We had an incredible experience with Sara as our wedding photographer from our engagement photos all the way through our wedding day. Sara and her husband Chris were amazing to wor...
k with. Professional, kind, and always in the right place capturing the best moments. Even our guests commented on how great they were throughout the day.
One of the sweetest touches was receiving a small Polaroid album during dinner so we could instantly relive parts of the day. We saw our sneak peeks a couple days later, and our full gallery was delivered in under two months, which was amazing! Sara went above and beyond.
We are absolutely in love with our photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Sara and Chris to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares!
How can I give more than 5 stars? Sara and Chris made our day the most special. When hiring a photographer you have to consider that you are spending the most time with this team o...
n your wedding day, even more than your parents or friends! Our experience from our engagement shoot to day of was perfection. We cannot say enough positives about spending our day with them. Sara made me feel calm and taken care of the entire day. My husband enjoyed getting to know Chris and he made the detail shots 'painless'. We opted to not have a formal wedding party, instead it was so special to have candid photos from many aspects of our day. Sara shows her authentic self in everything she does, you will not regret having her be your photo bestie on your best day ever!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sara and Chris! From the moment I talked to Sara on the phone for our initial call, I knew she would be our wedding photographer. She wa...
s the first photographer I talked to who actually listened to the details of what I envisioned for my wedding and emailed me some of her work based on what I was looking for. It was a no brainer! We did an engagement shoot with Sara and Chris which was so fun to get those photos taken and also get comfortable with them and being behind the camera.
When Sara and Chris arrived on our wedding day, they were by our sides, making sure every special moment was captured beautifully. Their professionalism, kindness, and incredible talent made us feel so comfortable and at ease the entire day and night. They take initiative and do not let the little things get in the way!
I was feeling some nerves on my wedding day, and Sara went above and beyond by taking a moment to pray over me and allowing my bridal party to pray over me too. That gesture meant the world to me and truly helped put me at ease and be present in the moment. It’s rare to find photographers who not only capture your memories but also genuinely care about you.
Not only did they take the most breathtaking photos that we will cherish forever, but they also provided so much support throughout the day—whether it was helping us stay on schedule or capturing those little candid moments that mean everything.
Sara and Chris will definitely be our go-to photographers for all of our future photography needs, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, dedicated, and all-around amazing photography team. Thank you both for making our wedding day so magical! -Justin and Lexie
Sara and Chris truly made our day, not only did they make us so comfortable around the camera, but also took the most amazing photos! My husband and I are NOT picture people, we do...
n’t take many photos and haven’t done a photoshoot before, but oh my goodness having these two amazing people behind the camera, it felt like we were hanging out with close friends and truly we had so much fun every time we got to be with them! Photographers are the ones you spend most of your wedding day with, and there’s no one we would rather share this day with than them, and truly trust to take our once in a lifetime photos! These two are an all star team, and you feel like you’ve known them forever. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend them, you will not regret it!
I don't think any review will explain how grateful my husband and I are for Sara and Chris. They did such an amazing job and captured the most beautiful little moments we didn't ev...
en know were being taken. They were there every step of the way on our day. They not only photographed our wedding but also made sure we were asked if we had eaten and checked in on our daughter who was not feeling well the day of the wedding. I can't explain my gratitude for these two amazing people. They are absolutely amazing and a God send. If it weren't for them, I don't think the night could have gone as smoothly as it did. We will forever be grateful for them.
My husband Luke and I were so blessed to have Sara Purdy and her team photograph our wedding day. Not only was she wonderful on our wedding day, but also every day leading up to th...
e big day from the first moment that I inquired with her about shooting our wedding after we got engaged. She goes above and beyond capturing the moment and her expertise, guidance, and wisdom for the bride-to-be is unmatched. I cannot image our wedding day without her. Not only will she work wonderfully with you, but also with your family and the vendors involved (if you're planning to have her photograph your wedding, she is wonderful for other photo opportunities also!). She never let us down in any way, and truly the opposite by exceeding our expectations by her utmost flexibility and hospitality. My first conversation with Sara we talked about my desire to have photos that were timeless and would last us forever, and our collection is just that. We highly recommend Sara, and we promise that you will not have one photo taken that you simply do not absolutely love!
If we could give Sara Purdy Photography more than 5 stars, we would. From the time we met Sara and Chris at our engagement session, we immediately felt comfortable with them and fe...
lt like they were friends more than vendors! The photos from our engagement session and our wedding came back to us so quickly. We have had so many compliments from everyone on our photos! We cannot speak highly enough of them.
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Sara and Chris for our photography. From our very first meeting for our engagement shoot, to the day we received our we...
dding photos, they have been nothing but professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. They not only provided the most amazing wedding photos, but they also made sure our day was running smoothly and that we got all of the pictures we had hoped for. They made us feel comfortable from day one and we can’t thank them enough for everything. Numerous people have told us our wedding pictures are the best they have ever seen.
Sara and Chris are the best!! They make you feel so comfortable when posing it really does come out natural. And the photos are all absolutely beautiful and truly capture the love ...
and fun!
So attentive and sweet! Sara & her husband made the process easier. They were efficient, smooth and just wonderful!
We absolutely loved having Sara capturing every moment of our wedding! Her and her husband Chris make it so comfortable, easy to laugh and joke around with, and just be yourself ar...
ound (which is hard when you have never met someone before). You can tell she puts in a lot of work on getting you your pictures back because she is just as excited as you are! She is simply the best! We will forever choose Sara Purdy Photography to capture our life moments!
Mrs. Sara and her husband Chris have been the absolute best from the very beginning phone call when I reached out to them. They are the most fun to work with and will definitely ma...
ke you laugh to capture the BEST pictures! Having the engagement session first with them helped us to become comfortable with not only them but also taking professional pictures for the first time. They tell you exactly what to do, how to stand etc. Truly the best, sweetest & funniest couple to have capture your special moments! We couldn’t be more happier with our engagement and wedding day photos. Would highly recommend her to capture your special day or event! We love them!!!
Sara and Chris are the best photographers around! First, they are very reasonably priced (ESPECIALLY considering how talented they are). Second, they have the best personalities! T...
hey are friendly, accommodating, professional, and detail-oriented. They fit in perfectly at our small, intimate wedding, and our other vendors loved them, too! Lastly, the quality of photos is unbelievable!!! Both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out better than we could have hoped for. Sara edits her photos in a timeless way, and she delivered our entire wedding album in less than 2 weeks - incredibly fast!!! They also prompt you with poses the whole time (we had never done professional photos before, so this made us feel much more comfortable and prepared). These photos will be in our homes and hearts forever, so we are overwhelmingly satisfied with our decision to hire Sara and Chris to capture them. Highly, highly recommend :)
Absolutely loved having Sara and Chris do our wedding photography! From our first conversation to receiving our photos Sara was kind, responsive, and a joy to work with. The experi...
ence was fun and the quality of photos far exceeded our expectations. Many bridal party members and guests commented on how wonderful our photographers were and we could not agree more. We were so thrilled with our experience working with them, we cannot recommend them enough!
I absolutely love them. My pictures are beautiful. they gave us the best experience from start to finish! 10/10 would recommend 😍
First let me start by saying - Chris (Sara’s husband & photography partner) traded pants with my husband on our wedding day after my husband ripped his pants!! If that doesn’t say ...
enough about how AMAZING this duo is, then I don’t know what will.
Throughout the entire wedding day, they were there for every important moment, moments that I didn’t even know were important until I saw them captured. They delivered the most perfect photos and captured each moment in the most artistic and magical way. There is no better, no team more professional, kind, caring, easy to be around, and FUN - which was SO important because we basically spent the entire day with them. They felt just like family/friends celebrating the day with us. They truly made our day THAT much more perfect and we will never forget them!
We have so many friends that are “ammature” photographers who could have done the job for next to nothing, but please believe me when I say it was worth every penny to have Sara & Chris, who are unbelievably talented. Starting with our engagement photos, they strived to make it the most comfortable and natural environment and it absolutely paid off and showed in the pictures. 110% recommend :)
Where do I even begin?! If you’re looking for a great photographer, look no further!! Everything about these two (Sara & Chris) are absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they r...
eally did go above and beyond for us! We had a positive case of covid-19 the day before our wedding and had to post-pone, and they made it so easy! Even creating a hashtag for us! #notcoldfeetjustcovid! Rescheduling was a breeze! They were extremely helpful & always available to answer any question I had! Sara was amazing at giving me different location suggestions for our engagement shoot, outfit suggestions, you name it, they were there to help! We were nervous because we had never had professional photos taken before and they really made it so easy, all nerves were gone once we started our shoot! We even included our puppy in our engagement shoot and Sara was amazing with him, even when he was testing my patience, she kept him occupied, even bringing him a toy! Chris was hilarious and constantly had us laughing and I know my husband and the groomsmen loved him! Everyone (including myself) is OBSESSED with all of our pictures! They’re absolutely breathtaking! Thank you, thank you for making our day better than I ever dreamed & for capturing the best day of my life thus far!
Can I give more than 5 stars please? Sara and Chris were so amazing to work with throughout our wedding journey. Not only did the photos turn out STUNNING, they made us feel comfor...
table in front of the camera and were so fun to work with. Sara was always quick to respond and provided great suggestions to make my visions come to life. When we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Sara and Chris were helpful and supportive in moving our date and went above and beyond to capture our mini ceremony on our original wedding date. These photos will be cherished by my husband and I and our families for a lifetime and I am truly grateful to Sara and Chris for all of their hard work.
Planning a wedding during covid was more than stressful. I was beyond blessed to have Sara and her amazing husband Chris as our photographers. Sara was more than helpful, gave grea...
t advice and she was encouraging. We were worried because we are not photogenic people but thanks to Chris and Sara they made us look like rockstars! The day of wedding day was crazy and they were able to navigate the day and keep us at ease. Sara and Chris captured every moment and have such a great eye! Sara has great communication and her photos come out amazing. They are so nice and great people, we were so happy that were apart of our special day!
Sara and Chris are AMAZING! they are so professional but fun! I can not say enough good things about them, Sara is quick to respond, so positive and creative! We originally had he...
r booked for our wedding in April but corona virus changed those plans to June, she was so accommodating and compassionate about our date change. on our wedding date they arrived promptly and immediately got to work. Sara and Chris were always where the action was and I never had to worry about them missing anything! All my guest are still talking about how awesome and fun the photographers were!
Just got our engagement photos back and they are STUNNING!! Sara and her Chris were amazing. My fiancé and I went in to the shoot very nervous but Sara and Chris put us at ease and...

hey were so fun to work with our photos are beautiful! I can’t recommend them enough!
Sara and Chris Purdy were the best husband and wife photography team we could have asked for. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera even though we normally are no...
t! The engagement shoot that is included with the package was so nice because we got an idea of what to expect on our wedding day. Even though it poured the whole time we were getting ready and through the ceremony, Sara got beautiful shots and was able to find places to shoot where we wouldn't get drenched. She knew getting photos on the dock at my wedding location was important and I am so glad she pulled us from cocktail hour during a break in the rain as they ended up being some of my favorite photos! I liked that she made sure we got all the group shots we asked for and the two of them made everything so easy. They are the most wonderful people who do fantastic work! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
I am so blown away at the photos Sara and Chris were able to capture from our wedding day. I can't stop staring at them! On top of being an amazing, organized team, they are such ...
a lovely and FUN couple. We had a blast with them, and they made us feel instantly comfortable (which led to incredible photos!). They truly captured all the love, emotion, fun, and joy that we and our guests felt throughout the day.
In the planning stages, Sara was so helpful and communicative - she even helped me find my makeup artist (Christina Burns - the best!!). We are so, so thankful that we chose Sara and Chris for our wedding and highly recommend them.
Sara and Chris are simply amazing wedding photographers team! Let them capture your special day and you won’t be disappointed!
Having Sara and Chris photograph our wedding was the absolute best decision we made when planning our wedding! They made my now husband and I feel comfortable from the beginning wi...
th our engagement photos and continuing on through the wedding day. Their photography skills truly captured our special day and it was almost impossible for us to pick a favorite photo! I recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for a photographer and would trust them with any of our families important events.
Sara is amazing! She has a very artistic eye and willing to go above and beyond to get the perfect shot. Our big day was captured beautifully because of Sara.
Sara and Chris are the most professional couple ever. Having them do your wedding you will laugh and smile for the whole day. With their photos they capture the whole day with su...

Sara and Chris were the best photographers a wedding couple could ask for! They were so easy to work with, very accommodating! Sara stayed in touch with me leading up to the weddin...
g making sure every detail was correct and making sure she had a list of my "must-have" shots. Her and Chris even took the time to drive us downtown after the ceremony and take some shots at Flagler College where I attended school. Throughout the evening they were both right there to capture sweet moments, silly moments, and everything in between! We had a blast working with them! They are friendly and fun and happy to fulfill any request! Please check them out!
Sara and Chris are an amazing team! I stumbled upon them when looking through social media for potential wedding photographers and fell in love with her style. They made the proces...
s so very easy for my husband and I during our engagement session and on our big day! There was a little hiccup with getting some shots but she offered a solution and took care of it right away. Would definitely recommend!
Honestly, I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Sara and Chris are at what they do. Sara and Chris without a doubt made our wedding day 100% better by being a part o...
f it. At the end of our big day, we not only felt like we would have the best wedding photos of all times but also like we gained two amazing friends! They made us feel comfortable and calm at all times and they found a way to make everything that we wanted to happen, happen. Don't think twice, book Sara and Chris as your wedding photographers. You can trust that they'll do an amazing job and have your back throughout your entire day. We 10/10 would use them again and we absolutely will be using them again for shoots in the future :)
Sara's work is absolutely STUNNING. Timeless and classic! If you are looking for a photographer with the sweetest soul and a ridiculous amount of love and talent, BOOK HER!!! As a ...
fellow photographer, I have gotten to see countless brides/grooms rave about Sara. As a friend, I have gotten to witness her pour love into her clients and serve them with amazing portraits and memories to cherish for a lifetime. I cannot recommend Sara Purdy Photography enough.
We were married in beautiful Florida in April, 2018, and highly recommend Sara Purdy Photography.
As we live in Wisconsin, we were nervous and overwhelmed with all of the preparati...
ons leading up to our BIG DAY. Our wedding coordinator at the resort provided a list of preferred vendors and after consulting with Sara, I knew she was the right option for what we desired.
Sara was incredibly helpful as we finalized our details and very willing to connect via phone and email. I was very pleased with her attention to detail as we embarked on our adventure.
The BIG DAY arrived and Sara and her husband, Chris, conducted "First-Look Pictures" with us. It was immensely emotional and each moment was expertly captured. Both Sara and Chris were friendly, upbeat, and respectful of our wishes. They stayed for the duration of our reception and interacted very positively with our guests. We had eight nieces and nephews in our bridal party- all age seven and under- and they were treated with patience and kindness.
If you are looking for a personal touch and strong customer service, please contact Sara Purdy Photography. We are so happy with our choice!
We got married on 12/28/17 at hammock beach resort and still receive comments on how amazing Sara and Chris were to work with. We’ve had multiple of our guests actually requests to...
order prints of their action photos from throughout the reception and the prints that we sent to our family and friends from the wedding were all beyond what we could ever hope for. If you’re looking for an amazing dedicated and talented team — you have found them. To give you an idea of our day we had a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at 10 am in the morning including a gate crashing and wedding games and then lunch... the traditional white wedding and our reception. It was a full 10-11 hour day that Sara and Chris managed to capture. You will have a friend for life with these two!!! Please feel free to contact me if you would love to see our wedding photos. I also have them on google reviews to view.
Sara and her husband were so willing to work with us at our daughter's wedding. They went above and beyond, waited for the weather and worked with the weather. We received the pi...
ctures within a few days of the wedding. That team was worth every penny we paid. I would recommend them 100x over.
Sara and Chris did an AMAZING job with both our wedding and engagement pictures. We are absolutely thrilled with the results! Sara was fully engaged and committed to our special da...
y from the moment we made contact. She was in constant communication with us throughout the entire process and brought so much enthusiasm to her work. We highly recommend them to all!! Thank you Sara and Chris from the bottom of our hearts!
I cannot recommend Sara and Chris enough! I was an out of state bride, and Sara quickly answered all my emails and made herself available for a meet and greet when I was in town. S...
he sends out a questionnaire to really understand your expectations and any special needs or requests, which she was flexible. I received a very detailed timeline for the day of; this helped me schedule hair and makeup, getting dressed, and we chose to have a first look (a must). Chris and Sara were right on time and their easy-going attitudes were a calm presence in an otherwise crazy day. They wrangled all of the bridle party and family members like pros and shot beautiful photos. The photos! They exceeded my expectations! I have photos of everything I asked for, and things I didn't know I wanted. I received a preview photo the very next day, and the entire digital library very quickly. They shot so many wonderful moments, it took me a while to decide on which prints I wanted, because I wanted them all. She also sends a high quality photo album where the pictures really tell the story of the day. I absolutely would recommend Sara and Chris, their work speaks for itself!
Since before I was engaged I knew I wanted Sara and Chris to be the photographers at my wedding. Fast forward to today, almost 5 months post wedding, I am so happy that that dream ...
became a reality. Sara and Chris provided me and my husband with the most beautiful photos to remember our day. Sara went above and beyond and was one of the best vendors I hired for our wedding day. She was always available to answer questions and was phenomenal the day of. If you’re still looking for a wedding photographer, look no further because you need to choose Sara and Chris!
Sara Purdy Photography was the absolute best choice we could have gone with. They not only take the most amazing photos, but they get to know you as a couple and listen to all of y...

We absolutely loved Sara and Chris! They are so professional, fun, and friendly! They made us so comfortable which was great since neither of us were big into pictures. They’re so ...
creative and very quick to respond. We loved all of our pictures!!! Highly Highly recommend
Sara and Chris are beyond amazing! They were so much fun to work with, and have a way of keeping you relaxed. Sara was so quick to respond to any questions we had leading up to the...
wedding day, and was super accommodating. She was organized and on top of everything on the wedding day, while allowing us to still enjoy the moment and not feel pressured or rush to get anything done. We were pleased with how quickly we received our pictures, and the quality and quantity blew us away. They literally captured every memory, and we are so thankful we chose them to capture our big day!
Sara and Chris are absolutely incredible! Not only are they amazing photographers, but they are also AMAZING people. My fiance and I were so nervous because we're not used to being...
in the spotlight but Sara and Chris delivered! They made us feel so, so comfortable! If you are looking for a photographer - look no more! We still cannot believe we were lucky enough to snag them for our wedding day next month! And yes - we feel like we're the lucky ones! We had engagement pictures last week and we have ZERO fears going into our wedding in 20 days. The dynamic team of Sara and Chris are helpful and are with you every step of the way! I'd recommend them every single second of every day! Happy Wedding Planning and Happy Forever!
Sara and Chris are fantastic! They are organized, punctual, professional, thoughtful and genuinely the nicest people you will ever meet. Sara took the time to explain to me all the...
options I had for wedding photography. She had a detailed timeline of how the day would go. They took the time to get to know us, and treated us like friends. We felt very comfortable working with them, which shows in our pictures because everything looks so natural. They captured every moment we wanted. I am obsessed with pictures, and I was beyond thrilled with the quantity and quality of photos we received. The pictures turned out beautifully! The images are very sharp, bright and clear, from the middle of the day in the blazing sun to night on the indoor dance floor, they all look wonderful. So not only did we have the perfect wedding with the best photos to hold the memories, we also gained two awesome new friends ❤️ I would highly recommend Sara Purdy to anyone who wants fantastic photography to document their special day!
Sara and Chris were amazing! We had an engagement shoot in Orlando, FL which happened to be on the coldest/windiest day of the year! They were troopers, and made us look amazing! T...
hey turned around the photos very quickly, and they looked great! We then got to see them again at the wedding, they were very professional, and laid back, and ontop of things! They took amazing photos, and we couldn't have asked for a better job! We highly recommend them, great job, for a reasonable price! Thank you Sara and Chris!
Sara and Chris have been amazing to work with so far! We're getting married next month and our engagement pictures came out wonderful, and we are so excited to see what our wedding...
day photos will look like! They work quickly and are very organized!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Purdys! Both Sara and Chris were so personable and easy to work with that even my camera adversion husband enjoyed our shoots! They...
made us comfortable and worked with our time table! They were patient with our crazy family and little kids and captured our wedding and engagement wonderfully! I would recommend them to anyone!!
Wonderful! They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and act like they have known you for years! Highly recommend!
