About this vendor
I am hear to bring your love story to life with as much authenticity and personality in every single moment!
I have been working with couples since 2012 when I graduated with a Photography degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Through the years I have found that my couples are laid back, adventurous, and up for anything! It is my job not to be just your photographer, but to be your bridal party bus DJ, professional dress fluffer, cake cutting instructor, and dance teacher so that everyone knows how to do the wobble at your reception. I capture moments and memories as real as they unfold; all the way from the time she says yes up to your 3rd kid's 5th birthday. I love being there every step of the way!
While all of my wedding photography packages come with a complimentary engagement session I also have the option to do elopements, destination weddings, save the date sessions, videography as well as boudoir sessions for the ladies! The world is our oyster!
So let's get together and capture some magic!

If I could give her more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Sarah's pictures are absolutely incredible! They're wonderfully creative and artistic, and just SO gorgeous! I knew I lov...
ed her style from her portfolio, but to see myself in her creations made me feel more beautiful than I thought possible, and now I have fantastic pictures to look back on and remember the magic of it all, which she captured so beautifully. Plus, she's super awesome and fun to be around!
Having Sarah as our wedding photographer was hands down the best (and first) decision we made. I knew from the moment I saw how she edited photos that I wanted that! Her vision, co...
lor tone, and editing is incredible. We have received countless compliments and questions about who our photographer was because people were so impressed.
Working with Sarah was so easy. She was always responsive, adaptable, insightful on things we had no clue about, and also so so kind! She made my husband and I feel like we knew her for years, even when we just met. She helped us feel natural in pictures and provided tips on how to pose (which was much needed for us). She made the day of the wedding flow with ease and provided us with photos that were quality + quantity which meant so much to us. I would highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to have unique wedding pictures that stand out from others.
My wife and I agree that choosing Sarah for our photographer was our best wedding decision. She was very responsive and helpful throughout our whole engagement and on our wedding d...
ay it was like hanging out with a friend. She finds the most creative spots for photos too - at one point she made us go onto a decorative ladder and was like "Don't worry I tested it out already, it's stable". Not to mention her work is INCREDIBLE. We showed our family and friends the sneak peak photos and received many comments that she captured the emotion of the day beautifully, which she absolutely did. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and highly recommend Sarah! :)
Sarah is absolutely incredible! She is probably one of the most creative people I have ever met. She will make your wedding photos/videos feel like a movie! It rained on our weddin...
g day and Sarah made it SO FUN! Our pictures were incredible the way she empathized the rain drops and made it romantic. She will move herself into the most crazy places to get unique and beautiful angles of you (lol) and it’s totally worth it! I highly recommend Sarah for the most memorable photos and videos.
Over the last year we had the pleasure of working with Sarah as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos and we are so glad we did! She was very outgoing and easy to ...
work with and always responded quickly. She captured our day beautifully. Our photos turned out incredible! They are unforgettable memories we will cherish for years to come. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great photographer! We will definitely be using her in the future!
Since I knew I wasn’t going to be having a videographer, I really wanted to have a photojournalistic photographer who would capture the day with all the ‘in the moment’ photos. Whe...
n I came across Sarah’s portfolio on the Knot, I loved the angles of the shots she had taken at previous engagement sessions and weddings so immediately reached out. Just over the phone, I could tell that I would get along well with her because of her outgoing and sociable personality. She was well organized and helped me curate a timeline during our initial conversation which I really appreciated.
Sarah was flexible with scheduling when it came to our engagement shoot. We had to push back the date and she easily worked with us on rescheduling which was very nice.
On the day of the wedding, she came early to set up and was very conscious to follow our day of timeline to ensure we stayed on time while still getting all the shots we wanted. I received a lot of compliments by how impressive Sarah was during the day to take all the shots she did by herself and how comfortable she made everyone feel in front of the camera. I was so excited to see our wedding photos and she delivered! They are so beautiful and she captured the day perfectly with so many wonderful photos. I am extremely happy we trusted Sarah to shoot our wedding. Sarah has an amazing talent and now my husband and I can relive our wonderful memories for a lifetime.
Sarah will go above and beyond to get the best photo possible. You will not be disappointed. She is an amazing person and wonderful and easy to work with!
Right away Sarah was quick to respond to our initial photography inquiry and since then has proven to have prompt and open communication. Sarah is super talented (obviously.. her w...
ork speaks for itself!) but she is also extremely easy going and fun to be around. She makes you laugh and feel comfortable throughout the whole process. During our engagement photos, Sarah went above and beyond (literally climbing a tree) to get the best shots. She wasn't afraid to take risks and go with the flow. We HIGHLY recommend booking Sarah and cannot wait for our wedding day... not only to see the photos that she will capture that day.. but also to get to hang out with her again!
My husband and I had originally come across Sarah through Instagram after we got engaged. The three of us went to dinner and discussed the vision we had for our big day. We immedia...
tely felt at ease and had a sense of comfort with her. We just got our pictures and video back and let me just say... we are so thankful we found her! Sarah captured our winter wonderland so beautifully. The photos of our friends and family are incredibly special and will be cherished forever. The video brought us to both tears and laughter, it absolutely melted my heart! Sarah was such a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend her to any bride and groom to be! Thanks again, Sarah! We love ya!
We first met Sarah for our engagement photos and had so much fun, so we also had her photograph our wedding. She has so much energy and somehow made taking wedding photos fun. Our...
whole wedding party and families loved working with her as much as we did, and our photos turned out perfectly!
Sarah has been an absolute gem to work with! We immediately felt a great connection with her when we first Skyped. She is so down-to-earth, welcoming, and easy-going. She has a gre...
at personality that anyone will feel comfortable being around. Obviously, she knows what to do with the camera, but I believe it's her whole calm, cool, collected ora that makes her so talented and successful. Both my fiancé and I are not the most confident when it comes to being models. Sarah made the whole engagement photo shoot feel so relaxed and FUN. She also gave great cues and direction to make us feel natural in front of the camera. Before hiring Sarah, we thought we'd be lucky if we got 1 good photo out of a 2 hour photo shoot.....Sarah captured dozens of wonderful photos we can use! She has also been very professional with answering our emails promptly, keeping us updated on how editing was going, and even answering questions about outfit choices for the shoot. I highly recommend choosing Sarah to be apart of this special time in your life. We can't WAIT to work with her again on our wedding day!
Sarah is seriously the best! From day one she was so amazing to work with. When we met her it felt like we had been friends for years. On the day of our wedding, she amazed everyon...
e that attended including us with her drive to photograph every perfect shot possible. She literally got into a pond to make sure she got the perfect shot of my husband and I in a boat. She pushed us to continue to take perfect sunset shots when all we wanted to do was enjoy our dinner 😊 and I’m so glad she did because they are amazing!! I am so thankful she was there before, during, and after our wedding making sure we had whatever we needed whenever we needed it. She even sent us a couple edits that night! We can’t thank her enough for all she did for us and are beyond impressed with all the pictures she has done for our family! She will always be our go-to photographer!
Sarah is the absolute best! She was so easy to work with, it didn't feel like she was our photographer but rather just one of our friends celebrating our day with us. She and her f...
riend/second photographer Cassie were a blast! They captured every aspect of the day so perfectly. There was not a single photo that we did not love from the gallery she sent us. Can't wait to see the video she is putting together for us as well!
Sarah is amazing! She is a great photographer and also a great person! My fiancé and I really enjoyed taking our pictures, we felt so relaxed and comfortable! Sarah was able to hel...
p us pose and make us laugh. She got us back our photos early and they are amazing. I’m so amazed with them! If you book Sarah you won’t be disappointed!!
Having Sarah as our photographer has been SUCH a breeze! Her ideas/images that she captured for our engagement pictures are nothing less than PERFECT! She made the entire experienc...
e fun and easy for us especially since we’ve never taken professional pictures before! Trusting someone with these special occasions such as engagement & marriage photos can be scary but knowing Sarah is my photographer has me worry-free! We LOVE her work!
Sarah is the best!! She's quick to respond to questions and she's very enthusiastic about her work. She showed up to our engagement shoot prepared with all sorts of ideas and our p...
ictures turned out STUNNING! My fiancé and I have gotten endless compliments on them! Getting pictures taken can feel super awkward but Sarah is very easy going and good at improvising so the whole evening went smoothly and we had a blast. My favorite thing about her work is that her shots look very candid, which is a huge reason we chose her! We can't wait to have her at our wedding!
Sarah is just absolutely amazing! Every aspect of our experience with her was above and beyond any expectation that we had. My fiance and I are always kind of awkward in front of a...
camera and told her it would be difficult to get good engagement pictures of us. Boy I couldn't be more wrong. Sarah has such a fun and energetic personality and made us feel comfortable. She's not afraid to get dirty for the perfect shot. I love her unique perspective and editing style. I can't wait for her to capture our big day next June. I highly recommend her, she will not disappoint.
Trying to find a photographer and videographer for our wedding was one of the hardest decisions for me but turned out to be the best! Sarah was so amazing. She came in and took cha...
rge, which was needed to bring structure and make the pictures go smoothly! she is fun, easy to work with, and provided so much guidance through the day when it was clear we were both stumped! On Top of that we got so many beautiful prints from her and CANNOT wait to see our video! they aren't kidding when they say the day goes by super fast, and it really does and remember is hard with the adrenaline of the day so I'm so glad we decided to have her capture a video too!! Hopefully will be able to get the chance to work with her again!
When I first was looking at photographers for my wedding I didn’t really know what “look” to go for. When I came across Sarah on The Knot, something about her photography struck me...
as intriguing. After meeting with her and discussing her photography background I was very impressed with her professionalism, and qualifications as a photographer. Throughout the year meeting up to my wedding, Sarah was very responsive in all my emails, texts and phone calls. She had an immediate response in any question or concern I had. It wasn’t until my wedding when I saw her again and her assist photographer. Both were very prompt in their time commitment and came prepared. I had warned them about the groom and groomsmen giving them a hard time which she smiled and laughed about. Sarah and her assistant photographer not only captured the amazing moments but blended personalities with our entire wedding party. I have never heard so many compliments on how much our bridal party had with the photographers. Both photographers were engaged in their work but laughed along with everyone else. It truly made the experience unforgettable. After a few days Sarah had shared her sneak peek photos. I LOVED every photo Sarah had taken I immediately started to cry. Her and Cassie captured moments I couldn’t have even imagined. I shared a few photos on social media and instantly had friends and family reach out inquiring about the photography. Sarah truly has an amazing talent and passion at what she does which shows in her work. Hiring Sarah you will truly get High quality photography with excellent service.
This was a first wedding for each of us, and neither of us had ever helped plan a wedding, so we didn’t know anything about what to ask for from a photographer. Sarah provided a qu...
estionnaire so if we did have any preferences, we could let her know, but we didn’t even know what to ask for. Had she stuck to just the things we specified, our photos would have been very lacking. Thankfully Sarah is a pro. She captured moments we never would have considered, but that help build such a beautiful album of the events of that special day. We can’t say enough good things about Sarah and would highly recommend her to anyone that needs an event (especially wedding) photographer.
My fiancé and I have had nothing short of an amazing experience with Sarah as our photographer. When we hired her, she came out to our hometown and talked with us over dinner about...
each of her packages and everything that she has to offer. Sarah is a bubble of energy, she’s so personable and fun which really set the tone for our photography session. She’s also very professional and truly listened to any preferences we had. We recently had our engagement shoot and couldn’t be happier with the results. The way she captured the lighting is simply perfect. We are so thrilled that Sarah is going be part of our special day, documenting moments we’ll remember forever. Thanks girl, you rock!
Sarah did an OUTSTANDING job on our wedding video!! She was able to capture quite a few 'stills' (additional photos from the video), some of which I like better than my own photogr...
apher! She paid great attention to detail, and was able to capture mine and my husband's personality in the video! She understood my style and was able to produce a video with the style lighting I wanted, the "vibe" I was going for, and captured our day perfectly. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!
Sarah is AMAZING!! She texted me a sneak peek only a few days after our wedding. The pictures are absolutely beautiful! She is amazing to work with, so friendly and funny. She did ...

Sarah did a wonderful job at our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the results. She was at our location ahead of time to set up and found great outdoor settings to take pictures...
. She was very professional and courteous.
Once we got inside she worked with the venue admins and DJ to set up time and places for different shots. She paid great attention to detail and the pictures all looked fantastic. She had the photos uploaded online for us to view that weekend.
We now have hundreds of high quality photo memories of our special day for years to come!
Thank you,
MJK

ng. Our entire bridal party absoutly loved her! She kept things fun and up beat. Her creativity turns into breathtaking photos and videos that you will not want to stop looking at.
Sarah did a phenomenal job shooting my cousins wedding. Her professionalism coupled with her vast knowledge of current wedding trends enables her to give a bride and groom exactly ...
what they need when capturing all the special moments.
The photographs where beautiful and timeless.
She directs the photo sessions well and makes all those being photographed feel comfortable.
I will be using her for all my photography needs in the near and distant future. I can’t say enough great things about Sarah.
Thanks for capturing all the best parts of my cousin and her husband’s big day!
Professional and easy to work with! She was always in the zone and focused on her job. The pictures turned out great at captured every moment of our wedding day!
Sarah took our engagement photos before we got married back in 2013 and did our anniversary photo this summer. She has been a pleasure to work with and have recommended her to all...
of our friends and family in need of a photographer, wedding or otherwise. Thanks again Sarah!
My fiancé and I were lucky enough to be Sarah's first proposal client! Matt hired her to sneakily capture the moment he dropped to one knee. Not only did Sarah capture these once i...
n a lifetime memories for us (despite how embarrassingly ugly my crying was), she went above and beyond in helping my fiancé find the best "picture perfect" location in a beautiful park AND cleared EVERYONE out of it until he proposed so we could have that intimate moment all to ourselves. If you're just looking for a good photographer, don't choose Sarah. Choose Photo and Film by Sarah Elizabeth if you want a new friend, an amazing photographer/videographer, and someone who will go above and beyond to make an already-special occasion even more special - even if it has nothing to do with the duties of a photo team. Thank you, Sarah, for capturing such a treasured time in our lives where my emotions didn't allow me to remember it as well as I would have wanted to.
Sarah is an amazing photographer! She has done our engagement photos, wedding, newborn pics and soon to do one year pics for our son! We have loved all the photos she has taken eac...

d even when I see how my parents cried when they danced with me, and how happy everyone was to be there. Thank you Sarah we love you so much 💖
Sarah's attention to detail is unmatched. She knows the right angles, the right lighting, the right way to position yourself. She did my engagement photos and spent nearly 3 hours ...
with us ensuring we had all of our favorite shots taken. I was so impressed that Sarah went out of her way to edit a few and send to me within a few hours of our shoot! I absolutely love the photos she has shared with me and cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you so much, Sarah!!
Sarah was the best part of my wedding! I must have looked at Pinterest every night for a year and gathered over 100s of photos I wanted to recreate on my big day but as soon as the...
day came I forgot every single pose I wanted her to capture then when I received my photos she captured so many of those moments and more I didn't even know were possible with incredible angles and jaw dropping back drops! Also, I'm so happy we decided to get the video also because the day came and went so fast I never got the chance to really take in the beautiful scenery or small details I missed! Every time I look over my photos or the video it leaves both my husband and I with the biggest smiles I'm so thankful she knew exactly what I wanted
Sarah did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Everything went awesome and we specifically loved the edited video she put together after!
Sarah did our engagement photos and she did an amazing job and captured our joy exactly how I envisioned it! Highly recommended. Great work and a package for any budget.
