Even though, the week before the wedding they couldn't be there, they were extremely helpful in finding us photographers that were still available for our day. Sarah and her husband were amazing to work with!
Marie and Ben are the most amazing people and photographers around! We had the unfortunately reality of having to move our wedding date due to COVID-19, and Marie made sure to put us at ease during the most stressful time of our lives. When everything else was uncertain, I never doubted for a moment that Marie was going to come through and make our day as perfect as we imagined.
Marie has such a beautiful gift for capturing pure magic in her photos! I am not a person who loves getting my photo taken, but Marie makes you feel so comfortable and captures the most beautiful genuine shots! I can't say enough about her and Ben!
Marie and Ben were absolutely so much more than we could have ever asked for! They were so friendly and helpful, and honestly the best vendor we worked with. I will absolutely be going to Marie first for all of our future photography needs.
Marie and Ben were amazing to work with. They gave us great instruction on posing and handled the wedding party and family photos wonderfully, getting people where they needed and finding the best arrangement for us all. They arrived on time and stuck around to get candids at the reception as well. Would definitely recommend!
I highly recommend Sarah Marie Photos! Our wedding photos were PERFECT and we couldn’t be happier with Sarah Marie Photos!! They have been nothing short of AMAZING!
Marie was hands down the best decision we made when it came to a photographer. She takes every little detail into account, and we could not have been more pleased with her work. She completely captured every ounce of our day, and we are so thankful Marie was our photographer!!
Marie is such a pleasure to work with, and our wedding photos are gorgeous. My husband and I are both artists with some photography experience, so choosing a photographer was one of 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.
I could go on and on and on! Marie and her team are so much fun and the very best to work with! Her photos are so natural and effortless, I feel like I look back at all my photos and 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!!
Marie is the very best! When we were planning our wedding we decided to go with a photographer (not Marie) that my mom knew and we were so disappointed with our photos. I wanted to 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!
If you are looking for a super fun team that will exceed your expectations, book Marie now!! Marie and Ben are the most amazing team, they met with us to discuss our vision, wedding 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!
Sarah Marie did an amazing job with our daughter's bridal photography session. The photos were incredible. I love the way that Sarah Marie captured the bride, her dress and the background 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.
Marie was the best part of our wedding. Well, maybe second to the actually getting married part! Out of all the things my husband and I budgeted/paid for (the cake, the flowers, the 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)!!
Marie is the absolute best! More than willing to work with our schedule. Puts in the extra time to be early and get absolutely every shot you could want! Great at finding nice locations 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!
Just go ahead and book Marie, you will not regret it. I was so focused on finding the perfect photographer, I went through hundreds of websites and Instagram profiles. What drew me 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.
Marie was an absolute blessing! We feel so incredibly lucky to have had such an amazing photographer capture some of our most precious memories. She not only accommodated us last minute 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!!
Marie was amazing to work with! She was so much more then just a photographer. She was my own personal attendant, from fixing my belt on my dress when it started falling off to helping 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.
Where do I even begin...I have always admired Sarah Marie Photos and hoped that one day I would be able to have them for my own special day. It was a dream come true, not only did 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.
Marie is the very best! She flew to Alabama to photograph our wedding and we are thrilled with our photos! She is the most amazing, kind hearted, patient, passionate, loving, creative 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!
Marie is absolutely the best! We had a short engagement and we were worried that she would already be booked for our date but we got lucky and she was open! She photographed a few 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!
WE LOVE MARIE! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Marie and her team. She and her second shooter took our beautiful engagement photos and right when we got them back knew we 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!!
You have to have Marie as your photographer!! I planned my date around her schedule because she is the very best! She photographed my best friends wedding and we had the best day with 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!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Marie. First of all, she immediately responded to my email about booking with her and talked to me about a package for my wedding. She was 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.
Marie was a total blast to work with! Our Bridal party loved working with her as well and she was so easy to get along with. We did an engagement shoot with her as well and all the 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!
Marie really is THE BEST EVER!! She photographed my best friends wedding and sister-in-laws wedding and after spending so much time with her and looking through both sets of wedding 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!!!!!!!!!
Engagement photos were great. The wedding photos left a LOT to be desired. She did not include any formal photos of me and my maid of honor and the groom and his brother-in-law who 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.
My fiance and I decided on a small backyard wedding in NYC and we wanted someone to tell our story and capture it beautifully. Marie worked her magic and the photos are simple and 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!
Marie will be the best decision you make for your wedding day! She is way more than a photographer. She will be a calming force and friend through your wedding planning process and 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!!
We absolutely adore Marie! She came to Orlando to photograph our wedding for us and we are thrilled with our photos! When we were deciding on photographers, we wanted to find someone 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!
Marie is phenomenal. From engagement pictures to wedding day pictures to a "day after" shoot (she recommended and by far my favorite session) she was so available for every question, 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!
My fiance and I decided early on in planning that we wanted a destination wedding. We finally landed on doing the wedding on the coast in Italy. Marie was our first and best choice 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!!!
Marie is INCREDIBLE! I was so worried about finding a photographer, I wanted to make sure that our day was perfectly captured. I also feel very shy and insecure in front of the camera 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!!!!!
I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I was so excited to find the perfect photographer to capture all of our memories throughout the year of our wedding. I am really shy and 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!
Marie is everything you want in a photographer. Not only is she so very talented at what she does, but she does it with so much joy and happiness! She made me feel like the most beautiful 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 wish my words were enough to tell you how in love we are with our photos. When we first met Marie, she was so out going and had tons of great energy! She put my mind at ease and 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!
Marie did such a great job capturing our day! I love looking back at the pictures and remembering the perfect day! I really felt like she got every photo that I wanted!
Marie is AMAZING! She was at the top of our list when it came to choosing a wedding photographer! Our official date was not set until we knew she was available. That's how awesome 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!
Marie is nothing short of amazing! By far the best photographer I have ever had. The pictures are AMAZING I love my wedding and engagement pictures! She makes everything completely 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!
Look no further. Marie with Sarah Marie Photos is incredible! Being a wedding professional and also repeat client of Marie's for years now - I can confindently recommend her to anyone 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!
Sarah is such a joy to work with. She is kind, friendly and professional. I've been lucky enough for her to shoot family photos, engagement photos and her wisdom on my wedding day. 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.
Marie was such an integral part to our wedding! I contacted countless other photographers with much disappointment prior to being directed towards Sarah Marie Photos. Not only is her 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!
Besides deciding to get married, choosing Marie to be our wedding photographer was the best decision we've made! I'll admit that I was a little biased from the start because 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!
To begin by saying that I am the MOST THANKFUL that we chose Sarah Marie Photos to be our wedding photographer would be an absolute understatement. We so treasure our engagement, my 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!
Whenever Henry proposed and we began planning our wedding, I knew I wanted Marie to be our photographer. I stumbled across her photography page by accident many years ago, and I followed 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!

Gosh, where to start!? Marie was absolutely fantastic to work with. She made the everything so much fun and captured the best moments of our lives. My husband is not a huge picture 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.
After seeing Marie shoot 2 of our friends weddings there was no doubt in my mind who we would need to call when my wife and I got engaged. Beyond the fact that Marie's photos are breathtaking, 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!
When I got engaged, there was no question on who I was going to get to be the photographer. I have been in several weddings with her and her professionalism and artistic style is what 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!
Marie is such a sweet and kind person. She listens to your requests and captures perfect moments through an artistic eye. It takes a talented person to do what she does. Each and every moment of my wedding day will be forever remembered thanks to her.
Marie takes breathtaking pictures and makes everyone feel such at ease. She has the vision-- all you have to do is bring a smile! For anyone who gets a little nervous in front of the camera (fiance's/husbands included), you are in good hands! Thank you, Marie for our timeless pictures from our big day!
Marie Mann is awesome. By far the best decision we made for our wedding. My wife and I booked Marie early on in the wedding planning process based on the work we were shown. She had 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.
Marie and her team made my wedding day one of the best days of my life. She captured all of our special moments and was there with us from start to when we left for the night. We couldn't have asked for a more fun and special day and a large part of it was because of Marie! Everyone was so relaxed and everything felt natural, which is not always easy on wedding days when taking so many pictures with so many ppl. It was seriously one of the best experiences and it makes us so happy to look at our photos now and remember that awesome day.
Marie is outstanding. She did our engagement session and our wedding photos. The engagement session was relaxing and fun. I felt as though I had known Marie all my life. She directed my attention to the camera without making me feel unworthy. The images from that shoot are some of my favorite. And then the wedding.... oh, the wedding photos. Not only did she make everyone comfortable, she even consoled me when the flowers ended up being the wrong color! She hung out with us All Day Long! By reducing our stress and helping things to go smoothly, she made the most happy day of my life even that much more happy! The phenomenal pictures from the wedding were memories that were captured in the most delightful way!
Marie is the best ever! She made my husband and I feel totally comfortable in front of her camera (my biggest fear) and made us look gorgeous! I am obsessed with the way she captures light and candid moments, you will not be disappointed, I can promise you that!
I'm not sure where to start. Marie was the very best decision we made when planning our wedding. She traveled across the country for us several times. Each time we talked on the phone, emailed, or met in person she was attentive and always made sure that what we wanted was most important to her. Our engagement photos were stunning and my bridal photos made me feel like a supermodel. The day of our wedding, she kept everyone calm and the show running smoothly. She is someone that my family will alway treasure and she has become a very sweet friend. Our wedding photos are a full timeline of a perfect day, she documented every laugh, tear, and moment perfectly. I will never be able to recommend her enough!
Marie was the best thing that happened to my wedding!! She is amazing at keeping everything on time...you don't need a coordinator! I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, a more perfect photographer and more perfect photos! You won't have to worry about anything with Marie in charge!
Marie is an amazing photographer! She made our day the absolute best and captured it to perfection! She is not only an amazing photographer but a beautiful person inside and out. She did so much more than just take photos to make our day perfect! She went above and beyond! She'll capture your day that resembles you and your soulmate. We love Sarah Marie Photos so much that she still captures our family to this day! Marie's spirit and talent will take your breath away!
Marie was an absolute life saver for our wedding day! Not only did she take AMAZING pictures, but she kept everyone so comfortable and on time! I would recommend her to anyone getting married or in need of professional photos!!!
Sarah Marie Photos is THE person to contact for photos! We had her do our engagement and if she was available for our wedding we would have booked that too! Our engagement photos were absolutely beautiful and there was so many creative photos. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable, but she made it look so easy and it was so much fun, not to mention it only took like an hour and a half!
great experience. Have not seen the prints yet, but a couple of pictures were released. Great! Can't wait to see the full package.
Marie and her husband Steve are so accomodating, easy to work with, and so much fun to be around! excellent quality photography with unique twist on photos. Love them!
