Where do I begin? Sarah is an outrageously brilliant photographer and I don't think I can write this review without crying. We fell in love with Sarah's style while looking at photographers' websites online. She uses natural light so masterfully and captures movement and life in her photos. We knew that photography was one of the few things on which we would not compromise...we wanted the best to help us remember our day.
We did a mini engagement shoot with her to get to know each other, and it took just a few minutes to realize that we felt totally at-ease. When we told her that we liked a little more direction, she gave it! She made us laugh and smile and feel completely in the moment. It was misting and we were wandering in SoDo (per her amazing suggestion) and we had so much fun and grabbed a beer after. When we got our engagement photos back I was speechless. I couldn't believe that someone we had just met was capable of capturing our essence so easily. It made me even more excited for our wedding day.
Wedding day - Sarah Postma is the friend you didn't know you needed at your wedding. She's calm, organized, sweet, great at dealing with crowds, and unbelievably patient. We worked with Sarah for several months before the wedding to plan everything and get our lists of photos together. She had an amazing spreadsheet to help us, questions that made us really think about what we wanted, and a real expertise that made us feel confident in any advice she gave. She honestly went above and beyond, answering questions even outside of the photography realm.
As the first photos of our wedding come trickling in, the excitement of our wedding day is reignited. Sarah is a master photographer and a glorious person. I wish I could give her a million stars.
Sarah is not only an incredible photographer, she is an amazing person. Every picture taken captures the action and beauty of the moment. The photos pop with superb lighting, excellent backdrops, and the subjects’ personalities. Sarah took our engagement and wedding photos. We were impressed during our first meeting with her by her portfolio and genuine kindness.
Our engagement shoot was fun. Sarah directed us and always kept an upbeat, positive attitude that really set the tone for the evening.
The day of the wedding, Sarah and her assistant Beckie came early to take “getting ready” photos of both parties. Then, we headed to a nearby park to take wedding party photos. Sarah and Beckie continued to keep the energy light and happy throughout the 2 hour shoot before the wedding.
The wedding ceremony, reception, family and dance photos are exceptional. Sarah and Beckie captured hundreds of memories, laughs, and moments of joy. They meshed well with the wedding party and felt more like guests than hired photographers.
I can’t stress enough how wonderful Sarah made the whole experience feel. My husband and I have looked through the library of photos dozens of times and still find hidden gems. Sarah truly has a passion for her work and was dedicated in her effort to preserve this important event.
Thank you, Sarah, for all you have done and we hope to run into you in Bellingham!
Sarah was a joy to work with! Not only were her photos gorgeous but she took extra time to provide her wedding insights and as a bride, I felt at ease knowing she was with us on our big day. She captured so many special moments and I continue to get compliments on our photos!! I would recommend her and her team to any friend of mine getting married, she exceeded what I expected from my wedding photographer!
Sarah is an exceptional photographer, so sweet, and so professional. I absolutely loved working with her for my wedding. She made the entire process so easy, and her work is absolutely fantastic. I am so happy I decided to go with her, and will recommend her to all my friends getting married.
Sarah is, in a word, amazing. I spent a lot of time researching and interviewing photographers, because my photos are so important to me, and I knew I had found the right one once I met Sarah. She was incredibly sweet, detail-oriented, professional and passionate about what she does (she even brought us chocolate and a copy of Martha Stewart Weddings for us!).
I love how her work captures those special, candid moments, and that she is also great at taking those formal portraits you have to have, but in a non-cheesy way. I work at a magazine and am constantly looking at photographers' work, and Sarah has that editorial, gorgeous quality to her work that I look for.
I live in New York and even though Sarah is based in Chicago, she was totally accessible via phone and email. She flew in just for us for our engagement session and spent three hours taking tons of photos in all of the locations we wanted, then hopped on a plane to return home. Unlike other photographers who charge by the hour, when you hire Sarah, you get her for the entire day of your wedding, which is such a boon. She also doesn't charge a travel fee for her New York clients (it's built right into the package, which is totally affordable to begin with). We were totally blown away by how accommodating she is and how much she truly cares about her subjects. She really gives every job her all.
Sarah's calming, easygoing personality not only makes her someone that you and your wedding party will want around on your wedding day, it also guarantees that she'll get along with your other vendors. I've heard horror stories about photographers and videographers jockeying for power at other weddings, and this was certainly not the case with Sarah.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Sarah as a wedding photographer—hiring her is a decision you won't regret and you'd really be foolish not to.
Working with Sarah was one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process. After an initial meeting to review her work and talk about our vision, my husband and I were smitten. Her work was breathtaking, she was extremely professional and we instantly connected. We honestly felt like Sarah was a close friend after spending a couple hours with her and couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with our wedding photos.
Sarah did an engagement shoot for us prior to the wedding and it was amazing. Our friends and family continue to talk about the quality of the photos and the emotions that Sarah was able to capture.
Sarah took the time to ask us what we wanted from our photos and what our goals were; she walked us through every step of her process and was instrumental in helping us organize our actual wedding day!
On our wedding day, Sarah and her staff were with us all day long. It truly felt like she was a member of the family; she connected so well with all of our family and friends and they adored her as much as we did.
When we got our photos back, I literally cried my eyes out because they were so beautiful. Sarah captured the emotion, joy and happiness of the entire day like no one else could have. Countless friends and family members have told us that our pictures were the best wedding photos they have ever seen (I have to agree!).
I consider it a blessing that we met Sarah and had the opportunity to work with her!
Sarah was one of my favorite parts of my wedding! From the moment my mom and I met her we knew she was the one to capture all the moments of our big day. He enthusiasm for her job was incredible! Prior to the wedding she spent about a good hour on the phone with me getting to know every detail that we had planned. She really got to know my husband and I so well before the wedding day that she was able to capture special moments that others wouldn't have seen. Both of our families fell in love with her and said what a job it was to work with someone so positive and so easy to work with. If you want the perfect photographer for your day Sarah is the one to do the job! We couldn't have been happier!
