Sarah was AMAZING for our August 2024 wedding and our engagement photos! My husband and I are both shy in front of the camera, but she made everything so fun and natural. Sarah was...
very responsive and available anytime we needed anything. Highly recommend!!
Sarah Babcock was a wonderful photographer from start to finish- she was kind, understanding, and professional through all the phone calls, texts, and changed plans. We decided to ...
put on our dresses a week early to do a first look rather than engagement photos and they are just perfect- she is timely about getting the photos back and they are MORE than what we could have asked for. She was worth every penny and planning conversation (which she made easy) and I hope to hire her again someday! I’ve already recommended her to my friends getting married soon because they are so enamored with our pictures. Thank you, Sarah!
Sarah was the photographer for our outdoor, backyard wedding and an engagement session and we had such a great experience! I didn't have a lot of specific inspiration in mind for p...
hotos and Sarah guided us in finding locations, and even providing suggestions for outfits, that really fit our personalities. She made the whole process so simple and fun and guided us through all of our photos sessions so they were something that we really enjoyed! We will treasure these photos!
Sarah was an absolute DREAM to work with! She is so incredibly talented, fun and kind. Sarah did our engagement photos and wedding photos and absolutely crushed it. It was a tradit...
ional Hindu wedding and Sarah was amazing about capturing all the important moments. She was so patient with all the family and guests and really brought the magic to capture the day. I would recommend her over and over again!! Really helped our dream day come true.
Amazing. The photos…her knowledge and experience…everything! I can’t say enough good things about Sarah. She is an artist with her camera. She sees things in a way that only an exp...
erienced professional can. On top of her photographer duties, she was constantly checking on me to make sure I was taken care of throughout the day - she is genuinely just a wonderful person and absolutely worth every penny. I will be highly recommending her to everyone I know.
Words can hardly describe how thankful I am to have had Sarah as my wedding day photographer! Not only is she extremely creative and talented, she is a joy to be around and a pheno...
menal person! When choosing a wedding photographer, it’s so important to have someone who is willing and able to direct the show to get the shots you want while also sticking to the timeline. Sarah was able to accomplish that with ease and is very obviously well experienced. She offered multiple styles of photography and was open to any and every request we had. She made everyone feel so comfortable throughout the night and was so willing to coach everyone on poses for the most flattering photos! I would choose Sarah as my wedding photographer 1000x over again!
We loved having Sarah take photos for our wedding! She was professional and made our day fun. We got our final photos back and we could not ask for better pictures!
Sarah is going to be our wedding photographer in May 2024. Part of our package was an engagement shot and I cannot tell you how amazed I was. My beautifully awkward finance and I h...
ave never looked better than in her photos. We also brought our dog and got some really sweet and adorable pics of us as a family. The best part was how easy and fun she is. It made all of the awkward moments feel normal. 10/10 would always recommend and so excited to see what amazing memories she captures during the wedding day.
Sarah was an absolute gem, worth her weight in gold. From the initial meeting to the final photo delivery, she made us feel special and turned the stressful parts of the day into f...
un, memorable experiences. Her talent and attention to detail were exceptional, capturing not only the big moments but also the subtle, candid emotions that made our day unique. With a warm personality and genuine enthusiasm, she created a comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. If you're looking for a photographer in the Dayton area, I wholeheartedly recommend her—she surpassed all my expectations.
Sarah is an amazing photographer. She did both our engagement and wedding photos, and they turned out fabulous. She is an excellent communicator, very friendly, and patient. S...
he was able to tailor the sessions according to our individual needs and was able to capture many amazing photos. We were also very pleased with how organized and efficient she was in taking the photos. There was very little down-time between shots and she was very thorough & professional. She often checked-in to ensure we were satisfied with the process and we never felt pressured. Sarah also worked very seamlessly throughout the wedding with her team to capture every important moment. We'd highly recommend her to anyone as their wedding photographer!
I am obsessed with Sarah Babcock Studio!! I knew she had to be my wedding photographer after seeing her work from a family member’s wedding back in 2018. I had high expectations an...
d she exceeded them. Sarah has a brilliant eye for detail and our gallery is full of amazing candids of us and all of our favorite people. She and her assistant (other Sarah) helped me and my husband relax and feel comfortable in front of the camera even in the most stressful moments. I will never forget that she let me wipe my sweaty face on her shirt before our first look! I could not recommend this studio any more. I will treasure these photos forever and ever!
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with! She is prompt with communication, flexible, and professional. Not to mention she is HILARIOUS and had us cracking up during our photos at ...
some points. You can truly tell she wants to make this all about the couple and goes to extreme lengths to make sure you are taken care of. The entire flow of our wedding day was so seamless thanks to her. Not to mention, her work is absolutely stunning! I would hire her over and over again if I could. If you want your wedding to be an absolute dream an a piece of cake, choose Sarah!
Sarah was easy to work with. Before the wedding, she helped us create a timeline for the day that made sense with photography and on the day of she was an absolute professional joy...
. My husband and I don’t particularly love taking pictures but she made it enjoyable and was able to get our awkward selves to be comfortable. The final product just as beautiful as we could have imagined. We would recommend Sarah to absolutely anyone !!
Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with. She is so fun and professional and made our wedding even more relaxed and fun. Her photos are incredible and I truly would not have wante...
d any other photographer for our engagement pictures or wedding day. 10/10 recommend and will use her in the future for any other family pics/special occasions we need photographed. Thank you Sarah!!
Sarah is just.... wow. Not only an INCREDIBLY talented photographer (coming from another *amateur* photographer - jealous!), but just an awesome human being as well. Being photogra...
phed in tuxes and suits and dresses can be a super stressful experience, but not with Sarah. She has not only an amazing eye for her photos, but just a genuine personality that you really don't find these days, and it put us so at ease - it was like taking photos with a friend.
Not going to lie, I was kind of dreading meeting Sarah to do our engagement photos - we had only met once or twice over Zoom, and I was like "Oh, this is going to be a slog". Wow, was I wrong! We had so much fun with Sarah during our engagement photos that I was genuinely looking forward to having her with us on our wedding day, and Sarah did a MAGNIFICENT job.
We couldn't imagine our wedding day without Sarah capturing all of the special moments. Do yourself a favor - if you made it this far, don't look any further. Sarah is where it's at - I guarantee you.
Sarah, if you're reading this, thank you so much for being such a huge part of our special day, and we love you!
Sarah is one of the best, most experienced photographers we have worked with!! She is thoughtful of your vision and elevates it to the next level. She is patient, makes you feel co...
mfortable in any environment, and easily adapts to new situations. She even provides a sheet to fill out beforehand so she can focus on what is important to you, knowing that the photos are what we’ll truly have left after the event. Even after you receive photos, she is easily reachable by email/text to help edit photos to ultimately make sure you have the collection you want. Trust me, you will be lucky if you can find her on a day off, highly highly recommend! :)
Sarah is amazing! She is fun, talented, professional and supportive in whatever you need & want. You absolutely will fall in love with her kindness and personality. She is crazy ...
talented! Her photos capture your pure heart and love...no cookie cutter shots with her. She will make your photos unique to you. Sarah was the best decision I made with our wedding! The day will fly by so quickly but your photos will last a lifetime... trust me and choose Sarah Babcock Studio!
We used Sarah for our engagement and wedding photos and I have to say I was extremely impressed with her skill, professionalism, attention to detail, and the amount of fun she brou...
ght to each session. I do not think I could have found a better photographer to capture our day, and I feel extremely lucky to have booked her. Sarah has an eye for catching a good shot, and she will not miss it! She spent the entire wedding day with us, and carefully listened to my requests. I was anxiously awaiting the family pictures as I have a blended family and my husband's family is huge, so I figured it was going to be an unorganized disaster- but Sarah made these pictures seem so easy and organized, it didn't take long and there was no stress. She has given us a few preview shots from the wedding day and I fell in love with each and every one of them! Again, Sarah Babcock is an extremely talented individual, if you book her you are in the best hands!
Sarah is INCREDIBLE! My husband and I looked at a lot of different photographers for our wedding and after talking with Sarah and looking at her gorgeous photos, it was a no-braine...
r. We hired her to do our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and our wedding and we have been so happy with our decision to go with Sarah for such important events! She was super sweet and fun to work with and made all of the events that much more enjoyable! I was happy to have her by my side all day, especially during some of the more stressful and chaotic parts of the day. She remained cool, calm and collected at all times (even when all our plans had to change due to rain for an outdoor wedding!) It’s so obvious that Sarah is a seasoned veteran and easily and confidently took charge. My husband thought that taking photos all day for our wedding was going to be miserable, but Sarah made it quick, painless and actually fun! We have a LOT of little nieces and nephews also and she was so good with the kids and getting them to look and grabbing the shot quickly so that they could go back to doing what kids do. So far we have only gotten a few sneak peeks, but those few shots alone are absolutely incredible! Multiple people have told me that the photos look like they could be the cover of a magazine – we CANNOT wait to see the rest! Sarah has a real eye for getting a great shot. We had a blast at our engagement shoot and Sarah does a really great job of getting to know the couple and captured our personalities perfectly. She is honest and helpful in the planning process and makes sure that you get all the pictures you want, but still have a chance to enjoy your party! I truly cannot stress how fantastic she was and cannot recommend Sarah highly enough! If you’re considering her, DO IT and thank me later! ☺
My husband and I just recently used Sarah for our wedding and it was the best choice we could have made for a photographer! Prep work for the day of was so smooth and easy, and day...

raphy, and editing. She is SO much fun to work with! We worked with her for our Engagement pictures and our Wedding pictures and she did a phenomenal job!
I highly recommend working with Sarah for any event, but especially Weddings! The pictures are amazing! We plan on working with Sarah again soon!

In addition to Sarah just being an amazing human being, she is one of the most talented and professional photographers we know! We are always continually amazed at the quality of images she provides our clients and us! We know when we work with her we will never be disappointed! We can not recommend her enough to couples and other vendors looking for an amazing photographer!

d guide us to make pinterest dreams a reality. More importantly though, she caught all the little moments that were unplanned, yet totally perfect. If you are looking for the best in the area, look no further!
Sarah is the best and captures wonderful memories. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
We had so much fun with Sarah! We adore her creativity and couldn’t have been more pleased with our pictures!

Sarah has the best personality and she did such an amazing job helping us remember our special day forever!
Sarah is one of the kindest individuals you could ever meet. Her huge smile is contagious. Her photographs are so unique and truly capture how everyone is feeling that day. You ...
can see the love between the newlyweds in the photos. She is a vendor that also embraces, "love is love" photographing all couples. Sarah is on the cutting edge with new ideas and her drone shot of Leah & Jake in June of 2017 was not only amazing but has won awards.
Sarah has the best creative eye. Her photos always amaze me. She is my go-to for modern, eclectic, unique photos. You can always see and feel the passion in her work.
Sarah has a gift for capturing the perfect photos!
Sarah's photography style is so beautiful, but what makes her an incredible wedding photographer is that she also gets to know you, your style, your family, and what is most import...
ant to you on your wedding day. She really listens to what you want and knows to ask the right questions to ensure you won't regret missing a photo with a special person or capturing a special activity. My MIL even noted that she didn't feel like Sarah only paid attention to the bride, which can often happen. My husband's family felt important and taken care of. She also prides herself in finding special random moments throughout the day to capture. Sarah's beautiful photos certainly speak for themselves but what's behind the photos are really what makes Sarah worth hiring. We are so glad we did. In fact, I hired her as a gift for a family member's wedding!
This review is long overdue and embarrassed to say over two years late. Sarah was phenomenal and everything we could’ve asked for and more in a photographer. From capturing our lit...
tle moments in perfect detail to her creative ideas while keeping our wedding day vision in mind she truly made our wedding day and memories literally unforgettable. There’s not a day that goes by that my husband and I don’t see at least at one of our wedding photos either at home, in office or at or family and friends homes. We are so happy we went with someone who not only knows what they’re doing but also has an unprecedented passion for doing so! Sarah continuously kept trying new fun and innovative ideas at each session and on our wedding day. We put our full trust in Sarah coming from a couple who are not very good at having a picture taken we knew whatever she did would be awesome and just went with it. From the moment we met Sarah we fell at ease and completely trusted her vision and expertise. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure to capture all the tiny details and hard work I put into our wedding. It meant the world to me that she cared enough to write a “shot list per se” just to make sure she didn’t forget any tiny details. A week before the wedding she had me list everything that we got and made special to us just to make sure it all got captured. I know one day we’ll love looking through the wedding album with our children and showing them all the fun and goofy ideas we had to make our day special. We also can’t thank Sarah’s enough for the beautiful family portraits she took. None of them look forced/posed or unnatural. It was amazing to see her patience with us while taking so many different complicated family group pictures not to mention while getting everyone wrangled up, posed, smiling, looking at the camera (eyes open) in the best lighting and make it seem effortless. Picking Sarah to capture our special day and to execute one memorable engagement session in the OSU stadium… (Go bucks!!!) in under 60 minutes was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. We can’t wait to have Sarah photograph the rest of our special moments in the future. If you’re looking for one of the best photographers who truly cares about their clients, has a passion for all the little details and captures the most beautiful photographs I’ve ever seen not only in Dayton, Ohio but in perhaps the whole world look no further.
Oh my gosh Sarah is more than I could have ever asked for! First of all, her photography skills are incredible. I saw her portfolio on the Knot and knew I had to book with her. She...
’s so fun to work with too which makes it even better! She is so light hearted, creative, and funny. Working with Sarah took away any nerves we might have had about having a photography session. She definitely knows what she is talking about. I trusted her opinion so much that I asked her about other parts of our wedding not even related to photography. Sarah is the best and I will use her for every occasion that I need pictures for. I’m so thankful that we had her for our wedding!!!
Sarah is, by far, one of the most creative and talented people I have ever met. She took the time to meticulously comb through the details I had envisioned for me and my husband’s ...
wedding day and found a million creative ways to make my dreams come to life. Not only does she have an expert eye and a keen sense of detail, she goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease. We felt so connected with Sarah that we had her do a newborn shoot when we welcomed our little guy into the world last fall. Sarah is our photographer for life and I am so lucky to have her share in all of our special moments.

The utter and absolute best! I can't say enough about Sarah. She was accommodating, understanding, adaptable, and kind. We had a bunch of people taking pictures and videos at the ...
wedding, and she was able to get her shots without being rude to our guests.
I looked at a good bit of photographers' work before I decided to call Sarah. And her's was the best that I've seen of photographers in an hour radius.She's caring, receptive, and personable. She will be me and my wife's life photographer... she just did my wedding and I'll be calling her to do our pregnancy shots. If you want photos that capture the moment, the occasion, and the environment; while still letting your personality shine... she is the one. I didn't think I could look so good in pictures

ssful. She also provides so much guidance with wedding planning tips and her online questionnaire and timeline worksheets. I was able to develop a timeline for the day-of using her online tools and I used this timeline for all my vendors. This was a big help for me as a bride planning it all myself! It helped make everything go so smoothly! My husband's immediate family is big and there are lots of little ones, but the day-of photos went so smoothly. A photographer who can organize and capture such beautiful photos of our crazy families is worth their weight in gold!! So many of the photos that she has taken are so artistic and I cannot wait to proudly display them all over our new home together! She notices the small details and helped us feel comfortable so that our pictures do not look stiff in our poses. She captured our love in such a beautiful way, and I am so pleased with the pictures she took that will forever remind us of how perfect our wedding day was! I highly recommend Sarah Babcock for any photography needs. She is the best!
Sarah did just a great job with our wedding photos and with our engagement photos. If you're looking for the best photographer in the Dayton area, look no further. She is so sweet ...
and fun to work with! Our photos are absolutely breathtaking and she captured our day perfectly.
