Sarah Rachel Photography

ling to capture everything we wanted and more. I am blown away with the quality of our pictures and have received so many compliments on them. I have spent over 12 hours with both Sarah and her husband and they are not only the best team, photographers, but pretty amazing friends!!!! update: Sarah Rachel also shot our wedding and the pictures our phenomenal. Hiring people who understand your style and capture the true love between your husband and you I think is the most important thing when hiring a photographer to capture your day. That is exactly what Sarah Rachel does. She truly understands your vision and your relationship and does whatever she can to get the best shots and create the most beautiful pictures. My husband and I are so in love with every single photo. She truly exceeded our exceptions and I would highly recommend her if you want a photographer you can call a friend after your big day is over.

onal. At our first meeting, we spoke about what we wanted in our wedding pictures, and her bright personality and incredible creativity and talent were instantly evident. She provided us a wealth of guidance and direction before and during the wedding to help us get the most beautiful pictures. She, her second photographer, and her assistant were there from the very start of our day to capture the girls getting hair and make up, to the very last dance of the night. She gave us a timeline well in advance of the wedding which we formulated together to make everything run smoothly. She even had a dozen or more pictures for us and our guests to preview on an iPad before the evening was up! It was simply a joy to work with such a talented and professional photographer.

on. Of the 13 hours she and her assistant took pictures we only got 900 (my friends have ALL gotten 2500-3000 pics) bc of her culling and editing policy (in her contract to cover her butt so she doesn't have to give you every terrible picture she takes and to cover herself so she has an excuse when she misses important pictures from the day....She didn't get ring bearers walking down the aisle, she missed portrait shots that were specifically on our list, missed my maid of honor/best man entrance to reception.. her excuse: they were unflattering so she didn't want to give them to us. WHY IS THAT YOUR DECISION??? since when should a photographer cut pictures cause they don't think someone looks pretty enough! I don't even have a picture of myself and my grandmother during the reception! as a photographer she should've been capturing these things without me having to ask her to take every picture. Several of our guests made comments about how rude she was. Even our wedding coordinator said she had to say something because of Sarah's lack of respect for her assistant. When my mom tried to tell her to fluff the train of my dress and to fix other details of pictures Sarah rudely told her to leave...this left us with imperfections in almost every picture I cant even look at other people's wedding pictures that are posted anymore because I get upset at how much ours suck! I know this isn't a one off. She photographed my brothers wedding (our weddings were a month apart and we both hired her before she shot for either of us) and it was the same exact experience! If I had the space I could write about 20 more problems we had with her. Please save yourself the money and DRAMA and hire somebody else

ersation between my mother-in-law and our priest. She assumed the conversation was about her and became disgruntled and rude. This carried over to our bridal party shoot and our reception. Numerous guests of ours and even our wedding coordinator complained about her unprofessional and childish attitude. The photos themselves were unimpressive. She did not even get pictures of our maid of honor and best mans entrance. There are only a few photos of our own entrance and they are not clear and poor quality. She did not stage our photos well and was entirely disorganized. Dozens of our pictures have people cut off, hands/arms blocking peoples faces, or of guests making awkward faces. When asked about the missing photos Sarah said she was not contractually obliged to give us all of our photos. She said they were unflattering and she erased them. However, dozens of the photos she provided to us were of very poor quality. An amateur photographer would have done better. Her "assistants" are also not professional photographers. She drags her husband as her primary assistant and talks down to him constantly. It is very uncomfortable to be around. Save your time and your money. Sarah is extremely unprofessional and flat out rude. We will never get back the moments that she missed and the ones that she did a poor job of capturing. Once again STAY AWAY!
