Sarah Marie Photos

She completely captured every ounce of our day, and we are so thankful Marie was our photographer!!

f our highest priorities. She was super easy to communicate with and worked very hard to make all of our wishes come true. We loved that her work looks genuine, it has a nice romantic and intimate feel. We pretty much left all of the ideas up to her, and she came up with some really creative and fun shots. She also was very thorough getting all of the group photos, and capturing all of the big moments. The quality of the photos she gave us is wonderful. I can’t recommend Marie enough.

nd see how in the moment I am. I never really felt like I was posing, she was just capturing us!! She and Ben helped so much on our wedding day, they kept us on time and they knew exactly what they were doing, every time I turned around she was making something happen, and it was amazing!!

o book Sarah Marie Photos but we went with the other and I am so sad that we did. However, we hired Marie to take some bridal photos after the wedding and then she did a "day after session" a few months after the wedding and I am TOTALLY in LOVE with the photos!!! She gave us the dreamy pictures that I had always dreamed of! We will use their team for every photo shoot we have in the future!

g location, and ideas. The day of the wedding Marie was with me while I was getting ready, taking shots of me getting dressed, my bridesmaids and me with my family. Ben went ahead to the venue to get all the details before the guests arrival and then hung out with the guys while they got ready. During the wedding ceremony and reception they were perfect, from the family portraits to candid shots throughout the night! We did a "day after" photo shoot with them where we got dressed up again in our wedding attire, they were so excited about giving us beautiful photos and made us feel so special! Marie was super helpful with guidance and direction, especially when doing my bridal shots! I have recommended Marie and Ben to all our friends who have gotten engaged and they are ecstatic! I promise, if you want to have a great team to be by your side on your wedding day to capture everything, book them!

ackground setting. The pictures are just perfect. Sarah Marie was a pleasure to work with. She is so talented, had wonderful suggestions, and is very professional. The bridal session day with Sarah Marie is one of our favorite memories of the entire wedding event.

e dresses, the DJ, the venue, etc., etc...) Marie's photography was the one thing that was hands down worth every little penny. When my family members saw the photographs from our wedding they were all in awe (as were my husband and I), they kept saying, "How did she capture the love?!" She REALLY did. All the love and all the laughter. I think it's because she is not just there to capture moments - but she herself brings excitement, love, playfulness and joy to the table whenever there is a camera in her hand. From the first time we met her, that is all she has done: brought the love and the laughter. She is creative and funny - she's just not a generic photographer. Her wonderful attitude is completely contagious....she will pull the beauty and creativity forward in any situation - and I my husband and I are SO glad she was there to do so on our wedding day. And honestly she makes being in front of the camera so easy, she tells you exactly what to do and makes you look beautiful! I was very nervous she was going to say "just be natural" or "do something silly/funny". She will walk you through every pose step by step and still manage to capture candid "in the moment" photos. She was quick and easy to communicate with, which was a HUGE plus for me. She always took time to answer emails, texts, or calls to make sure that every single question I had was answered and never made me feel like I was a bother. The contract and deposit were all done online and I loved how simple it was. My husband and I cannot wait for another occasion to hire Marie (and her second shooter Ben)!!

tions and excellent poses. The pictures couldn’t have been better! We have already highly recommended her to our friends who will be using her, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly! And her second shooter was so amazing as well! They were a fantastic team!

to Marie was the way she captured light and every one of her couples looked so in love, happy, and in the moment. She is incredible at delivering these things because she is so focused on her clients and making sure they have a beautiful memory and beautiful photographs. She approached our engagement photos and wedding as a chance to give us a really fun experience and then she documented it beautifully. She is quick to respond to messages and was always open to responding to my one million questions. She is, of course, amazing at helping a wedding day flow effortlessly. My pictures are absolutely perfect and I would hire her again and again and again.

inute on a holiday weekend for our engagement pictures, but also gave a storybook telling of our wedding day with her photographs! Unfortunately, we could not afford to have both photos and a video but with Marie’s skills, she gave us scenes from our wedding day more beautiful than any video could have captured! We never had to think about what to do or had any awkward moments. Marie is fabulous with direction and tells you where she wants you, what to do and how to do it. This made the sessions effortless on our part. We just got to “stand there and look pretty.” ;) You meet her and feel like you’ve known her your whole life making the entire experience very comfortable. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Marie and her beautiful work! We look forward to more sessions with this amazing artist!!

ping me deal with the craziness of the wedding day. We found Marie from The Knot and fell in love with her style right away. We contacted her online from her website and was so pleased with her quick response to all of our questions. Our engament session turned out beyond our expectations. I could not believe how she made our little town look like something out of Pintrest! While doing our engament session we scoped out places to take our wedding pictures. This made me feel so stress free when it came to our wedding day! When Marie and Ben came to our wedding day they did awesome! They where so professional and fun to work with! They handled our large and crazy wedding party with ease. We felt like they where part of our wedding party not just someone we hired.

they deliver exactly what I wanted but they were the easiest and kindest people to spend our big day with. My now husband hates taking pictures more than anything in this world and expressed how much he genuinely enjoyed our photographers he quoted that "he did not even feel like he was taking pictures". In addition, I had many photographers tell me that they would not shoot our wedding day if we did not have a first look, and that was one thing that Grae and I both were not willing to budge on. When I expressed that concern to Marie she responded immediately, that it was no problem and was extremely flexible even though it was harder for her to get all the photos we wanted. I cannot put into words how loved we felt from the beginning of the wedding planning process to our big day. Because of Sarah Marie Photos we have the most beautiful pictures to remember the day and most importantly we met an amazingly talented kind-hearted person that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you, Sarah Marie Photos for making our special day truly unforgettable.

ive you will ever meet. She stood by my side and walked our families through a very stressful day and captured it all perfectly. If you are looking for a true storyteller, you have found one here!

of my friends weddings and I had others tell me I HAD to have her (they were bridesmaids or groomsmen in weddings she had photographed). The wedding day was wonderful, she was helpful, organized and made us laugh all day. Everyone fell in love with her (and her second shooter). She was with us all day and didn't make us shorten our day because she only covered so many hours (not all photogs do this). And the photos OH MY! I am totally in love. I feel like she captured the story that we wanted to tell. A day celebrating our love and the people that loved and supported us along the way! We will always call Marie to do our family photos and she will be a part of our family forever!

e had to book her for our wedding. The photos are all light and airy but so classic and perfect. She is so good at getting you to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She captured our entire day perfectly, we LOVED looking back at the reception especially. We talked to so many people and everything just flew by and it was so much fun going back through all the photos of our friends and family dancing and having the best time!!

ith her, so I knew I needed her for mine! She is so sweet and helpful, I felt like she was my second maid of honor. All the guys loved how quick and easy she made the photos! She captured everything so beautifully and I look at my photos daily! You will be so happy you booked her, I promise!!

s so helpful for someone who had no idea what he was looking for. I haven't been to a wedding since I was 5 and knew nothing about what happened at weddings except that I wanted a photographer. She was kind and answered one million questions from my fiance. Her style appealed to me: natural lighting, outdoors, nothing heavily touched up or stylized). Her simple, friendly approach to photography was another aspect I was excited about. Everything is done online, from the contracts to the photos. You have full access to your photos when she sends you your gallery (not all photographers do this!). Marie and her second shooter were there on the wedding day and worked with all of our guests so wonderfully. Overall, Marie really captured the spirit of our wedding which was small, carefree, and very laid back. Looking through the photos, which she returned to us before the 5 week estimate, I'm able to relive the day with all of its laughter and love perfectly and for a wedding photographer, that is exactly what you want.

pictures turned out beautiful. She was so easy to work with and she also worked around our schedules to make things happen! I would definitely recommend her to anyone that's getting married!! You will adore every moment and detail that she captures. Best decision we made!

g photos a million times, I knew exactly who I wanted to photograph my own. My husband and I wanted to do something a little different for our engagement photos, so she flew with us to Seattle and hiked with us all day. They are the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen, I can't believe they are mine. Marie was with us every second keeping things rolling on the wedding day when everything was falling apart. She did such a fantastic job and I am obsessed with my pictures. She deserves way more than 5 stars!!!!!!!!!

was one of his groomsmen, for example. (These were photographed, just not included in our photos after the fact.) The ceremony photos were only taken from the back of the room so you could see no details of people's faces, or what was happening. I specifically told her that I did not care if she were up in the front and moving around the room during the ceremony. (There were no photo restrictions as we were not at a church.) The only photo of the sand ceremony with my husband and my son is of my husband's back. You cannot even tell that there are two other people there and what we are doing. A lot of the photos are blurry, including photos that were meant to show detail in my dress, flowers, etc... and not blurry in an artistic way. There was only one photo of our reception decorations. There are many photos that she took that were left out. Like family photos that she took and photos that I and my mother specifically asked for, like the mother of the bride with the grandkids, for example. And the poses that she had us doing were the exact same as our engagement photos, which left little to choose from when going to make prints for our home. (Also because our faces were not clear in several of the more "formal" photos) I also had to go find her during the reception to have her take photos of things that were happening. Your wedding day is such a whirl wind, I wanted to be sure to be able to remember it, and tracking someone down to document it is not what I had in mind when hiring a photographer. Being an amateur photographer myself, I would think that for a $3000 price point, these issues would NOT happen. If she were charging less, I would say you get what you pay for...in this case, we were very disappointed with the final product and it was NOT WORTH the $3000. I hired her based on the photos that she showed on The Knot and her website, but I do not feel that we got that quality out of her on our wedding day. Sad.

stunning. She captured every moment and made everything look like a fairytale. I am so pleased with how everything turned out and we can't wait to have her back to New York to do more photos for us!

nd on your big day! We are totally obsessed with our photos and I cannot say enough nice things about Marie. I tell all my friends they have to book her, and you should too!!

ne with a unique style that would fit our personalities and style of our wedding. We had a very laid back, bohemian feel to our wedding, and Marie captured it perfectly. My husband and I are both so thankful that she flew across the country to photograph our wedding! I honestly look at my wedding photos ever day and show anyone that I can make look!

n, and I had a lot., every detail she helped me prepare for. I could call and ask how do u think this color or material will look in photos and she had an answer which in turn made my pictures flawless. Marie was. It only my photographer she became my friend, my family fell in love with her, I craved having her around at my wedding. We have 4 kids and through the process of keeping them separate from seeing me before I was ready to do first look Marie would run back and forth passing on ties or socks or instructions for the kids (and my husband ;) ) They truly loved her! I truly love her. At one point she was on the floor safety pinning my gown. She is so much more than a photographer, she is a blessing! Your pictures should be the best take away from the wedding bc that's what you are left with, but my relationship with Marie is more valuable than my stunning photos She is so creative! She gets shots you never thought of, she can find the intimate moments to capture, the ones that when you see the pic you immediately tear up and feel the emotion that was there that day! For our engagement shoot she helped me make it unique we picked out a planket and candles and pillows and lanterns through many many screenshots and text She made sure my outfit would match all the details we were adding to make the pics unique and GORGEOUS! On my wedding day I had 2 of her other photographers coming with her to shoot my wedding. After she arrived to my venue, she got a call that her friends had been in a horrific wreck and were life lighted to a hospital. With a soft voice she comes to me with more concern for me than for her broken heart, telling me don't panic I am going to take care of it and I can handle all the pics. I not once worried about her not being able to handle he perfect pictures, let's face it she had already amazed me with her talent in my first shoot, I offered several times for her to go be with her friends but she was staying and wasn't going to let my day not be captured, by her! When I got the photos I don't know how she did it but she got every angle of aevery second it was unbelievable! We did a day after shoot she recommended where it could be more creative and more intimate and just focus on us and our family So we got dressed back up in our gowns and the boys in their attire and got on our farm, I climbed trees in the sunset, I spun in circles in my gown, I ran, I laid down all at her direction . Our kids climbed and ran and jumped! The pictures were amazing! You may ask how I got my farmer husband and 4 kids to agree to multiple photo sessions..... I didn't have to, they were stoked to see Ms Marie again, she is so easy and fun and personable to be around If you are even think about booking this photographer do it now You are booking a life long friend and an angel!!!!!! Wish I could leave a galaxy of stars for review but since the highest oops 5 I'll settle with that. Although it's not enough!

ce for wedding vendors. She has traveled the world so she helped us decide on locations and where/when to have the wedding. She traveled Europe with us for two weeks and photographed with entire trip! She has become one of our closest friends through this process. She fit right in with our family and our friends adored having her around. She did everything she could to make our trip magical and the photos are everything we hoped for and more. She really has such an incredible talent and sweet spirit. You will love her, everyone does!!!

mera so I wanted to make sure I picked someone who would help me with that. Marie did all of that and so much more. She is fun, patient, calming, and so creative. The way she captures light still amazes me. I am so happy I found her!!!!!

d awkward in front of a camera so I knew it had to be someone who would make me feel at ease. Marie did all of that and so much more. She became a friend and someone I ran to when everything went wrong. She made my wedding day so special! And the photos are more than I could ever have dreamed of. They are artistic and so beautiful. There is a very natural and effortless feel to her work!

autiful bride in the world, and made taking hundreds of photos so easy and fun! I can't imagine my big day without her right there with me helping everything move smoothly and keeping me smiling! oh and the photos, im obsessed!!! I will cherrish this sweet friend and all our our memories from my wedding day forever!

I knew that I could trust her. Our engagement photos are incredible, I continue to get compliments two years later. On our wedding day, Marie was there every moment, not only taking photos, but being a calming force and friend. She was there when I needed her, and then invisible taking the "candid" shots that I wanted! She has a way of making every photo look natural and effortless. I can promise you it will be the best decision you ever made to book her!

she is! She was so helpful and engaged in our meetings and made sure she knew my vision for and I had no doubt she would capture it perfectly! We had an engagement photo session that was so quick and easy and the photos were exceptional! We were able to use them for the save the date card, gifts for family members and we displayed them at wedding festivities. Our wedding day was perfect! Marie was there every step of the way making sure everything was running smoothly and we (bride and groom) were calm and happy. She made sure everyone was where they should be at any given time and captured every magical moment! She also worked perfectly with my videographer and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! We love Marie and cannot wait to have her capture more memories in our future!

effortless and stress free which is a must for wedding time! My husband is shy so he is never excited about pictures however he loves Marie and how quick and easy everything was with her!! She knows what she's doing and I can't wait for her to be able to capture more milestones in our lives post wedding ❤️ I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

yone and everyone. She's extremely professional and just fun to be around. She puts you (and you groom) at ease during the shooting. And of course when you get your images back you will be on cloud nine. I am honored to have every picture in my house taken by her!

y. On each occasion she is calm, organized and gets the job done quickly. She has so much experience and knows just what to do. Her photos are breath taking, she is so very talented. Anyone who gets the opportunity for her to shoot, will have that moment in time captured perfectly for always.

er price extremely reasonable (and half that of other wedding photographers), but the quality of her work is outstanding. Honestly, I wish I had another occasion just to get my picture taken by Marie!

and I had already been friends for awhile before I got engaged. We instantly clicked. She really listened to exactly what I wanted out of our photos and made the entire experience just so fun and easy. My normally very shy fiance had more fun than me I think during our engagement session! On the day of the wedding, Marie was like a second wedding planning and MOH in addition to being our photographer! She made sure everything was running smoothly, kept us on time, had fun with my bridal party, and kept me calm and smiling throughout! Our photos are absolutely stunning. Marie and her team captured every important moment of our wedding weekend. She is simply the best!

y bridals, and wedding day pictures. Every moment that we could have thought of to be special was captured in a pure and beautiful photo. Marie is such an amazing person and photographer. She helped so much with our big day, even outside of the photography, especially in insuring that things went smoothly. I highly recommend this photographer to anyone that feels the same way as I do about capturing their wedding day and how important it is in reflecting on their BIG DAY!

llowed her work for years. She made weddings look magical, exotic and perfect. I didn't even think to look elsewhere, and I am so very thankful. So much work goes into a wedding--the planning, the organizing, the phone calls, the decorating, the fine details, the people, the companies, the shopping--it all gets a little hectic. Henry and I were so very lucky to have an incredible support system made up of family and friends to make our wedding day everything we had envisioned. Among these was our wonderful photographer, Marie. The morning of our wedding I woke up to every bride's worst fear when they've planned an outdoor wedding: RAIN. The rain wasn't a 15 minute summer shower, but instead an all day thunderstorm threat. It threw a huge kink in our carefully planned out wedding day schedule. I was a happy and excited, but also a nervous wreck all day, and when I get nervous I chatter--about everything. Silly things. Irrelevant things. And our sweet photographer let me talk her ear off the whole time I was getting my hair done, my makeup done, as she helped loft me and my dress into her car, when she (kindly) drove me to Kiesel for our pictures, as I stood under an umbrella watching it rain for over an hour, as she helped me struggle with my garter; as she assured me everything was going to be okay; literally all day. In the end, the sun came bursting out 15 minutes before our ceremony, we said our "I Do's" under the beautiful oak trees, and took our pictures under a stunning sunset. I am so thankful for Marie, because she ended up being so much more than our photographer that day. She was a coordinator, a confidant, and a friend. All day she told me what every bride needs to hear: that I looked beautiful, the wedding was beautiful, and that everything was perfect. Thank you, Marie, for helping to make our wedding day one of the best days of our lives, and for giving us thousands of magical memories to look back on! Heatherly & Henry May 10th, 2014

taker, so he was a bit anxious. Within 5 minutes, Marie had worked her majic, and had us both relaxed and enjoying the moment. She truly is unlike any other photographer. The passion she has for her work is both evident in her products, but also in how she manages her business. She is fantastic to work with and cannot say enough about how much you will love her and her work.

reathtaking, she is the easiest photographer I have ever worked with. She handles the stress of a busy wedding day so calmly and makes the wedding party and all those involved feel at ease & comfortable with what sometimes can be a long time period of photo taking. Oftentimes photographers bark orders at the wedding party without understanding that they are all a part of the special day, Marie is extremely patient while also maintaining a healthy control of the room. We continue to refer our friends and family to Marie anytime they are in need of a photographer. She's the best!

hat puts her miles ahead of the other photographers. Her ability to adapt and fix anything was what impressed me the most. The first wedding I was in that she shot, the bride was unhappy with her makeup, Marie stepped in and fixed it and saved the day! I was blown away with her going above and beyond to ensure the brides happiness. You cannot go wrong with Marie. Thank you Marie for being so wonderful!

very moment of my wedding day will be forever remembered thanks to her.

the camera (fiance's/husbands included), you are in good hands! Thank you, Marie for our timeless pictures from our big day!

d amazing pictures to show us and we knew right away that she was the one we wanted for our wedding. She was incredible on our wedding day. She knew exactly what my wife wanted, and took excellent pictures of us, our friends, and our family.. We had a large wedding party, and she kept us organized and on task. I generally dislike taking pictures, but I felt comfortable and at ease with Marie. We were more than happy with how the pictures turned out. Thanks Marie for everything.
