Sandra Costello Photography

er met her and it was really important that he liked her. After a very informative (but not stressful by any means) meeting we walked out and my husband said " I feel like I've known her forever, shes so great!!!" For our engagement photos We asked Sandra if she would come to our house to do a few family photos with our fur child (a cat) as well as around our house and then a few outside. We recently moved to the house and its where my husband proposed so we thought it was only appropriate. Sandra went out of her way and researched a local park to bring us to (my husband and I didn't even know it existed), so when we finished with some photos at the house she brought us to the park where we did more photos, which was so fun, especially when Sandra would say sweet things from behind the lens like "oh my gosh people this is beautiful" and "your beautiful keep smiling", those little things just help you keep going :) On the wedding day Sandra arrived ready to go with camera in hand and just started doing her thing. Leading up to the wedding Sandra gave us a really great questionnaire and asked what family shots we wanted and details we wanted etc, so that the day of she didn't have to ask us. This was so nice to not have to worry about because, as a bride and groom you have enough of your mind and to know Sandra had it all under control was a HUGE relief. Sandra was with us all evening and when it was time for her to leave she made sure to let us know and asked "is there anything else you want me to capture before I go?" which I loved that she even thought to ask. We just got to view our wedding photos and not even a minute into them I started crying because I was so amazed with the beauty of her work, its absolutely stunning!! Thank you Sandra from the bottom of my heart for the best day ever!

in person, we knew that she would be perfect for us. Sandra combines professionalism with a warm energy that makes you feel at ease. This was especially important for a quiet introvert (me) and a chronic over-smiler (my wife), who are both uncomfortable in front of a camera. Sandra encouraged us to do an engagement shoot, which helped us to feel even more at ease with her when our wedding day came. On the day of our wedding, she worked with us to take formal photos and group shots, and worked hard to capture the ceremony and reception. Several of our guests remarked that Sandra seemed to be *everywhere* throughout the evening, which is what you want in a photographer. Her assistant (Rosie) was amazing, capturing all sorts of moments throughout the day. And her wife (Brett) ran our photo booth, which our guests LOVED. She also recommended several of our other vendors to us, all of whom were amazing. ***Sandra also gives the best hugs. You might not think that it's important for your wedding photographer to give good hugs, but trust me -- it's a really great bonus.

cating and is always, always willing to help with anything you need (this goes beyond photography – Sandra’s recommendations led us to the most amazing wedding band). While Sandra shot our engagement photos, she made it a point to get to know us and our story. We had a very long shot list for the wedding, but also wanted to make sure the photos did not cut in to other parts of the wedding. Sandra somehow managed to get all of the pictures we asked for and so many other shots that we love. Sandra’s personality is infectious and she is someone you want around you on your wedding day. She manages to do her job and keep everyone else organized and punctual. Her photos are beautiful and we are so thrilled with everything she has done for us. Sandra is a special photographer who has become a dear friend. Sandra, thanks for everything!

he standard vendors our venue offered, we knew we had to ask Sandra to fly down to the Keys. It's THEE MOST important tangible memory we'll have of the Big Day, and thus it was worth every penny to choose a photographer who would take the location by the horns and embrace every personality to capture their candid, true nature. Working with Sandra isn't work, it's a collaboration. This was incredibly important to both of us.
