AGPcollective

arah 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!

derful 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.

en 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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

n 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!

e 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.

ghout 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 💓💓💓💓

She will be forever recommended to my clients and I can't wait to work with her again!

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.

r 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.

rticularly 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!

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.

e 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!!

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!!!

ced 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.

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.

h 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.

ith 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.

ircumstances 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!

t. 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

arah 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.

was beyond fabulous!!! Highly recommend AGP.

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!)

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.

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!

n 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.

er 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.

d 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!

st 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!

s 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.

al. By the end of the night Sarah and the AGP Team felt like part of our family!

ent, passionate and professional. By the end of the night Sarah and the AGP Team felt like part of our family.

d!!

he 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.

new 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!!!!

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!

tions 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.
