Sarah Lockhart Photography

Sarah was such a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to capture any big moment. From the first conversation, she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, and I knew she was the right fit for my husband and me who can both be pretty camera shy. Not only is she warm and easy to work with, but she's also incredibly organized and made sure every important shot got taken without interrupting the flow of the day. For our wedding, she delivered over 1200 incredible photos that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

We absolutely loved working with Sarah. We first met her at a good friend's wedding and were so impressed with the way she handled the day and how the pictures came out that she was the only photographer we contacted after we got engaged. Sarah is so great at putting you at ease in front of the camera, it really felt like working with a friend. Sarah's communication was very clear and prompt throughout the process, and she worked really well with our planners to give us a schedule that made sense for our big day. Sarah and her second shooter Mira were great at wrangling everyone for all the various family shots and guiding us  from first look through to the reception. And, of course, our pictures turned out amazing, it brings us so much joy to be able to look back at our wedding through Sarah's lens — we couldn't recommend her more.

Sarah is an absolute gem! From the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands. Her ability to effortlessly capture emotions is truly remarkable. My husband, who initially was hesitant about photoshoots, was completely at ease under her guidance. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Sarah was incredibly attentive to our vision, and we felt heard throughout the entire process. The final photos exceeded all of our expectations. They beautifully captured the joy, love, and intimacy of our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a talented and compassionate photographer who will create timeless memories.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah when she worked my girlfriend's wedding and knew I needed her at mine. Sarah has this innate quality that immediately calms and sooths you, whilst bringing out your best. My husband and I LOVED our engagement shoot with her - and she took great care to reschedule 3x to ensure we got the perfect weather day. I told Sarah I don't know how to pose and she gave perfect instruction. She is *not* an editorial photographer, but damn, does she make you naturally glow and shine. It was an honour and a privilege to work with Sarah (and her darling team!) and we would do it a thousand times over. We definitely want her to shoot us in our first home too! Sarah was clear, concise, reasonable, respectful, fun, nurturing, confidence-boosting and just an overall enriching person to work with, could not imagine anyone better on your most important day. We also had a multicultural wedding and she took great care to make sure that was honoured in all its beauty - and she handled my mother with grace ;] Over a year later, not a day passes where I don't look back fondly at the beautiful memories captured on that day.

Not only did Sarah take stunning photos of our wedding and engagement—she was truly THE GLUE that held everything together. With a short timeline between our engagement and wedding date, we were quickly in need of someone dependable and tremendously talented. A friend, a respected wedding planner, recommended Sarah, and from the moment I saw her beautiful portfolio, I was ecstatic she was available. Her warmth, humor, and positive energy won me over instantly, creating a real collaborative approach, exactly what we wanted. Sarah's guidance was invaluable, especially as we planned in the midst of unfortunate challenges with my Dad's health. She became the supportive, organized, and caring presence I needed, acting like a guardian angel throughout the planning. She not only helped us find an incredible H+Mu team, floral designer, videographer, and day-of planner (on short notice) but also even helped me find my wedding shoes! Sarah's expert recommendations and guidance brought everything together magically. On the wedding day itself, Sarah was my trusted wing-woman. I had planned several surprises for my then-fiancé, my Dad, and our guests, and Sarah and her team were right there with me to make them happen. She kept us on schedule (a feat in itself) and ensured every "surprise" moment was beautifully captured. When I look back at our photos, they bring me right back to that day. The laughter, the warmth, the love, and the silly moments that define my family shine through every image. They’re beyond the wedding shots—they’re truly a gift of such magnificent memories. If you want a photographer who will capture your day exquisitely and support you every step of the way, Sarah is absolutely the person you want by your side. We couldn’t be more grateful.

I only have kind words and praise for Sarah. She played such a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. We were originally booked with a different photographer, but they unfortunately had to cancel with just two months to go. We frantically searched online to find someone else and when we landed on Sarah, it felt like fate that she was still available for our day. We spent over 45 minutes on the phone with her during our intro call because it was just so easy to talk to her. On the day of our wedding, she came in ready to go, whipping out all kinds of emergency supplies in the bridal suite as needs came up, and easily made friends with our moms, sisters, and the HMU artists. When it came time for our first look and portrait shots, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and never pushed us to keep going when we started to get a little tired and hot. She was extremely respectful of our needs and really let us enjoy our day together without being overly stressed about the photos. The whole day felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. And not only did she make us feel that way, but our entire family had such pleasant interactions with her as well. She is incredibly kind and personable and her warmth was felt by everyone. Her talent is also unbelievable. Sarah's photos are absolutely stunning. She did not miss a single moment, and truly delivered on getting posed shots that felt real and candids that captured the memories you want to hold onto forever. (And not to mention, she shot our entire wedding solo!) I told Sarah at the beginning that I was a huge fan of her black-and-white shots as well and she did not hold back at all. If you're a big fan of B&W she is seriously your gal! Every photo we got back feels like it should be in a magazine. She really does have such an amazing eye and an incredible, unique style. We have gotten so many compliments on the photos in the past few weeks from our family and friends and it's all thanks to Sarah. I cannot recommend her enough (seriously I could go on forever.) If you're looking for a talented, lovely human to capture your big day, please book her. It was the best decision we made throughout our entire planning process.

Sarah was the absolute best to work with, so communicative, calming and the pictures were gorgeous! She made our day so much more special!!

Can't recommend Sarah and Lockhart Photography enough. Hired Sarah for our wedding last year and can honestly say we were blown away by our experience with her throughout every step. Amazing photos that captured every angle of our wedding paired with an amazing, an intimate experience with her and her team that removed any stress or worrying about wedding photos, knew exactly how and where to get the best photos at and around our venue and received rave reviews from every guest.

Choosing Ryon Lockhart Photography to be a part of our wedding was truly one of the easiest decisions we made. Sarah and I instantly connected and I knew immediately she was going to be the one to capture our day and make our vision come alive. And she did just that! Not only on our wedding day, but at our engagement shoot as well. Our photos came out ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and we couldn’t be happier with them. Everyone was asking me how I found such a calm, easygoing and professional photographer because they were just as impressed as we originally were. I promise you will not be disappointed in the quality of her work and the genuine love she has for her profession.

Sarah was truly so amazing, kind and great at her job. Her and her team were responsive and helped balance all of our desires before / leading up to the wedding. During the ceremony and party, she was a great presence capturing all of the special moments (both organically and all of our requested shots). She was truly one of the best parts of the wedding and we would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the NY area!

We are overjoyed with our choice of Sarah Lockhart and Ryon Lockhart Photography to document our February 25th wedding at 501 Union. Sarah's talent truly shines in her ability to capture breathtaking black and white photos amidst the rest of her fantastic work. These monochrome shots added a timeless, elegant touch to our album that we absolutely adore. What made our experience even more special was Sarah's lovely personality. She made us feel completely at ease on our wedding day, which allowed for authentic and candid moments to be beautifully captured. Her warmth, patience, and professionalism throughout the day were exceptional. Sarah not only takes incredible photos but also brings a fantastic presence to your event. We can't recommend Sarah and Ryon Lockhart Photography enough. Thanks to her, our wedding memories are not only visually stunning but also filled with the genuine joy and emotion of the day. Thank you, Sarah!

RYON/LOCKHART’S PHOTOGRAPHY WORK IS BREATHTAKING! Wedding planning can be a bit stressful and overwhelming, especially when finding a photographer. I’m here to tell you first hand– there is no need to look any further. Sarah will capture your special day through the artistry that is her camera. Living in NYC and having our wedding in Brooklyn, we KNEW we wanted a NY city photographer. That's about all we knew. When we saw Sarah’s work through her socials, we felt all the vibes. It was a match made in heaven and we had no idea just how flawless, classy, professional and stylish these photos would be! WEDDING DAY Sarah and Mira worked their magic all morning into the night. They were also really friendly and awesome people to work with. Your wedding day can go by fast, and there is a lot to think about (or not think about) that can escape you. Our pictures were the easiest thing about our wedding day. They took the lead and knew the territory for the best picture opps. No detail was left uncaptured, as they knew every inch of the venue and decor as well! They knew who the important people were and really worked the room, the people, and most importantly always circled back to us for more pictures as ideas came to them. THE PICTURES A simple WOW, JUST WOW is all that is needed to describe our final pictures. Seriously, we were left speechless and have had endless compliments from our family and guests about the composition. Without listing all the things that can be captured in a wedding, Sarah and team of course captures all that. But that’s merely the tip of her work. To me, the pictures told a story. There were many photos that you can literally put in a magazine, but it was the unique and stylish photos of us, the venues, and candids that we will cherish FOREVER. They captured all the moments and all the people from morning to midnight. If you want your wedding story to be told and captured through the lens. If you want high quality, professionally edited pictures, unmatched point of view, and an overall great person and team… Ryon/Lockhart Photography is the easiest decision you will make for your wedding day. We were referred by two friends and we will recommend her to anyone!

Sarah was the absolute best. She is SUCH a gem to work with - so relaxed and genuine. From our first meeting, we knew she was exactly the right person for us. She is very organized in all of her planning and made us feel at ease that everything was handled. I had to push back our engagement shoot last minute due to a work emergency and she could not have been more gracious about it (and didn't charge for the delay). And most importantly, she made the wedding day super fun and the photos are GORGEOUS. She captured the day and our essence absolutely perfectly, we love looking at them and remembering all the memories. Would recommend her to ANYONE!

We absolutely LOVED working with Sarah for our engagement and wedding photos!!! From our first phone call with her, we knew she was exactly who we needed to work with. We are not the most comfortable in front of a camera and Sarah made the engagement session and our wedding day so fun and seamless - it felt like she was just hanging out with us, capturing beautiful moments and really let us be ourselves. Working with the right photographer was our #1 priority and I am truly so happy we found Sarah. We are looking forward to working with her again for hopefully other big life milestones in the future!

Sarah is not only an amazing photographer but such a kind person and makes you feel like your wedding is the first and last one she has worked on. When we were going through the vendor selection process, we instantly connected with Sarah because of the warm and calm energy we could sense just through a phone call. She was so helpful during the planning process, answering my millions of questions and answering me quickly. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session (and the photos came out amazing) that we knew on the day of, everything would go smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better team than Sarah and Myra !!

Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with! We had several calls with her before our wedding day because we were so nervous about timing and logistics on the wedding day - she immediately put us at ease and that carried though even more on the wedding day. I truly cannot imagine the day without her. Not only are the photos absolutely incredible, but her presence on that day will forever be remembered. We are so appreciative to have worked with such a kind and thoughtful person. Thank you, Sarah and team!

For two people who do not love getting their pictures taken, Sarah brought so much comfort and patience to our engagement shoot and wedding day. I personally loved her bright, dynamic, playful yet professional style and was ready to book as soon as we spoke on the phone. Sarah, herself is so lovely - we spent over an hour talking and going over my wedding vibe and she absolutely got our vision down to a T! Our pictures were so insanely beautiful and once again, Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. You will not be disappointed! P.S. Her assistant, Myra was a lowkey rockstar. We loved them both!!

Sarah and her team were incredible to work with and I cannot recommend them enough. Sarah was professional, kind, knowledgeable and so helpful during the planning process and day of. She was flexible when we wanted to add more coverage hours to our wedding day and was responsive throughout the entire lead up to our day, ensuring ongoing communication during the process and kindly answering my many questions. Sarah was a true gem. Ryon:Lockhart photography captured our day beautifully - even when it rained! We ended up loving the photos in the rain the most. Sarah did such a beautiful job and we loved all of the photographs we received. She truly captured the emotions of the day in an artistic and unique way. We were looking for a photographer who could capture candid moments as well as formal photos and she succeeded at both. We had a tight time window between the ceremony and the reception to get formal family pics in, and they did it flawlessly! Sarah definitely brought a sense of calm, creativity and joy to our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with. Pictures were very important to us, and I would recommend Ryon:Lockhart again and again. They are the best at their craft.

Choosing Ryon/Lockhart Photography was truly one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process, and Sarah was an absolute joy to work with. We feel so lucky to have had her as our wedding photographer. From our first phone call, it felt like I was catching up with an old friend – Sarah is so down to earth, organized, professional, and thoughtful. We first had an engagement session with Sarah in Central Park, where she made us feel so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She really took her time with the session, was so flexible and made sure we got all the shots we wanted with in a variety of locations. The pictures turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with them. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was so helpful and responsive every time I reached out to bounce ideas off her, giving me advice for how to schedule the day, recommending other vendors, giving general wedding tips, etc. For our wedding day, Sarah and her assistant Mira arrived right on schedule and immediately got to work documenting the day. I was so impressed with how they blended seamlessly into the party, managing to capture the most beautiful candid shots and document all the little details, as well as making sure to check off everything on our shot list. Our pictures came out STUNNING – they are my dream wedding photos and really capture the joy and emotion of the day. Overall, I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is tremendously talented and so wonderful to work with. Any couple would be lucky to have her for their big day!

Sarah of Ryon Lockhart Photography is a dream to work with. She is as lovely as her work is beautiful! Sarah and her assistant Mira captured so many special candid and posed moments throughout our wedding day—I've looked back at the digital album a million times since we received it several months ago. Every shot is just so good! Sarah is so talented, kind, reliable, and organized. She's the type of calming presence you want on your wedding day. She was also flexible, as we changed our wedding date and engagement shoot date due to Covid. Leading up to our wedding, Sarah met us in NYC for an engagement shoot on a chilly October day and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (all while being far along in her pregnancy, though that definitely didn't slow her down!). On the big day, Sarah and her team arrived promptly and immediately got to work documenting. All along the process and still, Sarah has been so easy to get in touch with and so responsive. She was truly a joy to work with—and our family and friends thought so too. She's definitely someone you want as part of your wedding team!

Working with Sarah was a dream! As a wedding planner and coordinator I do everything I can to prep my photographers before the big day - give a shot list, photo groupings, names, locations, etc. When the big day arrives, I'm usually running around like a chicken with my head cut off doing a million things. Sometimes photographers pull me in to ask questions, to help me pose groups, to call out photo groupings, etc. which takes me away from the work I should be focusing on. That is not the case with Sarah. She was able to take my documents and completely run with it. The group got ALL of their shots done before the ceremony AND they stuck to the timeline. Sarah was completely self sufficient and worked with her assistant to corral many wandering family members along with the wedding party to get the job done in an enjoyable way. I have no doubt that the photos are going to be flawless and cannot wait to see them! Photography and how it's executed can make or break the day. Book Sarah so you know you're in good hands :)

When I think back on our wedding day and how Sarah made us feel, I can't help but smile! Right off the bat, she and her assistant photographer Mira were so helpful, professional, and accommodating. They made us feel so beautiful and handled e everything from the individual to the couple to the group shots with such ease. Photography was a huge part of our wedding and something we really cared about, so we went through several photographers before finding Sarah. Right off the bat, we could tell that Sarah got us and understood our vision and what we wanted and when it came to the day of, she executed it perfectly. One thing I really appreciated was how attentive Sarah was to our feelings throughout the day. There is no way to prepare for how overwhelming a wedding day can be, but Sarah was constantly checking in, making sure we were feeling up to more photos, and if we weren't, she adjusted the schedule and made it work so we could enjoy the day to the fullest. We went to several locations prior to the ceremony and got what I can only imagine are amazing shots. When it came to the reception, Sarah was right in the mix with us getting those joy filled, party photos. I would recommend Lockhart Photography again and again to anyone who is planning a wedding. We cannot thank them enough!

My partner and I worked with Sarah to have her photograph our micro ceremony in April 2021 and then our weekend of wedding celebrations in June 2022. We, like many others, are absolutely not comfortable in front of a camera, and Sarah could not have made the experience any easier or more enjoyable. We were laughing the whole time, not taking anything too seriously, and ended up having the BEST time with Sarah whenever she was around. She helped put together a custom price/package for us since we were dealing with such a unique set of circumstances, and was also there to help guide us in making decisions around what to photograph, when she should be there and what types of photos were important to capture. She was also incredible at managing every situation, including family, friends and a variety of different personalities. She knew exactly when my husband and I wanted to be left alone (and would help us escape!) but also captured the most incredible candid shots of all of our friends and family laughing and dancing together. The only negative is that we dont have anything else we can hire Sarah to photograph for us, so we miss her!! Cant recommend Sarah and her team enough. She will make your entire experience fun and exciting, and will end up capturing the moments that make you look back on your wedding with the fondest memories.

We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Sarah for our wedding. We first booked an engagement shoot with her (which I highly recommend doing) around Manhattan and she immediately made us feel at ease. My husband and I are not inherently photogenic and she helped us to get some unbelievable photos. She took her time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. They were edited to perfection and returned back to us in a timely manner. On our actual wedding day she was able to effectively get photos of our incredibly large wedding party and any other members we listed without interfering with the timeline of the event. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how kind, professional, and talented Sarah is. Do yourself a favor and pick Sarah for your wedding as she will be hands down your favorite person you are working with!

We were so lucky that our wedding planner suggested Sarah! This was one of the most important decisions we made for our wedding and we could not be happier we did. Having Sarah around on the wedding day felt like another friend at the party - she is kindest, most positive, and fun person to have around. We are not used to being photographed but Sarah made us feel at ease and laid back (which is our style) and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out. We would without question recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and look forward to working with her in the future!!

Sarah was an absolute gem to work with for our wedding. We had to postpone our wedding twice and she was so helpful and flexible with the date and venue changes. On the day of the wedding she was so great to have around! She is very sweet and professional. When we received our wedding photos we were so thrilled with the results and looking at them brings me right back to the best day ever. I highly recommend Sarah!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sarah! Like so many couples who have left reviews, we are so grateful to have found Sarah to photograph our wedding - she is fun, kind, thoughtful, and incredibly talented. She made this process, from booking to engagement session to our wedding day so easy and joyful. On our wedding day, she arrived early and with so much excitement, it instantly made us at ease. You are with your photographer all day and honestly, having Sarah there was like hanging out with a friend (who happens to be amazing, thoughtful photographer). I think Covid brings out the best or worst in people and truly I can say with Sarah, it showed just how amazing she is, not only as a vendor, but as a person. When weddings were getting cancelled left and right, it’s easy to put your needs first. But Sarah put us first - she was there was we needed to bounce ideas for new plans and entertained all of our new date proposals. This is just who she is - empathetic and nice, and aware that she’s with couples during an incredibly important moment. Thank you, Sarah!!!

Sarah was an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end. Her authentic enthusiasm, sense of humor, collaborative attitude and professional expertise made the planning process fun and Sarah was extremely generous with her guidance when asked, even recommending other vendors who she trusted. By the time we were on-site it felt like a friend was taking our photos, even though we were meeting IRL for the first time. Even though my husband and I usually hate having our photos taken, she made the pre-ceremony photoshoot fun for us and, most importantly, we are THRILLED with the final shots! She captured all of the beautiful and hilarious moments that made the wedding truly feel like it was "us."

Truly the easiest and most rewarding wedding planning decision we made! I wish we could give Ryon Lockhart 100 stars! With over 60,000 photos on my personal phone, choosing a wedding photographer was always a daunting process, as I wanted to make sure the photographer not only captured what I would have but also understood us as a couple and was able to read the room! Sarah from Ryon / Lockhart exceeded our expectations! We bonded during our pre-wedding shoot and spent the time understanding our relationship, the type of wedding we were having and what was important to us. The day was blissful as we knew Sarah was capturing the moments she knew meant so much to us and fit our personality. Her ability to capture the day and all it's details - formal and candid - allowed us to relive all the feelings and emotions we experienced then and will now be able to cherish forever. Thank you Ryon / Lockhart. We are so grateful for your ability to capture our special day.

Our whole experience working with Sarah was so easy and wonderful and we couldn't have imagined how amazing our photos would come out. She captured exactly what we wanted - a mix of candid moments with beautiful portraits. We had wanted something super chic and romantic and a bit journalistic and that's exactly what we got. The mix of black and white and color is just so moody and romantic. She is an AMAZING value for her price. She was also so flexible to work with yet provided direction when we needed it during engagement photos. Day of she was incredible. No stressing over timing or family shots or even the way in which we were positioned or moved. It made such an impact on setting the tone for the whole day. Her assistant also brought a separate camera and shot in film which we especially loved - they turned out unbelievably cool. She hadn't met our videographer until the day of and they were both so calm and casual and worked perfectly together. Do not underestimate the personal connection - you will be spending all day with your photographer and TBH we should have even booked more time!! We couldn't be more grateful.

2020 was not an ideal year to be an engaged person. As if wedding planning isn't already stressful enough, adding onto it a worldwide pandemic could cause any couple to lose it. We were referred to Sarah through a friend and I already knew I loved her style from her gallery- I wanted very much a light, crisp look but also someone who could incorporate the perfect sunset lighting and knew how to take modern/city pictures. After speaking with Sarah over the phone, it re-instilled my desire to have her on our big day. Once we realized a June 2020 wedding wasn't realistic, we postponed until September...but go figure COVID and we worked with Sarah through another postponement. While we decided to move our big reception until Sept of 2021, we decided to safely get married in Sept of 2020 with our closest friends and family. Sarah was absolutely understanding during this stressful time. Each time we had to postpone and work with the venue on a new date- we had to realign all the vendors once again and Sarah worked with us through it all- even giving us advice outside of photography. We hired Sarah for our "microwedding" and I cannot tell you how many people have told us the pictures were stunning quality. We did our first looks at Gramercy Park, got married at a church in Chelsea and then did our indoor/outdoor celebration at a country club out in Long Island. Sarah was a team of one on this day and it amazes me how she was able to get all those pictures, from all the different angles. There wasn't a person on our list that she didn't cross off and we are beyond happy with how the pictures came out this year and we can't wait to be working with her again next year on our big "vow renewal" reception day.

We worked with Sara for our engagement photos and wedding. Sara was incredibly responsive, professional, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure our photos were spectacular. My mom and I even had a few requests for editing some of our wedding photos, and Sara went out of her way to ensure our photos were perfect. I hope to work with Sara again in the future for family sessions once we have a little one. I would recommend Sara to my friends, family, and any engaged couple.

I can say with 100% certainty hiring Ryon: Lockhart was the best decision I made and I literally feel like the luckiest bride that I got to work with Sarah! My wedding pictures are absolute perfection! I knew when planning my wedding picking the wedding photographer was going to be one of the biggest and hardest decision I had to make. Your wedding photographer is with you for a lot of time on your Wedding Day so it’s really important to choose someone you feel comfortable around because that person becomes part of your support system on that day. From the moment, I had my first phone call with Sarah I knew I wanted to work with her, because she it was so easy to talk to and she is so down to earth. Not only were my Husband and I soo impressed with Sarah but both of our families couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was. On another note, I am also a 2020 bride which means my original wedding plans had to change and I was so fortunate to be working with vendors and like Ryon: Lockhart that understood the tough decision I was having to make and were so flexible with me while I was trying to navigate postponing my original wedding while also trying to plan a micro wedding. Overall working with Sarah is such a pleasure and she is so talented, if you are lucky and she has your wedding date available you definitely don’t want to miss the opportunity to work with her!!!

Sarah and Tim were amazing from the first email to long after our wedding. Sarah is honestly the kindest person and listened to and executed on all of our wishes. We faced some difficulty with our wedding because my husband and I were supposed to be married in April 2020. Sarah and Tim were so gracious and easy to work with during the re-scheduling process. On the day of our micro wedding, Sarah was a joy to be around and so prepared and professional! And most importantly, our pictures were AMAZING!! She captured all of the love and laughter of the day, we were blown away when we received our gallery. I highly recommend Sarah and Tim, we were so glad we were able to have them photograph our wedding and cannot wait to work with them in the future!

We could not be more thankful for Sarah (of Ryon:Lockhart) and the memories that she captured of our intimate wedding this year. When we originally had to postpone our 200+ person July wedding, Sarah was incredibly understanding, and was flexible as we worked with our venue to find a new date in 2021; rescheduling her was likely the EASIEST part about having to postpone our wedding. Better yet, we reached out to Sarah about a month later because we decided to still get legally married on our original date, but in my parents backyard with only 14 guests. I knew Sarah would capture the day so perfectly, and we were ecstatic when she agreed to come shoot our small ceremony. She was so respectful (wore a mask the whole time!), so organized, and captured every moment (and more) than we could have ever imagined. We teared up when we received our images. Not to mention that she is so easy to talk to, so fun to be around, and makes you feel so comfortable (and not awkward!) in front of the camera because she focuses on capturing real, genuine/candid moments instead of all posed, highly filtered and forced images. We are forever thankful for her and we are so excited for her to capture our wedding #2 next year (whatever it ends up looking like!)

As a planner, I work with photographers at every single event, and often have a pleasant experience. But working with Sarah for the first time, I knew I had found a "gem", and a go-to photographer on my "team." She is everything you want in a photographer for your special day: cool, collective, real, relatable, flexible, fun and simply elevates the entire day with her positive energy and genuine personality. You spend the most amount of time with your photographer out of any other vendor on the day of, so you need to be able to be comfortable with your photographer. And I don't think you could be more at ease than with Sarah. She is also an advocate for you and your photos. Making sure you're having the best day while also getting your dream shots for life! Photography is one of the most important wedding investments because it is one of the few things that will help you capture the joy and last for a lifetime. You want to invest in yourself for your wedding, and for that, I can't recommend Sarah enough - you'll be over the moon. She is simply a wonderful human being!

Sarah is an absolute delight to work with! She's an incredibly kind and warm person, and my couples fall in love with her right away. Her work is incredible and she does an amazing job of making couples comfortable in front of her camera. She really captures the joy, spirit, and energy of each wedding day. Behind the scenes, I love working with Sarah because she's organized, communicative, and always a consummate professional. Sarah makes an incredible addition to any vendor team, and I cannot recommend her more highly!

My husband and I could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding day than Ryon Lockhart Photography. To say way LOVE every single photo is an understatement. We first met Sarah over a few margaritas and chatted about how my husband and I met. We felt like we knew her forever and it was a no brainer to have her photograph our wedding. We were lucky enough to have both Sarah and her husband Tim spend the day with us on our wedding day. Their energy was incredible and we could not have felt more relaxed! I don’t love taking pictures and when I take them, I feel a bit awkward. Sarah was magic and made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while taking pictures. She knew exactly what to say and how to loosen us up. Not only did she capture the posed pictures that we wanted in front of NYC locations that truly meant a lot to us in our relationship, but she captured organic moments of us with our friends and family that truly translate how much fun we were having and how much love was in the room. We were so so lucky to have Sarah and Tim at our wedding and the incredible pictures to go along with it. We hope to hire Ryon Lockhart for any photos needed in the future!! Lots of love to you guys!!

Hiring Ryon:Lockhart was truly one of the best decisions we made among the countless number of decisions that go into planning a wedding. Almost 6 months after our wedding, I still can't believe how unbelievably beautiful our photos came out. Sarah is not only incredibly talented but she is also such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I really don't like taking pictures and Sarah made us feel so comfortable and gave great guidance on how to pose so that we looked natural and like ourselves. We would highly recommend Ryon:Lockhart to anyone!

Sarah & Tim are so talented! They are unbelievably professional, while also making the process fun and natural. We were so thrilled by all the photos we received for our engagement session as well as the wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone! We have received so many compliments on our photos!

Sarah took photo of our civil ceremony in NYC and did an amazing job. I absolutely love every single photo she shared with us. She made us feel very natural and comfortable when posing. It felt like we had known each other for a while already. She also caught beautiful intimate moments and great detail shots that I really cherish. I would 100% work with her again.

Sarah was amazing!!! She and an assistant photographed my wedding on September 1st, and she could not have been lovelier. The pictures she captured are beautiful. Any bride and groom know the day of the wedding is a blur, and there are so many moments in this album that we forgot or weren't present for. Now we get to relive every moment of the day over and over again! Aside from taking beautiful pictures, Sarah is also a fantastic person! We met the day of the wedding, and by the end of the night, I wanted her to stay a guest! Everyone loved working with her, and I still have guests who tell me how wonderful she was.

Sarah was an absolute joy to work with!! Words cannot describe how perfect she made the photo-experience! She photographed my engagement/proposal and went above and beyond our expectations! Photographing a surprise proposal is not the easiest request. However, Sarah provided important experience and insight into how we would pull it off. A week before the proposal she even walked through the proposal/photoshoot with me in-person and on-site!! My Fiance and I have never had our pictures taken professionally, so we were a little awkward. Sarah made us feel very comfortable and was reassuring throughout the entire experience. In the end, the photos came out perfectly and will be an everlasting memory of an excellent experience! Seriously, cannot recommend enough!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOOK NOW!! Thank you so much Sarah!!

Sarah and Tim were SUCH joys to work with! One of the most important things I realized about hiring wedding vendors was how important it was to choose people you trusted as good people and connected with because they are surrounding you and your family during some of the most important moments of your life. From the moment I spoke with Sarah on the phone, it was clear that her kindness and genuineness matched up with the absolutely gorgeous photos I had seen on her website. Throughout the entire process, Sarah was always willing to offer suggestions on timeline and flow of events; she patiently talked through the smallest of details and was really responsive to answering any questions that arose. On the day of, she was timely, professional and able to effortlessly direct family to efficiently get through photos so we could party. We were beyond thrilled with the final album she provided us- so many people have commented how she was able to capture so much joy and love from the day and we completely agree. We cannot recommend her enough!

Wedding photos lasts forever and finding the right photographer was very important to us from the beginning. And we could not have asked for a better photographers than Ryon:Lockhart. The moment we saw their portfolio, we instantly fell in love with their works. Not only it was elegant, timeless but there was something special about all the photos. So, when we found out that they were available for our date, we were ecstatic and booked them immediately. We knew that we were in good hands from the beginning, but the experience we’ve had with Sarah + Billye turned out to be beyond what we had hoped for. As we got to know Sarah more, we fell in love with her personality as much as we loved her works. Her sincerity, kindness and the positive energy reassured us that we are in good hands and that we have nothing to worry about other than just enjoy our special day together. When the day came around, Sarah was there every step and every breath. Although my husband and I tend to get terribly awkward and shy when it comes to posing for photos, Sarah + Billye made us feel like rock stars. They were such professionals and made everyone taking photos feel so at ease. And it all showed in our wedding photos. The warm light, the fragrant air, all the smiles, gazes and laughters. The photos captured the love and happiness that was all around us that day. It was natural, beautiful and just perfect. We would recommend Ryon:Lockhart to anyone in a heartbeat. Thank you guys for capturing our special day and making it last forever :)

Sarah and Tim were a dream to work with! My husband and I got married in Yountville, CA but live in New York City. Our planner, Erin Vigil from Your Event by Erin, recommended them to us because they have experience in doing weddings on both coasts. We loved Sarah right off the bat, but because she and Tim are bi-coastal, we had the option to do our engagement shoot in New York so that we could get to know her before our wedding day. Sarah is very calm and collected and one of the nicest people you will meet, but when she needs to corral 15 family members together for a group photo, she has no trouble doing so. We loved our engagement photos, but were OBSESSED with our wedding photos. Sarah and Tim captured our aesthetic to perfection and we could not be happier with the finished product. Sarah even rushed a few family photos to me before the holidays so that I could give them to our parents as Christmas gifts!

It was such a wonderful experience working with Sarah and Tim. From the first phone call, I got an immediate sense of what a genuine and kind person Sarah is and how seriously she approaches capturing such a special event. My husband and I are not very comfortable being in the spotlight, but she and Tim put us at ease. Sarah was also so helpful in putting together a timeline. We wanted to get in most of our formal shots before the ceremony. It was a lot to get done and could’ve been stressful, but they made it fun and worked so well with our friends and family. It’s been such a joy going through our photos. From the more formal ones to the action shots on the dance floor...they all came out so beautiful! Sarah and Tim clearly put so much thought and hard work into the photos...they truly reflect the happiness and love we felt that day. We’ll cherish the memories forever.

Sarah and Tim are simply AMAZING! After booking the venue, Sarah and Tim were the very first vendor we booked and it was the easiest decision we made. From our initial ‘meeting’ with Sarah on Skype to finally seeing all of our gorgeous photos, it was such a flawless and enjoyable experience. My husband and I wanted to make sure the photographer we chose was someone who could capture our day as organically as possible and Sarah and Tim did just that. Actually they did more than that— they somehow captured every special moment (both big and small) all while making us look like professional models. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was responsive and true to her deadlines, and her genuine kindness, compassion, understanding and laid back vibe instantly put us at ease during the stressful planning months. On the day of the wedding they were incredibly fun to be around and made us feel very comfortable— at times we would not even realize they were there! Sarah and Tim were such a power team, working together seamlessly to ensure we got all the shots we wanted and then some. Their laid back, fun vibe was a pleasure to be around all day and they somehow managed to wrangle our giant (sometimes rowdy) wedding party together to get some truly incredible photos. I personally loved how Sarah was open to taking more out-of-the-box photos— which turned out to be some of my favorites. She also captured the little quiet moments throughout the day that were so special to us and something we will keep close to our hearts forever. Overall, I could not have imaged a better team to be with on our wedding day. Sarah and Tim are really more than photographers. We felt we were in safe hands throughout the entire process and when we finally met, it was like having two friends there with you. Their endless talent and professionalism shines through, allowing you to relax and have the best day of your lives. Words cannot express how in love we are with every single photo they captured from our wedding. Choosing Sarah and Tim to photograph our wedding was without a doubt the easiest and best decision we made for our day. They are both such wonderful and kind people and absolutely remarkable photographers. Not only do we have the most beautiful pictures to last a lifetime, it’s a connection that we look forward to continue in the future. Xo, Corinne and Dave

We can not say enough wonderful things about Sarah & Tim! There were absolutely wonderful from start to finish and we can’t get over how perfectly they captured the day and all the love, joy and happiness we felt! We were fortunate enough to have spent time with Sarah and Tim at our best friend’s wedding the previous year, where they were both the photographers! Having the chance to meet them, see them capture the day and develop such stunning photographs was such a cool experience and had us even more excited to work with them for our own wedding. Everything leading up to the event with Sarah was so organized, fun and not stressful in the slightest! She was incredibly helpful in assisting us organize our timeline and structure the day to ensure we were able to capture all the pictures we wanted! When the day came around, Sarah and Tim were just so perfect! They were fun, sweet, professional, respectful and had the perfect ability to keep a flexible and carefree environment while also ensuring our very loud, excited and energetic group stayed relatively on course for the day :) Sarah and Tim were terrific and captured all the pictures we were hoping for (which was no easy feat with some of the big group pictures)! When we received the pictures, we were overwhelmed with how stunning and beautiful they were. They perfectly captured the light, love, emotions and happiness of the day. We spent hours going through the pictures and LOVE every single one! The quality was spectacular and the light and airiness to them perfectly matched the Jersey shore / winery theme of our wedding! We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ryon Lockhart photography and know anyone who is lucky enough to work with them will feel the same way!

We can not give enough praise to Ryon: Lockhart photography. From start to finish Sarah and Tim were extremely professional, helpful and pleasant. They find a perfect balance between casual and professional- and their photos are amazing! At the end of your day it’s your photographers that you see the most of on your wedding day and I was so pleased to have these two present to capture all of our special moments. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

The best decision we made! My husband and I went back and forth on who to choose for photography since several vendors offer similar pricing and photo packages. However, Sarah and her husband, Tim, are truly special and I'm so glad we chose them! From the engagement shoot to our wedding day, they made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera - something we did not feel comfortable with at first. Not to mention, our photos came out absolutely stunning! They are exactly what I envisioned. Sarah captured every special moment no matter how small and I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you again Ryon Lockhart!

Gorgeous wedding photos! Sarah and her husband do an amazing job of capturing the beauty of your wedding (scenery and people). We did our engagement photos in the city and our wedding at the beach and the photos are even better then I could have imagined. They can do any setup. They are also such a pleasure to work with and make it easy! You spend a lot of time with your photographers on your wedding day so make sure you have a goood repour. Photos also aren't your average cheesy photos either. Even my husband who doesn't love taking photos was so happy with how they turned out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

There are not enough good things we could say about Ryon:Lockhart Photography. We worked closely with Sarah from the very start and were impressed with her professionalism but also her casual and approachable vibe. She immediately understand the look we were going for with our photos and our laidback style and that's exactly what we received. On the day of our wedding, she showed up right on time and was just as pumped about our wedding as we were. The final images we received were amazing, literally exactly what we wanted. Sarah made us feel comfortable all day and was great at getting beautiful, natural and unstaged "posey" photos. Would definitely recommend Ryon:Lockhart for anyone in the market!

We can’t say enough great things about Sarah and Tim! They were recommended by close friends (one is a photographer), so we trusted we were in good hands. But, we were blown away by our engagement pictures. We first met Sarah 8 months before our wedding for our engagement shoot in Central Park. She made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and made the day so fun! She gave us our pictures in record time, and every single one was exceptional (it was next to impossible to pick just one favorite for our Save the Dates)! On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Tim were both so great. They are an amazing team, and went above and beyond to ensure that they captured every single detail of our wedding day. We had a fusion wedding, which meant that Sarah and Tim had to work all day with barely a break to capture Hindu and Western ceremonies and one reception all in one day. They worked tirelessly and always with a smile on their faces. They were funny, extremely supportive, organized, and so lovely to work with. Sarah even helped me change into my third outfit for the reception! We are so lucky to work with such talented photographers who felt like family from the very beginning!

We hired Ryon:Lockhart for our wedding here in Los Angeles last fall based on the recommendation of friends who had also hired them (and loved them), and I cannot say enough amazing things! Sarah was our main contact throughout the entire process, and she made the whole process a joy. Not only was she responsive and true to her deadlines, but she was so genuinely nice and accommodating throughout and instantly put me at ease during the stressful planning months. Sarah had lots of great ideas for our engagement session, and we ended up choosing Venice Beach and the Venice Canals based on her advice. We were so glad we did! She has such an eye for color and light, and her easy going nature makes the whole thing FUN. We had such a blast taking photos with her and knew our wedding would be more of the same. On our wedding day, Sarah and Tim were such a power team, working together seamlessly to ensure we got all the shots we wanted and then some. They were calm and professional as they somehow wrangled our huge wedding party and families together, and we couldn't be happier with how all of the photos came out. At this point, I trusted Sarah so much I said "sure!" when she suggested we hike up the hillside (wedding dress, heels and all) to get the aerial vineyard shots I was hoping for. And she did not disappoint!! I cannot recommend Ryon:Lockhart enough for your wedding photos ... or engagement photos, family photos... any photos! They are the real deal and you will be so happy you did!
