“Sarah didn’t just take photos of our wedding day—she saw us. Her work captures something rare: the quiet honesty of who we are, the love we share, and the in-between moments we didn’t even know were happening. Looking at these photos, it’s like seeing ourselves and our family in a new light—so much truth, so much tenderness, so much joy. And beyond that, the photos are technically stunning. Every frame is composed with such precision and artistry, they could hang in a gallery. Sarah not only brings unmatched talent and a perfect professional eye, but she also creates an environment of ease and comfort, where you forget the camera is even there. She fosters a sense of community, where love and connection can unfold naturally. Her photos don’t just document a day—they tell a story, one we’ll treasure forever.”

Sarah Katherine was absolutely incredible! She was professional, courteous, and had a calming presence on our wedding day. She captured every moment beautifully, and her photos are truly timeless. We were so impressed with how comfortable she made us feel and how seamlessly she blended into the day. To top it all off, she delivered our photos incredibly quickly, and they exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful to her for preserving our special day so perfectly. Highly recommend!

I can not recommend Sarah enough! Sarah took photos for our engagement and for our elopement. The photos we got for both sessions are amazing and we get compliments about them all the time. You could tell that Sarah took the time to explore the areas we were taking photos beforehand and knew where to go, when the light would work in certain spots, etc. We'll exclusively be using Sarah for our family photos moving forward.

Sarah photographed our wedding at the Speed Art Museum and we could not recommend her more highly! From the get-go, Sarah was so easy to work with and placed a premium on getting to know us and understand what we wanted out of a wedding photographer. As our wedding approached, Sarah was incredibly detailed and made it so easy to get her the information that she needed in order to nail our photos the day-of. On our wedding day, Sarah was seemingly everywhere at once, rolling through family formals with ease, rolling with the natural flow of events, and making us feel incredibly natural. Nothing felt staged, nothing felt forced, and working with Sarah was so easy.
All of that pales in comparison, however, to the quality of the final album that Sarah put together. When Sarah says that she has a documentary style to her photography - she means it in the best possible way. You will love looking through Sarah's photos of seemingly small moments, incredibly elegantly captured, that will take you back to the excitement you felt on your wedding day.

When you're researching vendors, it is objectively clear that Sarah takes quality, professional photos. Anybody could take a nice posed group shot. It's the thoughtful, tender, "blink and you'll miss it" moments that Sarah captures is what sets her apart.
You can see that her photos are beautiful. Just wait until you see yourself in them. I have never felt more special in my entire life. I will cherish these photos forever.
Sarah was helpful during the planning stage and setting up a timeline. She truly is an expert and helped with the logistics. On the day of the wedding I felt so at ease and knew I was in good hands.
Sarah completely captured the joy we felt on our wedding day. There is nothing like seeing it radiate in our photos.

Sarah was amazing during the entire process from start to finish she answered any questions we had! She kept everything running so smoothly on the day that we were ahead of schedule!!! She was a professional and kept everyone where they needed to be. But to top it off our pictures were absolutely breathtaking and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to capture our beautiful wedding day! We highly recommend her and her partner did our wedding video and we cannot be happier with our choice to have to them capture our big day! They both went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful to have such beautiful memories from our special day!!!

I can't imagine having anyone else share and shoot our wedding day with us other than Sarah and her spouse Joyce. We were beyond honored that they were able to spend several days with us during our elopement in New Orleans.
We knew we wanted photos that felt genuine, let us recognize ourselves in the moments, and relive the emotions of our wedding. Sarah delivered perfection. Sarah has a talent that somehow gets better each photo you look at, no matter what the order. There is an art to what Sarah does that is perfectly balanced with an immeasurable level of skill that - in my opinion is unrivaled. When my wife and I mentioned we didn't have flowers picked out, Sarah and Joyce created our bouquets from fresh flowers they chose specifically for us that morning.
The video Joyce created for us will be something we cherish for the rest of our lives. An unapologetically queer, beautifully filmed and edited ode to our love that feels so deeply personal and joyous. We have not been able to watch it through yet without crying happy tears.
Apart from marrying my lovely wife, Sarah and Joyce are the best decision I have ever made.
Thank you, again.

My partner and I had a photoshoot with Sarah and it turned out absolutely wonderful! It's not just that she's an incredible photographer, but she's also amazing at making the whole experience fun rather than awkward. Normally I'm not a huge fan of having my picture taken but she made us both feel incredibly at ease. The photos are gorgeous, and we could not be happier with them! I honestly could not recommend her enough!!!

Sarah did my engagement and wedding photos and they are complete perfection. I would hire her a million times again. If you want high quality photos to look back on your big day, please do yourself a favor and book her as your photographer! Her partner Joyce did our wedding video and it turned out amazing! They are truly a dream team. Not to mention they are both so fun and easy to work with. Would recommend both of them x1000000!

We have had the pleasure of working with Sarah twice. Sarah helped with a surprise engagement shoot to coordinate the proposal and was also available for our desired wedding day.
Sarah is thoughtful, inclusive, quick, and well-organized. Sarah sets the bar high for professionalism in the wedding industry and was also a great resource in referring other wedding vendors that were inclusive of same-sex couples. Previews were turned around in under 24 hours for the wedding and less than 2 hours for the engagement. The editorial-style photography was a perfect fit for us.
I would hire Sarah over and over again.

Sarah showed up early for our big day to look around the venue and found some absolutely amazing spots. She was all the things you expect of a professional; punctual, communicative, prepared, positive, respectful. But Sarah was also so much more than that. Sarah captured our day perfectly and creatively. Somehow managed to capture the most important candid moments and sought out beautiful shots as well. We can not thank Sarah enough for capturing our day in the most perfect way for us to have forever.

Quick review: For a couple that is very unphotogenic and was not looking forward to being in front of the camera, I was expecting to really like only a handful of our engagement pictures... I printed over 250 pictures. Our wedding, I'm getting over 400 printed- I feel like that speaks for itself. That's how good Sarah is! Choosing Sarah is a decision I promise you will not regret.
Long review: reading previous reviews of Sarah before we chose a photographer, I was like 'wow these people are over the top.' I was wrong, all these excited reviewers are just absolutely MIND BLOWN by her talent and ability to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. Sarah guides you but she also works to understand your personalities and uses that info to steer you and your partner into poses she knows will showcase your love and unique relationship. I remember before our wedding I was so excited to see her again because she feels like an old friend, which is absurd because I had only met her ONCE! but again, that's just how good she is; you feel connected to her because she truly captures the unique beautiful and weird love you share with your partner. Your pictures won't look like cookie-cutter pictures (unless you want that) because her style of photography is to showcase your personalities and vibes.
We also did the highlight video and raw footage of our wedding, and Joyce is so awesome, emailing us to ask us questions about us and watching Joyce and Sarah work together was so fun. Their work is cohesive and they vibe off each other so well.!

Sarah is an incredibly talented photographer! From capturing our proposal, engagement pictures, and our wedding, Sarah exceeded our expectations every time! She made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera which is so important! She captures the big moments, the little moments, and everything in between perfectly.
When weather threatened to throw a wrench in our outdoor ceremony, Sarah was flexible and jumped on board with the new plan right away! Even with a completely different timeline than we discussed, she was able to capture all of photographs we wanted.
To top it all off, Sarah is inclusive of ALL people. A quick look at her website will show you how wonderful she is!
There's no one else we would have trusted to photograph our wedding day!

From the moment we discovered Sarah's photography, we were praying she would be available on our wedding date and couldn't be more grateful that she was! For both our wedding and engagement photos, she was able to put my husband and I at ease and make taking photos (something we typically overthink/get nervous about) so incredibly freeing, light-hearted, and fun. She not only captured our wedding in the most authentic, beautiful light, but also provided an extremely calm and supportive presence during a day that could be quite hectic. Looking through our wedding album, the way Sarah captured not only our love for one another, but the love of our family and friends, is tremendous. We had the best time reliving our wedding through her lens and seeing the genuine excitement, personality, and emotion in each photo! Sarah is the most INCREDIBLE photographer and we can't recommend her enough - We will treasure these photos and the experience forever!

We could not be happier with our photos from Sarah. She consistently went above and beyond to help our wedding be the perfect evening that we dreamed of. Apart from taking stunning photos, she was able to help us with planning the timing and logistics of our wedding day and was able to make a busy day-of-timeline come to completion with all of the photos that we wanted. During photo shoots Sarah has a great feel for how the couple works together and was able to make us feel comfortable and excited during sessions. She takes a journalistic approach to photographing, capturing the beauty in big and small moments, and her style is timeless. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Sarah was a fantastic photographer for our family wedding. She took timely and well-managed family photos (in the cold outside, so everyone was glad for her speedy-ness!) and lots of candid shots. She found great light and made use of great natural backgrounds in the house where we hosted the wedding. In the end, we received a HUGE catalog of gorgeous photos. On top of all of that, as a queer couple, we both felt so comfortable being ourselves and sharing our love with Sarah. Would highly recommend this professional, inclusive, creative photographer!

Sarah is INCREDIBLE. She helped execute and photographed our friend's surprise engagement, working with the fiance-to-be and friends to set up the perfect venue, framing, and photo shoot afterwards. In addition to having amazing input on venue and logistics, she took gorgeous photos of the entire group. There was no detail she hadn't thought about, and she put everyone at ease throughout what could have been a very stressful surprise!
And the photography. Sarah captured the (many!) emotions of the day beautifully. Every shot is lovely, and she somehow got everyone's personality and excitement to shine through. Echoing the other reviewers: if you have to plan your event around Sarah's schedule, it is COMPLETELY worth it. She's the absolute best!

Sarah's photography is truly one of a kind. Her talent is stunning. I knew right when I saw her work on The Knot that she had to be our photographer for our wedding. Sarah was a pleasure to work with during our engagement session, leading up to our wedding and during our special day. She is truly a professional who makes your special day seamless. Our bridal party and family mentioned how professional and great she was with timing during our special day as well. A photographer is one vendor you do not want to mess up for your big day, and Sarah will make sure your photos are breathtaking!

We literally planned our wedding around Sarah’s availability - that’s how good she is!! Sarah is magic behind the lens. She was so incredibly easy to work with, felt like a long time friend, and so perfectly captured the amazing candid moments and breathtaking portraits. My partner usually hates being in front of a camera, but he commented how easy and comfortable she made it.
The photos are absolutely stunning. We had an intimate home wedding with just our closest family members, and she captured the intimacy, the feeling of home, and the love between all of us so well. One unexpected skill she brought was her insight while we were planning the day. There were a couple moments where we asked her thoughts on where/how to do things, and her guidance was so helpful and exactly in line with how we imagined our day. She understands that weddings should be a celebration of you and your partner and she quickly picked up on who we were and encouraged it in her advice and captured it so well in the photos.
In addition to all of the above, it was a nonnegotiable for us to support someone committed to serving all types of people, and someone who actually lives out their values. After following her work for years, I knew Sarah not only serves people across many spectrums (gender/sexuality, race, religious belief, etc.), but she has actually developed resources for other wedding vendors on how to better serve LGBTQ+ couples, and actively discusses her commitment to anti-racism and building a more equitable world. On a personal level, we definitely did not want a traditional wedding with accentuation of gender roles, and we felt completely comfortable being ourselves and making the ceremony our own with Sarah.
We could not be happier with our decision to work with Sarah. She was professional, warm, and organized. She is incredible at capturing love and joy, as her work so clearly shows. And we got our pictures back so quickly during one of the busiest years of weddings! Could not recommend her more highly!

Having Sarah as our wedding/elopement photographer was hands down the best decision we made for our day. After viewing her work and the initial contact with her our excitement was high because we knew we'd found someone special, and somehow she exceeded that initial excitement a million times over. She helped us choose our venue and gave us a run down of all these spectacular places for photos with spaces that were perfect for us. She created a time line that worked beautifully from ceremony start to final pictures; we didn't feel rushed or stressed because Sarah was there making sure everything went off without a hitch. When she arrived at our cabin she went to work like an expert detective discovering all these gorgeous spots for pictures (even rearranging furniture to create perfect areas!). Her eye for what was going to photograph the very best never failed. Her intuitiveness is so impressive, she knew when we needed her wonderful infectious energy and other times she was capturing moments like a thief in the night you never knew was there. So many times looking through our photos we wondered when did she get this shot, where was she even standing to get that angle? She was everywhere at once in the best way. She truly amplified the joy of the day. When we were arriving to a secondary location for sunset pictures she crested the hill just before us and burst out in excitement at how beautiful it was. Having someone who is that overjoyed and invested in your images was so amazing. You can tell she truly loves what she does and her skill is out of this world. Every contact with her from planning to image processing was prompt and thorough. Our previews and then our gallery arrived ahead of schedule. And oh my goodness the pictures! The gallery she presented us captured every single moment of the day in stunning detail. Her work behind the camera and her phenomenal editing produced some of the most magical pictures I have ever seen. All of the incredible emotions of the day I can see reflected in Sarah's work. And that sunset I mentioned, well you'd have to see these images to believe it, they're that good. I still can't believe looking through the gallery that these are OUR wedding photos! If you choose Sarah you're going to get a photographer who goes above and beyond, makes your day run smooth, is a joy to be around, and then at the end of it get the most beautiful pictures you've ever had taken! She is an immense talent and an awesome person that we would trust again and again to deliver! She's truly unmatched and her photographs will be something you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Ridiculously amazing . From our engagement session to our wedding day, Sara exceeded every single expectation we had and then some. We chose her because we loved her journalistic style, but also because she photographed interracial couples exceptionally well. Our engagement session took place right after I'd given birth and we had SO much fun and felt extremely comfortable with our decision. The only thing we were concerned about prior to booking was having access to a second shooter. I can tell you right now if that's something you're worried about, don't be. Sara is phenomenal and we have no idea how she was able to capture so much, and so seamlessly. Thank you thank you thank you for enriching this experience for us. She's worth every dollar and then some. Treat yourself and BOOK HER NOW .

Sarah photographed my church ceremony / rehearsal dinner on 9/3/21 and our outdoor ceremony / reception on 9/4/21. (I know, it was a lot, and she was there for it all!) She did an amazing job. I spent tonight trying to decide which photos to frame and it's the most difficult decision because I want to frame all of them! Not only were our photos absolutely beautiful, Sarah was integral for keeping everything moving smoothly as soon as she stepped on the scene. I can't even describe how quick she was at getting all of the photos. At one point, we were running 20 minutes behind schedule and Sarah got us right back on schedule by flying through all of the family photos that all turned out beautifully. Sarah was the one who made sure our first dance was in the most beautiful spot of the room instead of the dance floor, keeping in mind what was practical and best for the photos and video (just a few steps away from our beautiful sweetheart table!) I am so glad we opted to hire her for both days. She did an amazing job at capturing our magical weekend and I would recommend her to everyone. She even was ninja quick at sending us all of our photos! I spent a whole day of my honeymoon diving into them, reliving our weekend. If you're thinking about booking Sarah, DO IT ASAP! She's a talented professional who books up quick!

If you are looking for a photographer, STOP SCROLLING REVIEWS AND GO BOOK HER! Trust me - you don’t need to look any further, stop wasting time. I am suuuuuper picky and bougie and Sarah passes the vibe check in every single way. She made my photos look sooo sexy and moody and romantic and warm all at the same time.
She ran through the rain with us during our elopement to get the perfect shots, even though we were SOAKED to the bone (she had waterproof shoes and the right lens cover just in case we wanted to do exactly that)
She was warm and friendly and loving - she knew EXACTLY how to get every perfect shot while still remaining both a part of the ceremony AND sneaky/invisible when she needed to be. She was accepting of every flaw and road bump throughout the day - and my wedding day simply would not have been the same without her.
Her eye for the perfect photo and the perfect lighting is straight up otherworldly. You need Sarah in your life, so stop scrolling through reviews and just go for it. Trust me!

Sarah is AMAZING!!! My spouse and I were initially drawn to Sarah’s ability to capture candid & genuine moments of joy and love, and we are so happy she was able to capture such moments for us in our engagement and wedding day photos! Sarah is incredibly talented and thoughtful. She went above and beyond to identify the perfect scenery for our photos, scouting out several areas at the Parklands in Louisville and a park near our wedding venue so we could have nature photos but wouldn’t miss too much of the wedding celebration. Sarah is also organized and efficient which made planning her time with us very easy. She asked us about our love story, about our hopes/vision for the wedding and photos, helped us create a timeline for the wedding day, and created a plan for capturing all of the organized photos we hoped for on our wedding day. Additionally, she was encouraging and so easy to connect with during our time with her. Sarah is an expert in all that she does, and we would 100% recommend her to anyone in the Louisville area and beyond (because she travels)!

If you are looking for wedding photography look no further!! Working with Sarah as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made throughout our planning process. From the very beginning, Sarah was communicative, understanding, and took time to answer our questions. My husband and I aren’t people who love to be in front of the camera, but at our engagement session and throughout our wedding day, Sarah kept us laughing and made us feel totally comfortable. Our wedding guests also remarked that Sarah was incredibly kind and patient. Our wedding photos are beautiful and we feel like Sarah captured both our personalities perfectly!

Sarah is the best wedding photographer I have seen by far! I I fell in love with her photos and work ethic from seeing how she worked photographing my friend's wedding, and I knew that I wanted her to be my wedding photographer once I was engaged. She has a way of helping you to feel more comfortable right off the bat and will go the extra mile to make sure you get the best photos possible. Everyone was raving about how great she was and how beautiful her photos are and we cannot recommend her enough!

Sarah Katherine Davis is nothing but top notch. It rained so much on our wedding day, and Sarah was prepared with multiple cameras - carried my umbrellas! - and followed along with a smile. She literally told us to dance in the rain - if that is not a testimony to her eye for a good photo, her professionalism, and her positivity, I don't know what is. Her work is top quality and it was because of her our wedding day went from pretty good to absolutely great. We are eternally grateful for her artistic eye and her attention to style, personality captured of us in our shoot, her laughter, and her calm, soothing manner. Truly a professional - everyone should work with her for a shoot, as she puts a lasting smile on your face and the photos echo her own passion and artistry. Simply fantastic. 5/5 stars. Thank you for everything, Sarah!

I'm not sure there are words to describe how fabulous our photos of our wedding turned out and I really don't like my picture taken. Sarah managed to capture the joy of the day without making us look posed. She was somehow everywhere all at once. We are so happy we booked her for a our photos and her spouse Joyce for our videography. It was wonderful to work with them both and the final images and video moved my mother and mother-in-law to tears. We will enjoy our photos and video for years to come. Look no further!

Sarah was the photographer for my wife's brother's wedding, after watching her work for 10 minutes I looked at my partner and said, "we need to hire her for ours" She is a ghost in the night, you think she wasn't even there (once the ceremony/reception is rolling) but get the pictures back and she was EVERYWHERE!
If you want journalistic photos, tailored to your personality, and the best quality you can find, Sarah is your photographer! Don't hire the friend that says they can take pictures, hire this professional that will give you images you will cherish for a lifetime.

My wife (!!) and I chose Sarah as our photographer for our wedding. From the first time we met, to the pre-wedding planning, then the day of the wedding, and all the way to receiving the BEAUTIFUL pictures she captured, Sarah was an incredibly talented, helpful, knowledgable, and kind person. Both my wife and I said that choosing her to be our photographer was the BEST decision we made! She helped us envision what we wanted for our ceremony, and caught on camera the best day of our lives. I recommend Sarah Katherine Davis Photography to EVERYONE. She was quick with her email responses, helped me put together a day-of itinerary, and seriously caught so many beautiful moments that we get to cherish forever. I can confidently say that we will use her in the future for all of our special events. It was worth every penny we spent, and I am forever grateful for her work and sharing her gifts with us.

We had Sarah do our engagement photos at Buffalo Trace Distillery. She is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her more. We are not from Kentucky, and we were just there for the extended weekend. She helped us prep for the shoot by reviewing outfit choices, and was fabulous in every step of communication. Our photoshoot itself was efficient, smooth, and comfortable. She has a natural way of putting people at ease. Thanks Sarah for some amazing photos!!!

What an incredible experience. We just received our pictures (shoot was on 8/9, today is 8/17) and could not be happier. Sarah was a tremendous professional from start to finish. She responded promptly to emails and was forthcoming about what COVID precautions she’s taking, so no need for uncertainty or concerns. She is very active on social media, which allows you to get a strong sense of the consistency across her work. Your photos will feel familiar to her style, while still being completely unique to you. If you like what you saw in others’ pictures, you’ll love how it looks when it’s you.
Prior to our session she provided some really good thoughts related to how to maximize our shoot, along with making herself available for any additional questions. She asked questions about us and our relationship, which helped us to feel familiar with each other when finally meeting that morning. During the shoot she was diligent to get a variety of shots without anything feeling forced, rigid, or out of character for us. She was fun and engaged, which helped the session feel relaxed so our pictures were authentic. Sarah was able to use her experience to direct us, while not forcing stock engagement poses. The result is a gallery of beautiful engagement photos truly capturing our relationship as partners that we can’t wait to share with others!
We would strongly, without hesitation recommend Sarah Katherine Davis Photography for engagement, wedding, or any other occasions you wish to document.
A few side notes:
1) We are planning our wedding in a different city which is the only reason we aren’t hiring her for those as well (though we are strongly nsidering paying for her travel after seeing how these turned out).
2) Sarah is commitment to inclusivity and ensuring gorgeous photos for all couples, regardless of how they identify, which was very important to us.

The best decision we made during the wedding planning process was booking Sarah to be our photographer! I cannot even begin to tell you how much we LOVE our wedding photos. We also had her photograph our intimate courthouse ceremony along with our big party. ALL our photos turned out even better than I could ever imagine! Sarah is truly an artist with the best eye for locations and backdrops! I cannot even begin to put into words how great Sarah is at her job! She constantly captures the small "in-between" moments that most photographers miss. She is truly exceptional. On top of her being an amazing photographer, she is also the coolest person I have ever met!! You MUST book Sarah for your wedding!!

10/5 stars, truly. We couldn't recommend Sarah enough. Our wedding took place in our first home during the winter with a small number of guests. We worried a photographer would stick out against familiar faces, but we were so wrong! Sarah felt like another guest and she was wonderful to work with. Photos that were her idea ended up being some of our favorites. She captured the warmth and happiness that existed that night, and we couldn't be more grateful. Her FAQ sheet mentioned the words "photo ninja" and I would have to agree 100%. She's efficient, kind, and professional.

After our first coffee shop meeting, I just knew Sarah was going to be the perfect photographer for us. Only a couple of hours after our initial meeting, Sarah provided me with a detailed timeline of how we could capture all of the images that I was wanting on our wedding day without having to sacrifice our desire to skip out on a first look. My "less than thrilled to take photos fiance" had nothing but amazing things to say about Sarah and his experience after having our engagement session. Our images from our engagement session were greater than I could have imagined (i have looked at them daily since receiving them back). We both cannot wait to see the images that Sarah captures on our wedding day!!!

If I could give 10 stars I honestly would.
She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I recommend her to anyone who wants their photos to capture the important moments, the signature shots, and all the emotions in between. What she does is a pure combination of magic and talent. She makes you feel comfortable in your own skin and keeps you at ease on a casual shoot or one of the most important days of your life.
Bring any questions because this pro has the experience. As a professional photographer for more than two decades, she books up QUICK. Plus, she photographs weddings all over the world like a boss. My brother hired her for his elopement in St. Thomas and the result was breathtaking.
One of my favorite things about her style is how authentic and candid her results are. PLEASE go to her website and look at her success. My husband and I have received endless compliments regarding our engagement shoots and our wedding. She is like a fine wine, once you try her, all other photographers come up short.
If you’re reading this Sarah, thank you for capturing our love story. You are wonderful. Our day wouldn’t have been our day without you.

She was there to capture the most important moments, and not only that... but in a beautiful way. Great angles and LIGHTING! Her pictures came in record time after our engagement session AND the wedding. Not only are all of these things what make Sarah so great, but she is also very kind and was able to make both my husband and I comfortable behind the camera. Needless to say... we love Sarah!

Sarah was one of my favorite parts of our wedding. She showed us so much care and respect through the whole wedding planning process. I quickly learned wedding planning was not my thing, but I knew at least I didn't need to worry about the photos! The photos are so beautiful and I think capture our family perfectly. I don't think I'll ever be able to thank Sarah enough for making us feel so comfortable, and for giving us such great photos we'll have forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
If you’re at all doubting using Sarah, don’t! She was absolutely amazing. Her style is so relaxed and while I hate having my photo taken, I felt relaxed through the whole process. All of our photos feel like us! She works so hard to make sure she truly captures who you are, not just pictures of what’s going on.

Sarah is a dream! You get what you see here – her online portfolio is consistent with all the photos you receive – and by that I mean that literally every single photo is beautiful, professional, aesthetic, and tear-inducing! Not to mention, Sarah is just so so so so pleasant to spend your day with. When you’re with Sarah, you feel comfortable, which means your photos show that. She also has a way of capturing all the special moments of the wedding day, not only of the couple, but of your guests as well! I really can’t put into words how happy I am with our photos, but I can say that I can’t stop looking at them, which is always a good sign. I would choose Sarah as our wedding photographer over and over and over again. THANK YOU!

Sarah came into our lives when our original wedding photographer, a friend of my family, had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. What was originally a stressful disaster turned into amazing kismet. Though I was very nervous about having a stranger at our intimate, simple, DIY costume wedding, Sarah was so charming and relaxed she fit right in, even wearing a costume herself! We wanted to make sure everyone put down their phones and enjoyed each other and the moment instead of documenting our wedding for us so an excellent photographer was extremely important to us. She captured all of the moments we wanted, and all of the ones we didn't know we wanted with skill and seeming ease. She was also very good at photographing my one year old nephew, who is notoriously a difficult shot. The way the light works in our photos makes it seem like we were in a magical fairy garden, which I guess for that night maybe we were? At least that is the way it is memorialized. We have so many incredible photographs cutting them down to a wall collage is very difficult and though the wedding felt like it flew by we know from the photos that it was actually a evening well enjoyed! Thank you again Sarah!

Sarah is a dream for your wedding day! Being a wedding planner myself, I loved her for so so many reasons; from her being so on top of timing and moving people around quickly to get all of the pictures in, to her personality being so fun and free, allowing us to feel beyond comfortable! When it was all over, we were incredibly sad she had to leave because she had become such a huge part of our day. Her photographs are phenomenal & she captures the most precious moments, perfectly! It was very important to us that we could feel comfortable to ensure the photos were true to who we were and our love...with that being the case, we couldn’t have had a more perfect photographer! She is amazing and will make your day one million times easier and special! ❤️

Multiple close family and friends told me after how much they loved her and how efficient and professional she was.
