That being said, Sarah quickly changed that mindset with her advice and witty humor. We felt so comfortable through the entire session and didn't want it to end! Needless to say, the photos came out better than we could have imagined. She even captured the innocence of our misbehaved k9 children, who knew that was even possible!
Going into our wedding day, we were STOKED to see Sarah and her team. We opted to go with the full 8 hours with Sarah and also a second shooter as well as the photo booth with CliqueBait. If you are even thinking about getting their photo booth DO IT! It's super high quality, the photos print super fast, they're clear, colorful and bright. The background options are awesome and her photo booth attendant sets up/breaks down quickly and quietly while also making you feel really comfortable while you're posing like an idiot aka rockstar in a horse mask or princess crown.
Leading up to our wedding Sarah checked in frequently, sent timeline suggestions, worked with my planners and venue as well as made sure we had every planned shot we wanted written down in advance so she was able to quickly call out names during family/bridal party shots and keep things flowing. We got the exact photos we wanted and then some. It was a perfect mixture of candid and posed because we were able to get through the planned shots so quickly! Her organization and professionalism shined through and everyone was impressed!
Sarah had sneak peek photos (via text message) to us within two days, which was incredible! Our full album came just as we arrived home from our honeymoon a little over a month later. Every photo was well thought out, carefully edited and we couldn't be happier with the final product! We're beyond proud to show them off to everyone, we even had a viewing party for our parents at our house! THANK YOU SARAH AND THE AGP TEAM, WE <3 YOU!
Working with Sarah for our wedding was hands down the best experience ever. Sarah was super responsive throughout the time leading up to the wedding, answered all of my stupid questions with grace and was all around just an awesome person to work with. On our actual wedding day, we had Sarah as our lead and Amber as our second shooter and the two of them were so fun, extremely organized, and made the process a total breeze. Sarah and Amber captured our wedding in all its drunken glory and produced GORGEOUS candids and formal photos that memorialized our day in every way I imagined. Literally couldn't say enough good things about them both as actual humans and professionals. Book 'em kids, you won't regret it.
Where to start? Sarah from AGP Collective is truly a gem and I cannot recommend her more to any couple looking for wedding photography. I had known and worked with Sarah for a few years (I'm a Philly based wedding planner myself) before getting engaged myself. When it came to selecting a wedding photographer for my own wedding, it was quite the decision, but Sarah was immediately at the top of my list without question. I had always loved working with Sarah onsite on wedding days and every collection she posted from a wedding, I would always LOVE. There's something about the way she captures days so naturally, nothing is too posed or planned, her couples always look so simply in love and I always loved the way she edited her photos, especially the ways her greens looked! I was so confident in Sarah to capture our wedding day, but I can honestly say that she EXCEEDED my already high expectation of her. I can't even tell you how beautiful our wedding photos were. I couldn't believe they were actually of our wedding day and the way she captured my now husband and I felt so natural and real. We will cherish these photos forever. I will also say that even my parents and family members were blown away. My dad is not a very easily excited person and when I shared the photos with him, he immediately called to say how impressed he was with the photos and had never seen wedding photos that were that nice before. I have even had guests and friends and even Facebook friends who weren't at the wedding, tell me that our photos were the most beautiful wedding photos they had ever seen and that is all thanks to Sarah and her amazing talent. I know I might sound like I'm gushing about my own wedding, but it was all thanks to how Sarah captured all the details I had planned and how she captured our friends and family so perfectly. I can promise you one thing, Sarah will be the best decisions you will ever make in your planning process and by the end of the planning will be one of your friends. And even better yet, she will leave you with the most amazing photos to cherish for years to come. Now you can see why she is a true gem.
I am not even sure where to begin. I remember seeing Sarah's work and thinking how AGPcollective would be my dream photography team. I squealed with excitement when she said YES!. From that moment the magic began. Through the whole process, Sarah was genuine and professional. She asked all the right questions from what we wanted, what our vision was and all the details I didn't even think of. When she and Jess arrived it was like having two best friends right by my side. It made it possible for me to have a single worry. Oh and the photos! Sarah and Jess were able to capture some of the most precious and breathtaking moments. The emotions that I get to re-live every time I look at these photos allows me to enjoy the best day ever for the rest of my life. I can't imagine anyone else capturing my wedding better than the girls over at AGPcollective. I am forever grateful. Thank you so much!
We absolutely adore AGP Collective. The whole team approached our wedding day with artistic vision, joy, humor, kindness, and professionalism, and it all shows in their beautiful work. We got comfortable working with Sarah at our engagement photo shoot, and she was a delight to work with throughout the whole process. We had some kooky ideas of how and where we wanted to do our shoot, and she made it all work, and delivered us photos that we will cherish. Then on our wedding day, she and her entire team were on top of everything, kept us on time, and got the best from us. The first look that she set up is a moment we will remember our whole lives, and we are so happy that we got to work with her. Thank you Sarah and AGP Collective!
My husband and I were so lucky to be able to snag Sarah to photograph our 9.2.17 wedding day in the Philly suburbs. We had 300 guests and it rained the entire day. The wedding went from being an outdoor celebration to a cozy, indoor event. Sarah still somehow managed to capture our vision for the day in every photograph. She was calm, sweet, and supportive--even getting an enormous spider out from under the lace of my dress. Sarah was more than a photographer. She made sure everyone was happy and comfortable at all times. Her pictures are gorgeous memories that I will treasure forever. If you are able to get a date, I highly recommend using Sarah Alderman and AGP Collective for your wedding photography needs. Thank you, Sarah and Jess, for capturing our day in a way that only AGP Collective can. Our day would not have been the same without you!
Sarah of the AGP is a true artist! Not only are her pictures AMAZING she manages to capture the raw beauty of expression in every photo. Sarah dives into your world for a day and captures it so that you are able to re- live all the feelings over and over again. There are not enough thank you's in the world for this kind soul and her work. It was an honor to have her capture our special day. We LOVE YOU Sarah
After seeing a friend's wedding photos, I knew Sarah was the perfect match for capturing my big day. Sarah was laid back and full of ideas all at the same time! Sarah took the time to get to know my husband and me during our engagement shoot which made us feel more comfortable while she helped us find poses that did not make us look like we're being forced to have our picture taken and letting us be ourselves all at the same time. Our finished product of both our wedding and engagement pictures are even more beautiful then we ever expected and sharing them with friends and family has been so much fun! I wish I could give AGP more stars as my experience with them was perfect!
Sarah took pictures of our engagement (secretly) and wedding day. After seeing her beautiful shots of our engagement, we had to make sure we had her pictures of the wedding day. We went as far as scheduling our wedding day around her availability.
Sarah's timeless and creative photos are some of the best we have ever seen and we can not recommend her enough. THANK YOU Sarah!
Sarah captured the non-fussed style we were looking for, and the photos exceeded our expectations. It's usually pretty easy to see that you like a photographer based on their work and their style, but I wanted to take this opportunity to comment on who she is as a person, because that's one thing that a photographer's galleries don't necessarily show; she's easy to work with, creative, motivated, dedicated, kind, and even when other things fell apart a bit (the weather, timelines not being met, etc.), she still delivered.
Sarah is a longtime friend and I couldn’t wait to connect with her once we set our wedding date after seeing her previous work. I never had a doubt in my mind that Sarah wouldn’t give us the greatest engagement and wedding portraits.
From the beginning of the process, Sarah was very professional and knew all the right questions to ask to get an idea of what we wanted. She took everything into consideration and wanted to make sure our photos reflected who we are as a couple.
While shooting, Sarah made us feel comfortable and was very patient with us. She always planned accordingly and we never felt rushed or frustrated. She has a true eye for the best photo settings and natural lighting that most of us cannot visualize—she also knows when to catch the raw moments which we found to be our favorite pictures.
During our wedding day, Sarah and Jessica couldn’t have been more of a pleasure to work with. Again, they were very patient with us and the bridal party even in 90+ degree weather. They were true professionals and it was a bonus to have them be a part of our wedding day.
Sarah and her team are more than experienced and have been thrown every scenario when it comes to shooting wedding day pictures. We were so thankful we took Sarah’s recommendation to do first look photos before the wedding ceremony and could enjoy our wedding and not rush the photos.
Again, Sarah is a true professional and I would recommend her and anyone working with her! She never fails to deliver and her website portfolio of her work speaks for itself. Her personality and the calming way she operates is an added plus-plus!
AGPcollective/Sarah Alderman's treasured photos preserve our wedding day in it's beautiful detail . Middle aged women marrying after many years together, when she asked what we were hoping for, I told Sarah in jest I hoped to look 35. We didn't look like anything but ourselves: joyful and happy women celebrating our amazing day. Sarah creates a sense of comfort and caring making every photo look natural and special. I'm grateful and appreciative that Sarah was able to help us capture all the beautiful moments of our day. Thanks Sarah & AGPcollective.
Sarah Sarah Sarah. I cannot even find words to speak about how pleased I am with not only her service, but her unbelivable talent! She took so much time out of her day to explain to me all the details I needed to know before hiring a photographer (knowing that I might not even choose her!) She was so helpful in aiding me with the whole process. When I did go with her (thank GOD), she met with me to go over the whole process and figured out things I didnt even think about! She dealt so professionally with some personality obstacles that came our way on the wedding. She and her assistant shooter Dan took incredible shots that I could only dream about. They captured my wedding so beautifully and made it look like that fairytale that it was. I love her photographic style too-its not fake looking and cheesey, its classic, natural, and organic. She can predict emotion before it happens, making some really beautiful, candid shots of my close friends and family. I love everything about her and couldnt recommend her highly enough!! I cant wait to have another event where I can use her again :)
