When my now-husband and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding day, Sara was the first person we spoke with, and we chose SZP based on her professionalism and the photos we saw online. We got to know Sara over phone calls, and I knew...
we made the right choice. She provided suggestions on timing, listened to our input, and we put together our ideal timeline together. On the wedding day, we had Sara and Dan. I am the type of person who NEVER likes to take "solo" pics and I just don't love attention in general. With Sara and Dan, I felt zero of that feeling--it was actually incredible. They made me feel confident, fun, and carefree. Aside from how amazing they were on the wedding day to me, my husband, and our bridal party, getting the actual photos and seeing them was (and still is) the best feeling. My family, friends and I cannot stop scrolling through them—they are beautiful. Highly recommend SZP!!

Amanda was also amazing throughout the entire day. While we were doing final preparations at the venue before our first look Amanda made sure I was doing okay, constantly asked if she could help me with anything, and made me feel at ease. Sarah ran the Rock Your Photobooth and was awesome. Everything ran so smoothly and our guests had a blast taking pictures! I cannot thank this team enough for everything, they are truly first class!

Sara and her assistant were true professionals. From the time she arrived at my house with a smile and positive attitude and throughout the whole entire day. She made it easy for us to just enjoy our wedding day as she and her assistant made sure to get the best shots. They were detail oriented, being sure every shot had the best lighting and background.

Sara laughed and joked with my whole family and bridal party and she was like one of my bridesmaids! She helped with my dress and oh-so-long veil! So if someone asks you, “what would you change about your wedding day”?, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING should be your answer!!! All because you have Sara and Dan there to ease your worries, make you laugh, and capture your most perfect day! I look at my pictures and relive each and every moment perfectly!

Sara & her team photographed our engagement, our first covid mini-wedding, then our second bigger wedding/reception. To set the stage, I have zero imagination and had no "vision" for what I wanted... and I am also really uncomfortable having my...
picture taken. Long story short - I was pretty awful and had no idea what to do. Choosing Sara was the best decision we could've possibly made. She was beyond cool when I asked her to step into an alpaca farm for our engagement pics. Alpacas are unpredictable, and my husband & I are certainly no models even in an ordinary setting, but Sara knew exactly how to position it so that we all came out looking amazing. She gave us the right prompts to make sure we looked our best, but didn't pose us, so it looked like we knew what we were doing naturally (which we did NOT, she's just that good). Then covid hit. Sara was incredibly understanding and flexible to accommodate us, and also led the statewide initiative to ensure that we could safely proceed with our weddings as she helped draft the protocols! Having her with her thumb on the pulse of all the crazy changes was so reassuring. For our first mini-wedding, we worked with Dan. Dan is as talented as he is hilarious, which put me at ease & made it easy to smile naturally in pictures. He was able to corral both sides of our families to make our formal portraits quick and easy, even managing to get a smile from all 3 of my nephews.. at the same time... and they're all under six-years-old. Dan somehow managed to top his amazing work from our first ceremony at our 2nd. He feels like an old friend, which is what makes all his pictures come out so perfectly. Back to Sara - I am confident that she set a world record for fastest wedding picture turnaround ever. I won't say how quickly the first wedding pics came back because I don't want other people to have certain expectations, but let me say my mind was BLOWN. All 940 of the pics came back from our 2nd wedding so fast, and she was editing our photos while she was GIVING BIRTH. That's right, Sara's son was born less than a week after our wedding, and she still managed to produce amazing edits that captured what we wanted perfectly. One other quick nod to Rock Your Booth - it is absolutely worth it. Everyone loves a photo booth, the lighting makes everyone look glowy & flawless, and you get the pictures as files right after! (I used them to create postcards for personalized thank you notes.) Becky, our booth attendant, was the ultimate hype girl. She was so fun and sweet! To sum it all up: look no further. Sara Zarrella Photography is worth every penny. You are going to look at these photos for the rest of your life, so go with the best!

re able to get a glimpse at what her final product is like, amazing! Sara was enthusiastic yet relaxing through the entire process which gave us comfort when working with her during a time of stress. Not only were we planning a wedding, but we had to deal with the unknown restrictions that COVID-19 would have on our wedding. Sara’s professionalism shined during these times and we were grateful with how reassuring she was for us. Sara also assisted us in making our decision to have a first look. For us, the first look made our experience more enjoyable and Sara assured us that our ceremony would not be diminished, and she was right! On the day of the wedding Sara and Dan were easy to work with, they worked quickly but did not make it feel rushed. They took photos in an organized way but also captured moments on the fly and if a particular background caught their eye. The final product was breathtaking, and we could not imagine anyone else capturing our special day. When we look back at our photos, we do not think about a wedding during a pandemic, we remember the special moments we shared and how much fun we had! We are so grateful to Sara for all her help and look forward to working with her again, she is truly the best! -Victoria & Stephen

newborn's photoshoot. However, Sara handled my tiny baby boy with such love and compassion as if he was her own. She was so calm and patient when he got hungry and when he would not stay asleep. I fell in love with her photos and her attention to detail so much so that we hired her for our wedding photos, as well, without even considering anyone else. I am honestly so obsessed with our wedding photos, that I find myself looking through them in my spare time constantly. I tend to be a very self conscious person and sometimes shy in front of the camera, so as she quickly took her shots of my husband and I and our wedding party, I worried how I looked very much. I worried that my eyes were closed or that my hair looked terrible and I wasn't "photo ready" as she clicked away taking so many photos with little to no time in between. Once I received the wedding photos, I was reassured that I had no need to worry and I was SO thankful for all the pictures she was able to get because she worked so efficiently. I can't thank her enough for capturing what will always be the best day of my life! Thank you, Sara, for being so amazing at what you do. I also want to thank Dan who helped Sara out at the end of the night! You were also awesome and I thank you so very much for capturing the reception and all the craziness that ensued once there were lots of drinks consumed :)

pture not only the bride & groom but also your bridal party & guests in a way that you can feel all of the emotions of each individual relationship. She can capture the love between husband & wife, pride of parents & bonds between friends in a way that will make you live each moment over again as if you’re experiencing the day all over again. Not only from your perspective, but from everyone in attendance. From the posed shots to the candid moments between newlyweds, the looks of love & pride from parents & family to the silly & heartfelt moments between friends, she somehow manages to capture everything, with the help of her trusty little step stool . She takes the time to really know her couples, not just as clients but as people. She is friendly, courteous, and has the patience of a saint with children, party people & of course those bridezilla moments we all have. Her albums are simply stunning & worth every penny. She takes such care in even the tiniest of detail & is still able to produce the highest quality photographs really quickly for an excited and very impatient bride who cannot wait to relive her special day. Sara and her team are unbelievable at communicating & answering the same questions for the millionth time. I cannot recommend Sara enough to anyone getting married. There is no one else I’d rather have capturing every sacred moment.

Sara and Dan were very friendly and bubbly but not overbearing and made us and our family feel comfortable during our 5 hour (!!) photo session before the ceremony. During our hunt for a photographer, I must've read thousands of reviews and made a list of over 20 photographers I narrowed down, talked to about half a dozen on the phone - I wanted to ensure I had perfect photos of our special day! I finally narrowed it down to Sara based on her expertise of our venue, her friendly demeanor, and the beautiful photos we saw on her Instagram. I can say I chose right - our photos are absolutely stunning and both Sara and Dan were a pleasure to work with! One thing I wish I could've changed (although it is very minor) is that we realized later that there was a beautiful sunset right after the ceremony (our venue faced the ocean) and all of our friends got beautiful pictures with the sunset in the back and I felt like I missed out. With all that was happening, we didn't notice the sunset, and wished one of the photographers had grabbed us to take a picture. However, I got so many great photos to choose from that it really is such a minor thing! Highly recommend both Sara and Dan.

We ended up shooting our engagement photos on Sara’s family farm, which is stunning. My husband and I didn’t know what to expect and feel quite awkward in front of the camera, but Sara made us feel so comfortable and we ended up having a great time. She even put up with our poorly behaved golden retriever who was running wild, and managed to get some great photos of the dog with us 😊. Sara also helped us order our Save the Dates using a few photos from the session, and we loved them! We had a final details call with Sara before the wedding, where we went over all the shots we wanted, and walked through the photography/wedding schedule. Again, Sara was so easy to work with and really knew her stuff. She is also super flexible. The day of the wedding everything could not have gone any smoother. Before the wedding, Sara came to the hotel to photographer myself and my bridesmaids getting ready, while her assistant Dan went to the church to photograph the groomsmen. After the wedding ceremony we went to the venue to take the formal group photos. It was raining that day, which was stressful. But Sara reassured us our photos would be great. She was tracking the rain on her phone and ensured us it was going to stop—which it did! Both Sara and Dan were very organized through the formal photos and kept everything moving in the most efficient way (so we wouldn’t get rained on!).

our wedding day. I felt like I had my good girlfriend shooting my wedding! I also felt like I never had any questions for her because she lays everything out for you. With a packet of information when we first signed with her, emails with step by step directions and timelines, Sara definitely knows how planning weddings go! And when I did have my crazy moments, Sara was quick with her response time. Her images are just stunning to say the least! She had a way of just making us feel so comfortable and confident , especially my husband who hates getting his pictures taken. Between her and her second shooter Dan, our wedding day was covered beyond my expectations, capturing moments I never saw. We used her Photo Lounge too, which is much prettier than the other photobooths you see out there. She did a custom backdrop for us too, and our guests could not get enough of it! Sara also does boudoir photo shoots too, which I was apprehensive to do before our wedding. But figured it would be a great first anniversary present for my husband, and those images are amazing too! I know that I have found my photographer for life, looking forward to doing my maternity pictures and future family photos with her. You will not be disappointed with Sara and her team!

Hiring Sara (and team!) to photograph our wedding was by far one of the best planning decisions that we made. My (now) husband and I shared quite a bit of the planning responsibilities, but I was the one who tackled finding and hiring our pho...
tographer. I chose Sara above others for a few reasons: 1) She came HIGHLY recommended from an old friend, 2) As someone who loves photography myself, I adored her photos and the emotion she consistently seems to capture, 3) I spoke with her briefly on the phone before signing a contract with her and loved her fun yet professional personality. My husband and I met with Sara about two weeks before our wedding to go over ALL the details of the wedding day. I left this meeting without a doubt in my mind that Sara knew exactly what she was doing (and more) with regards to photographing a wedding. When we left this meeting, my husband immediately turned to me and said, "I definitely need to thank you for finding such an amazing vendor" (he does not hand out these compliments lightly :) ). On our wedding day, Sara and Dan (her second shooter) arrived on time and were ready to get to work! I loved spending time with Sara before all the craziness began. She was extremely professional and very systematic about her work, but was also very friendly and my bridesmaids, mom, and myself really enjoyed getting to know her. We received our photos much sooner than I had anticipated, and I am in LOVE with them! Sara did such an amazing job capturing our day. We've received numerous compliments from our friends and family on how gorgeous our photos turned out. THANK YOU, Sara and team, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Sara is absolutely amazing!! She is the epitome of what a photographer/artist should be, and operates her business with the utmost level of professionalism. I met Sara at the Block Island wedding expo and her shining personality immediately s...
tood out from the rest. It was "love at first site" and I told my (then) fiancé, there was simply no way we could have anyone else photograph our wedding! Throughout our two year engagement, she was right there with me through every step of the planning process, with open lines of communication, offering quick answers to all of my hundreds of questions via phone and email, even offering me advice on things that were totally unrelated to photography! Sara went so far beyond what she was "hired to do" and ensured every part of the day was captured smoothly and perfectly! There is literally nothing we could have asked more of Sara and her team, they handled all aspects of our wedding day like the pros that they are, and surpassed our furthest expectations without us having to ask! There was never a moment when we had to look around to find our photographer to catch a moment.... they were there, and they already caught it! (Without us feeling their presence, or even us knowing, in an extremely unobtrusive way!) Now unto her actual work... well that speaks for itself. She is an amazing artist with an incredible eye for creativity. Everyone who has seen our wedding photos has been so blown away, and we constantly hear how "artistic and beautiful" the photos are, that they "look like they belong in a wedding magazine," and how we look "so natural and relaxed." No awkward poses, just our day being captured from beginning to end without missing a beat! Sara was easy to work with and FUN, so nothing looked weird or forced. She listened to our ideas, and was even willing to climb out on rocks and cliffs to capture the images we wanted! There was not a single photo that I wanted that we didn't get.... she made it all happen and we couldn't be more thankful! The quality of the final prints and storybook album are just absolutely beautiful. I know some people opt to make their own albums (and I am a HUGE DIY-girl myself!) but I can tell you the final product she created for us was worth every single penny! On that note, I appreciated how clear she was in her prices and contracts; from hire date to receipt of our final prints/USB and delivery of our album, there were exactly ZERO surprises. She was extremely transparent about all costs, including travel, parking, (all those little things that have a way of adding up!) right from the beginning, and as a couple on a tight budget, this was very important to us! I cannot say enough positive things about my experience in working with Sara. I am so thrilled with our decision to hire Sara Zarrella Photography to capture our wedding day and think every bride should be so lucky to have a photographer as wonderful as her! I would recommend her to anyone with confidence and excitement, because she is simply, THE BEST!

After we booked Sara Zarrella Photography, our wedding coordinator actually said to us, "Congratulations on booking Sara." Her reputation is that good for a reason! So there is not much that I can say about Sara that hasn't already been said......
She is the absolute BEST, and if you are considering hiring her, you should stop debating and book her now! Sara and her assistant, Dan, were simply sensational. From my first conversation with Sara, I knew she totally "got" my vision, and was creative enough to make it come to life. Not to mention that she is so easygoing and awesome to work with, as well as polite and approachable to all of our wedding guests. On the day of the wedding, Sara was punctual and efficient. My husband and I did a "first look," which was so awesome to get all of our photos and the family photos done in advance. Then at the reception, her and her assistant took photos of EVERY SINGLE COUPLE at our wedding! I was blown away. The storybooks are a completely worthy investment, and some of the most gorgeous books I have ever seen. I couldn't be happier with Sara. From start to finish, she was just wonderful. I can't wait to do a newborn photography shot with her when my husband and I have a baby. BOOK HER NOW!
