eel like I am reliving every moment. I genuinely could not be happier with the end result. Not only is her work amazing, but Sarah herself is also amazing - kind, down to earth, makes you feel comfortable, and so easy to communicate with. She promptly sent us some sneak peeks and shortly thereafter the whole gallery. If you've come across Sarah in your search for a photographer I highly recommend that you look no further. Thank you Sarah!

Absolutely recommend!! Sarah did our engagement photos as well as our wedding ceremony and reception. Sarah's shots are beautiful, and I was beyond pleasantly surprised to receive ...
the previews and full library so quickly after the sessions. For the wedding day we added a second photographer. Sarah brought Caitlyn Kelly with her and we felt like we won the jackpot. These two are amazing individually and to have them both with us was a true blessing.
Our day wouldn't have been captured as magically without them. I hope to work with Sarah again in the future!!
Sarah was the perfect photographer for our wedding. We are one of the most awkward couples in front of a camera and she made us both feel so comfortable. The photos are amazing. 10...

Sarah is a wonderful photographer to work with! We used her for both our engagement photo shoot and on our wedding day. She is able to capture natural moments and her photos have a...
very romantic feel. We even asked her to go skiing with us for our engagement photo shoot and she was happy to accommodate. They are some of our favorite photos! We will definitely use her again for any other future family photos.
Sarah photographed our June 2022 wedding and from the moment we first met her, I knew she was the photographer for us. Sarah's professional yet open demeanor helped calm any nerves...
I felt about being photographed. Wedding photos were so important to my husband and I; they are the physical memories of the event and I wanted to look back at them and feel they captured all the joy of the day. With Sarah that's exactly what we got. She was wonderful and professional to coordinate with. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I'm already thinking of excuses to try and do another photoshoot with her (5 year anniversary maybe?).
Sarah was the best!! Prior to meeting, I warned her that my wife was especially nervous to pose in front of a camera/someone she has never met before, but Sarah handled it perfectl...
y. She put all of our anxiety at ease right away. We first met her for our engagement shoot and her top priority was our comfort at all times. She was so easy to be around and gave us prompts so the photos came out very naturally and didn't feel staged or corny at all. She was the ideal third wheel on our wedding day - she went off whatever we wanted at all times and was so fun to be around. The photos came out beautifully and we are so lucky to have them forever. She is 100% our family photographer for life now. Highly recommend hiring her - you will not be disappointed.
Sarah was the photographer at my daughter's wedding in Vermont two weeks ago. She was so easy to work with from the minute she arrived on site. Her work is creative and captured so...

sy to work with. She also brought Allison Macy as a second shooter, who was likewise fantastic. I can't recommend Sarah enough!
I can not say enough positive things about Sarah Salvas. We hired her in 2019 for our July 2020 wedding, and throughout many postponements and COVID struggles, she was flexible, p...
rofessional and always so kind. We got to do our engagement shoot and finally had our wedding July of 2021 and couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Sarah managed to make us feel so comfortable, she seamlessly slid into the background of the day, and took the most drop-dead-gorgeous photos. We even had some crazy weather for the wedding day, and she managed to take the most breathtaking pics!! We loved her so much we even invited her to our BBQ the following day :). If you have the chance to work with Sarah, don't miss a beat. You won't regret it!!
Of all the decisions my now-husband and I had to make while planning and replanning our wedding, booking Sarah as our photographer was the best one that we made. We booked Sarah in...
February of 2020, right before the pandemic hit. Through the process of rescheduling both our engagement and wedding shoots, she was understanding and supportive. Apart from that experience, she's very professional. She's communicative and quick to respond, even with small questions or concerns, and as someone that was nervous to be photographed, I had many! Sarah's work and the images that she creates are stunning. She has an eye for not only making sure that the people in her photos look great, but, (and this was incredibly important to my husband and me), she's also able to capture the beauty of the environment that she's in. There have been so many times that I've seen something in real life and then seen a photo of it and thought to myself that the picture doesn't do the scene justice: I've never thought that when looking at Sarah's work. Her work for our engagement photos brought out the beautiful colors of Stowe foliage, and her photos for our wedding helped to illuminate the impossible green that shrouds Manchester in August. While her talent is exceptional, what sets Sarah apart from other talented photographers is her personality. She is thoughtful, attentive, kind, and authentic - by the time the wedding weekend was over, I truly felt like she was a friend. She took the time to get to know our personalities and was able to capture them in her photographs. I can sincerely say that we will treasure the photos that she took, and we look forward to sharing them with our friends and family for years to come. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in the Vermont area and beyond for her photography services; I'm sure you'll love her as much as we do!
Sarah is simply a wonderful human who is very skilled at what she does! She did our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be more pleased with how they turned out. She is ...
so easy to communicate with and so much fun to work with. We had never taken professional photos before and she made it feel so much more comfortable than we expected (hi, we’re awkward in front of the camera). She is sweet, easy going, and fun in addition to being organized and detail oriented. She did an incredible job of keeping things on schedule wedding day without it ever feeling as though we were rushing. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day and I could not imagine having anyone else there! Sarah is lovely and I really can not recommend her highly enough :)
Sarah is the absolute best!
Working with Sarah was wonderful! We knew we had to hire Sarah because her best work is of beautiful couples in even more beautiful locations! Sarah ...
finds a way to highlight the people she's photographing but also bringing nature and the surroundings to light!
Sarah's personality and entire energy really matched with ours! We were a bit nervous at the beginning of our engagement shoot but she really helped guide us to get amazing photos! We've received just a few photos so far and we are already obsessed! I can't wait to get the rest of our photos! Sarah really preserved the most special times in our lives and we can't thank her enough!!

even offered to help us find a new photographer.
Sarah was wonderful to work with! We hired her to capture our (covid) adventure elopement. Family and friends, along with ourselves, were blown away by the shots that she captured....
She helped tell the story of our day through pictures, when family and friends couldn't be there to celebrate with us.

e taken but Sarah made the process completely painless and stress-free for him.
In the past I have been to weddings where the photographer oftentimes blocks the view of the ceremony or takes the attention off of the bride and groom, but all of our wedding guests commented on how unobtrusive and helpful Sarah was. Sarah was able to handle our laidback, somewhat unorganized day with grace! She captured the vibe we were going for and I love that the pictures capture the natural beauty of the day.
Sarah was incredibly flexible, patient, and friendly throughout the entire process. She was helpful and even let us use her Jeep to drive to the top of the mountain at sunset to capture some incredible shots! She was amazing every step of the way and I can’t thank Sarah enough for helping to make our day so special! We will treasure these photos forever.

ted and fun, which allowed us to open up and feel relaxed throughout what could have been a stressful day. We didn't get the best weather for our outdoor event, but she was willing and excited to push through the rain to get photos in multiple locations. I highly recommend her for any event!
