Sarah Canning Photography

If you want perfect photos, go with Sarah Canning. Before our wedding, I heard so many horror stories with photographers, I really really did my research. There are so many wedding photographers out there that are not good (in my opinion) and you can't tell they are bad because they put only their best photos. But with Sarah, literally every single photo is straight out of a wedding catalogue. When we did our engagement photoshoot, I knew I had nothing to worry about with Sarah for the wedding. She is great at giving directions, and she knows exactly what makes you shine. Our first look was at at the Rodin Museum and it was packed with people but if you look at our photos, it looks like it's just the two of us, in serenity. Our wedding was at The Franklin Institute and obviously she nailed those photos, but even the photos outside in pouring rain (under the canopy), were beautiful, just absolutely beautiful. If you want to make sure you look absolutely stunning in your wedding photos, go with Sarah Canning.

The BEST wedding photographer!! Sarah is extremely organized, professional, and very very talented. Sarah photographed our engagement photos about a year before our wedding day and we were blown away with her photography style. Our wedding pictures were even more amazing and truly captured every detail of our wedding day. Not only is Sarah an awesome photographer, she also helps with coordinating wedding day timeline and making sure the day runs smoothly. She sent check-in emails and tips for preparing for wedding day. Our wedding day was very stress-free and we didn't have to worry about running late due to Sarah's thoughtful timeline. We couldn't have done it without her! We 100% recommend her and her team to anyone looking for a photographer!!

Sarah and her team were great to work with - Sarah during all of the prep work and eventual editing turnaround and her lead and associate shooters on our wedding day. The turnaround time for our photos was quick and we were thrilled to be able to relive the day because what they say is true - the day FLIES by! I would recommend Sarah again for anyone interested in a kind, talented, and thorough photography team that delivered great service on time and with beautiful results.

Sarah exceeded all expectations we could have possibly had for a photographer. Not only is Sarah insanely talented behind the camera, but she's also experienced, detail-oriented, easy to work with, timely, professional and so friendly. From start to finish Sarah's communication was excellent. She was so organized, and quick to answer any questions we had. Our church ceremony ended later than expected and somehow she coordinated our huge bridal party (18 people), both our families, including tiny humans AND we even made it to most of cocktail hour. I truly can't express enough how lucky and thankful we feel to have had such an awesome photographer shoot our dream wedding.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful from the minute we booked her until our wedding day! She is so organized and makes sure you are on track through every part of the wedding planning process. On our wedding day she ensured that everything went smoothly and that we were on track with the day of timeline she helped us create! Her photos speak for themselves. I have gotten so many compliments on our pictures from our wedding. They are everything I dreamed of and more. Kevin and I had the dream wedding day, and a huge part of that was due to Sarah. We cannot thank her enough and will be recommending her to everyone we know!! Do yourself a favor and book Sarah, I promise you won’t regret it :)

We cannot say enough about working with Sarah! She photographed our July wedding, and the final pictures were absolutely incredible. They perfectly captured everything about the day that we want to remember forever. On the wedding day, Sarah and the associate photographer wowed us with not only the photos, but by how well they took care of us. In 95-degree weather, they dabbed our sweat, brought us water, and made sure we were comfortable. Sarah also made the whole wedding planning process a breeze. She was responsive to questions, had great advice, gave us plenty of time to complete tasks, and was very accommodating to our plans. We definitely could not have asked for more in a photographer. We highly recommend using Sarah Canning Photography!

Sarah was absolutely amazing. Not only is her work absolutely amazing but she is so great to work with. Throughout the entire process, she was so incredibly helpful, beyond patient and made everything at ease and go so seamlessly! I could not recommend her more.

I was initially drawn to Sarah Canning Photography because of how light, airy, and beautiful her photos were. Once I inquired with her, I was immediately sold. Sarah was so organized, detailed and thorough from the very start. She made the entire planning process so easy and seamless. She gave tips and suggestions for everything from what to wear for engagement photos to what to pack for the wedding day. Sarah also offers the option to have one of her associate photographers photograph your engagement shoot and wedding day for a discounted rate. We decided to go this route and had one of her associates, Ashley, as our photographer. Ashley was so kind, personable, and always made us feel comfortable in front of her camera. She has a ton of experience and is incredibly talented! We were so impressed with how she was able to make the most of our times together and capture as many photos as possible. We received our entire wedding album within a month of our wedding and were blown away by how quick the turnaround time was! All of our photos turned out absolutely stunning--we are SO obsessed with them! We would recommend Sarah Canning Photography to anyone!!

Sarah is AMAZING! Because of her amazing work, we have so many beautiful wedding memories that we will forever cherish. She really knows how to capture the vision you're looking for and is detailed and thorough. She is so organized, which made me at ease and helped take a load of stress off of wedding planning. She is incredibly kind and knowledgable. We found her on our preferred vendor list from French Creek, and we are SO grateful to have had her! She has shot there many times, so she knows how to get all the amazing angles and views. We are forever grateful for Sarah and her work, and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone booking a wedding!!!!

Sarah was fantastic, and we couldn't recommend her more! We love every one of the engagement and wedding photos she took of us. She was the vendor-MVP of the wedding because of how organized she was about everything. Starting ~6 months before our wedding day, she sent periodic emails with helpful information and reminders about photo-related and non-photo-related things that we might to know. She helped us think through all the aspects of our first-look, family, and wedding party photos and made sure we got photos of every combination of people we could ever want. She went above-and-beyond with coordinating with our other vendors. As an example, she reached out to our florist to have them bring our bouquets and boutonnieres to the hotel (rather than the venue) so she could photograph them early in the day. She got us our photos back (800 of them!) within about a week and a half and we love every single one of them. On top of all of that, she's wonderful to interact with. She's really personable, friendly, and professional. We highly recommend Sarah!

Working with Sarah over the last 1.5 years has been amazing! My fiancé and I fell in love with her natural, light-filled style right away and knew we wanted to work with her. She graciously came to NYC and captured our engagement session by the Brooklyn Bridge. On our wedding day, Sarah got to work right away photographing our wedding details as we finished our hair/makeup. She was efficient and we finished our shots early (which never happens!). Sarah posted a preview of our portraits the next day and sent our full gallery less than two weeks later, which is unbelievable. Throughout the entire process, Sarah has been an invaluable resource. She provided us with a guide of potential engagement session locations, tips for both the bride and groom so we wouldn't stress out the day of and a list of wedding details for flat lays. Along the way, Sarah also made sure we stayed on track, reminding us to send her a save the date/invite so she could photograph both, requesting our vendor list ahead of time, and working seamlessly with the event coordinator and entertainment on a timeline. Sarah was an absolute joy to work with and we couldn't recommend her more! She is extremely professional, responsive and easy to work with! Everyone was blown away by how beautiful our photos turned out!!!

Sarah is so unbelievably talented!! Not only is her work amazing, but she is wonderful to work with and makes the whole process (from engagement session, to planning, to the big day) so fun and easy! Highly recommend her and her team!!

There truly aren’t enough positive things to say about our experience with Sarah! From our almost two year process of booking her, taking our engagement pictures, planning together, our wedding day, and everything in between, Sarah was an absolute joy and delight to work with from start to finish. Even from our first conversation with her, Sarah was extremely organized, detail-oriented, and made us immediately feel comfortable and that our investment in her would be worth it. Our first time meeting and directly working with her for our engagement shoot was carefree, lighthearted, and eased any potential hesitations about being in front of the camera or what our pictures would look like in the end. It was so helpful to have some practice with her and a better idea of what to expect on our wedding day, and I loved getting to use the pictures for our save the dates since she prioritized our preferred timeframe even with her packed schedule. Sarah kept great communication with us from the moment we inquired with her up until even after our wedding day. She was so helpful in answering all of my questions and asking the right questions herself, brainstorming ideas, creating our wedding timeline, and even just checking in with us. On our wedding day, Sarah truly felt like a member of my bridal party in the best way! She hyped me and all of my girls and the moms up constantly, kept the environment light and fun, effortlessly maneuvered the whole day capturing everything, and even was the one who hooked my bustle before our reception. Her confidence struck me the most - I loved that I never felt like I had to worry about a single thing and that she had everything under control, which let me just relax and enjoy the day. Plus, her work simply speaks for itself! All of our pictures are so beautiful, we’ve received so many compliments already, and she had sneak peeks to me in 3 days (even on a holiday weekend!) and our whole gallery in just a couple of weeks. I know we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I’m so excited that I get to continue working with her on our wedding album! Choosing Sarah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I couldn’t recommend her more!

While you may be thinking that you are getting a great photographer when booking Sarah, you are getting so much more than that. It is clear that Sarah is amazing at her photography, design, and artistry - but she is also the sweetest person you could meet, she will be the calm in the crazy for you, she will buckle your shoes and clasp your bracelet, and she will be your personal comedian, hair stylist, and sounding board when there is so much going on around you. Sarah and her second shooter really made our day go by seamlessly. She set up the timeline for us, kept things running on track, and made me feel confident in my choices when I am traditionally a very indecisive person. I can't thank Sarah enough for her kindness, professionalism, and all of the hard work she put in to make our wedding day the perfect day! We can't wait to see the results of her work and to cherish the memories of our beautiful photos for years to come.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Sarah! From our first consult I felt at ease and knew we had to book her. She is so personable and made the planning process super easy and stress free! She gave us so much helpful direction during our photo shoots and made us feel comfortable and confident. She also provided us with an abundance of useful information to know for the day of the wedding so I felt very prepared. She is incredibly talented and the photos are BEAUTIFUL!! I could not be happier that we chose her to capture our special day. She truly is the best in the business and I will forever recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer! I hope to work with her again in the future! THANK YOU SARAH!

Sarah was phenomenal! Not only did she help to coordinate and plan our day with a timeline, but she was SO helpful the day of with shots! She held my dress, carried my bouquet, fixed my hair a billion times, she was AWESOME! And so down to earth! You can tell she really knows what she is doing and is just a natural! She doesn’t feel obtrusive on your wedding day at all, rather like a longtime friend there to help! We feel so fortunate we were able to book her and can’t wait to see all of our photos!

If we had to book a wedding photographer again, we would pick Sarah 100 times over! When we started our search and came across Sarah’s website we kind of had a feeling we found the right person for us. As soon as we reached out she setup a call so we could get to know each other and the rest is history. From there Sarah went out of her way through the entire process from the contract stage to the engagement photos to the months and weeks leading up to the wedding to make sure all bases were covered and we felt comfortable along the way. Day of Sarah made sure we got all the shots we wanted. It ended up raining on our wedding day and Sarah still created magic inside and in the rain 😊 We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding photographer experience so amazing! Would highly recommend!

Sarah was an absolute dream to work with! She's fun, organized, professional, kind-hearted, and extremely detail-oriented. When we had our engagement photoshoot with her, both my (now) husband and I were extremely nervous about how to pose and if we'd look awkward. Neither of us like to take photos, so we knew for sure we didn't know what to do during a whole session's worth of photos! Sarah made us feel so comfortable and confident about posing and taking photos that now whenever anyone takes a photo of us, we know exactly how to pose! All thanks to her! She is so amazing at what she does- from setting up the perfect photo to editing to delivery and all the details in between. She made everything feel so effortless and fun! She is very organized and knows exactly how much time each photo on your shot list is going to take and what the timeline of the day should look like. We were also so pleasantly surprised when she returned our wedding gallery back to us within a few weeks! That was our number one comment from our guests- "Wow! You have a phenomenal photographer! Her photos are incredible, and she got them back to you so quickly." Sarah is truly the absolute best in the business. She wants you to enjoy yourself and have fun, and she will be there to capture it! I am beyond grateful that she was our photographer on one of the most important days of our lives. I would choose her time and time again in any lifetime!

My fiancé and I had only booked our church ceremony before 1) he deployed with the Navy a month later and 2) COVID-19 hit the US a month later. We knew before he deployed that we would be making our big decisions via email, but I wasn’t expecting that I wouldn’t even be able to go see potential venues or meet potential vendors in person. I found Sarah, among other potential photographers, on Instagram, and from my first phone call with her I was sold (the glowing reviews online also helped me feel good about choosing her). The other photographers I spoke with did not leave me feeling as confident and supported and optimistic as she did, even as she was dealing with much more urgent rescheduling issues and even though I had not actually booked her yet. Choosing to book Sarah was the quickest and, in retrospect, best decision we made for our wedding, aside from deciding to get married! After we booked her, over the next few months I saw stories on her Instagram that she only had a few slots left for the 2022(!) wedding season and I was amazed that we were able to book her for summer 2021. After working with her for our engagement shoot and wedding and receiving our wedding photos (a month and a day afterwards – I don’t know how she got our ~1000 photo gallery finished that soon, with weddings to shoot basically every weekend!), I feel so incredibly lucky that we were able to get on her calendar. Sarah met us for our engagement shoot on a very cold December day in Valley Forge since that was the only time my fiancé and I would be in the area before summer 2021, and even though it was our first time meeting and it was freezing, our photos turned out like she had been working with us forever and I even managed to forget how cold I was with all of the (natural) laughing and smiling that happened! She put us both at ease and told us when we needed to tilt our head or move a hand for a more natural-looking photo, which I definitely needed help with. Knowing how Sarah operated and knowing we loved our engagement photos and experience with her as we approached our wedding date pushed a huge potential source of stress off of our plates. We felt confident that whatever happened on July 10th, whatever percentage of our original guest list was allowed to celebrate with us and however many photos would be taken with masks on and covering smiles due to local restrictions, it would all be beautifully documented, and we were right. Our wedding day felt like a fairytale in the moment, and Sarah was able to capture that happiness and joy with her camera and convey it in our photo gallery. But producing a stunning product for a very fair price isn’t enough for Sarah; we had family and friends telling us that our photographer was so nice to chat with and so funny and so efficient (this came from some recently-married couples/bridal party members who didn’t work with Sarah!), and it put a huge smile on my face to hear that my husband and I weren’t the only ones who liked working with her. As an added bonus, her second shooter for our wedding was absolutely lovely and they were on the same page the entire day. Sarah clearly communicates well with her second shooters, not only with her couples. If you have made it this far, let the length of my review be a testament to the fact that I cannot say enough good things about Sarah! Book her (and don’t wait!) so you can focus your wedding decision-making energy elsewhere.

Sarah was AMAZING. She is such a professional and knows what she’s doing. She is personable, very organized and easy to communicate with - just a total sweetheart! A wedding photographer is personally one of my most important wedding vendors to book, and Sarah met ALL my expectations. She was just wonderful to work with. The photos she delivered were incredible and we get compliments from everyone. I cannot stop looking at them! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer — and book her early since she is in such high demand!!

To say I was a scatter brain while planning my wedding is an understatement. I had no idea how much of a help Sarah would be in planning my day! Sarah helped organize my day and special features I wanted involved that were specifically catered to who my groom and I are as a couple. She had every detail ironed out and helped us relax and enjoy the celebration! Sarah also has a personality behind the camera that made it so much easier to be ourselves. She was kind, funny, and personable. We are beyond grateful to have had her be a part of our favorite day and, of course, our second favorite day was the day we got an email of all the photographs she took so we could relive it all again. THANK YOU SARAH🙌🏽

Sarah is an absolute dream to work with! She photographed my best friend's wedding a couple years prior, and since that day I knew I had to have her photograph my wedding! Her professionalism is unmatched and her photos speak for themselves! Truly the best decision we made for our wedding. We have been getting TONS compliments on our photos!

We used Sarah for our engagement photos and wedding at The Farm at Eagles Ridge and she is absolutely the best of the best!! Sarah quickly became a friend, not just a photographer. She is extremely talented, organized, timely, and a ray of sunshine for your big day! Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and she bends over backwards to make your day stress-free. We truly could not have dreamed of a better photographer and partner. We also used sarah for our album and she made it so easy!! We absolutely love all of our photos. Don’t hesitate to book!! You’ll be so happy you decided to use Sarah.

Sarah did an amazing job capturing all the details of our wedding! She made the planning process easy with reminders and short surveys to help her understand our preferences, and the photos are everything we could have asked for. I spent a lot of time researching wedding photographers and if I had to do it over I would still choose her. Highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible experience with Sarah! After your wedding day, you are left with just memories and pictures. We are so happy we found Sarah, she is professional, talented, timely and has an amazing eye for capturing the best shots/moments. During our engagement session, it was cloudy and the the light wasn't the best however she still managed to get stunning shots. For our wedding day, we were fortunate to have amazing weather/light and Sarah captured it so beautifully. I highly recommend Sarah!

Booking Sarah as our wedding photographer was the easiest and best decision that we made!! Not only is she an exceptionally talented photographer, but she is also so sweet and down to earth - exactly the type of person you want to work with on your wedding day. Our engagement photos turned out great and our wedding photos are absolutely stunning!! She was so organized the day of the wedding, and I had complete trust in her - which allowed me to relax and just enjoy my day. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

There are not enough positive adjectives to describe how we feel about our experience with Sarah. I reached out to probably 20+ photographers and I could not be happier with our decision to use Sarah as our wedding photographer. Our entire experience with Sarah from our engagement photo shoot through to delivery of our wedding photos has been seamless. Sarah knows how to capture the moment and make every picture one worth framing. She provided clear direction to get the right shots but made us and our wedding guests feel comfortable the entire time. These pictures are ones we will cherish forever and we are so thrilled with every step of the process with Sarah. Not only were we thrilled with the process during shooting, she provided us back our pictures quickly and in a format that made it so easy to share and download. I can 1000% guarantee that picking Sarah as your wedding photographer will not be one that you regret.

Choosing Sarah was one of the best, if not the best decision we made for our wedding day. Planning a wedding during the Covid pandemic was tough and a little uncertain at times, but Sarah made the experience so stress-free and still enjoyable regardless. When it came to the planning of our wedding day, we were able to lean on her for guidance which ultimately helped us plan everything else around our schedule with her. Our entire wedding party absolutely adored her, and we felt like she was one of our friends just taking pictures of us. The pictures are even more perfect than we imagined they would be, and we are so happy to have them to enjoy for the rest of our lives. It was the most incredible experience, and we still cannot thank her enough for capturing our special day.

Sarah is the absolute best photographer! She is so accommodating and was so understanding and patient when I had to postpone multiple times. From our engagement pictures to our wedding day we had the absolute best experience. Her pictures are absolutely stunning and speak for themselves. She is organized and makes a great schedule to make sure you get all the pictures you want on your special day. She knew the best locations to take pictures and helped me with the day of planning schedule to make sure my day went perfect. Sarah is absolutely amazing and definitely made wedding planning much easier knowing I was in great hands having her as my photographer!

Sarah was hands down the most professional, fun and talented photographer and we enjoyed every moment working with her for our wedding. She was so interested in learning about us as a couple and portraying our love story in such a unique way. She is absolutely a pleasure to work with and we are so obsessed with all of our photos!

Wow....just WOW ! Sarah captured our day so beautifully and perfectly. We could’t be happier with how everything turned out. Our wedding day flew by but thanks to Sarah, we get to go back to those moments through our beautiful photos. She literally captured every detail. I loved getting to see all of the details I missed the day of. Our venue did not have many places to take photos, however Sarah made it look like we were all over. All of our photos have so much variety to them. I was really excited about all of the candid photos Sarah took of us and our guests at the reception. I kept saying to my husband “do you think everyone had a great time?” after seeing the reception photos, I have no doubt in my mind everyone had a blast! It was so fun looking through them. Sarah made the entire process so easy. Our photos are so genuine, she really captured us and the emotions of the day so beautifully. She was so helpful and we loved working with her. I highly highly recommend !! My husband and I hope to work with her in the future for more milestones we make together. Sarah, THANK YOU so much! We appreciate everything you did for us.

We hired Sarah for our engagement photos and she was WONDERFUL!! Our wedding photographer is a friend who lives out of state and it was difficult to juggle schedules, so I reached out to Sarah on a whim to see if she might have any last minute availability and lucky for us, she did! From the minute we met Sarah, we instantly felt so comfortable and at ease. As two people who had never had professional photos taken of us before, we really didn't know what to expect, but Sarah exceeded our expectations! She was able to capture us having genuine reactions and laughs. Everyone who saw our photos commented on the joy that came through in them! We are so lucky to have these photos that Sarah took of us and highly, highly recommend her!!!

We can say so many positive things about Sarah!! Sarah is flexible, professional, TALENTED AS HELL, and truly an overall wonderful person to work with. Sarah traveled two hours to do our engagement shoot in the location we hoped for and went out to dinner after with us! She felt like a friend from the start. My husband and I finally got married on April 10th, 2021 at French Creek Golf Club in Elverson, PA after postponing 10 months due to COVID. She was so empathetic and did whatever she could to help us through postponing, making it so much easier on us. She then continued to keep in communication, worked with us to create a timeline specific for our day to ensure we got every shot we wanted, and always gave incredible expertise. She's funny and honest, which takes any stress away that you have! We loved how calm and helpful she always was while planning and on our day. Lastly, she is efficient. We received all of our photos back wayyyy ahead of schedule from the wedding and our engagement shoot. She worked alongside our vendors so well and we are absolutely thrilled we chose her as our wedding photographer! She's amazing!! Her work is impeccable and we will forever be grateful for the memories she's given us through her art!

Contact Sarah now!!! She is truly the best photographer. We loved working with her from the moment we met. Our engagement photos were beautiful and our wedding photos...absolutely stunning. All of our friends and family are still gushing over them nearly a month later! And that's right- she got our photos back to us so quickly after our wedding. She actually sent us a few the day after too! Aside from being an extremely talented photographer, Sarah is the sweetest human and will just enhance every moment on your wedding day. She pinned all of the groomsmen's boutineers, she placed my veil in my hair, and she just made everyone feel comfortable while taking pictures. I can't recommend her enough. This profession is definitely her calling and I feel so lucky to have worked with her!

Sarah is a GEM! She is truly magic behind the camera. From day one, Sarah put a personal touch on our relationship by meeting my Fiancé and I for coffee to sit down and get to know each other, as well as answer any and all questions. If you are anything like me, and are currently researching and researching photographers, I will tell you now that she was the ONLY photographer who offered to do this. I am beyond particular about my photos, and this automatically made me feel more comfortable when making a decision. Unfortunately our 1st Wedding was canceled due to COVID, and Sarah was the first vendor to pick up the phone to call me and ask if I was okay. She stuck by our side through MULTIPLE wedding dates and a venue change, and was nothing but supportive. Our Engagement Photos as well as are our Wedding Photos are absolutely stunning, and something we will cherish forever. Without a doubt, hire Sarah Canning. You wont regret it!

Sarah is absolutely incredible in so many ways!! She photographed my fiancé and I's engagement session last fall at Longwood Gardens, and we instantly loved her and felt at ease. Her photos speak for themselves and are absolutely GORGEOUS, and her energy, kindness, and care throughout the whole process was amazing. In our initial search process, Sarah was the only photographer who offered to meet us in person for coffee and really took the time to get to know us as a couple and walk through the process with us. I felt even better going into the engagement photo session knowing how thorough she is! At the shoot itself, she made us feel so comfortable and natural and had us giggling the whole time. We absolutely love how our photos turned out. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding, and are no longer able to work with Sarah for our wedding date, which I was so devastated by. However, Sarah has approached this whole situation with so much grace and poise, and has been so patient and accommodating. We were lucky enough to be able to have a mini session with Sarah around the time of our original wedding date, and we were so happy we got to work with her again!! Working with Sarah is truly like working with a friend, and we will cherish the photos she took for us forever.

If you are not one to read lengthy reviews, I want to sum up my review in the beginning for those who want straightforward guidance: Hire Sarah Canning! It will be the best decision you make in your entire wedding planning journey. I was a COVID bride, which gave me the opportunity to get to know my vendors on a whole new level as I saw them adapt to really strange, unimaginable circumstances caused by a world wide pandemic. I think I many people have an understanding that tough times reveal what others are truly made of. If that’s true, then the experience of serving couples in a pandemic only further revealed what I already knew to be true: Sarah has a heart of gold. She is professional, attentive, proactive (seriously, she anticipates everything!), flexible, and quite the hustler. Not to mention sweet and personable. Our engagement and wedding photos are truly the most beautiful photos I have ever seen in my life. I will treasure them forever. Sarah is gifted in capturing the unique characteristics of your relationship as well as the deep love you have for each other. She will help you both feel SO comfortable in front of the camera with her natural pose suggestions and sense of humor. Yes, even if you swear you aren’t photogenic or you hate getting your picture taken (I’m talking to you, grooms!) Sarah became more than my wedding photographer when I felt like my dreams were falling apart due to the pandemic. She became my support and my friend. She was our ONLY wedding vendor that initiated discussion about our plan B when I was too distraught and in disbelief to realize what I needed to do. She guided me through the difficult process of coming up with our plan B (a micro wedding of 25 people on our original wedding date of June 5th and a belated reception in August) and eventually committing to that plan as it was impossible to have our original wedding celebration with the state of PA at that time. Oh, and to top it all off, when our postponed reception in August had to be cancelled AGAIN just three weeks before, she was the first person I heard from. But she didn’t ask about details or the plan C, she simply asked “Are you okay?” And followed up with “I am so sorry, I am here for you no matter what you decide.” She graciously endured all of the changes and helped both days (the micro wedding and what turned out to be a back yard reception) run as smoothly as possible. I feel so blessed to have her beautiful pictures from both days. If you want someone who is more than just a photographer, but also your advocate, support, friend, dress bustle-r, sounding board, and bridesmaid mediator (yes, my sisters were bickering during wedding party photos at the backyard reception) then Sarah is your girl. But don’t worry, she is great at multi-tasking; she can do ALL that and take the most stunning photos you will ever see :) My husband and I plan on using Sarah for every meaningful milestone we reach in our life together.

Sarah was absolutely AMAZING!! Our original wedding plan was completely cancelled 3 weeks prior to the wedding date, so we scrambled to find a new location and new vendors. We called Sarah and we couldn't be happier that we did!! She quickly set up a phone consultation and had packages that were PERFECT for our new micro wedding. She spent time asking questions about our preferences and about us as a couple so that she would be able to seamlessly capture our day. Without even meeting prior to the wedding, we felt like we were in great hands -- and we were right!!! Sarah is so talented and did an AMAZING job capturing our day. Sarah made everyone feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day. We also received our photos so quickly! We would DEFINITELY recommend Sarah Canning Photography!! Thank you so much Sarah for giving us beautiful photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Sarah is INCREDIBLE! Sarah shot both our engagement and wedding photos and they are photos I will cherish forever. Sarah captures every emotion of every moment so elegantly. Not only are her photos amazing but she makes you feel comfortable through the entire shoot (no worries about feeling awkward in front of the camera). She felt like a friend to hang out with during our sessions and on wedding day she even helped me get ready! She held my dress for me through the dirt and caught me when I almost slipped in my heels. She returns photos promptly and they are of such great quality. The wedding album she puts together is a MUST. She even sent us a personal gift after the wedding which was the sweetest surprise. Sarah is truly so talented!

This past fall I was incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Sarah Canning photograph my wedding at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel. Sarah was such a love and treasure to work with from the moment I met her. Sarah’s online portfolio initially caught my eye, and I knew I had to have her capture what would be one of the most beautiful days of my adult life—and capture it she did! Words do not even begin to do Sarah’s photography justice. Sarah is a brilliant artist all around. She is personable, humble, innovative, creative, and professional. I knew that Sarah would be able to vividly capture my special day based on the breathtaking photographs she created during my engagement shoot. Sarah is on the brink of greatness, it is clearly in her destiny. When you look at her work, you too will realize that she will be a photographer whose work and reputation precede her—Sarah Canning will be a name that is spoken about and highly regarded on a national scale. My husband and I loved working with Sarah, as she made us feel comfortable and relaxed because the photography process felt more like a fun afternoon spent among a new dear friend. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah for whatever your photography needs are and you will not be disappointed. Sarah’s art of storytelling through her majestic camera lens will leave an imprint on your eyes as well as your heart. I am so glad to have worked with her before she is off in Cannes or Fiji doing more weddings and larger scale projects. Sarah, thank you so much for making our wedding photography dreams come true! XO

The first time I saw Sarah's work I was obsessed. We asked her to take our engagement pictures and it was a great decision. Sarah's communication is timely, clear and professional. She goes out of her way to get you the pictures you want and where you want them. We picked a location that was out of her travel range, and she even coordinated back-to-back engagement shoots so we could split the travel cost with another couple getting pictures in the same city! I remember being pretty apprehensive about the shoot, but she somehow made us so comfortable in front of the camera and feels more like one of your good friends taking your pictures! She captured some of the most amazing moments and we were thrilled with several of them. My only downside through our entire experience, was that my hair turned into a hot mess with the humidity and wind, so I tried my best to fix it. I would have appreciated if Sarah told me or guided me a little more that day to ensure we looked our best. With no mirrors, you really put all your faith into the photographer's hands to make sure you look right. Despite that, somehow Sarah was still able to capture so many AMAZING pictures. No session is perfect - but the vast majority of our pictures were. With all of that said, Sarah is absolutely FANTASTIC and a true artist. My fiancé and I are so awkward but I swear you would never notice from her photos. I appreciate that she is a perfectionist (like myself) and I absolutely trusted her the entire shoot. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and recommend Sarah to all of our friends and family!!

I liked Sarah from the second I saw her photos and spoke with her over email. She is very easy to communicate with, extremely organized and also fun to be around. That is the ultimate trio of personality traits in a wedding vendor if you ask me! She makes an effort to get to know you personally, delivers her work product lightning fast and her pictures are so beautiful, bright and airy. I highly recommend her!

SARAH IS MAGIC!!! From her friendly, laid back attitude, to her helpful wedding advice, to her DROP DEAD GORGEOUS WORK- she made our wedding what we always wanted it to be !!! So easy to work with, relatable and so much fun! Her team was so amazing as well! She has got some serious skills that need To be shared with the world! I would recommend her to anyone I know that is getting married. My family and friends also said how they have never seen more gorgeous pictures in their life !!! I’m beyond happy we booked with her and that I have the Most gorgeous pictures to keep for a life time ❤️

Sarah was one of the first vendors we booked for our 9/21/19 wedding - second only to our venue - and we booked her 2 years in advance!! Not only did we fall in love with Sarah's light & aesthetic, which you can see on her instagram page if you need assistance confirming your decision, but we instantly clicked with Sarah upon meeting her and happily discovered that we are all Penn Staters (yay!) Over the past 2.5 years, she's become more than our wedding photographer; she's been a friend to us! I've even texted her for wedding planning advice. I absolutely love her, her passion for her work, and the aesthetic she has created for her brand. She is amazing and we are SO happy with our pictures!! As a bride, your day will go by super fast and you want to be surrounded by people and vendors who inspire confidence - Sarah is the one you want behind the camera to capture your wedding day memories. Our new home is already filled with the gorgeous engagement photos she took of us, and I can't wait to decorate with the beautiful wedding portraits we just received. She is immensely talented, professional, and has a fab eye. Thank you, Sarah, for everything on our wedding day!

I can’t even begin to tell you how IN LOVE I am with Sarah’s work and service! My friend and owner of Alisha Nycole recommended Sarah to me for photography my engagement shoot/wedding. I instantly fell in love with her work when I checked out her Instagram and all the amazing photos she had posted. But it was actually when she scheduled a phone chat with me that my husband and I knew we were going to book her! Her professionalism, confidence, attention to detail, questions, feedback and everything else was incredible and put me so at ease. She immediately sent me a recap email after our phone call. I was blown away. I had inquired with other photographers and it doesn’t even come close to the same experience as I had with Sarah. I truly felt through the whole process that Sarah was listening and truly making my vision into a reality. I felt so comfortable with Sarah through the entire process! And if I had a question she replied so quickly with an answer. She is so organized and it made our wedding day seamless and go so smoothly!!! She truly got to know me so well and knew exactly what I wanted. By the wedding day I didn’t have to do anything, she did it all! Sarah had a photo posted by the next day on her instagram! It was amazing !! It’s only been 3 weeks and I’ve already seen a few sneak peak photos! Sarah will be my photographer for all things that come our way in the future. We love you Sarah and thank you for making our wedding photo dreams come to life!

Sarah was an amazing photographer! She was so accommodating from our engagement session, to the day of our wedding. (Both of which were in the winter and FREEZING, and our photos are so great, you can’t even tell we were cold!) She made me and my husband so comfortable and she had us laughing the whole time! She caught all of our special moments and so many details from our special day. Everyone LOVED our photos and I’m so proud to display them everywhere. After your wedding day is over, photos are some of the few things you have to look back on to reminisce about your wedding. Sarah’s photos exceeded my expectations, and left me with beautiful photos that I’ll have for the rest of my life to remember my special day. I’d HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!!

My fiancé and I had our engagement session with Sarah last year and we are anxiously counting down the days to our wedding day when we’ll get to work with her again! The photos from our engagement session are everything we hoped to get and more! Sarah made us feel so comfortable posing and we really enjoyed the time together. She got our engagement photos back to us quickly and even shared a sneak peak on social media. Sarah will put you at ease with her down to earth, genuine personality. We are SO excited for her to shoot our wedding in December!

Sarah is absolutely amazing to work with! She truly made us feel comfortable from day one.. from our engagement shoot to our special day! She’s was my saving grace through any “stressful” moments, completely down to earth, and her eye for beauty is unlike any other!!

Where do I begin with Sarah. She has to be the most down to earth person I’ve meet throughout this whole wedding industry! When we met for our engagement pictures, she made everything feel so natural. Not a lot of people are use to having their photos taken but I assure you she will make you feel like an natural 😉. Fast forward to our wedding day.. her communication was great and always made sure we stayed on top of everything that needed to be done !! I have no greater words than she is truly a miracle worker! Our wedding day was the most perfect day and she captured every inch of it. If you are EVERRR thinking of using someone as your photographer I promise you will not be disappointed. Not only was she our photographer but we also gained a lifelong friend. Thank you Sarah for everything. We love you !!!!

Okay, here's the deal: I scoured Instagram for a *long* time looking for who I felt would be my perfect wedding photographer. Once I came across accounts where I felt drawn to the work, I would then carefully look through the photographer's blog. Obviously, I wanted beautiful photos, but on top of that, I wanted to see emotion. I looked for photographs that told a story of the day. Photos that weren't overly posed, and photos where the couple looked comfortable. Time after time, I kept coming back to Sarah, because her photography is all of those things and more. Once my husband and I met and spoke with Sarah, we knew she was the only wedding photographer for us. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is kind, friendly, and makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos are stunning and truly capture all the emotions of the day. She is organized and extremely helpful, both on your wedding day and throughout the months leading up to it. I never had a question about what was going on photography-wise, and when you have a million things to keep track of on your wedding day, that is such a blessing! Something else I love about Sarah is that she'll always post a sneak peek for you in the days immediately following your engagement session/wedding, and you'll have all your photos back in a pretty quick turnaround time. If you're thinking about booking Sarah for your wedding, stop thinking and dooooo it! It's one of the easiest/best decisions we made for our wedding day :)

It took me a while to come up with the right words to describe Sarah’s outstanding skill and professionalism as a photographer. Beyond her talent, she is one of the kindest + dedicated artists you will ever meet. When we first met her at our engagement session, I knew we made the right choice – we spent 1.5 hours laughing and talking about food, it didn’t even feel like a photography session. The photos were stunning in every way [and to think we were so nervous it would be awkward!]. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was available for any questions we had. She made it easy to outline what specific pictures we were looking for, and how to achieve it without doing a first look. She knew we didn’t want to do one and adjusted our schedule to get ALL of our desired photos without feeling stressed. On the day of the wedding, seeing her immediately put me at ease – she jumped right in and did her thing, adjusted my hair and veil when it needed it, and even brought my HUGE bouquet of flowers over in her car “just because” it made it easier for me. The weather was on and off and she reassured me it would be okay – the sun came out and it was HOT, but you wouldn’t even know it from the end product of pictures. The associate photographer for the day was Kelly and she was equally as amazing. She was in charge of the groom and groomsmen and did a fantastic job at wrangling them throughout the day. We had a HUGE bridal party and Sarah led the charge of organizing everyone quick and easy through photos. Everyone listened to her as soon she spoke because she knew exactly what she was doing and how to do it. We had plenty of time for photos with just the bride + the groom without doing a first look and I cannot thank Sarah enough for helping us do that! Beyond portraits, Sarah captured the raw emotion of the day – there are some pictures of me walking down the aisle, getting ready with my mom and bridesmaids, walking out as a couple, facial expressions during dances and speeches that just could not be captured without immense TALENT and SKILL. She is positively one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I keep getting messages of how stunning and perfect my wedding photos are and I have Sarah [and Kelly!] to thank for that. The second our album was delivered I burst into tears at the sheer beauty she captured. If you want professionalism, kindness, and magazine-worthy pictures – book Sarah now!!

Sarah photographed our July wedding and all I can say is AMAZING. She was the easiest vendor to work with, was completely in control of every step of the day, and knew exactly what shots I wanted. We were able to do a first look, and get all bridal party and family photos out of the way prior to the cocktail hour starting! Sarah was in contact with me multiple times about the timeline and stuck to the schedule all day. I have yet to receive my final album but I already know from the sneak peaks how amazing the photos are. I can not recommend a better photographer, for a reasonable price point as well! Her assistant for my wedding day was Brittani and she was equally AMAZING!! Even being pregnant, she never complained once about the heat and she was able to organize 9 "rowdy" guys for many photos. Brittani and Sarah worked together like a dream and made all my worries for the day disappear. I absolutely loved having Sarah Canning Photography as a vendor and would recommend her a thousand times over. She had worked at my vendor before and was able to easily navigate the best locations for our pictures. She constantly fixed my hair and veil and dress and made me feel like I looked my best in every single photo. She even stayed a little later than contracted without hesitation to get a shot of the garter toss and surprise I had for the groom! We still get comments on our engagement photos and how beautiful they turned out and we cannot wait to see our wedding photos. PICK SARAH... You will not regret it!!!!

My family has had the pleasure of working with Sarah Canning Photography for several important family events, including my sister's wedding. Sarah does amazing work!! Her photos display an amazing talent and you won't be disappointed with the finished product. It amazes me the memories she is able to capture. She captured memories we didn't even know were happening because there is sooo much going on and you can't see it all. She stops at nothing to get the best shots (she climbed in a pile of snow). She did an outstanding job with all types of photos from their intimate first look pictures to large scale bridal party and family photos and let's just say getting that many people to listen and look (and smile) is no easy feat. Her friendly personality really shines through each step of the process and she is fun to be around. Our family is so fortunate to have our walls adorned with framed treasures of memories we will never forget thanks to Sarah.

What a terrible experience. Sarah did a great job shooting our engagement photos, so we were so excited to see our wedding photos. When she emailed us that they were done I did a quick look through and noticed she had taken not one photo of me alone in my wedding dress. I emailed her immediately and she quick sent through some random photos where I wasn’t even looking. She had to send away to have my husband photo shopped out so that I had a picture of me floating by myself. Beyond that the more I looked through, the more I was disappointed by the quality of pictures she had taken that it brought me to tears. Hardly any groups of people together, no photos of us with anyone at the reception. She did the BARE MINIMUM and when I questioned her on it she “didn’t understand” what I was talking about. The worst part of the whole situation was that it got back to me that she was asking other photographer friends of hers what to do since she screwed up. She was very unapologetic and acted as if it was my fault since it rained that day. The other photographer she contracted for the day, Kelly Pullman actually took a lot of great photos of the groom/groomsmen so save your money and go with her from the start. PLEASE don’t make the mistake I did and hire Sarah Canning. She is unprofessional and her lack of photography training shows in her work, anyone can throw a filter on a photo. This was my only mistake from my wedding day.

Sarah is outstanding. She rocks it from both the business side and the photography side - great communication from the beginning, exceptional talent, a friendly (and funny!) personality, laid back but efficient, super organized, flexible, creative, etc. The list goes on. I truly felt a sense of relief the second Sarah showed up on our wedding day because I knew she would help keep us on schedule, all while respecting our wishes and making sure to get every photo we wanted. We absolutely loved having Sarah as our photographer!!!

Sarah and her team are absolutely amazing! From the first moment we connected, I had no worries about working with Sarah for our wedding. She is very professional, organized and obviously takes the most beautiful photos! We had Sarah and Kelly shoot our engagement photos and Kelly and Brittany shoot our wedding. I can’t say enough good things about all three ladies. Kelly even arrived early on our wedding day and we booked an extra hour for the end of the night. Sarah helped us fill out a list of all our must have photos and Kelly and Brittany made sure we checked them all off our list. I died at our sneak peeks a couple of days after our wedding. Thank you so much Sarah, Kelly and Brittany! Seriously the dream team!

To keep it simple and to the point - Sarah is simply amazing and the perfect photographer in every way. From the moment we first started working with Sarah she was super accommodating and had such a contagious and wonderful spirit about her. At our engagement shoot, she immediately made us feel comfortable and made the whole process so easy. We absolutely loved and were blown away with our engagement photos and couldn’t wait to work with her again on our wedding day. On our wedding day Sarah and her staff were super professional and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment because we trusted that they had everything handled. They were super efficient with our time and never felt intrusive or forced.Honestly, hiring a photographer made me super anxious because I really cared about our pictures as we would have them forever but hiring Sarah was easily one of the best decisions we made in our whole wedding planning process. I would work with Sarah again in a heartbeat. Just check out her photos - they’re all breath taking and absolutely perfect in every way imaginable!

Sarah is absolutely amazing! She worked so hard to not only take beautiful photos for us, but to get to know us and make sure she knew before the fact what we wanted in order to make sure the day ran smoothly. Sarah and her second shooter Becca were timely, professional, easy to communicate with, and felt more like old friends. They worked together so seamlessly and were so in sync with one another. She is quick to adjust based on whatever unknowns pop up and knows how to get the perfect shot regardless of what’s going on behind the scenes. Sarah held my flowers, fixed my veil, and made sure I didn’t trip on my train while taking photos. I felt like I had a bonus bridesmaid! I would hire her all over again without a doubt and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Sarah is AMAZING. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also personable, friendly, kind, responsive & prompt with communication, organized, and funny! She truly takes time to get to know you and your fiancé and your values / priorities of your wedding day. Sarah has a way about making you feel comfortable, yourself, and confident around her, which transfers over to being in front of the camera. Which makes the pictures even more amazing! Sarah also helped so much with our wedding day timeline and knows how to make it allll work out. I cannot say enough good things about Sarah, I seriously LOVE her and think you'd be silly to choose anyone else!

Sarah is the BEST! I started following her on Instagram before I even got engaged because I knew that I would want to work with her when the time came. From the moment I met her at our engagement session, I knew that I made the right decision! She was super accommodating (we had gotten rained out multiple times) and made us feel so comfortable. We were nervous about posing in front of the camera but all the nerves went away immediately. For the wedding, we worked with her associate photographer Kelly who was fantastic! Sarah is professional, organized, and extremely quick at getting photos back to you. We had a sneak peak for our wedding the very next day! She even delivered our gallery early. She is by the far the best at what she does and I would recommend her time and time again! Not only is she an amazing photographer but she’s also a pleasure to be around. We are so grateful to have been able to work with her!

Sarah was so much more than our photographer—she was a helping hand, someone to bounce ideas off of, and a last minute hair stylist when my bangs got messed up by the wind :) We both loved working with her and would do it again in a heartbeat. Her work speaks for itself and her personality makes her a blast to work with!

Hiring Sarah was one of the best decisions we made! Aside from being unbelievably talented, she made us feel comfortable right from the initial meeting. She is so professional, organized, and experienced. She made sure she knew exactly what we wanted for our engagement shoot and wedding day and didn't miss a beat. On our wedding day, she showed me one of the shots she took on her camera screen and I legitimately had tears in my eyes. Sarah is so responsive, genuine, and easy to work with. We will treasure the pictures Sarah took for the rest of our lives. She captured every single moment beautifully. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Sarah Canning Photography!

Sarah is a pleasure to work with. She is just the right amount of laid back and in charge. Sarah captured very special moments throughout the day, particularly while getting ready, during the ceremony, and during speeches (she found other family members during those moments thG are so full of emotion). Highly recommend her!

I am beyond happy with our decision in hiring Sarah Canning as our wedding photographer! She was a pleasure to work with and answered all of our questions throughout our planning process. The style of her photography and her attention to all the little details is what sold me when I initially came across her Instagram. My husband and I had a great time meeting Sarah when we had our engagement shoot last summer in preparation of our recent wedding. Then on our wedding day, Sarah and her 2nd shooter, were so easy to work with and helped maintain order to our schedule when I began showing signs of stress. The initial sneak peek she posted a few days after our wedding were amazing and then this past Monday many more were posted and I literally cannot stop staring at them!!!! To say I am OBSESSED is an understatement and everyone who’s seen them cannot get over how stunning the photos are! Thank you again Sarah!!!!

SARAH CANNING IS AMAZING! She was absolutely one of THE BEST decisions we made in our wedding planning process. She followed us all around the city during our engagement shoot and made us (and our pup!) feel super comfortable. Leading up to the wedding, she provided a detailed timeline of the day that I used to help plan literally every other aspect of the day. She navigated the busy streets of Philly on our wedding day to get us all of the shots that were most important and did an amazing job capturing the emotion of the day... and she got us our photos back super quick! Not to mention her photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We are so happy to get to hang them up on our walls forever <3

I could go on forever about how perfect Sarah is. She is so professional, calm, quick, and organized. Our guests, family, and bridal party fell in love with the way she maneuvered through our day. We were so thankful to have someone that so quickly felt like a friend to spend our day with. The day after our wedding we already received over ten photos from her and they are beyond perfect. I think we might run out of wall space trying to hang all of our favorites. We love you Sarah!!!

I don't think I have ENOUGH positive and amazing things to say about Sarah! We were lucky enough to win a free engagement photo session from her instagram, and fell in LOVE with her photography - it was meant to be! She made everything in planning our wedding so simple and easygoing. She had an online form that asked great questions about our style of photography and what we wanted in our wedding photos, and helped guide us in making a list of family and friends we wanted photos with. She also put together the timeline for the day which made me feel a lot better. On the day of the wedding, Sarah and her assistant Alexis were amazing! My mom and bridesmaids didn't have enough nice things to say about Sarah, and even my husband and the groomsmen chimed in about how easy and nice it was to work with Sarah and Alexis. Sarah stayed on schedule and helped keep me calm the whole day while we were preparing for the ceremony and reception, kept us on track, and kept me informed about everything that was happening along the way. She even shared a preview of one of our photos within a few hours of the reception! We had an amazing experience with her and highly recommend her to anyone!! Thanks Sarah! :)
