About this vendor
Are you someone who likes to have a good time, is willing to laugh and cut-up, and prefers natural feeling photos?
Great! Because that is exactly what Sarah Bell Photography offers.
Throughout my 6 years of working in the wedding industry I have learned what makes my brides and grooms tick, what they love (each other) and what they hate, what makes them laugh, and what makes everyone feel uncomfortable (which we avidly avoid!). Because I have found my niche and know how to do what I love with excellence, my brides (and grooms!) find themselves feeling more comfortable in front of a camera than they ever thought possible! Specializing in natural light, natural posing, and having a good time, you're bound to have a smile on your face when we are done :)

- Wedding Photography Consultation: This is our initial meeting where we discuss what you are looking for in a wedding photographer, and a deeper explanation of what Sarah Bell Photography offers.

Very disappointed in how the package was sold to us considering how far away she lives alabama to eatonton, Georgia. From the beginning scheduling the engagement session was a big ...
struggle and we were told we would have to pay an additonal fee for travel that was not included in our agreement. This just didn't make us feel confident in the wedding package we purchased or her ability to make her customer happy. When we offered solutions we were only offered to waive the travel fee and no other options to help establish the rapport and confidence we lost. I would not reccomend using this vendor outside of her resident state of alabama after this experience.
Pre wedding Sarah was amazing, responsive and worked well with us to get what we wanted. Engagement shoot went great, got beautiful photos quickly. Wedding day went well, showed up...
on time and stayed the full time, getting more photos than promised. However things took a turn post wedding. She starting taking days to respond, and pushed out the delivery date 3 times. The last time she missed the deadline without any acknowledgment that she would not be able to make it. I did eventually receive our photos, which did look amazing, but they were almost 4 months after the wedding, with little communication. She did give us a coupon to her site for prints, etc to make it right but now I’m trying to get our wedding album ordered and same story, taking days to respond to simple messages, and not getting back to me on certain things. I’m not sure how many more months it will be until we see the finished product, we are currently 6 months post wedding. Seems like she HEAVILY prioritizes weddings in the future, but once you’re married, you drop to the bottom of her list.
Working with Sarah was amazing! My now husband and I worked with her for our engagement shoot and just had our wedding this past weekend. We both felt so comfortable with her guid...
ance and couldn't be happier with the service. Her and her assistant, Skyler, are extremely kind, hard-working, and professional, and not to mention, FUN to work with! We got a sneak peek at our beautiful wedding photos and are already so in love... highly recommend her!
Sarah did a wonderful job for our wedding. She captured every detail we could have ever wanted and more. We are so glad to have these wonderful photos that we can keep forever. She...
is also very professional, friendly, and full of great ideas. Definitely hire Sarah for your wedding!
We could have not asked for a better photographer than Sarah to capture our engagement photos! Being new to Georgia, we were looking for a photographer that knew Georgia well and c...
ould recommend the best venues. Sarah spend time getting to know our vision and helped us to find the perfect venue. After booking the session, Sarah sent us her photo guide to help us be prepared. The guide was full of amazing tips and helped us to feel prepared and excited for our session. When the session arrived, Sarah arrived early and brought an infectious energy. We could tell Sarah genuinely wanted to get to know our story. Sarah had great ideas to that brought our the best of us, and helped to build our confidence throughout the session. We left the session feeling like we had gained a new friend, and so excited to see our finished photos. When we got our photos back, we were beyond grateful we had chosen Sarah. Sarah over delivered in every sense of the word. Sarah delivered more photos than originally promised and completed the photos in an expedited timeline. Not to mention that the photos Sarah took were far beyond our hopes! We received so many positive compliments and were so impressed by the final results! We highly, highly recommended Sarah for all of your photo needs.
Working with Sarah throughout the entire wedding process was one of the best parts of our wedding planning experience!! Sarah is incredibly easy to get along with, flexible, and ve...
ry knowledgable in her work. All throughout the process, Sarah went out of her way to help with any questions, assist with any planning, and make sure we knew exactly what to expect for pictures on the day of. During the wedding day, Sarah captured so many incredibly special moments both big and small. Our wedding photos from Sarah turned out better than anything I could have ever expected. Every picture she took was stunning and the small, special moments she captured mean so much to us. Our friends and family raved about her professionalism, joyful personality, and the absolutely beautiful photos she took. I can promise you that you will be well taken care of, supported, and have wonderful pictures that you will always cherish when you choose Sarah as your photographer!
Absolutely amazing. Very professional and organized. During a stressful time she went over and beyond to make our day wonderful. Highly recommend.
Sarah is not only an excellent photographer but she differs herself from other photographers in that she makes EVERYONE feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has a lot of l...
ittle tips and tricks that honestly help SO MUCH! She's on time, appropriately "in the action," talented and SO SWEET!!! Highly resommend!
Sarah has been great from the start! Helping to get us through Covid...
I would say I am very unphotogenic, I am always awkward, stiff, and uncomfortable in front of the camera. Couple that with how nervous I was the day of my wedding, and I wasn’t exp...
ecting much from the wedding pictures, at least not from the pictures with me in them.
But Sarah Bell was great from the moment she walked in the door, she did a lot to put me at ease, and must be magic with camera, because she made me look a lot more suave and put together than I felt!
All of our pictures, of the bridal party getting ready, of the ceremony, of my new wife and I, and of the reception, look amazing. I can not recommend her highly enough!
Sarah was beyond amazing! She was the only vendor we hired for the whole wedding who was perfectly on time and went above and beyond to get us the most incredibly photos. Out of al...
l of our vendors Sarah was the only one that everything went off without a hitch with. It was so nice to have the peace of mind on our wedding day.
I am incredibly self conscious about my face being chubby and Sarah photographed me from all the right angles and made me look incredible! Looking back at the photos I have never felt or looked more beautiful. She was able to totally work with me and my insecurities.
My poor husband was so nervous the morning of the wedding and Sarah was so great at getting him to lighten up and feel comfortable and at ease to capture incredible photos of my husband looking like himself!
We had a lot of time restrictions and photography restrictions put on us from our church and Sarah was able to perfectly accommodate that while still getting amazing photos.
One thing that I did not appreciate enough at the time is her attention to detail and her love of detail photos. At the time I didn't understand why she wanted a picture of my invitations, shoes, and perfume. Or my husband's tie clip, socks, and tie - but all those little details really showed off my personality and made our wedding feel more special to us and looking back I am so happy that Sarah noticed those things and cared enough to document them for me.
When we first saw our photos they made me cry because she so perfectly captured all the important moments and emotions of our wedding day. She captured truly sweet and meaningful moments that I was too busy to even notice. Seeing our wedding photos really helped us feel like we were there all over it again! It didn't feel staged, it felt like US. My husband and I will be forever grateful to Sarah for making our wedding day so perfect and for helping us relive such an important day over and over and one day show our kids and our grand kids.
Sarah is the best! She showed up early to help with all of the last minute necessities, spent hours making sure we got all of the perfect shots & did all of it with a smile on her ...
face! I told her my vision for our wedding pictures and how I wanted them to be bright and happy and she nailed it! Sarah is so fun to be around and she made the process so easy-she helped us with different poses and answered my many questions about the entire process. She even had a timeline of what all we needed for our special day making it stress-free! I am so glad I found Creator’s Lens because honestly Sarah is amazing and SO worth the money!
The photos were breathtaking and Sarah was a joyful and professional presence at our wedding.
Sarah went above and beyond her line of duty before, during , and after our wedding to make our day as special as possible. Her photographs captured the essence of our relationship...
: the laughter, loyalty, and love. Not only did she produce beautiful shots of our wedding and engagement, but she also provided a supportive, knowledgeable, and positively directive presence. She expressed such a joy for wedding photography and made everyone feel at ease and that is saying something because my sweetheart is not one for enjoying the spotlight. Thanks again Sarah!
Sarah is so easy and fun to work with. She made us both feel extremely comfortable throughout all the photos; it was like having a good friend there to encourage and laugh with you...
. Sarah also has a great eye for out-of-the-box locations! We had planned to do most of our photos outside, but when the weather forecast didn't cooperate, she found the most incredible little spots inside our venue full of rich detail and gorgeous light. Our photos look and feel so unique and lovely because of it. We're so glad she was part of our day!
If you are looking for a FABULOUS, detail specific, professional photographer to give your wedding/rehearsal/boudoir photos a personal touch, look no further than Sarah Bell and Cr...
eator's Lens!! Especially as an Out-Of-Town bride, I had no hesitations that I had found the best person to capture our big day. Sarah spoke with me on the phone often and we swapped Pinterest photo ideas, and she even gave me lots of ideas I had not thought about so we were on the same page about which family member pictures we didn't want to miss, certain moments of the ceremony and the perfect angles to capture them before they happened, etc. I live in Ohio and got married in New Orleans, but once I met Sarah in person I felt like I already knew her! She went above and beyond and exceeded everything I could have dreamed of, with getting our personal style and that of the French Quarter. I felt so comfortable doing the boudoir photos that morning as I got ready, and we had SOO much fun!! I'm so glad we did all of that, from the very first morning photos (she captured all of my accessories, flowers, program - I would not have thought of that) all throughout the day until our Sparkler Send-off. I was so pleased and surprised when I received my photos so quickly, and that she had perfectly captured specific shots and angles just like the ones I had pinned on Pinterest! I don't know how she did it, and REMEMBERED all of those little details, but she did!! We ventured throughout the city and she eyed the perfect spots for our large group photos, and she kept everyone on schedule. I didn't ever have to worry about a thing. She gave me plenty of calm and confidence. She even sent us a beautiful hardcover photo booklet of some of the main photos of that day (I'm so sad my brother's dog got ahold of it) BUT she sent us a thumbdrive so we have all of the photos to print as we please :) I would choose Sarah again and again for all of our photography desires, I just wish she lived closer to Ohio!! To pull off a gorgeous, fun, New Orleans wedding, Sarah made it SO perfect. Thank you!!!
My husband and I were very young when we got married. We did not have a ton of money, but we did not want cheap basic wedding photos, and we stumbled across Creator's Lens thanks ...
to a blessed web search. She is incredible. She worked with us every step of the way from examples of what I had in mind from pinterest as well as her own creativity in the shots she thought up. Sarah's work is a reflection of her personality! She felt more like a friend than a photographer we simply hired. Because of that, my husband and I had such a wonderful time while taking photos during our wedding. She shot the memories we will have forever!
My husband and I decided to have an intimate wedding with just our family and a few close friends....it was important to us that our day was photographed with sacred simplicity.......
we wanted our photographs to capture the love we have for our family and the love we have for each other. Sarah listened and she understood what was important to us.....her creativity and her desire to make our day important was an unbeatable combination....because of her, our wedding story was told in the most spectacular photographs I've ever seen! She was able to capture more than we every dreamed of.....we were blown away by her professionalism, her honesty, her gift and even more important, her willingness to give us more than we asked for. My husband, who HATES having his picture taken, loved the way that she was able to capture scenes of joy and laughter without interrupting the moment....I cannot recommend Sarah enough and look forward to working with her again when other important life events come up. She is a rare find and working with her is a pleasure....Look no further when selecting your photographer, you will be beyond grateful she's your eyes on your wedding day.
I was so thrilled to have Sarah with Creator's Lens Photography capture my wedding ceremony! What a talented and gifted photographer!
I was so busy enjoying each and every moment,...
that I hardly knew she was there. Oh, but she was, and she didn't miss capturing anything!
I highly recommend trusting Creative Lens Photography with your most treasured moments!
