Sara Boyd Photography

ny fun candids, and she really brought out people's personalities when photographing guests. I can't say enough good things about her. Check out her Instagram to look at her work. She was one of the first vendors we booked, and I'm so happy we did. Also, she just seems like a wonderful, fun person, and she brings that out in people she's photographing. HIRE HER! You won't be sorry!

She captured so much love and joy in our wedding photos and engagement session and that’s likely because when she works with you, she hypes you up, makes you laugh, and makes every moment that much more rich, fun, and wonderful. She is intentional about creating beautiful moments and capturing those real, raw, and little moments throughout such a special day. She makes sure her photography is a unique reflection of you and your partner - from encouraging us when we wanted to wear matching tracksuits at our engagement session to making sure she got a picture of our very skittish cat on the big day. She is proactive and responds quickly, no matter how ridiculous your question or concern is and makes you feel so supported. Beyond that, Sara is a fabulous human who is kind and champions her clients, equality, general goodness, and is someone you can feel SO GOOD about having on your side. I am so thankful we have her photos from our wedding, rehearsal dinner, and engagement session to cherish this special season of our lives. Hiring Sara was our very best decision and we cannot recommend her enough!!!!

ously a genius photographer. It was who she is as a human. We both knew Sara in different environments before hiring her. My wife was fortunate enough to have worked with her husband and I, working in the wedding industry, saw firsthand how Sara handled herself professionally live at events I worked. EVERYONE in the Charleston wedding scene knows her because of how talented she is. She is a strong, smart, empowering woman with a presence about her that makes you trust her both personally and professionally. It was important to find the right photographer who made us feel safe and comfortable. One of the first things we noticed out of all of the Charleston photographers was her inquiry form. It's crazy to think that out of all of the Charleston photographers we came across, Sara's form was the ONLY ONE that didn't assume we were a bride and groom. Her form asks for your name, your partner's name, and your pronouns. It's the little things like that that tell you the type of person Sara is—a true LGBTQIA+ ally who promotes love, inclusivity, and just being a good human. Sara just gets it and other photographers should follow suit. The whole process of working with Sara was a breath of fresh air amongst the obvious stresses of wedding planning. She knows 👏🏼 her 👏🏼 $hit 👏🏼. Problem-solving timelines and communicating with the other vendors like a boss. Early to the venue on the wedding day, she was posting on Instagram to hype us up. And when you see her, you just feel drawn to give her a big hug. Sara took control of that day with her camera in the best way! So calm, fun, easy, and comfortable. She was a reminder that we were all really there to celebrate! She let us all laugh and be playful and then gave us the much-needed moments to be alone and reflect. It never felt like we were rushed for time or missing out on any important moments. She allowed the whole day to feel organically “us”. We can’t stress enough that having Sara as our photographer was the best decision we made for our day to feel special. She really made an impression on us and everyone in the bridal party. Thank you SO MUCH for capturing our day, so that we remember, forever, just how perfect it was!

ave hired her. From our first initial phone call, we knew Sara would be perfect to capture our weekend. Sara has such a way of being the most professional person in the room, but also the most down to earth, easy going in the room. By the end of the night, she felt like a long lost best friend. We wouldn’t consider ourselves as a couple that is comfortable in front of a camera and Sara understood that from the beginning. There was not a single time (except for the obligatory family photos- which Sara executed so efficiently) that we felt like we were being photographed. She captured the most natural and beautiful photos of us, our family, and friends. Her attention to detail is top notch. Within two days of our initial phone call, I received a tentative wedding day time line, with every detail we discussed on our phone call and researched information about sunset times, and expected weather (this was over a year in advance!) leading up to the wedding, Sara checked in every few months to ask if we needed any help or recommendations. The month before, I filled out the most detailed photography timeline, photo wants, family information, etc questionnaire that probably exists. She nailed every detail. Not even 48 hours post wedding- Sara emailed us a “sneak peek” - but can you call 75 perfect photos a sneak peek? These photos were so beautiful and spanned the whole weekend that you could have convinced me that was the final album and I would have been over the moon with the results. Sara was TRULY the best decision of our weekend. We can not recommend enough that you hire Sara.

ere both looking for the same things when it came to what we wanted and what she would provide. Choosing a photographer to us was one of the biggest decisions and was the hardest choice to make - but Sara always felt right. We decided to move forward with her & eventually had our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos incredible, but she made what could be an awkward experience so much fun - we were so sad when we were done that day because it was a blast. Unfortunately, COVID hit our wedding day hard and we were unable to get married on our first & then second date. Sara understood and made switching things around as easy as can be, even though it hit her hard too. She would text and email us to ask what she could do to help us. She was much more than just a photographer, but truly became a friend to us. We finally had our wedding & she made the day so easy and flawless, capturing all the things we wanted. She was there for our first look (which I have friends say can be extremely awkward with just a few people around) and it was perfect. The rest of the day she hyped us up & she has the best prompts to get great group photos as well. We waited a few days to get our sneak peak photos, which I was expecting 5 maximum, and there were 72!!! They are all incredible photos and we already cannot wait to see the rest. If you are trying to find a photographer that will become a friend, listen to your wants/needs, make you laugh, take natural photos without being awkward and capture beautiful images that will last a lifetime, she is your girl. If you are overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start or who to pick, pick Sara. We would not hesitate to chose her again and again, and hope we can get more photos with her in the future. We love you, Sara!!!

ove around so that he would not have to walk in between photos. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. I also had told her that I do not like staged photos and she captured everything phenomenally! All of our photos are so real and truly encompass the day. She was also very quick to send us our wedding album! Most importantly, I appreciated her kindness and authenticity. It felt more like we had another friend at the wedding than a photographer. She was stress-free which was very nice as well! I would recommend her to everyone.

of the camera and truly captured MAGIC! Sara is beyond talented at what she does (which doesn't stop at taking photos). She created a timeline for the day, kept us on task, fixed my dress when needed (including tips for getting out the big mud stain before walking down the aisle!), and worked with all of our other vendors seamlessly. Planning and having a wedding during COVID got pretty stressful at times, but Sara's professionalism, preparedness, and ability to constantly have us laughing helped a ton. Every photo she captured we will cherish forever! They take us and our friends and family back to the day and tell the story so beautifully. We would hire Sara a million times over!! She goes above and beyond for her clients!

a special person. Sara's pictures are beautiful! Many people have told us that our wedding pictures belong in magazines. Sara is down-to-earth, funny and had the ability to make my camera shy husband relax and enjoy taking pictures! She wrangled our wedding party and families with a smile, and didn't bat an eye when a certain great Aunt tried to take over the shot arrangement. Sara is not only the person who photographed our wedding. She is also our friend. My husband and I each feel as if we have found a life long friend in her. She also loves dogs and inappropriate humor, so if you're into that kind of thing HIRE HER! Sara, on a serious note. THANK YOU for being who you are. You captured the best day of our lives and we couldn't be more thankful for you!

epted. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants the best photographer ever.

nd is so much fun! Everybody who met her at our wedding immediately loved her!! She will go beyond what is expected to make sure your experience is top notch. I cannot thank her enough for all her hard work! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! THANK YOU SARA!

playful, genuine, heartfelt, and vibrant. Sara possessed all the qualities that create a phenomenal photographer. She transformed my camera shy fiance into a happy model. She might be his new favorite person -- at least favorite photographer! She was able to easily wrangler all of our friends and family for group shots in a blink of the eye. Equally important, she is dependable, punctual, and very easy to work with. She even was willing to answer my frantic texts! if you're wanting a photographer who will care about your marriage, will learn about you in an effort to photograph your story authentically, and who will be your friend at the end of this, Sara is your gal!

day... and she absolutely did!

believably talented but more importantly an amazing individual. She had the ability to see our vision while making sure we were comfortable and having fun. From our initial conversation, I knew she cared for her clients beyond just capturing their personal moments; however after working with her for a year in a half, I can say it is truly evident the passion she has for her work but also the compassion she has for clients. I was blown away by her generosity and am grateful to call her a friend!

fantastic eye for composition and detail and blends right into the crowd at the event. Her photos really reflected the spirit of my daughter's wedding. Highly recommended.

for our engagement photos, giving us a great opportunity for getting comfortable in front of her. As for the wedding photos, Sara and the secondary photographer she brought, Rachel, captured our big day perfectly! They played with light, made sure to get all the shots we wanted, and even gave us a preview mere days after the wedding! Can't say enough good things about Sara Bee - just book her already!

ting and delightful to work with would high recommend her to anyone in the area - as well as out of state as she travels. Very professional and talented!!

rk with. Her photos are amazing and I can't wait to get them all back! Thank you Sara!

natural personalities. Sara provides a great value, and we love looking through our photos to relive our special day!
