Sarah Joy Photography is the best in the business and a 5 star review is not sufficient to express how incredible it was working with Sarah. Having Sarah capture our wedding day wa...
s one of the best choices we could have made. It was incredibly easy working with Sarah leading up to our wedding day and we were incredibly impressed with her communication, thoroughness, professionalism, and expertise. We want to emphasize how Sarah cares for her clients and are committed to forming true relationships with the couples. Starting with our engagement session, we felt a sense of connection to Sarah and loved that we were able to form a relationship with her prior to our big day. We were continuously touched by the level of care and personalism Sarah had for us on our wedding day. On our wedding day, we spent the most amount of our time with our photographers and videographers. We felt calm and at ease with Sarah and truly enjoyed the time we spent with her on our special day. Sarah is fun, energetic, personable, and caring. She is exactly the type of person you want to be with on such a meaningful day. Sarah is an incredibly talented photographer. She is intentional, creative, and purposeful. She captured our day, the emotions, the excitement, and the love perfectly. We absolutely LOVE the sneak peaks. Our jaws dropped to the floor when we saw the stunning work she produced. We are so excited to have these forever memories captured that we will look back on for the rest of our lives and be reminded of all the memories of our special day. We could not recommend Sarah more!
Sarah has truly perfected her craft. I cannot think of other photographers who's work has stuck with me in the way Sarah's has. Its absolutely perfect. I remember when I first foun...
d Sarah's' work I would stare at her photos online for what could have been hours a in a week! It would be the same handful of photos that were on Facebook or Instagram or her website, but I didn't care! I loved her style and I wanted to be apart of her work!
We are very lucky to have had Sarah as our photographer. We live local and our venue was nearby, so she knew the space. We also were lucky enough to get amazing photos on the Lake Superior north shore!
More importantly, Sarah brings a great energy to your wedding, and she is always happy to see you. I wish I could live our wedding day all over again, and Sarah is the reason why.
Thanks Sarah! (I could go on forever!)

Sarah was absolutely great! She has great energy, is very knowledgeable, and she had so many helpful tips and tricks for us. Sarah was so open and communicative in the year leadin...
g up to our wedding, and she made the whole process easy and customized to us. She really went above and beyond and genuinely cared for myself and my husband. Sarah is crazy talented and you will not be disappointed in hiring her for your photography needs!
Sarah's style speaks to my soul - I just absolutely love it! My husband and I started with her on a couples session several years ago and have gone back to her over and over again ...
as our family has grown. My only regret is that I didn't meet her or know her before we got married! She's fun to work with, puts you at ease, and somehow captures the most amazing photos amid the chaos of trying to get our kids to smile! But she always gets the shots.
Working with Sarah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Her photography is beautiful and she is very easy to work with. We loved doing our engagement shoot with h...
er first as it was a great warm up for the big day. Our photos are stunning and we would highly recommend working with her! My husband and I appreciated that Sarah was able to direct and pose us as that isn’t our forte. With that said, she also captured so many organic, candid moments that we’re so happy to have. Sarah’s energy is infectious and helped bring out our playful side! Sarah is professional, communicative and very talented at what she does. Overall we were very satisfied with our experience working with Sarah and the end product she provided.
We are incredibly thankful we found Sarah! We could not have asked for a better photographer. Her calm demeanor and laid-back approach were a perfect match for how we wanted the da...
y to be... little stress, little running around... just capturing the intimate and memorable moments.
We are already so thrilled with the preview gallery she sent over a few days after the wedding. We keep going back to scroll through them over and over!
We will absolutely enlist her help for future photo needs should she have us!
Sarah was great to work with! She provided so much positive energy from the first time we met. Planning a wedding during COVID we had a lot of last minute changes, but Sarah was th...

le. Our wedding party said they have never had more fun during the photo session than they did at our wedding with Sarah. She made every experience so fun and natural from engagement session to wedding day, and it shows with her photos! Highly recommend!!

ring all of the big and small moments of your special day. She kept everyone on schedule and guided us every step of the way. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her skill as a photographer and who she is as a person.
I first met Sarah when she photographed my sisters wedding. After spending nearly the entire day with her, I knew that I needed her to photograph my own wedding one day! Two years ...
later and she photographed our (100 degree) wedding and DANG did she do good! Sarah is not only an amazing photographer but she is such a joy to be around! She girl could get along with just about anyone and she puts such an upbeat spin on things while still keeping things moving, which can sometimes be a hard task! She made our wedding day so special! She is the BEST.
We absolutely loved Sarah from the start! She made us feel comfortable and really captured some wonderful pictures for us. I love everything about her style and the way she uses ...
natural light in her pictures. I also loved that she helped us create a day of timeline, it was super helpful! Booking a good photographer was super important to me and Sarah exceeded my expectations! Our family and friends have raved about how great our pictures are and I'm beyond happy with everything she did for us and honestly can't thank her enough. We'll be able to relive the day over and over because Sarah was able to capture it perfectly for us. We highly recommend Sarah, she will make sure everything is absolutely perfect!
Working with Sarah was an absolute dream! We didn’t worry about a thing. She is such a sweetie. Sarah and her husband shot our wedding at a very rustic ranch in Silverthorne, Color...
ado. They weren’t afraid to go to the top of a mountain for a good pic or steal photos of special moments. We would recommend Sarah to anyone! She provided great direction and adds so much fun and humor to the day! We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos because the sneak peeks alone have absolutely exceeded expectations! Thanks for everything Sarah Joy
I don't think I have enough words to express how amazing Sarah is and how incredibly happy I am with how our pictures turned out!! She was incredibly accommodating from start to fi...
nish. After reaching out to her after checking out her amazing portfolio, which I loved for how bright and romantic her pictures were, she got back in touch with me immediately and we set up a Skype interview. She took the time to talk with me for nearly an hour going over everything from my vision for the day to a potential timeline for the entire day (incredibly helpful for someone who had NO idea what I was doing). Our wedding was in Texas, we live in Georgia and with Sarah in Minnesota I was a little bit hesitant about how difficult it would be to plan, but all that worrying was for nothing, Sarah completely took charge and was on top of everything! She helped plan our engagement photo session and scouted out places that would make for the most beautiful pictures. She flew all the way to Savannah for our engagement shoot and spent a ton of time with us making sure we got the perfect pictures. Sarah was so relaxed and helped us to relax as well. She helped us out with how to "pose" for pictures (because we had no clue), but all of our pictures look incredibly natural. The photos from our engagement session were incredible and even better than I could have ever imagined. They had the bright, romantic air that I fell in love with in her other photos and were just stunning. For the wedding, she flew all the way to Texas for us! She spent so much time making sure she got pictures of all the small details prior to taking pictures with the bridal party, like the flowers, decorations, invitation suite, rings, tables, etc that I feel is sometimes overlooked, but is so important. Prior to the ceremony she took photos with the bridesmaids and groomsmen and again was so helpful with making sure our pictures were perfect, but still look relaxed and natural. Her photos of the ceremony and reception were perfect and she made sure to get all of the important moments and then some. After the wedding, Sarah had our pictures completed and back to us at lightening speed, like she must have slaved away to get them back so fast. And, you guys, the pictures are STUNNING. After our engagement pictures I had no doubt the wedding pictures would be amazing, but I was left totally speechless. The pictures are even better than I could ever imagine. We had a long engagement (about two years) and booked Sarah pretty early on and throughout the entire engagement Sarah was great about keeping in touch with me, checking in to see if I needed anything, making sure all the timeline details were nailed down, etc. I can't say enough about Sarah and how happy I am that I was lucky enough to stumble upon her website in my search for a photographer. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, please, do yourself a favor and book Sarah Joy Photography.
Sarah was amazing to work with and I was in love with all my photos! She’s a must! Xo
If you’re looking for an amazing wedding photographer, hire Sarah. If you already have one booked, fire them and hire Sarah. Need I say more? From day one of meeting for our engage...
ment photos, I knew I made the right decision. My husband is definitely not a fan of getting his picture taken but Sarah made us both feel extremely comfortable. The end results? AMAZING!!! Same with our wedding! There’s not one photo that I’m like “eh could have done without that one”. She got every shot and was willing to add more that I wanted. Also her second shooter, Stephanie is also the bomb!! Our entire wedding party was comfortable with them and they fit right in! Hands down the best. I will recommend her to anyone that will listen to me.....
Sarah was such a doll to work with, she really knows how to make you fell special. She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding! I would recommend her first before anyone e...

do not yet have my wedding photographs (it was not long ago) we were beyond thrilled with all of our engagement shots. Sarah easily directs, asks for your input and takes the time to get to know you and your significant other in order to get photos that capture you as a couple. We could not be more pleased to have had such an amazing photographer!

/needed. Sarah did an excellent job coordinating wedding party photos, and was enthusiastic and encouraging throughout, providing direction as needed for our rowdy group. Sarah was very accommodating from the beginning, substituting an engagement session (which we already had) for photos at our rehearsal dinner. I am so happy she was able to be there for that night, it meant so much to us. Sarah provided us some "sneak peeks" that are absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to see more! I would recommend Sarah, with no doubt, to anyone! Thank you so much!
I'm one of those ladies who dreamed of her engagement and wedding photos for a long time, and Sarah made that dream a reality. She captured a moment in my and my husband's life tha...
t we will treasure forever and will share with our children and grandchildren. Sarah is my cousin's sister-in-law, and after I saw the beautifully lit and composed photos she did for my aunt and uncle and their family in 2015 I knew I wanted to work with her. We were impressed by her professionalism in our initial meeting and her easy-to-use website and package options. Not only did Sarah do absolutely beautiful work, she made friends with our elderly and sometimes curmudgeonly dog during our engagement session, organized our large wedding party and families and gracefully rolled with the pre-ceremony chaos to capture all of the moments I wanted!
Sarah was the absolute best from start to finish! She made the process so much fun and alleviated any stress we had regarding photography for the day of! It was clear that our sa...
tisfaction was her main focus and when we had questions she was always right there to answer them!
I don't even know where to start with how gorgeous her work is, but if you've seen any of her pictures, you'll know why! She picked the perfect locations for our engagement and wedding photos while capturing our spirit and personality as a couple!
Now that our wedding is over, we're even MORE thankful to know that we had someone there like Sarah documenting it all! The day goes so quickly, and it's reassuring to know we had her there to capture all of the special moments and details we may have missed!
We can't thank her enough for everything she did to help make our wedding day so special! Do NOT hesitate working with this girl, it will without a doubt be one of the best decisions you make throughout this process! :)
Sarah was the most incredible photographer throughout the entire planning and wedding process. She made sure to capture every shot and detail throughout the day. The best part? She...
loves your wedding day just as much as you do, and it shows in her photos. We were incredibly lucky to have had Sarah capture the best day of our lives.
Sarah is extremely talented in what she can do with photography by capturing special moments beautifully. She is easy to work with, fun, creative, and has a keen eye for detail. I ...
would highly recommend her to take any ones engagement and/or wedding photos, especially if you want something uniquely gorgeous! There is nothing quite like her style and I have been beyond pleased with what she created for me and my husband.
We could not be happier with Sarah and our engagement and wedding photos. She is the sweetest soul, and did such an excellent job capturing 'us' in each picture. She has an incre...
dible talent and worked so well with us, our families, and wedding party. Sarah's eye for detail gave us a suite of pictures that help us replay our wedding day so perfectly; we could not have hoped for more and are so glad we're able to look back at details we didn't have the chance to enjoy on our wedding day! Sarah captured moments from our wedding that we weren't able to see, and it's been so fun to relive our day from a different perspective; such beautiful moments were captured, and I'm so thankful we were able to see some of those!! We are so lucky to have gained a sweet friend, and are excited to involve Sarah in future photo projects with our family. Thank you!!
Sarah is great to work with and helped make our wedding day run very smooth! We will be able to look at our pictures 50 years down the road and know exactly how we were feeling tha...

mbled upon Sarah! Her bubbly personality makes her a joy to work with, and she knows the exact poses, eye contact, body gestures, etc. to make each photo look unique, natural, and breathtaking all at once.
Our wedding day was no different. She listened to my ideas and made sure we were satisfied with the amount of pictures we took. Even when my family was being a pain to get together for a group photo, she stayed calm and patient.
If you're looking for a fun, talented, reasonably priced photographer... Sarah is your girl.
Sarah was such a delight to work with. As a bride, she helped me with fine details I never thought of and helped me through perfecting a wedding timeline. With last minute planning...
I realized I needed her for an extra hour and she was flexible with allowing me to add on. Our pictures turned out beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Sarah's photobooth is a must have! Such a fun and easy way to capture great memories and keep your guests entertained. I highly recommend Sarah and her team to capture your special day or any event!
Sincerely,
Chad and Taylor Ziemke
Sarah is nothing shy of amazing!! We knew we wanted pictures that were not the cookie cutter wedding type and one that had experience with winter weddings. We met with Sarah and ta...
lked over what we actually wanted and things just clicked. When we left our first meeting my husband even said that she was the one! We decided to book her and have absolutely no regrets so far. Sarah is so easy to work with and her personality, energy, vision, etc., really make you feel at ease. From the placement of simple things like your hands, to how you stand, Sarah is such a professional. Even with our HUGE wedding party she was able to get everyone in line and cooperating! If you have any reservations about photography, especially for your wedding, please know Sarah is worth every penny.
