Sarah Sage was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding. Her photography speaks for itself – our wedding photos were exactly what we had envisioned.
Sarah made t...
he entire process stress free and enjoyable. She flew out to Washington, D.C. for our engagement shoot, and without ever having seen some of our shot locations, she still found the best spots to photograph. Before the big day, she created an extensive timeline to ensure we captured everything we wanted. On wedding day itself, she was instrumental in keeping us on time the entire day.
Throughout the entire process, we felt like friends rather than just another client. We sincerely could not have been happier working with her. Highly highly recommend!
We cannot say enough great things about Sarah! From the start at our initial meeting, she was nothing but helpful and such a joy to work with - from engagement photos, wedding plan...
ning, rehearsal dinner and our wedding day. Not only is her work gorgeous, but she is there for all of your needs through the wedding process and really goes above and beyond. All of our guests cannot stop gushing over our photos! We are so thankful that we had Sarah for our big day and recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer ☺️ Sarah is the best!

rk with and we had a blast with her and her second shooter, Grace, throughout the whole process. Sarah was able to capture our day perfectly, from the big moments to the smallest of details.
With Sarah Sage Photography, you not only get an amazing photographer but someone who will help manage time and coordinate with your other vendors leading up to and throughout the day to ensure everything runs as smooth as possible. She was able to keep everyone on schedule, allowing us to relax and enjoy the moment.
The album reveal was another highlight. Sarah presented our photos in a way that told the story of our day beautifully. Her attention to layout and design made the reveal a memorable experience. Overall, we highly recommend Sarah Sage Photography to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and creative wedding photographer!
WE LOVE SARAH SAGE!!!
From our first meeting with Sarah, she showed us that she was there to help make our wedding day as special as possible. She was willing to walk with us thr...
ough wedding planning. She was available to answer any questions that we had and provide her expert advice.
The wedding day itself went so smoothly. Both her and her trusty second shooter Grace (aka G money) put us, our wedding party and families at ease. We definitely had a rowdy crew, but they leaned into the joy and chaos that was our wedding and made it so fun.
Looking at our photos, we are so happy with how well she captured us. We spent so much time planning our ceremony, picking our colors and flowers, choosing our decorations and baking sweet treats. We are at a lost for words for how beautifully our pictures turned out and how well you can feel the emotion in each one. We will cherish them forever.
Thank you Sarah and Grace. We love you both so much!!!
We would highly recommend Sarah Sage! She brought a ton of energy to both our (epic!) engagement session and to our wedding photos. She and Grace went above and beyond in coordinat...
ing with our other vendors and making sure we had thought through everything we would need to make our big day go smoothly. You can tell she's photographed a wedding or two.. she has everything down to a science at this point, and all the planning and prep resulted in the most beautiful photos!
Sarah Sage Photography was our engagement and wedding photographer. We can't recommend them enough! The bar was set when Sarah responded to our website inquiry with a personalized ...
video. This special touch was carried over to our first consultation appointment in the office, as well, where we were greeted with 'Congratulations Pete and Rachel!' on the display monitor. If you are looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile to make every moment special, Sarah Sage Photography is the one!
Sarah has a keen eye, gives good direction, makes you feel comfortable, and captures stunning detail. Her photos are natural and paint a picture of how you were feeling in that moment. Having Grace as a second skilled photographer made sure that no moment, no matter how small, was left uncaptured. They are a phenomenal team who truly care about making your special day memorable.
Sarah Sage Photography was extremely organized and assisted in planning the entire schedule of the wedding day. They were very responsive to emails and text messages throughout the span of our time together. We were able to see some sneak peaks in record timing as well! These ladies not only were highly professional, dedicated, and trustworthy, they also knew how to have fun!
The photos from both sessions blew us away. Their work is impeccable...Sarah Sage Photography is the FULL package. If you are considering working with Sarah and Grace, don't hesitate to contact them.
We will pick Sarah Sage Photography again! She is prompt, precise, and professional. She kept her word and over delivered herself to make sure things went smoothly on the wedding d...
ay. She becomes part of the family. She is the best when it comes to candid photography! She is not only the lady with the camera, but she also becomes the manager, the candy/chocolate lady, the one who pins the boutonnières, the one helps you breath and says “calm down, we got this under control” or “it's your day, don't forget to enjoy”.
Sarah, and Grace, thank you so much for making our day manageable, memorable, fun, and easy. Thank you!

Sarah Sage was incredible to work with! From the start, she was extremely helpful, meeting with us to discuss our vision or suggesting a vendor. She helped articulate our vision a...
nd put together a day-of timeline. We also had an engagement shoot that allowed us to work together and it made us even more excited for the big day!
I couldn't have made it through our wedding day without her. She was more than just a photographer, helping me put on my dress and my veil. And when there were a few timing hiccups, she kept us moving along and always had a plan. We had shared we wanted to make it to cocktail hour, and she worked with us to be fast and efficient but still capturing beautiful shots. Truly so thankful for her. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Sarah!
And when we received our gallery, I couldn't stop obsessing over the beautiful memories that Sarah captured so perfectly. I can't say enough about the incredible work Sarah did. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
We can’t rave enough about SSP! Not only are our engagement and wedding photos gorgeous, but Sarah played an integral part in ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly. She made us fee...
l so comfortable from our first meeting and helped us along in the planning process. She thought of details we never even considered and worked seamlessly with our venue and other vendors. We are so happy with the whole experience. Thank you Sarah & Grace!
Besides saying “yes!”, booking Sarah was the easiest and BEST decision we made for our wedding! Before even meeting her, we were astounded by the beauty of her photos and even more...
importantly how REAL the couples looked. When we met Sarah over zoom, we knew it would be a great fit – she had us relaxed and giggling the entire time. She then sent us the cutest welcome packet filled with incredible timelines, sheets of things to think about (like what details to set aside the morning of, what family photos you might like), vendors that she has personally worked with, and to top that off she even sent a dog toy for our little guy, AJ!! Sarah went above and beyond with communication – something that was so critical since we were in Philadelphia during the entire planning process. Sarah was so flexible with us as we flew into South Bend for ONE day for our engagement session. Our engagement session was non-stop fun—even my husband was completely engaged and cracking jokes the entire session with Sarah and Grace. Sarah is incredibly creative and found the most scenic spots on the beach that was unusually crowded for a late September weekend. She was even willing to get in the water to capture “Vogue front-cover” caliber photos. And on our wedding day, Sarah proved to be our life saver time and time again. She typed up a timeline that fit onto the screens of our phones to keep us on track, exhibited leadership with organizing our rather large families for family photos, and saved the day by creating a new bustle for my dress after mine broke right before our first dance. And that was all in addition to capturing the most incredible, jaw-dropping photos. She even DOVE on the ground of the ballroom to get a shot of our dip during our first dance (and yes, I have video evidence of this determination and passion!)
Your photographer is one of the most important decisions to make during the planning process—and I can guarantee you will not regret hiring Sarah! Sarah knows all the ins and outs of a Notre Dame wedding—she and Grace truly made our day stress free and so, so fun! Sarah is 100% the person you want by your side on your wedding day! We are so incredibly grateful for how she has captured our love story, and we are so looking forward to working with Sarah again for anniversary and family photos in the future!!
Sarah Sage immediately stood out from all the other photographers we spoke to. Her first contact with us she shared a quick video of introducing herself and I love the she took th...
e time to go above and beyond. Sarah Sage is professional, organized, and detail oriented. We appreciated how much knowledge she has of the ceremony and of ND/SMC campuses and we felt comfortable following her artistic eye. What drew us also to Sarah was her capturing the real moments and giggles. The photos captured the natural beauty that day. We were thrilled with the timeliness of the sneak peeks. We loved the album reveal celebration she put together. The attention she puts into those little moments or how she goes above and beyond for her couples is unlike any other photographer is what makes me excited to work with her again! Thank you so much Sarah Sage Photography for capturing our day!
Booking Sarah for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made. From our initial Zoom meeting, we knew it was going to be a great fit – she even added in cat toys in our we...
lcome packet! My husband and I work crazy schedules and Sarah was so patient and willing to work with us and even make the trip down to Indianapolis for our engagement session. My husband was hesitant about the whole photo process, but he loved Sarah from our first meeting and she and Grace put us at ease and made the engagement session so fun! Sarah is definitely the person you want for your wedding. She knows the ins and outs of a Notre Dame wedding and was able to design the best timeline to fit in all of the pictures we knew we wanted for the day. More importantly, Sarah was a seamstress in another life and was able to sew me back into my dress and essentially sew a new bustle after an unfortunate football mishap. The only people you see more on your wedding day than your partner are your photographers, so this is one of the most important decisions you have to make. You will not regret hiring Sarah as your wedding photographer, she is that person you want by your side! We are lucky to come out of this with not only the most beautiful pictures, but beautiful friends as well. Our engagement and wedding photos captured our love story perfectly and we are so excited to have these to look at forever.
Sarah is the lady with the plan! Exceedingly experience but with so much grace when explaining details, timelines, sorting out issues and making sure our day is as special and uniq...
ue as can be. She makes it easy to navigate and helped so much on our day she could get into wedding coordination! And the products! To die for! The best quality and service. Zero issues. She has excellent communication and is always available/ easy to get ahold of. She has a friendly personality and is seriously just the best.
We worked with Sarah for our 3/11/23 wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier that we chose her. From the very first time we met with Sarah in person (even before we committed to...
working with her), she greeted us with a hug and made us feel like family. She made an effort to get to know us both individually and as a couple in a way that other photographers did not, and we instantly knew she was the right fit.
In the months leading up to our wedding, we met with Sarah to help her get a better idea of what we wanted to get out of our wedding day. She was invaluable in helping us create the timeline for our entire day, which eased a lot of our stress. She was very responsive to all emails and texts in the crucial final weeks leading up to the wedding.
On the wedding day, we were blown away by just how incredible Sarah was. She truly felt like an older sister the entire day, as she arrived to the bridal suite earlier in the morning than she had initially planned, offering to help out in any way possible, beyond just photography services. As the wedding day progressed, she was very fun yet professional to work with, making us feel very comfortable and confident. Since it was a pretty chilly March day, the bridesmaids were reluctant to take many pictures outside, but Sarah ran a very tight ship, keeping everyone on schedule, and still getting tons of incredible pictures in a short amount of time.
Sarah truly went above and beyond throughout the day and evening to capture priceless pictures. When it finally came time to see the images, we were absolutely blown away by how beautiful they were, and how perfectly we felt they captured our wedding day and marriage. Her talent shone through in the pictures by naturally posing us in a way that created incredible artistic effects.
Overall, we couldn’t recommend Sarah more highly. Not only is she an incredibly gifted photographer, but she is such a fun, compassionate, and hard-working person. We couldn’t be more grateful for how hard Sarah worked to capture our day so beautifully, and we are so excited to cherish these memories of our wedding day for the rest of our lives!
Working with Sarah was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly organized and coordinated with our wedding planner, which made everything a breeze on the day of the wedding. Sarah’...
s planned schedule came with enough time built in to absorb an hour long delay with hair and makeup on the day of the wedding, which was a major relief to the entire bridal party. Sarah was very flexible and accommodating with meetings, which was amazing for us, since we were planning a wedding from 2 hours away. My wife and I were both a little nervous when we started our engagement shoot, thankfully Sarah is hilarious which made the awkward process of posing for photos a lot of fun. The same humor and lightheartedness carried over to our wedding photos. My wife and I love both our engagement and wedding photos, Sarah is an incredibly skilled and talented photographer. My wife and I both highly recommend Sarah Sage Photography.
YES, YES, YES! Where do I even begin? Sarah and her team went absolutely above and beyond in every aspect of our wedding journey. There aren't enough words to explain how prompt, o...
rganized, empathetic, and flexible she is. Wedding planning can be a LOT, especially for someone who's not experienced it before. Sarah knew all the right questions to ask and how to style our photos in our favorite vintage aesthetic. Not only did she capture the memories of our big day, but she helped move our daily schedule along seamlessly. Sarah carries herself with such joy that she's easy to get along with! She made posing for pictures easy and the turnout was absolutely amazing. Choosing Sarah Sage Photography was the BEST decision my husband and I made. Not only will we use her services moving forward for our big chapters in life, but we also gained an incredible friend.
Sarah and her associate photographer Grace acted as an extension of me with every decision made. I knew throughout our entire wedding journey that I had helping hands ready to support me and enjoy every step of the way. Their professionalism and passion is impeccable. Do yourself a favor and hire Sarah Sage Photography; you won't be disappointed. :)
While searching for a photographer, Sarah’s work stood out amongst the rest. Her bright and natural style was exactly what we wanted and after meeting Sarah, there were no doubts t...
hat we had found our wedding photographer.
Sarah was prompt, well organized, and professional while still making each of our sessions very personal. She was extremely flexible and was able to accommodate our busy schedules. Sarah offered a variety of wedding packages with options to personalize them to meet our needs. She has both excellent wedding expertise and a creative eye. For both our engagement and wedding pictures, we received fantastic preview photos within the first three days.
The pictures Sarah and Grace captured at our wedding were phenomenal. We absolutely love our photos, and it has been impossible to pick our favorites! Sarah and Grace were fantastic to work with; they were so professional and yet so fun during both our engagement and wedding shoots. Not only did they catch all the special moments, they captured our joy and silliness that perfectly reflected the feeling of our wedding day!
We cannot wait to have Sarah capture more special moments in our future! If you need a photographer, you want Sarah Sage.
Sarah was the best! We love our pictures and she was so great dealing with our crazy, big bridal party!
Sarah Sage was not only the best photographer we could have imagined working with, but the best wedding vendor team we worked with by far! From our engagement photoshoot in Chicago...
to our Notre Dame wedding, Sarah and team went above and beyond to ensure we had the most amazing photos and the best experience. Sarah was extremely helpful in timeline planning and in making sure our wedding weekend went perfectly, from fixing my veil and bustle to anything in between (she could be a wedding planner in another life!). We were so grateful for the time she put into building a relationship with us as her clients, and felt so comfortable and had a blast working with her. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the area!
Sarah Sage will do whatever it takes to make sure you have the best wedding day possible! I say wedding day, but really Sarah makes her couples feel like superstars from the moment...
you book with her. From the start she gave us the star treatment. Sarah was also incredibly helpful in the planning process with reliable vendor references. She is so organized and professional but also very down to earth to make you feel comfortable when shooting. Sarah took our photo requests into account and made sure to get every single one! (and we had quite a few!)
Of course, there is no such thing as perfection and mishaps can happen along the way, but if any issue arose, Sarah was so quick to resolve!! She quite literally bent over backward, sprinted a mile, and soaked in cold water in order to resolve issues and/or get the perfect shots! We had rain in the forecast for our wedding day and I had zero concerns about it because I knew Sarah would have it handled with cute umbrellas and knowing how to still get the best photos.
After our July wedding, Sarah continues to be great to work with. She is so communicative and quick when delivering the previews and album. And again, if there were any issues, Sarah was quick to resolve! Jonathan and I are so happy with our album! Every photo is gorgeous!! A high quantity of photos with the highest of quality! We will absolutely work with her again in the future!
Me and my (now) husband hired Sarah Sage to photograph our engagement session and our April 2022 wedding and we were beyond happy with our experience with her! Not only is she extr...
emely professional, punctual, and exceptionally gifted in her talent, but she also has a way of making you comfortable in front of the camera immediately. She has an outgoing personality and is able to make you feel confident and beautiful, no matter if you are an extroverted or introverted individual. Additionally, Sarah makes a point to get to know you and your partner as individuals before your big day so that she learns what means the most to you so that she can capture those moments that will last forever (for example: she made sure to capture my grandmother placing my family’s heirloom necklace on me when I was in my wedding dress as well as many other valuable moments she captured because she learned through conversation how much these would mean to us). Her second photographer, Grace, also exhibited these same qualities and produced amazing work for us as well! Truly, I cannot recommend working with Sarah enough. Not only will you get amazing photos that will allow to re-live your big day each time you look at them, but you will also extremely enjoy each minute you work with Sarah and her team. I would 100% recommend anyone hire Sarah to photograph any big day of theirs!
Thank you, Sarah, for being so amazing at what you do!
Sarah and her team were phenomenal to work with for our wedding. After we booked our venue Sarah Sage Photography was our very next vendor we booked and from the start we loved Sar...
ah and the team. This team has a wealth of knowledge about this industry and we were so grateful to have their guidance as we planned our wedding. They are so detailed orientated when it comes to their photography and even in the planning process and were mentioning things that we haven’t even thought of that we wanted to have captured. Our Engagement and Wedding photos are beautiful and we are so grateful they were able to capture such beautiful days. We highly recommend using Sarah Sage Photography not just for weddings but for any photography needs you have as well. We can’t wait until we can do a session with her in the future.
Sarah is phenomenal! She blew us away from the beginning with her personalized touches and incredible attention to detail. Photo shoots with Sarah are the most fun we’ve ever had t...
aking pictures, her artistic visions and directions helped us feel comfortable and stress free. The images we received were spectacular and we’ve received numerous compliments on them- from the engagement shoot to the wedding day.
Aside from the sensational photographer that Sarah is, her knowledge of the wedding landscape from venues and vendors to event timelines is incredibly helpful. We were provided numerous tools to assist us in our wedding planning process and Sarah was always there to answer any questions we had, including but not limited to questions on coordinating our outfits for the engagement shoot. Grace, Sarah’s assistant photographer, was so personable and fun to have with us as well on our wedding day. Our bridal party had a blast during pictures and loved them both.
We are so grateful for all the help she gave us through the wedding planning process. We are so excited to work with Sarah for any future photography needs.
Sarah was absolutely amazing! The second we met with her, we knew she’d be a lifelong friend/ part of our family. Her studio blew us away with all the experience she caputered alon...
g with her and artistic skillset. We were fortunate to spend quality time with Sarah and her husband during an off site engagement shoot. A mix between her fun personality and professionalism is displayed every time we talk to her, so much so that we left wanting more! During our wedding day, we never had to worry about missing any special moments solely because we had Sarah in our corner. In addition to Sarah being overly organized, we received many compliments throughout the day from guests about how awesome Sarah operated. We couldn’t imagine our day without her, and look forward to exclusively using her in the future. Sarah, we love you and thank you for everything you’ve done for us! Can’t wait for our next photo shoot 🥰
Sarah Sage was absolutely amazing!! She really went above and beyond to make our day run as smoothly as possible. Jamie and I loved working with Sarah and wish we could relive the ...
day over and over.
Sarah’s energy and enthusiasm was outstanding. She sprinted around for hours (literally) making sure she captured every moment. She made sure we always had what we needed and were running on time as scheduled, but always left room for flexibility if we felt there was something else we wanted. Her and her assistant, Grace, really did an amazing job and even helped me re-bustle my dress! Jamie and I are slightly camera shy in general, but Sarah made us feel comfortable at every moment of the day, and many times I didn’t even know she was capturing an image (love all the candid ones!!).
The whole wedding party and attendees raved about Sarah as well. The blend of energy, humor, and comfort was perfect. I honestly can’t imagine our wedding day without her. From the day we first talked with her shortly after we got engaged, to our actual wedding day she was super helpful and responsive. We were very lucky to be blessed with such an amazing photographer for our special day. Thank you for everything Sarah!! I would 110% recommend to all.
Where do I begin?! Sarah is just truly amazing as a person and photographer, there aren't enough words to say how grateful we are for Sarah and Micky. For our engagement shoot, we ...
hit multiple spots that were special to us and then to St, Joseph, Michigan for a romantic beach sunset. It was relaxing, beautiful, and most of all FUN! The pictures are like no other and she really captured my husband and I in a way I didn’t know was possible. Sarah and Micky traveled all the way from Indiana where we are from, to Snowshoe, WV for our very intimate wedding. The day was SEAMLESS! With Sarah’s helpful planning, she helped build the timeline from start to finish. Her hard work and fun personality make you forget about any stresses you have about the special day or insecurities you have about yourself. You feel confident in your body and really live in that moment with your partner. I can’t say enough about how awesome Sarah is, and how flexible she can be. Sarah helped customize our package to fit our needs and budget for our destination wedding and ensured we got what we were looking for. Thank you so much Sarah and Mickey for your hard work, dedication and awesomeness!
Sarah Sage knocked it out of the park as our wedding photographer. From the beginning of the wedding planning process, Sarah was engaged and answered all of our questions. Sarah di...
stinguishes herself from other photographers by her professionalism, tentativeness to detail, and passion. Our first experience working with Sarah was during our engagement shoot. Sarah calmed our nerves, and captured the afternoon perfectly. A few months before the wedding, Sarah was in contact with us regarding timeline and our vision for our wedding day. During the final weeks of planning we relied on Sarah to hold us accountable to our timeline – and she did! We greatly appreciated how organized Sarah was leading up to our wedding, and on the day itself. Sarah and her second shooter, Grace, went above and beyond on the wedding day. They helped transport flowers, and were cognizant of the heat. We cannot thank Sarah enough for playing such a large role in our wedding.
Sarah wasn’t our original photographer, but when we had to change our wedding date date our original photographer couldn’t do our new date, she immediately recommended Sarah and we...
couldn’t have been happier. She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and easy to work with. She made sure that we were clear on her process, but also wanted to make sure that we had the day that we had envisioned. She helped us come up with a schedule for the helped direct traffic for us day of, and most importantly, he pictures that she took were amazing. They captured our joy and the joy of our guests on our wedding day and they they were above and beyond our expectations. She was also very quick with getting us some preview shots as well as our entire digital album complete with a blogpost of the day to share with our friends and family. We would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a photographer in the Michiana area.
I cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with Sarah! From our engagement photo shoot through our wedding day, Sarah was extremely professional every step of the way. ...
She took the time to get to know my husband and I personally and to learn what we cared most about in our wedding photos, and the end result captured our perfect day so beautifully. We highly recommend Sarah Sage for any of your photography needs!
Sarah is in my opinion the best you can find. She is professional and a joy to be around. Our wedding was cancelled several times due to covid and Sarah was a constant with us and ...
was right there by our side through everything. Sarah was our one and only choice and my wife and I cannot wait to spend more time with her. She is no longer just a photographer to us but a friend that made every picture personal, loving, and simple. When I say Sarah is the best I truly mean you will not find anyone better then her. Thank you Sarah for working with us and making our 2 days phenomenal. You have our business for life and our highest recommendation to everyone in the future.
Sarah did amazing job photographing our wedding. Her skill and experience really show in the way she was able to perfectly capture flattering candid photos during special moments. ...
When we were looking back through our pictures (which we got within two! weeks of the wedding) we felt transported right back to the moment that image was taken.
In addition, Sarah was incredibly supportive and understanding when we had to reschedule our wedding twice and change venues. She also helped us schedule out the day (and then kept us all on that schedule) and offered advice and suggestions during the rehearsal. Having her on our team was a great decision and I don’t think the day would have gone nearly as well without her. Thank you, Sarah!
Sarah was such a lifesaver! She took amazing photos for us in freezing snow and sweltering heat without complaint, in fact she was extremely joyful. She made us feel comfortable an...
d was a great source of calm on the day of the wedding. I felt extremely out of my element on the wedding weekend, but I knew I could trust her to take charge while also listening carefully to all of our wants/preferences.
Where to even begin? We could not be any happier that Sarah was a part of our big day and everything before (and everything after)! From the first time we spoke to Sarah, we knew i...
mmediately she was the gal for us. Sarah is always so professional, but also always fun! It's always a joy to be around her and it's hard to not want to smile the whole time, even if our cheeks hurt from smiling so much for pictures! She got ALL of our pictures back to us in ONE week...which is truly amazing! Even with the fast turn around, you can truly see the effort she put into editing every single image on both our engagement shoot and wedding day. The blog post she writes on all experiences really adds an extra sense of personal touch and shows that she makes the effort to get to know us while shooting. We are so happy that Sarah was with us on our wedding day! We could go on and on about how amazing, nice, professional, Sarah and her photography skills are....but you get the point...she is beyond amazing at what she does and is so passionate about her work!!
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with! We knew from our first meeting with her that she was going to be fantastic and she did not disappoint. With all the changes we made with o...
ur wedding she helped and offered guidance and support every step of the way and answered every question we had. The day of our much smaller intimate wedding Sarah was there capturing every detail like it was the big event we had planned. She was able to get all of our families together for pictures which isn’t an easy task and everyone loved her energy and the joy she has for taking pictures. When we got the pictures back I was blown away!!! Sarah was able to take our day and transport them into the most beautiful photos ever. I didn’t hate a single one of them and that is hard since I always hate my pictures! If you want a photographer who will not only take the best pictures but lend a helping hand and be your friend along the way then Sarah is the one to choose. I’m so excited to call her my friend for life and I can’t wait to see all the photos she will take in the future for us!
Where do we even start? Sarah was so amazing from the beginning to the end of our wedding journey! She is so knowledgeable and helpful and full of joy, and definitely a calming and...
experienced presence - exactly the kind of person we needed to help feel comfortable and confident with how our day will be captured. Sarah went above and beyond expectations in every way - we are so happy with our breathtaking pictures and all of the special, small moments that were caught. We would recommend her to anyone we know.
Sarah did an amazing job! She made sure that we were happy and the day was all about us. All of the photos she took turned out beautiful. She exceeded our expectations. I would rec...
ommend her to anyone.
Sarah is amazing! Not only are her pictures fantastic, but she's incredibly fun and energetic to work with. We had a HUGE bridal party, and she was able to keep everyone in-line & ...
be flexible when necessary. Because Sarah took the time to understand what my husband and I wanted, we were in lockstep every part of the day, and she was able to help carry out our wishes even with all of the craziness of the day. We were able to get our pictures so quickly after the wedding, and I loved all 900+ of them. She is the BEST!
Also - highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with her pre-wedding. It made us so comfortable around her for our big day.
It cannot be underestimated how important and valuable a good photographer is to your wedding day. Sarah Sage isn't just good, she is remarkable, a true professional. Her experienc...
e in the field, attention to detail, and joyous personality made working with her one of the easiest and most calming parts of planning our wedding. She helped us navigate and plan an innumerable amount of details. Her photography work is truly top notch, all our pictures came out stunning. Sarah misses nothing, and thinks of and plans for things you did not know existed, it was truly a pleasure working with her, and we have already committed to hiring her in the future for family portraits.
I can not say enough about how dynamic my wedding photos are from Sarah Sage. My favorite part of the photos are the details. I am a detail person and she made sure she focused on...
that for me. Sarah is fun to work with and makes you feel relaxed when she is photographing you. I highly recommend Sarah Sage Photography!
Choosing Sarah Sage as our wedding photographer was THE best decision my husband (Luke) and I made for our wedding. We loved her SO much that we each decided to write our own revie...
w 😊.
Not only is she a very talented photographer, but she also truly cares about each and every one of her couples, which makes her different from any other vendor you will have on your wedding day. We can truly say she is a friend after working with her for our engagement and now wedding.
She was super accommodating and compassionate when it came to re-arranging our wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we had to postpone until next year for our big reception, she was willing to drive to Wisconsin for the day to cover our ceremony and some of our “mini-reception” of our wedding day this year. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, not only arriving early to make sure everything was in order, but also even staying later to make sure that we had the most amazing photos. Sarah also gets your wedding photos back to you in record time—we had sneak previews the next day and she had our whole album completed in a few weeks (faster than any of my other friends which took months). The quality of her photos has far exceeded our expectations as well.
If you’re looking for a photographer (and friend) that will make your wedding day and the days leading up to your wedding a breeze, then think no more, hire Sarah. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! Thanks Sarah for your passion of photography and the amazing memories that you have provided us with your photos!
- She is excellent at what she does – her style is classic and it is clean. Between our proposal, engagement, and wedding events, she shot in almost every light situation imaginabl...
e, and somehow made every photo look amazing. Some of our family and friends took photos with their phones and the difference between Sarah’s work and even what the newest smartphone can VERY noticeable.
- She loves what she does and it’s contagious – if you have ever done “creative” (or posed) photos at all, they can definitely feel awkward. I’ll be honest and say, while my wife was elated at the prospect of creatives, I was a bit hesitant about the whole concept. However, Sarah did a fantastic job walking Laura and I (and everyone else involved) through what we needed to not just feel comfortable but enjoy it too. When it was all said and done, I may have even had more fun than my wife 😊.
- She is worth every penny you pay her – while I was looking to cut costs any way possible, thankfully, my wife knew best to not skimp on the photographer for the wedding. We realized after that the photos that are captured on your wedding day are one of the most important things.
- Her pictures tell a story, your story – we are not just saying that, she will literally write one for you (check out her website as she posts wedding stories for all of her couples stories there). This was one of the many ways Sarah differentiates herself from other photographers. The story/blog served as a great way to relive the day ourselves or easily share with others who were not able to experience it.
- She is extremely organized – for any vendor you work with, this is actually really important. There is enough to worry about on your wedding day, having to also worry about keeping your vendors on task shouldn’t be one of those stressors! We never doubted for one moment that Sarah wouldn’t do what she said would get done because she had the technology, tools, and processes in place to make sure she (and we) stayed organized and on track.
- She goes above and beyond – there were several times where, due to unforeseen circumstances (which will ALWAYS happen), things didn’t go according to plan. Sarah was always able to adjust on the fly to make sure the right pictures were still captured. In some cases, when Laura and I were not there to make calls on things, she actually took the initiative (and we trusted her) to make sure things flowed smoothly, even though doing those things were not included in her “contract.”
Sarah is absolutely incredible! She accommodated our schedule when we only had one possible weekend for an engagement photo shoot and she gave us 110% the entire weekend of our wed...
ding. She managed to take beautiful photos without being obtrusive, all the while being both professional and joyful. We would highly recommend Sarah Sage Photography!
Sarah is THE.BEST! She is so personable and easy to work with. I feel stiff when a camera is around and during our engagement pics she made me forget she was ever there and helped ...
me just feel natural. When I was worried about time on my wedding day or little details, she jumped in to help however she could. She also helped us out in a huge way by letting us use her phone and Facebook page to live stream our wedding during the pandemic. Who else would offer to do that?! I can’t say enough good things or recommend her enough. She is worth every cent!
Sarah Sage went above and beyond to make our wedding the day the absolute best. There are so many qualities that made her stand out out of all of our vendors. She pretty much funct...
ioned as our event planner for the day as she helped us out with the timeline to make sure our day went as planned. She is very professional, kind, helpful, organized, personable, and passionate about what she does. All of our pictures turned out beautifully, she captured every moment we wanted. She even explained to us how to "cut the cake" right on the spot. She is not just a great photographer, she is also our friend.
Sarah Sage far, far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I could not be happier with her service
She is kind, she is calming, she holds herself to the highest of standards, and ...
most importantly, she delivers.
My wife and I had an Indian wedding that spanned the course 3 days with roughly 420 guests. Sarah was on the ball every step of the way, shooting beautiful photographs and capturing memories that we will forever cherish. We feel very fortunate to have gotten to work with her and she has become a close friend. I cannot recommend her enough. She is excellent.
Sarah Sage is a joy to work with! I am a wedding planner and have watched her work with my Clients with a kind heart and creative spirit. Her work in capturing your Day is so impre...
ssive and will last a lifetime. Photography is so important and having someone who is professional, caring and who is easy to work with is so important. And most importantly, her work is beautiful. I highly recommend Sarah Sage Photography!
