Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do — that’s my job.
I’m a Las Vegas wedding photographer with over 17 years of experience, and my goal is to make the photo part of your wedding feel easy — not like a performance you have to get through.
Most of the couples I work with start out worried they’ll feel awkward in front of the camera. I guide you when it’s helpful, step back when it matters, and keep things moving naturally so you can stay present and enjoy your day.
Every wedding is different, so I take time to understand what matters most to you — whether that’s meaningful portraits, candid moments with loved ones, or the energy of the celebration.
Also, one unique thing about my approach to shooting weddings is that I give my couples all the images I take and collaborate with them on what images get final editing. This way they are part of the retelling of the visual story of their day.

Hi I'm Sarah and I was born & raised here in fabulous Las Vegas (one of the few #vegasborn). My family has always been in the wedding industry so it was natural for me to develop a passion for photographing weddings. I am a mom to 4+a bonus kid and life is anything but boring! I also have a husky & shepherd who are my editing buddies and make me a proud dog mom; even if their hair has taken over my truck! My favorite vice is Starbucks so let's go grab a coffee and chat!

We had the absolute best experience with Sarah Jay Photography! From start to finish, Sarah has been such a joy to work with. She is not only incredibly talented and creative, but ...
she’s also so fun, friendly, and down-to-earth. From the moment we met her for our engagement shoot, she made us feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She directed us with such ease, silliness and kept the mood natural, and she captured the most genuine, beautiful moments between us.
When it came to our wedding day, Sarah went above and beyond. She brought such amazing energy to the day, organized, professional yet so fun, and made sure everything flowed perfectly and that she got every shot we wanted. She was everywhere she needed to be without ever feeling intrusive, capturing every little detail and emotion so effortlessly. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how sweet and fun she was to be around, and it truly felt like having another friend there with us who happened to be taking incredible photos.
The photos we’ve received so far, both from our engagement shoot and the wedding, are absolutely gorgeous, beyond what we could have imagined. The colors, the lighting, the emotions… everything looks so timeless and full of life. We are so grateful for the memories she’s given us to look back on forever.
We can’t recommend Sarah Jay Photography enough! If you’re looking for someone who’s not only a true professional but also genuinely cares about her couples and brings amazing fun energy to your special day, Sarah is the one. Koa and I cannot thank you, Sarah, enough!

captured our elopement day as we got ready, around the hotel, casino and outside shots and every single one came out stunning. We are shy people in front of the camera but she directed us with kindness and turned us into models for our big day! She knew exactly what we were going for just off of a few inspo pics. Location, timing of day, people/pups that we wanted included, she captured it all flawlessly. I am so grateful for her effort and professionalism…and will now go back to staring at all my beautiful wedding pics that I just can’t get enough of!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Let me preface this by saying my husband and I have been together a total of 10ish years (married for 5) and I can probably count on my f...
ingers how many photos we have together. Why? Because we are probably the WORST at photos. No matter how hard we’ve tried in the past the only photos we ended up likings are candid photos that someone snapped or by the grace of the universe we got lucky.
So when it came to do our vow renewal ceremony I was a bit panicked on how we would do for our photos. Especially since we were coming in from another state.
Sarah was a dream from the beginning! I gave her a fair warning in advance that we were so bad at taking photos and she reassured me during the whole process that she would get us the best photos and SHE DID. She made the whole experience fun and provided us with directions so that the photos were taken organically and we never felt that awkwardly “pose and smile” feeling during our time with her. The whole day was just laughter and we had a blast with her and our friends who joined us for the renewal.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough and if we could we would have her take all of our special event photos! Even my friends who joined us wished they had Sarah as their photographer for their day. If I talk my husband into another renewal in 5 more years and I’ll know exactly who to reach out to for photos. Thank you Sarah!!!

Sarah is an absolute must!
She fit right in with my family and even danced with us.
She made us feel so comfortable when posing, and really made sure she got those candid photos....
When my parents saw the sneak peeks they couldn’t help but cry.
We loved having you Sarah!

Hi Yates!
Thank you for your feedback. Even in the rain, your wedding was a stunner! I ...
truly felt like you trusted my creative direction and allowed me the opportunity to prove to you that your day was the one all little girls dream of. I think my favorite parts of your wedding was the signing of the ketubah (a first for me) and your light up sneakers that you rocked during the reception. Your guests were also very lighthearted which made my job easy. I'm so happy you love your photos.
Best wishes my friend!

I know sometimes downtown can be a little sketch to out of towners but I'm so happy you loved the locations we shot at and I know your husband had a literal blast with the champagne pop! Don't worry, my cleaning off the sticky spots of my camera was totally worth that shot!!!

posed photos to candids, which are my favorite, she was great at it all. I knew she was gonna be great from our first email. She's so helpful, listens to what you want and don't want, has an eye for detail. ALL OF IT! What's even better, she sent us a gallery of sneak peeks the very next day already edited! Makes me so excited to see the rest of what she captured!!
Our friends and family loved her too!! Means a lot to have someone be so outgoing, helpful, and talented when it comes to such a huge part of your big day!!!
If you're looking for a Vegas photographer, Sarahs your girl!!!!!

I was a hot mess and didn't know what to even prepare for or how I could help her. She picked out beautiful spots to capture my wedding outfit details, she captured so many laughs and did a phenomenal job capturing every moment that I know my husband and I will cherish. Sarah was also very professional and my family loved her vibe too!

sure to work with. Even though you had a little of the expected bridal jitters, I appreciated you allowing me to not only document them but help you through them. You are definitely one of those brides that will feel more like family to me. Oh and your caterer provided the best wedding meal I've ever had (so excellent choice)!!! Good food and love mixed with a kick ass Mexican dance off will always be my memories of your day.
Best wishes my friend and cheers!

The impressive and talented Sarah, of Sarah Jay Photography, is the perfect example of when skill and professionalism meet. Her artistic prowess with the film medium had my guests ...
at ease, as well as myself. When you are in the crazy final stages of getting married, there is so much to worry about but after meeting Sarah I knew I had one less thing to stress over. She captured our day with a beautiful, unique perspective. Trusting her on one of the most special days of my life was one of the best decisions I ever made! If you are lucky enough to book her for your event I know you will not have any regrets. With her incredible work ethic and amazing style, Sarah’s personality shines through in her work. We are forever thankful, Sarah!

Sarah is the kind of person that you want to be friends with, even after your event is over. I don't even know where to begin. Sarah did my engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos ...
and from the very beginning, I warned her that I never know how to pose or what to do with my hands. When you look at my albums, you'd never know. I immediately felt comfortable with her and she was so amazing at coaching me through the poses.
We had a unique situation because about a month before the wedding, I decided that I wanted my rehearsal dinner to be a surprise wedding. So all the guests would arrive to the rehearsal, but then we'd tell them it's the real deal and the following day would just the reception. Sarah had just posted that her October was fully booked, so I thought there was a slim chance that she'd be able to shoot for us, especially on such last minute notice, but the stars must've aligned because she said she could do it! Not only that, she said that she could split our package hours between Friday and Saturday. She even got us super fast sneak peeks Friday night so we could get poster prints made for the reception on following day.
In every single way possible, Sarah repeatedly went above and beyond the call of duty. I can't imagine having anyone else shoot my major life events.

This lady is amazingly talented and so fun! I found Sarah here on the Knot and immediately loved her style. She is very responsive and helped answer all of my questions.
We had a...
very intimate wedding and wanted to keep things simple, drama-free, but still have beautiful pictures - and man did she deliver! Sarah helped me figure out how much time we needed with her and was very grateful for her recommendation of 4 hours instead of the 8 that I thought I originally needed. I highly recommend doing the complimentary package with her. It was the first time my husband and I had professional pictures together and it helped her get to know our personalities and helped us get to know her even better.
Her #1 focus is getting all of the shots you want and she does a great job of putting her creative spin on them. All of our guests absolutely loved her and if my husband ever agrees to having more pictures in the future, I would fly to Vegas to work with Sarah in a heartbeat. Thank you Sarah!

as so fun in Mt Lemmon and there she taught us about posing. She is great at giving direction and also capturing our fun candid moments. My husband is not a fan of photos but he even had a good time with her. We had so many beautiful photos that it was hard to pick one for our save the dates. On the day of the wedding, she arrived with the best attitude that helped calm my nerves of running behind my own schedule. While I sat in a chair getting my hair done, she finished all her detail photos and set up the cutest area for "getting ready" photos with my family and bridesmaids. She also helped me get into my dress (as my mother has Parkinson's and was unable to zip me) but still left a button for my mom to pretend to close for a photo. That meant the world to me. At the wedding venue itself, she helped me corral my wedding party and made sure everyone looked amazing for photos. She worked great with our videographer, and had a great attitude the entire day. One of my biggest fears of running 1.5 hours behind my own schedule (oops...) was that we would not get all of the photos that I wanted with my large and complicated family, but she knocked out everything on my list! She worked amazing under pressure and our time crunch, and was able to roll with it with grace. Thank you for everything Sarah!

Sarah has did our engagement photos and my husband (who’s not a fan of photos AT ALL) totally loved her. She captured “us”! She was open to being at a lake bed at 104 degrees and ...
even brought a creative idea which was one of our favorite photos. She was open to our football idea as well. For our wedding she was perfect, she was present when needed and captured the exact photos we wanted. Life happened shortly happened after our wedding and our photos were late but given her unfortunate situation she was still perfect! My husband and I live in Arizona and will be traveling to Las Vegas for photos from her in the future. Thank you Sarah!!
