Sara Vars Photography

g your pictures taken all day can certainly be unsettling. She made sure to make sure we were comfortable and listened to make sure all of the shots we wanted were prioritized. She has a fantastic eye and a knack for getting the perfect angle without interrupting the flow of the day for even a second. Our guests were delighted with all of the great dancing shots she captured and my husband and I were in awe of the number of gorgeous portrait shots she was able to capture in such a short period of time. We opted for a package with a second shooter and Sara brought along Molly Humphrey (@artisticimagezbymollyhumphrey) who fit in beautifully. This pair is willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot, even if that means lying on the grass to capture that perfect angle. We loved working with Sara and Molly and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer in the Maryland/DC/Eastern Shore area! You won't regret it.

, she met us at the final venue walkthrough and worked with us to find the best photo spots. It ended up raining on our wedding day, but Sara ensured we still got all the photos we wanted. Sara was fun, calm, and responsive. We already received some sneak peek shots and we love her style and ability to capture the genuine moments. We highly recommend Sara for anyone seeking an outstanding wedding photographer.

t ease.

queeze in so many fabulous photos in a short time period with a lot of moving parts. There are so many lovely posed and candid photos to choose from. She is the BEST!!!!

Everyone who interacted with her at the wedding raved about how sweet she was, absolutely recommend !

on my wedding day, I knew, if anything, I wanted great pictures to look back on. In the wedding photographer search, I had browsed portfolios and made over 50 wedding photographer inquiries in the DMV area. When I came across Sara Vars’ photography website, I instantly connected with her work. Her elegant and timeless photography style was exactly what I was looking for without breaking the bank. Upon the first consultation with Sara, I immediately knew I had to book her as the wedding photographer. Sara is very inviting, attentive and makes photoshoots fun. She has great ideas for photographs. For our 100+ guest wedding, she covered all the details beautifully from start to end. I even had guests tell me how awesome Sara was during our wedding -she was on the job! My husband Michael and I are very thankful we have these breathtaking photos to look back on for years and years to come. MANY THANKS to Sara! Best, Jeanie

nds and family. I honestly don't think she put down her camera the entire night, there were so many to pick from! I am so glad we booked her, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! Also, her prices are very reasonable!

day from the signature cocktails, to our ceremony, to the dance floor shenanigans. She helped keep us on track through family/bridal party photos and her photos turned out beautifully!!

back and how she captured everything was so much more than we could have asked for! As we start a family we hope to use her again! Thanks Sara for documenting the memories!

le multiple times, and Sara was great about working with us through that. We finally got to have our wedding, and the photos were amazing!!! We had a large wedding party and she kept us right on schedule and was very familiar with our venue, so she already knew the best picture spots! The day was full of many special moments and Sara captured everything so perfectly. Everyone is still telling us how beautiful our wedding photos are.

We went over what we (the bride and groom) wanted from our wedding photos, and she NAILED it! She captured such genuine joy from the day from every angle. During the shoots, Sara would ask us if we had preferences, take everything into consideration, and ultimately we gave her the reins because we knew she would make us look amazing :) She truly captured the essence of the wedding, and the fun of our big day! (and was ever vigilant about COVID guidelines!!) We cannot recommend Sara Vars Photography enough.

profession. She took amazing photos of our daughter and son in law's wedding day- from start to finish. I loved how she was 'stealth' the entire day, and yet captured the feel of the day beautifully. She was timely in getting photos back to us. We requested a 'slide show' for those who could not attend due to Covid-19 and we had that to share within the week. It was amazing and I think now posted on her website! The feedback from family and friends has been outstanding. In fact, after seeing the photos a client of a friend booked her on the spot! True testimony!

we were unable to meet Sara in person until the day of our wedding. However, upon actually meeting her, I felt like we had met a hundred times. Sara was so great to work with!! She made everyone feel so comfortable, kept us on time and captured some amazing candid moments. I absolutely LOVE our wedding photos and highly recommend Sara Vars.

fter speaking with Sara I immediately knew I wanted her to do my wedding. She is so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. Everyone also commented about how wonderful she was! She found such amazing settings at our venue to get gorgeous shots. It rained at the end of our outdoor ceremony and for the rest of the night, but she found a way to use the rain to our advantage by taking some really awesome photos of us under an umbrella. We absolutely love all of our photos and are so grateful that we have such beautiful pictures to remember our special day!

day, her timely delivery of the photos, and of course the amazing quality and variety of the photos. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Thank you again Sara!

wedding day by and I could not be more grateful. On our wedding day, she showed up and immediately began taking pictures; she worked nonstop all day! She always seemed to be there when I wanted a picture taken and was proactive in taking pictures we had not talked about, like getting a couple shots in front of the most gorgeous sunset! She navigated all the crazy family picture combos so naturally and everybody commented on how great she was! Thanks so much Sara!!

and concerns very promptly via email and is able to adapt to last minute requests. She is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. The photos turned out absolutely stunning!

whole process. And the wedding day...I'm still amazed at the fantastic job she did. We had a massive wedding party and Sara was able to get the most efficient bridal party and family shots I have ever experienced. They all turned out beautiful! I'm so grateful we found such a wonderful person, both behind the camera and in general, to photograph our wedding. I would recommend her to everyone!

s, we literally stopped traffic. Sara was so easy to work with. She really captured who we are as people in our photos. I honestly can't stop looking at them.

ust 25, 2019 in Edgemere, Maryland. The newlyweds had selected Sarah Vars to be their photographer, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. In addition to being a highly skilled photographer (an artist), Sarah was very pleasant and thorough. As my husband was still recovering from a broken ankle at the time of the wedding, he as not fully mobile at the wedding. Sarah went out of her way to let us know when “important” events would be occurring so that my husband could make his way (slowly) to the appropriate location to witness these once in a lifetime events. Ross and Katie, as well as the rest of the family, leaned heavily on Sarah. Sarah was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. There is no doubt in our minds that she deserves a lot of credit for this event’s being a huge success and leaving the entire family with some cherished memories to view in years to come. Please feel free to use us an extremely positive reference. Thank you, L and C

they’ve ever seen. We agree!! She is organized, fast and great at giving nervous family members direction in photos. Our planner confirmed that Sara also has some of the best pricing in the area. We loved being able to add a second photographer to our package to make sure all angles of our big wedding were covered. Thank you, Sara!!

o talk to, and makes you feel so comfortable. I was very worried about making the right decision when it came to our photographer, and honestly we couldn't have made a better decision! Our family and friends had nothing but amazing things to say about Sara, and we couldn't be happier with the way all of our pictures turned out!! Highly recommend!!

meline! I was a little nervous about having only one photographer for a large wedding, but it seemed like she got all the important angles and I didn't notice her presence at all during the ceremony, which I loved. My husband is not a huge fan of pictures, but she made him feel comfortable and from our sneak peek I can already tell they turned out great. She is also very friendly and personable, very fun to work with. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a reasonably priced, talented wedding photographer in the Baltimore/DC region.

our engagement shoot as well as the entire day of our wedding. We had her bring a second photographer as well and both women were absolutely amazing! Both my wife and I were extremely happy with the experience we had with Sara Vars Photography.

ptured the most beautiful photos during our wedding ceremony and reception without being a distraction to our guests. She is an absolute joy and I will always recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

dding. The pictures turned out more beautiful than I ever dreamed. Also she is just a wonderful person, was able to go with the flow and keep me on track. She made sure to get the shots that I will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Sara! I hope I have an event in the future so I can work with you again.

we met her, and continued to do so at our engagement session and on our wedding day. She gave us the guidance we so desperately needed and made everything so fun. Not to mention, the pictures she took are breathtaking. Working with Sara as your wedding photographer will be the best decision you’ll ever make!!!!!

era. After our engagement session with Sara, he told me how comfortable he felt. He actually said it was fun!!! It really was! Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely beautiful! We have so many hung around our house. It was impossible to pick favorites. Our family and friends all told us how much they loved Sara as well. Her personality is just great and makes the big day so much better! I would highly recommend Sara Vars Photography!

or and recommended a 4 hour package that would provide us with the coverage we needed. She got all the shots we asked for and the pictures turned out beautifully. I would definitely recommend Sara!

os turned out beautifully, and she captured not only what we asked her to get, but also photos we wouldn’t have thought to ask for. We can’t say enough great things about Sara! We’re so happy she captured our day for us!!

ushy and of course I thought that her portfolio was simply beautiful. She was so kind and helpful through the whole process and answered any questions/concerns that I had. When working with her for our engagement and wedding photos she gave just enough direction without going overboard and made it fun. She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, it was like we had known her for years. You can tell that she truly cares about her clients and loves what she does. I’m beyond thrilled with my entire experience and have recommended her to several people (and will continue to do so)! Thank you so much for everything!

ase, and like I was in good hands, and her portfolio sold me!! For the wedding, Sara and Molly were true professionals. Our timeline for the day got turned inside out due to unrelenting rain, but they showed up prepared in rain jackets and had enough of the cute clear umbrellas for the bridal party to use. We were limited to Bancroft for taking bridal party photos/romantics after the wedding, and family photos were moved to inside of the reception hall during cocktail hour, but Sara and Molly were so flexible and very creative with their shots (and worth mentioning- they were able to get 60 family photo combinations in an hour!!) Throughout the day Sara kept me relaxed, truly made me feel special and let me enjoy the day. And now that I have the pictures back, I'm absolutely blown away!! From posed romantics to formal family portraits to candid dancing shots Sara captured everything, even somethings I missed. There's not a single photo I don't like, and I don't feel like I missed out on any photo opportunities because of the rain- in fact, Sara managed to get some incredible shots with it!! (that's me in the rain photo with the umbrella!!) You truly won't have any regrets hiring Sara, and I'm forever grateful that we did!

don't have enough wall space! I highly recommend her she was super easy to work with, easy going and always responded to any questions quickly. She even managed to get my husband to smile and he hates taking pictures :-) She doesn't just take pictures she tells a story, hire her today!

ied about a single thing besides being happy about your big day. Multiple guests from my wedding have dubbed her the hardest working person at the wedding, and my husband, who was pretty hands-off about anything wedding related, could not stop raving about her on our way home from the wedding. I would recommend Sara again and again to anyone looking for a photographer, she really was amazing!

ally warm and welcoming and put us at ease while also capturing some amazing photos, a ton of them actually! Considering the back-breaking work at the wedding and hours of editing photos, we also found the price very reasonable for engagement photos, Sara's work during the wedding, and the extra cost of a 2nd photographer for part of the time. During the wedding day, Sara and Molly coordinated so we could meet for our first look and they were pros at capturing the list of shots we had sent - so fast that we had a lot more time for photos of just my husband and I before we headed over to the ceremony. They both really outdid themselves - scaling Federal Hill to get different photo angles, politely taking everyone's photos who asked, and laughing off the antics of my husband's groomsmen. Sara put up with our guests and family members and did her best to make sure everyone was looking at her camera rather than the iPhones other people were trying to use. Sara even went the extra mile at the end of the night and stayed longer than we expected to capture some amazing photos at the end of the wedding! She also reminded us of photos we wanted to take during the reception of certain groups of our guests and helped coordinate to find everyone. We couldn't be happier to have hired Sara for our wedding! She is such a pleasure to be around and also a pro at herding/organizing large groups of people and getting all of the photos we wanted! We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!

ir vision. She got to know me and my husband over the months of planning and was so wonderfully communicative during the process of planning our wedding that was a destination for us. We loved being able to have Sara do our engagement shoot as well! During that time we got to know how she worked and we were able to get used to working with her in front of the camera! Fast forward to our wedding day - and a surprise snow day at that and everything went off without a hitch! Sara is a genuine sweetheart and is unbelievably accommodating! The snow added an amazing backdrop for our photos, something you could not plan for and she went right along with it executing shots with her eye and creativity. When getting delivered our photo gallery, my husband and I were able to relive our day all over again! She captured the most genuine moments of our day and I’m forever grateful!

e had many sets of family members to be photographed and she flew through them. She captured all of the small details beautifully, one of which was a picture charm on my bridal bouquet for my Dad and brother who had passed away. It was in almost every picture and I was amazed at how clearly it could be seen. If we ever are in need of a photographer again, we will definitely be calling Sara!

our engagement pictures, she made sure we were enjoying ourselves and really got to know us. She captured so many perfect moments at the wedding, down to the little details of the day. We got so many photos and I could look at them all day! The album she made for us with our favorite pictures (let's be honest, it was so difficult to narrow it down to just 24 photos) was such a great touch and something additional for us to treasure.

, photos with our son….she did such a great job she even was the photographer at my mother-in-law’s wedding just a few months ago! Sara has documented so many of the significant moments in our family and I couldn’t trust anyone else to so artfully and authentically capturing these important times. Working with Sara has always been a delight – and clearly we keep coming back for more. Obviously, her photographs speak for themselves, but I can attest to the wonderful working relationship she brings to the table. In the beginning, when certain poses didn’t feel like “us”, Sara didn’t push, but adapted to capture our natural norm. She made all our family feel at ease, and was sensitive to blended and nontraditional families as well. When we ask if we could try certain setups she was always willing and able to adapt to our requests. Sometimes reviews just don’t do someone the justice they deserve. As long as we are here, Sara will be our photographer for life! Thank you again and again for your amazing work!

day that meant the most to us. She was so easy going and fun to work with and never made us feel rushed during our pictures. Sara always remained professional and never get frazzled, even when our 1 year old puppy was running around like crazy because she knew how important those pictures with our dog were to us. Sara was extremely responsive during the whole process, and was very flexible when we had to change our wedding venue a few months before our wedding date. The photos that Sara delivered were simply amazing and I couldn't believe how quickly we received them. I can't say enough great things about Sara and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!

al party, and even larger family, truly shows how professional and organized she is. She is so easy to talk with, and any time I had a question, she would never fail to get back to me with detailed answers in a matter of hours. If you want not only stunning photos, but someone who is extremely professional and a blast to work with, Sara is your girl!

y and start getting organized. The for the engagement shoot, she provided great tips for us ahead of time and was so ready to go day-of. For the wedding, she had a second photographer and both were great! They were everywhere without being in the way. They didn't miss a moment of the day. After the wedding, we got our photos, both the blog preview and the full wedding photos SO quickly (under 1 month). They really did a perfect job of capturing our day, who we are, our friends and family, and the fun had by all. Our package included an album and we had the entire printed album and flash drive with all photos less than 2 months after the wedding. I can't say enough great things about Sara Vars Photography!

that I could trust someone with something so important. Thank you for everything Sara, I could never say that enough!

are AMAZING). During our engagement shoot, she made my husband feel comfortable (which was great, because he's not a big fan of photos), and was so fun to work with. On the wedding day, it was so relaxing to work with Sara--she made me feel (and look) beautiful. She's incredibly sweet and funny, and was everywhere during the wedding. Every time I turned around, Sara was there getting another great shot, and she caught plenty of moments we didn't even know were happening. Both sets of parents (and everyone else I showed pictures to, which was essentially everyone I know) LOVED the photos, and when my mom is happy, everyone is happy. I can't say enough great things about Sara!

the camera. During our engagement session, Sara did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and helping us to have fun and enjoy the experience! The photos turned out gorgeous! She was incredible during the wedding itself as well...a true artist and pleasure to work with!
