About this vendor
I’m here to photograph you, together as you are. Real love, captured honestly and intimately, in a photojournalistic way. I want you to feel the warmth, the laughter, the tears, and those beautiful moments shared when no one (and everyone) else is around. I want your true personalities to shine through. To me, weddings are about the emotions, the celebration, and genuine moments than staged portraits and uncomfortable posing. Think of me as a fly on the wall, but also your best friend with a camera: getting the scene but also those tiny, intimate moments (+ tearing up the dancefloor with you!).
I put my heart and soul into each wedding I photograph. I take and edit each photo personally and with care-- you know you'll be working with me for every moment. Let's chat!

We are so grateful to have had Sarah as our photographer. We got to meet her in Oakland, CA while she was in town for a wedding and she took our engagement pics. We had so much fun and felt totally at ease! We quickly realized how important who a photographer is for wedding day they are with you through out all of the most intimate of moments with your partner, family etc. Sarah was not just the most fun, organized etc but she brought all of the good energy when little mishaps occurred and on the dance floor! We are so obsessed with our pics and are so glad we did film as well. 10/10 recommend!!
Sarah was a dream to work with! Kind, sincere and insanely talented. I couldn't imagine a better photographer. She truly cared about capturing our wedding in way that felt right for us. She listened and made us feel comfortable and celebrated. I've been to multiple weddings that she photographed and was impressed every time. HIRE HER! Her energy and photographs are magical :)
I do not have the words to express my gratitude to Sarah for being such an integral part of our wedding--the photos are simply perfect. Sarah brings an editorial vision to her work and is incredibly caring about her clients' needs, while also imbuing her masterful artistic lens throughout. I love how she documented our wedding day as a "story," capturing each moment in a unique way that really comes to life when you see all the photos together in the album. In addition to her amazing photos, Sarah is a joy to work with and a necessary addition to have at your wedding celebration. She's kind, empathetic and sensitive to clients' needs (particularly to the many personalities involved in a wedding :)). She is also EVERYWHERE all at once, and yet totally stealth (working solo for my 165+ guest wedding, she didn't miss a BEAT). My guests could not get over how hysterical Sarah was on the dancefloor--4 different cameras around her neck capturing every single insane and kooky dancefloor moment, totally working it and getting in on the fun. She's one of a kind and anyone would be truly lucky to have her at their special day. We have 0 regrets about not getting a videographer because Sarah's work is all you need to capture every aspect of the party. I would recommend her to everyone!
Sarah is amazing at what she does and captures true, authentic moments that you can cherish forever. She was so gracious with her time and gave us extra special shots for being a friend of ours. We loved having her at our wedding to share all the special moments with us as well. She was so lovely to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. If you want real emotion captured, Sarah is the best!!
We had a really great experience with Sarah as our wedding photographer! She captured special moments that look and felt natural (even though being photographed doesn't come naturally to either one of us) and highlighted the beauty of the winter garden at the Washington Arboretum despite rainy and windy weather conditions. It's amazing how many different photos, in different locations, Sarah was able to take in what felt like a short timeframe, while never making us feel rushed or behind at all. Sarah brought really positive energy to our wedding day and we and our wedding guests felt instantly at ease around her. Thank you!!
Sarah was the best - I fell in love with her work when she did a friend’s wedding, and when I started looking for my wedding, she was the first and last photographer I spoke with. Throughout the process, she was super friendly, disarming, communicative, not distracting, thoughtful of our needs and very professional. Prior to our wedding, Sarah took our engagement photos and it was the perfect process to get us comfortable with Sarah, and even then, we immediately knew we made the right decision. Our photos came out beautifully and I was so excited to share them with friends and family.
For our wedding, Sarah made things super easy for us. She helped us create a timeline that would give us enough time to take photos and rest, she scoped out our venue beforehand to ensure we took photos at the best spots, and she worked closely with our venue, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. That gave me the freedom to just enjoy the day and not feel stressed at all. We just got our wedding photos back and we LOVE them. She captured so many great moments from our wedding, and we got to relive the magic of that day again.
I highly, highly recommend Sarah if you are looking for a photographer. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.
Ahhh I love love love Sarah!! I’ve worked with her as a fellow vendor and client and she is amazing on both ends of service. As a wedding planner, I know whenever I worked with her the couples will be left in great hands. She’s always captures every shot and without going over her time limit (as a lot of photographers tend to go thus pushing back the timeline). And on the client side, her enthusiasm, and direction for posing makes taking photos so easy and effortless. She is your ultimate woman and will make you feel confident taking photos.
Sarah is fantastic and an absolute gem! We were so fortunate to work with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. We were a 2020 covid couple and Sarah was so flexible and helpful with the 2 reschedules we had. Our engagement photos were 3 years prior to our wedding and with Sarah, it felt like no time had passed. Working with her is so seamless! She provides great direction and nothing ever feels awkward or "staged". Our photos turned out absolutely incredible. She really captured the joy of every moment throughout the day so that not one piece of our celebration was left out. It was so amazing! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!
My wife and I were after something hard to find: a wedding photographer whose style was timeless and beautiful, rather than excessively Instagram-ready. We wanted beautiful images that wouldn't look overly styled, filtered or dated in 20 years. And of course, they had to be well-composed images that captured not just the stuff of the day, but the mood.
We liked Sarah's work for its moody light and color, and for her capture of little candid moments that tell the story of the day. Working with her was straightforward: we did an initial call on FaceTime, talked about our vision, then signed a contract online. As we approached the wedding 10 months later, our conversation picked up naturally. On the day, Sarah was awesome — chipper, prepared, friendly, and efficient. One of our favorite memories of the whole wedding was the hour we spent walking with Sarah for a portrait session. It was great to connect before the ceremony, and Sarah did a beautiful job amplifying and capturing our happiness — and distracting us from our nerves.
As soon as the event kicked off, Sarah was nowhere to be seen, in a good way. She flitted around, snagging great moments across the evening while blending invisibly into the crowd. She even managed our family group photos in under 10 minutes, though we did miss a few shots from our list.
A few days after the wedding, Sarah sent a preview of about 100 images, followed by the full set four months later. They are beautiful, a treasure of 1000 photos of our favorite day that capture its unique spirit.
We recommend Sarah highly! Get her before she gets big.
I cannot overstate how happy we are to have booked Sarah for our wedding. My wife and I are both a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Sarah put us immediately at ease on our wedding day and really helped us bring our vision to life. (That vision was mostly “we want lots of wild dance floor pics” and she did NOT disappoint.) Sarah is not only easy to work with, she’s also crazy talented. The final images blew us away with their artistry and will be treasured for a long, long time.
As we approach our one year wedding anniversary this weekend, I realize I haven’t written a review for our AMAZING wedding photographer, Sarah. Sarah brings an energy and spontaneity to her photography that is unmatched. She is fun to work with, reliable and produces great results. Sarah did an engagement shoot, city hall and reception package for us and all at a reasonable price point. We would highly recommend Sarah!
OH MY GOD SARAH! She MADE our wedding. Not only is she an incredible photographer, she is so much fun to party with! She was so organized and was sure to get all the shots that we had requested and our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they all had with her and we already received our preview shots and they are as expected, STUNNING. I went through an extensive research and deliberation for the perfect photographer and Sarah was the perfect decision. We loved her so much we want to have another wedding just to have her be a part of it again. Thank you so so much!!
Thank you to Sarah for being such an pro in your craft and for your expert skillzzz. From our first meeting, Sarah set a really good tone. She listened, asked the right questions, and took the time to understand what we wanted to see and get out of our wedding day photography. On the big day, she was super relaxed, going with the flow, but still in control (which is precisely what one needs on a day full of nerves and chaos). She politely listened and handled some “aside” moments involving sticky family politics and accepted all photo requests graciously and patiently. We had a lot of fun taking our street photos in Williamsburg, even stopped at Smorgasburg for some unique photo opps combined with ice cream.
We were so happy and grateful she truly captured our Brooklyn wedding vibe. We are currently working with her to create a custom coffee table wedding album. We would recommend Sarah and certainly use her photography services again for another any other future major event!
Sarah is amazing! Over the years we've developed what I'd like to think of as a friendship. She was one of the brilliant photographers at our wedding. Her bubbly personalty brightened up the night. She made friends with our guests; catching truly special & rare moments. We invited Sarah into our home years later to take family pictures of our 1 year old. She naturally switched gears from wedding to family photographer; blending into our home, so our son was comfortable. These pictures are intimate, and beyond special. Sarah's talent for capturing people, created cherished memories of our little family, that will last a lifetime. We're so grateful to have developed this relationship with Sarah, she genuinely cares about her clients and it's evident in the work she creates. We look forward to many more photo sessions in the years to come.
Sarah is an artist. She is a passionate, warm, and incredible photography partner for every wedding-related event you could ever think of. Not only does she make you feel like at ease and like you’re having a reunion with friends, she had this incredible talent of making each individual shine. We couldn’t be happier with how Sarah made us feel on the day of (glamorous, amazing, comfortable, gorgeous) and the resulting photographs (artistic, inspired, unique, capturing who we really are). I honestly can’t praise working with Sarah enough for wedding-related photography. She’s one of a kind and we’re planning to work with her in the future for every event/personal photo need!
If you need an incredible photographer with a heart of gold, then Sarah is the one for you. She photographed our wedding last year and the day was perfect! Sarah captured the day in a way I didn’t think possible. I look back on these photos and relive the moments of our wedding day where all my friends and family celebrated our love. It is the most wonderful gift and for that, we are eternally grateful <3. Her approach is so personal, and she has an intuitive sense when it comes to directing. She also understands when to step back and just capture the candid moments which I appreciated. Sarah does it all so beautifully and I cannot recommend her enough. Do not hesitate if you are looking for a photographer for your special day, you will not be disappointed!
I am so glad that my partner and I decided to book Sarah for our wedding. She is professional, communicative, and great at what she does. She's also super fun to be around which was an added bonus! Our wedding was really small and intimate and everything about Sarah's approach matched perfectly with the day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture this memorable day. Thanks again!!
Sarah is by every stretch of the imagination simply the best. My husband and I were adamant about avoiding stock wedding photos and wanted our pictures to look organic, natural, and truly capture our wedding vibe - not just stage some nice portraits and call it a day. She listened to our vision and delivered it perfectly. One thing we really appreciated was her kind hand in helping us wrangle our family members when it came to group photos. She is creative, wildly talented, and a true professional. A hundred stars.
We are so thrilled that we chose Sarah to photograph our wedding. She made us feel incredibly comfortable right from the start when she did a complimentary engagement shoot for us. She works quickly and her aesthetic is so beautiful! We couldn't believe how many stellar shots we got in a super short period of time. At our wedding, we often forgot she was there, but she didn't miss a single moment. She captured the intimate moments between family and friends, the gorgeous setting, the emotional readings and toasts, and of course, the party! We honestly love all of the photos Sarah took. Our biggest problem is choosing which ones to print because they're all so amazing! I really can't recommend Sarah highly enough. Thank you so much, Sarah!!!
Sarah is a talented photographer and editor. Her approach is so personal and tailored to her clients. She also just brought a ton of energy to the shoot and was so fun to work with!
Sarah is an amazing photographer. She captured just what we wanted and made the shoot an easy and fun experience. HIGHLY recommended!
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sarah to anyone looking for an engagement photographer! I found Sarah online through her Instagram account and immediately contacted her to shoot our engagement photos. Obviously I was a little concerned because Instagram is curated and filtered, but Sarah’s photos are seriously THAT AMAZING. She has this uncanny ability to make you feel comfortable when you’re in front of the camera. She really captured us as a couple, and we’re absolutely obsessed with our photos!!!!
Sarah is a very talented photographer and has a keen eye for detail! We were nervous about taking engagement photos, but as soon as we met her, we felt relaxed and enjoyed the shooting. Despite having only one hour for shooting, Sarah shot with a bunch of photos with lots of variety. She knew all of the good spots in the neighborhood we were shooting in. The results were beyond amazing. Photos were hip but still sophisticated. Strongly recommend her!
Sarah was my photographer for my engagement shoot and small city hall wedding. The wedding day was perfect, an oddly warm day for January, and with just mine and my husband's immediate family, it was very intimate. Sarah captured the whole thing beautifully. She was warm and friendly, never interrupting or posing us for cheesy photos (unless we asked!), and made everyone feel comfortable.
As far as communication goes, she was excellent. She made sure to answer any questions promptly and gave great suggestions for our engagement shoot as well in terms of timing, lighting, locations, etc.
All of the photos she delivered back were absolutely PERFECT. I couldn’t ask for better shots of my whole family celebrating one of the most important days of my life, and the beautiful candidness of the her photos juts make it that much better - they were truly REAL moments captured. I would 100% recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, professional, friendly and truly talented photographer. 1000/10 amazing.
