Sarah Lockhart Photography

r throughout the entire process. On our wedding day in NYC, she brought such warmth and calm, and captured every moment so beautifully and authentically. Her talent speaks for itself—our photos are absolutely stunning, and we've received endless compliments from friends and guests. These images are something we will treasure forever, and we can’t wait for the chance to work with Sarah again to capture more of life’s big moments.

and then had her photograph the entire event. During our photo shoot she made us feel comfortable and at ease (I was very nervous and worried I would look awkward). During the party she perfectly blended into the background, capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. Sarah was a pleasure to work with. Extremely detail oriented, quick to respond to e-mails, great communication, and very kind. Would highly recommend booking Sarah for your event!

to taken. Her work is incredible and I could not have been happier with how our photos came out. I have received so many compliments on them - they are artistic and unique while also being timeless. Sarah is truly talented. She captured the day perfectly and I feel so lucky to forever have these photos to remember our wedding.

e live outside of New York so were not able to do an engagement shoot with Sarah, instead meeting her Friday for our rehearsal dinner. She immediately put us at ease and wowed us with the photos taken over the weekend. I would recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone getting married!

gical day ever. You two were phenomenal. You helped curate such a calm and fun energy throughout the day, and we just cannot thank you enough. As we mentioned, we both are SO awkward and hate taking photos and it was so easy with you both. We want to have a wedding every day so we can have you two with us.”

was the right fit for my husband and me who can both be pretty camera shy. Not only is she warm and easy to work with, but she's also incredibly organized and made sure every important shot got taken without interrupting the flow of the day. For our wedding, she delivered over 1200 incredible photos that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

s the only photographer we contacted after we got engaged. Sarah is so great at putting you at ease in front of the camera, it really felt like working with a friend. Sarah's communication was very clear and prompt throughout the process, and she worked really well with our planners to give us a schedule that made sense for our big day. Sarah and her second shooter Mira were great at wrangling everyone for all the various family shots and guiding us  from first look through to the reception. And, of course, our pictures turned out amazing, it brings us so much joy to be able to look back at our wedding through Sarah's lens — we couldn't recommend her more.

itant about photoshoots, was completely at ease under her guidance. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Sarah was incredibly attentive to our vision, and we felt heard throughout the entire process. The final photos exceeded all of our expectations. They beautifully captured the joy, love, and intimacy of our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a talented and compassionate photographer who will create timeless memories.

st bringing out your best. My husband and I LOVED our engagement shoot with her - and she took great care to reschedule 3x to ensure we got the perfect weather day. I told Sarah I don't know how to pose and she gave perfect instruction. She is *not* an editorial photographer, but damn, does she make you naturally glow and shine. It was an honour and a privilege to work with Sarah (and her darling team!) and we would do it a thousand times over. We definitely want her to shoot us in our first home too! Sarah was clear, concise, reasonable, respectful, fun, nurturing, confidence-boosting and just an overall enriching person to work with, could not imagine anyone better on your most important day. We also had a multicultural wedding and she took great care to make sure that was honoured in all its beauty - and she handled my mother with grace ;] Over a year later, not a day passes where I don't look back fondly at the beautiful memories captured on that day.

date, we were quickly in need of someone dependable and tremendously talented. A friend, a respected wedding planner, recommended Sarah, and from the moment I saw her beautiful portfolio, I was ecstatic she was available. Her warmth, humor, and positive energy won me over instantly, creating a real collaborative approach, exactly what we wanted. Sarah's guidance was invaluable, especially as we planned in the midst of unfortunate challenges with my Dad's health. She became the supportive, organized, and caring presence I needed, acting like a guardian angel throughout the planning. She not only helped us find an incredible H+Mu team, floral designer, videographer, and day-of planner (on short notice) but also even helped me find my wedding shoes! Sarah's expert recommendations and guidance brought everything together magically. On the wedding day itself, Sarah was my trusted wing-woman. I had planned several surprises for my then-fiancé, my Dad, and our guests, and Sarah and her team were right there with me to make them happen. She kept us on schedule (a feat in itself) and ensured every "surprise" moment was beautifully captured. When I look back at our photos, they bring me right back to that day. The laughter, the warmth, the love, and the silly moments that define my family shine through every image. They’re beyond the wedding shots—they’re truly a gift of such magnificent memories. If you want a photographer who will capture your day exquisitely and support you every step of the way, Sarah is absolutely the person you want by your side. We couldn’t be more grateful.

they unfortunately had to cancel with just two months to go. We frantically searched online to find someone else and when we landed on Sarah, it felt like fate that she was still available for our day. We spent over 45 minutes on the phone with her during our intro call because it was just so easy to talk to her. On the day of our wedding, she came in ready to go, whipping out all kinds of emergency supplies in the bridal suite as needs came up, and easily made friends with our moms, sisters, and the HMU artists. When it came time for our first look and portrait shots, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and never pushed us to keep going when we started to get a little tired and hot. She was extremely respectful of our needs and really let us enjoy our day together without being overly stressed about the photos. The whole day felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. And not only did she make us feel that way, but our entire family had such pleasant interactions with her as well. She is incredibly kind and personable and her warmth was felt by everyone. Her talent is also unbelievable. Sarah's photos are absolutely stunning. She did not miss a single moment, and truly delivered on getting posed shots that felt real and candids that captured the memories you want to hold onto forever. (And not to mention, she shot our entire wedding solo!) I told Sarah at the beginning that I was a huge fan of her black-and-white shots as well and she did not hold back at all. If you're a big fan of B&W she is seriously your gal! Every photo we got back feels like it should be in a magazine. She really does have such an amazing eye and an incredible, unique style. We have gotten so many compliments on the photos in the past few weeks from our family and friends and it's all thanks to Sarah. I cannot recommend her enough (seriously I could go on forever.) If you're looking for a talented, lovely human to capture your big day, please book her. It was the best decision we made throughout our entire planning process.

p. Amazing photos that captured every angle of our wedding paired with an amazing, an intimate experience with her and her team that removed any stress or worrying about wedding photos, knew exactly how and where to get the best photos at and around our venue and received rave reviews from every guest.

to be the one to capture our day and make our vision come alive. And she did just that! Not only on our wedding day, but at our engagement shoot as well. Our photos came out ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and we couldn’t be happier with them. Everyone was asking me how I found such a calm, easygoing and professional photographer because they were just as impressed as we originally were. I promise you will not be disappointed in the quality of her work and the genuine love she has for her profession.

y and party, she was a great presence capturing all of the special moments (both organically and all of our requested shots). She was truly one of the best parts of the wedding and we would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the NY area!

apture breathtaking black and white photos amidst the rest of her fantastic work. These monochrome shots added a timeless, elegant touch to our album that we absolutely adore. What made our experience even more special was Sarah's lovely personality. She made us feel completely at ease on our wedding day, which allowed for authentic and candid moments to be beautifully captured. Her warmth, patience, and professionalism throughout the day were exceptional. Sarah not only takes incredible photos but also brings a fantastic presence to your event. We can't recommend Sarah and Ryon Lockhart Photography enough. Thanks to her, our wedding memories are not only visually stunning but also filled with the genuine joy and emotion of the day. Thank you, Sarah!

– there is no need to look any further. Sarah will capture your special day through the artistry that is her camera. Living in NYC and having our wedding in Brooklyn, we KNEW we wanted a NY city photographer. That's about all we knew. When we saw Sarah’s work through her socials, we felt all the vibes. It was a match made in heaven and we had no idea just how flawless, classy, professional and stylish these photos would be! WEDDING DAY Sarah and Mira worked their magic all morning into the night. They were also really friendly and awesome people to work with. Your wedding day can go by fast, and there is a lot to think about (or not think about) that can escape you. Our pictures were the easiest thing about our wedding day. They took the lead and knew the territory for the best picture opps. No detail was left uncaptured, as they knew every inch of the venue and decor as well! They knew who the important people were and really worked the room, the people, and most importantly always circled back to us for more pictures as ideas came to them. THE PICTURES A simple WOW, JUST WOW is all that is needed to describe our final pictures. Seriously, we were left speechless and have had endless compliments from our family and guests about the composition. Without listing all the things that can be captured in a wedding, Sarah and team of course captures all that. But that’s merely the tip of her work. To me, the pictures told a story. There were many photos that you can literally put in a magazine, but it was the unique and stylish photos of us, the venues, and candids that we will cherish FOREVER. They captured all the moments and all the people from morning to midnight. If you want your wedding story to be told and captured through the lens. If you want high quality, professionally edited pictures, unmatched point of view, and an overall great person and team… Ryon/Lockhart Photography is the easiest decision you will make for your wedding day. We were referred by two friends and we will recommend her to anyone!

in all of her planning and made us feel at ease that everything was handled. I had to push back our engagement shoot last minute due to a work emergency and she could not have been more gracious about it (and didn't charge for the delay). And most importantly, she made the wedding day super fun and the photos are GORGEOUS. She captured the day and our essence absolutely perfectly, we love looking at them and remembering all the memories. Would recommend her to ANYONE!

he most comfortable in front of a camera and Sarah made the engagement session and our wedding day so fun and seamless - it felt like she was just hanging out with us, capturing beautiful moments and really let us be ourselves. Working with the right photographer was our #1 priority and I am truly so happy we found Sarah. We are looking forward to working with her again for hopefully other big life milestones in the future!

endor selection process, we instantly connected with Sarah because of the warm and calm energy we could sense just through a phone call. She was so helpful during the planning process, answering my millions of questions and answering me quickly. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session (and the photos came out amazing) that we knew on the day of, everything would go smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better team than Sarah and Myra !!

mediately put us at ease and that carried though even more on the wedding day. I truly cannot imagine the day without her. Not only are the photos absolutely incredible, but her presence on that day will forever be remembered. We are so appreciative to have worked with such a kind and thoughtful person. Thank you, Sarah and team!

mic, playful yet professional style and was ready to book as soon as we spoke on the phone. Sarah, herself is so lovely - we spent over an hour talking and going over my wedding vibe and she absolutely got our vision down to a T! Our pictures were so insanely beautiful and once again, Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. You will not be disappointed! P.S. Her assistant, Myra was a lowkey rockstar. We loved them both!!

f. She was flexible when we wanted to add more coverage hours to our wedding day and was responsive throughout the entire lead up to our day, ensuring ongoing communication during the process and kindly answering my many questions. Sarah was a true gem. Ryon:Lockhart photography captured our day beautifully - even when it rained! We ended up loving the photos in the rain the most. Sarah did such a beautiful job and we loved all of the photographs we received. She truly captured the emotions of the day in an artistic and unique way. We were looking for a photographer who could capture candid moments as well as formal photos and she succeeded at both. We had a tight time window between the ceremony and the reception to get formal family pics in, and they did it flawlessly! Sarah definitely brought a sense of calm, creativity and joy to our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with. Pictures were very important to us, and I would recommend Ryon:Lockhart again and again. They are the best at their craft.

have had her as our wedding photographer. From our first phone call, it felt like I was catching up with an old friend – Sarah is so down to earth, organized, professional, and thoughtful. We first had an engagement session with Sarah in Central Park, where she made us feel so at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She really took her time with the session, was so flexible and made sure we got all the shots we wanted with in a variety of locations. The pictures turned out beautifully and we couldn’t be happier with them. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was so helpful and responsive every time I reached out to bounce ideas off her, giving me advice for how to schedule the day, recommending other vendors, giving general wedding tips, etc. For our wedding day, Sarah and her assistant Mira arrived right on schedule and immediately got to work documenting the day. I was so impressed with how they blended seamlessly into the party, managing to capture the most beautiful candid shots and document all the little details, as well as making sure to check off everything on our shot list. Our pictures came out STUNNING – they are my dream wedding photos and really capture the joy and emotion of the day. Overall, I cannot recommend Sarah enough, she is tremendously talented and so wonderful to work with. Any couple would be lucky to have her for their big day!

s throughout our wedding day—I've looked back at the digital album a million times since we received it several months ago. Every shot is just so good! Sarah is so talented, kind, reliable, and organized. She's the type of calming presence you want on your wedding day. She was also flexible, as we changed our wedding date and engagement shoot date due to Covid. Leading up to our wedding, Sarah met us in NYC for an engagement shoot on a chilly October day and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (all while being far along in her pregnancy, though that definitely didn't slow her down!). On the big day, Sarah and her team arrived promptly and immediately got to work documenting. All along the process and still, Sarah has been so easy to get in touch with and so responsive. She was truly a joy to work with—and our family and friends thought so too. She's definitely someone you want as part of your wedding team!

ocations, etc. When the big day arrives, I'm usually running around like a chicken with my head cut off doing a million things. Sometimes photographers pull me in to ask questions, to help me pose groups, to call out photo groupings, etc. which takes me away from the work I should be focusing on. That is not the case with Sarah. She was able to take my documents and completely run with it. The group got ALL of their shots done before the ceremony AND they stuck to the timeline. Sarah was completely self sufficient and worked with her assistant to corral many wandering family members along with the wedding party to get the job done in an enjoyable way. I have no doubt that the photos are going to be flawless and cannot wait to see them! Photography and how it's executed can make or break the day. Book Sarah so you know you're in good hands :)

nd accommodating. They made us feel so beautiful and handled e everything from the individual to the couple to the group shots with such ease. Photography was a huge part of our wedding and something we really cared about, so we went through several photographers before finding Sarah. Right off the bat, we could tell that Sarah got us and understood our vision and what we wanted and when it came to the day of, she executed it perfectly. One thing I really appreciated was how attentive Sarah was to our feelings throughout the day. There is no way to prepare for how overwhelming a wedding day can be, but Sarah was constantly checking in, making sure we were feeling up to more photos, and if we weren't, she adjusted the schedule and made it work so we could enjoy the day to the fullest. We went to several locations prior to the ceremony and got what I can only imagine are amazing shots. When it came to the reception, Sarah was right in the mix with us getting those joy filled, party photos. I would recommend Lockhart Photography again and again to anyone who is planning a wedding. We cannot thank them enough!

lutely not comfortable in front of a camera, and Sarah could not have made the experience any easier or more enjoyable. We were laughing the whole time, not taking anything too seriously, and ended up having the BEST time with Sarah whenever she was around. She helped put together a custom price/package for us since we were dealing with such a unique set of circumstances, and was also there to help guide us in making decisions around what to photograph, when she should be there and what types of photos were important to capture. She was also incredible at managing every situation, including family, friends and a variety of different personalities. She knew exactly when my husband and I wanted to be left alone (and would help us escape!) but also captured the most incredible candid shots of all of our friends and family laughing and dancing together. The only negative is that we dont have anything else we can hire Sarah to photograph for us, so we miss her!! Cant recommend Sarah and her team enough. She will make your entire experience fun and exciting, and will end up capturing the moments that make you look back on your wedding with the fondest memories.

made us feel at ease. My husband and I are not inherently photogenic and she helped us to get some unbelievable photos. She took her time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. They were edited to perfection and returned back to us in a timely manner. On our actual wedding day she was able to effectively get photos of our incredibly large wedding party and any other members we listed without interfering with the timeline of the event. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how kind, professional, and talented Sarah is. Do yourself a favor and pick Sarah for your wedding as she will be hands down your favorite person you are working with!

und on the wedding day felt like another friend at the party - she is kindest, most positive, and fun person to have around. We are not used to being photographed but Sarah made us feel at ease and laid back (which is our style) and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out. We would without question recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and look forward to working with her in the future!!

wedding she was so great to have around! She is very sweet and professional. When we received our wedding photos we were so thrilled with the results and looking at them brings me right back to the best day ever. I highly recommend Sarah!

thoughtful, and incredibly talented. She made this process, from booking to engagement session to our wedding day so easy and joyful. On our wedding day, she arrived early and with so much excitement, it instantly made us at ease. You are with your photographer all day and honestly, having Sarah there was like hanging out with a friend (who happens to be amazing, thoughtful photographer). I think Covid brings out the best or worst in people and truly I can say with Sarah, it showed just how amazing she is, not only as a vendor, but as a person. When weddings were getting cancelled left and right, it’s easy to put your needs first. But Sarah put us first - she was there was we needed to bounce ideas for new plans and entertained all of our new date proposals. This is just who she is - empathetic and nice, and aware that she’s with couples during an incredibly important moment. Thank you, Sarah!!!

fun and Sarah was extremely generous with her guidance when asked, even recommending other vendors who she trusted. By the time we were on-site it felt like a friend was taking our photos, even though we were meeting IRL for the first time. Even though my husband and I usually hate having our photos taken, she made the pre-ceremony photoshoot fun for us and, most importantly, we are THRILLED with the final shots! She captured all of the beautiful and hilarious moments that made the wedding truly feel like it was "us."

ding photographer was always a daunting process, as I wanted to make sure the photographer not only captured what I would have but also understood us as a couple and was able to read the room! Sarah from Ryon / Lockhart exceeded our expectations! We bonded during our pre-wedding shoot and spent the time understanding our relationship, the type of wedding we were having and what was important to us. The day was blissful as we knew Sarah was capturing the moments she knew meant so much to us and fit our personality. Her ability to capture the day and all it's details - formal and candid - allowed us to relive all the feelings and emotions we experienced then and will now be able to cherish forever. Thank you Ryon / Lockhart. We are so grateful for your ability to capture our special day.

f candid moments with beautiful portraits. We had wanted something super chic and romantic and a bit journalistic and that's exactly what we got. The mix of black and white and color is just so moody and romantic. She is an AMAZING value for her price. She was also so flexible to work with yet provided direction when we needed it during engagement photos. Day of she was incredible. No stressing over timing or family shots or even the way in which we were positioned or moved. It made such an impact on setting the tone for the whole day. Her assistant also brought a separate camera and shot in film which we especially loved - they turned out unbelievably cool. She hadn't met our videographer until the day of and they were both so calm and casual and worked perfectly together. Do not underestimate the personal connection - you will be spending all day with your photographer and TBH we should have even booked more time!! We couldn't be more grateful.

were referred to Sarah through a friend and I already knew I loved her style from her gallery- I wanted very much a light, crisp look but also someone who could incorporate the perfect sunset lighting and knew how to take modern/city pictures. After speaking with Sarah over the phone, it re-instilled my desire to have her on our big day. Once we realized a June 2020 wedding wasn't realistic, we postponed until September...but go figure COVID and we worked with Sarah through another postponement. While we decided to move our big reception until Sept of 2021, we decided to safely get married in Sept of 2020 with our closest friends and family. Sarah was absolutely understanding during this stressful time. Each time we had to postpone and work with the venue on a new date- we had to realign all the vendors once again and Sarah worked with us through it all- even giving us advice outside of photography. We hired Sarah for our "microwedding" and I cannot tell you how many people have told us the pictures were stunning quality. We did our first looks at Gramercy Park, got married at a church in Chelsea and then did our indoor/outdoor celebration at a country club out in Long Island. Sarah was a team of one on this day and it amazes me how she was able to get all those pictures, from all the different angles. There wasn't a person on our list that she didn't cross off and we are beyond happy with how the pictures came out this year and we can't wait to be working with her again next year on our big "vow renewal" reception day.

om and I even had a few requests for editing some of our wedding photos, and Sara went out of her way to ensure our photos were perfect. I hope to work with Sara again in the future for family sessions once we have a little one. I would recommend Sara to my friends, family, and any engaged couple.

absolute perfection! I knew when planning my wedding picking the wedding photographer was going to be one of the biggest and hardest decision I had to make. Your wedding photographer is with you for a lot of time on your Wedding Day so it’s really important to choose someone you feel comfortable around because that person becomes part of your support system on that day. From the moment, I had my first phone call with Sarah I knew I wanted to work with her, because she it was so easy to talk to and she is so down to earth. Not only were my Husband and I soo impressed with Sarah but both of our families couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was. On another note, I am also a 2020 bride which means my original wedding plans had to change and I was so fortunate to be working with vendors and like Ryon: Lockhart that understood the tough decision I was having to make and were so flexible with me while I was trying to navigate postponing my original wedding while also trying to plan a micro wedding. Overall working with Sarah is such a pleasure and she is so talented, if you are lucky and she has your wedding date available you definitely don’t want to miss the opportunity to work with her!!!

ficulty with our wedding because my husband and I were supposed to be married in April 2020. Sarah and Tim were so gracious and easy to work with during the re-scheduling process. On the day of our micro wedding, Sarah was a joy to be around and so prepared and professional! And most importantly, our pictures were AMAZING!! She captured all of the love and laughter of the day, we were blown away when we received our gallery. I highly recommend Sarah and Tim, we were so glad we were able to have them photograph our wedding and cannot wait to work with them in the future!

July wedding, Sarah was incredibly understanding, and was flexible as we worked with our venue to find a new date in 2021; rescheduling her was likely the EASIEST part about having to postpone our wedding. Better yet, we reached out to Sarah about a month later because we decided to still get legally married on our original date, but in my parents backyard with only 14 guests. I knew Sarah would capture the day so perfectly, and we were ecstatic when she agreed to come shoot our small ceremony. She was so respectful (wore a mask the whole time!), so organized, and captured every moment (and more) than we could have ever imagined. We teared up when we received our images. Not to mention that she is so easy to talk to, so fun to be around, and makes you feel so comfortable (and not awkward!) in front of the camera because she focuses on capturing real, genuine/candid moments instead of all posed, highly filtered and forced images. We are forever thankful for her and we are so excited for her to capture our wedding #2 next year (whatever it ends up looking like!)

o-to photographer on my "team." She is everything you want in a photographer for your special day: cool, collective, real, relatable, flexible, fun and simply elevates the entire day with her positive energy and genuine personality. You spend the most amount of time with your photographer out of any other vendor on the day of, so you need to be able to be comfortable with your photographer. And I don't think you could be more at ease than with Sarah. She is also an advocate for you and your photos. Making sure you're having the best day while also getting your dream shots for life! Photography is one of the most important wedding investments because it is one of the few things that will help you capture the joy and last for a lifetime. You want to invest in yourself for your wedding, and for that, I can't recommend Sarah enough - you'll be over the moon. She is simply a wonderful human being!

job of making couples comfortable in front of her camera. She really captures the joy, spirit, and energy of each wedding day. Behind the scenes, I love working with Sarah because she's organized, communicative, and always a consummate professional. Sarah makes an incredible addition to any vendor team, and I cannot recommend her more highly!

et Sarah over a few margaritas and chatted about how my husband and I met. We felt like we knew her forever and it was a no brainer to have her photograph our wedding. We were lucky enough to have both Sarah and her husband Tim spend the day with us on our wedding day. Their energy was incredible and we could not have felt more relaxed! I don’t love taking pictures and when I take them, I feel a bit awkward. Sarah was magic and made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while taking pictures. She knew exactly what to say and how to loosen us up. Not only did she capture the posed pictures that we wanted in front of NYC locations that truly meant a lot to us in our relationship, but she captured organic moments of us with our friends and family that truly translate how much fun we were having and how much love was in the room. We were so so lucky to have Sarah and Tim at our wedding and the incredible pictures to go along with it. We hope to hire Ryon Lockhart for any photos needed in the future!! Lots of love to you guys!!

l can't believe how unbelievably beautiful our photos came out. Sarah is not only incredibly talented but she is also such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I really don't like taking pictures and Sarah made us feel so comfortable and gave great guidance on how to pose so that we looked natural and like ourselves. We would highly recommend Ryon:Lockhart to anyone!

session as well as the wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone! We have received so many compliments on our photos!
