Having Sarah capture our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the moment we met her until her very last snap, Sarah was the a...
bsolute BEST! During our engagement session, we were so incredibly nervous and worried we’d look awkward in our photos, but Sarah instantly made us comfortable and relaxed. She made us laugh and run and jump and dance and somehow made us look way more attractive than we actually are, haha! On our wedding day, she definitely was our star vendor - our bridal party, guests, family were just blown away by how AMAZING Sarah was. She was professional and positive and her energy kept everyone smiling and relaxed. Sarah was able to capture the most memorable moments of our night and the parts we didn't get to witness - and for that we will be forever grateful. Her sweet, adventurous and vibrant personality shines bright and is in evident in all her amazing work - all of which is absolutely STUNNING and definitely speaks for itself. We love love love Sarah and recommend her without any reservation to any Mr. and Mrs. to be!
If I could give Sarah 1,000 stars, I would. This girl is not only extremely gifted in taking photos, but she captures the personalities of who she is photographing and the special ...
moments during the sessions with her. My fiancé and I were so nervous going into our engagement shoot with Sarah since we aren’t models and just hoped we didn’t look awkward in them LOL, but Sarah brought a speaker, had us play our favorite romantic music and we had the most fun time!! She is the most down to earth, sweetest girl I’ve ever met. She has become a friend we feel so lucky to have met and I will definitely be using her for all huge, exciting milestones in mine and my fiancé’s future! If you are looking for a photographer to capture the love shared with you and your significant other and see photos of you two being exactly who you are - Sarah is your girl. I could not have asked for a better “vendor” aka friend to be taking our wedding photos next week! ❤️
We shopped around a lot for our photographer, because a picture is definitely worth a thousand words and we wanted someone who would capture the moments and have a particular style...
we were looking for. Sarah is a true gem. We met up and it was an instant vibe between us. Andy and I love adventures and Sarah's positive, carefree attitude was perfect for us. Our engagement shoot with her was our first photo shoot (which I'm sure it will be for most couples), she made us feel so comfortable! She was so ready to climb over any tree or rock to get the perfect shot. Our wedding day wasn't too long ago and she provided us with a preview, and as I mentioned before, a picture is worth a thousand words. As I scrolled through the photos, I truly felt like I was at the wedding reliving the entire day again. Thanks so much Sarah for your amazing work and putting up with our huge bridal parties and families :) Everyone loved you! If you're reading this, don't hesitate, you won't go wrong with Sarah.
If your looking for an amazing photogpher than search no more you found her! Sarah took such beautiful wedding photos of our daughter Emily and son-in-law Brett. The wedding was so...
beautiful and Sarah played a big part of it. Sarah’s such a loving and caring person, because she took the time and made sure to capture all the memorable moments through her lense and she was very professional, and we cannot say enough about Sarah and how pleased we were with her. Sweet Sarah we can’t thank you enough ❤️
Sarah was wonderful. She was the photographer for our Daughter's Wedding. Brett and Emily Cote.
The photos were amazing. She captured all the emotion, romance and the beauty of all...
the special moments. We are so pleased with her and all the hard work she and her staff did. I would highly recommend Sarah, she was tremendous.
Sarah is amazing!!! If you are looking for an incredible, talented, fun spirited, and amazing photographer then you have found her!! I could not rave enough about Sarah and am so g...
rateful that she was able to shoot our engagement photos as well as our wedding. Sarah makes sure to be super involved throughout the process, helps you and your loved one have that much more fun, and is just an all around fun, loving, professional, and outgoing photographer. Seriously she is amazing!! Our pictures turned out beautiful and I know we will be forever grateful!! Hire Sarah! She will make all your dreams come true!!!
Sarah is so personable, charismatic, and loving. Her whole persona makes the wedding day THAT much more special! You spend so much time with the photographer on the day of the wedd...
ing, and choosing Sarah to be the one that was with us on our special day was such a good choice! Not to mention her actual photography is incredible. She captures moments that tell the story of a relationship, a marriage, and a wedding day. No detail is overlooked and she is simply amazing!
Oh my goodness. We could rave about Sarah forever. She captured all of our personality and love SO beautifully and so authentically. Sarah made us feel so comfortable and really al...
lowed us to just be ourselves during the shoot, so our pictures reflect every bit of who we are as a couple! She is professional and kind, and so welcoming- we honestly left calling Sarah a friend! The photos she gave us are memories I know we will treasure forever. We would choose her again and again!
We had Sarah as our photographer at my sons wedding & we could not have asked for a sweeter, kinder gal! All of our guests loved her & then when the photos came in we were blown a...
way! Her little touches to detail just made everything about our day perfect! Thank you Sarah for an amazing day & a lifetime of memories with your beautiful photos!
We hired Sarah for our engagement shoot and wedding, on the spot, after meeting with her. I went through HUNDREDS of photographers online, and no one measured close to her quality,...
style, and EYE for a good shot. Knowing how to pose people is so so so important, and no matter how awkward you are, this girl KNOWS how to help you loosen up and pose in a natural way that never looks "posed." You honestly just follow her simple instructions to connect with each other and be yourselves, and somehow, just like that, it's the most beautiful photo you've ever taken together. Anyway, so upon meeting her my fiance straight up asked where to send the deposit because we didn't even need to talk about it, we knew she was the one! She is the cutest, funniest person ever, and you can tell she loves what she does!
Flash forward to my engagement shoot and the photos are absolutely INCREDIBLE, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime. I get so many compliments on them, and I have yet to see someone else's photos I like more (and we all know how easy it is to compare when it comes to wedding stuff). Not only did we get the album of our dreams from this shoot, we had so much fun with Sarah and could not have felt more comfortable. Her warm and inviting energy makes you feel so safe, and immediately upon arriving she gave us a little pep talk, told my fiance what to do with his hands when he's not sure, and turned us from the most camera-shy couple to actual models in minutes (lol). I really don't know how she did it because I'm someone who doesn't even know how to smile for a photo.
I am so beyond excited to have Sarah shooting my wedding in two months, and I can't wait to just laugh hysterically and feel all the love, all over again. xx
Sarah was simply amazing! We had a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas and my daughter insisted that we bring Sarah along with us, because she could not imagine anyone else phot...
ographing the most important day of her life! It was the best decision we made! Sarah was so friendly and professional and she put everybody at ease, which helped create the most beautiful and relaxed wedding photos I have ever seen! She captured all of the love and happiness of the special day. I can only hope that Sarah is willing and available to photograph my other children’s weddings when that day comes.
This review is long overdue but is the least I can do for Sarah, she is honestly THEEE best! I had gone through so many recommendations and looking for a photographer that had a ce...
rtain aesthetic and vibe that matched what I was going for in terms of pictures. I honestly had lost hope and then late one night on one of my searches I found Sarah's page and the rest is history! I emailed her to ask about her services and she got back to me right away, like less than 24 hours and when we finally met in person it was like I met my blond sister from another mister. We hit it off right away. She was so excited and invested in capturing our love story and really took the time to get to know me and my now husband. My husband loved her right off the bat too, so I knew she was a winner. Sarah always responded to my emails or texts if I had any questions and followed up with planning timelines. During our first session with her for the engagement photos, (which I highly recommend because this is where we built the relationship with her and felt comfortable with her after spending a whole day adventuring) we had a general direction of where we were headed and it was just fun to find unique spots along the way. She was up for anything and made it so fun! We received previews less than a week later, and same with the wedding photos as well. And the pictures? TO DIE FOR... I mean, I still look at them and cannot believe it is my husband and me. She captured our love perfectly, not posed, just in our moments, loving on each other which is exactly what we wanted. Our pictures turned out so well that we actually ended up getting a feature on JuneBug Weddings! (you can view the link on her ig stories ;) The icing on the cake. Honestly, do yourselves a favor and look no further, HIRE HER! Also, shout out to her second shooter for our Wedding day photos, Ridge! He was awesome as well. Sarah also understood I was on a budget and so she worked with me to figure out the best package option for our needs. She's great all around and is like framily to us. We will continue to use her as our photographer for whatever comes our way in the future. Thank you Sarah, you truly are amazing at what you do. <3
If you are reading this you have found the most talented and magical photographer there is. The way she makes you feel behind the camera and how they come out is the epitome of UNR...
EAL. Sarah is nothing short of amazing!!! Her efficiency in getting the perfect shot and her direction is what sets her apart from other photographers. She has only shot my engagement photos so far and we are utterly obsessed. She captures any moment so beautifully and creates such warmth in photos. She gets the endless laughter, the raw emotion while making you feel so comfortable and confident. We can’t wait to be behind her lens on our wedding day and see what she magically produces. Your hunt ends here, do yourself a favor and book her!
I spent hours, days, and weeks researching wedding photographers to find one that would fit with mine and my husbands style. Save yourself the time. Stop looking now, and just book...
her! We had so much fun shooting with Sarah. She is a sweetheart and kills it behind the lens. She was willing to get all adventurous with us and take a trip to the desert for our engagement photos, which are amazing. She feels like family the second you meet her and you'll be happy you get to share your wedding day with her! She's got the special combination of skills and personality that truly makes her the best in the biz and we are so glad we chose her!

HIRE HIRE HIRE Sarah and her team, I promise you it will be the best wedding decision you make.. ever.
Ok. I'll just say, right off the bat, that if you are looking for a photographer for an upcoming wedding, just stop reading this review right now and book Sarah. Like now, now.

he's that awesome.
Having Sarah as our photographer was one of the most amazing, incredible, and wonderful experiences we could dream of for our wedding, and we were truly blessed to have someone so warm, friendly, and talented to help sprinkle even more magic fairy dust on our big day. Make us feel happy and comfortable? Check. Handling the bridal party, family, and all members of your wedding with grace, care, and precision? Check check. Shoot some of the most beautiful, jar-dropping photos you've ever seen in general, let alone of a wedding? Check check check.
In closing, Sarah is as good as it gets across the board. 10/10. No, 11,10. Thanks, Sarah. You're a rockstar.
Sarah was the absolute BEST!! She photographed my best friends wedding and I honestly thought they knew her already because of how comfortable she made everyone feel. She has an am...
azing personality and a really great eye for capturing every little moment - including the bridesmaids taking a shot before heading to the ceremony ;) I will be recommending her to anyone I know who gets married in the future. We all had such a great time with her and wish we could do it all again!!! Thank you, Sarah!
Sarah was an absolute sweetheart to work with! She felt like just another one of my close friends throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to captu...
re my day and every special moment. The photos she took were absolutely stunning! She was so quick to get our photos back we got our preview after a week when we are on our honeymoon. It was the perfect treat! Her entire album was done not too long after, and it was so nice being able to share it with friends and family. We used her for our engagement session as well, and she was so great dealing with all my insecurities of taking photos hahaha! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, she is understanding flexible and has a great eye for the perfect photo!
Sarah is the BEST photographer I have found! We hired her for our engagement shoot. We wanted to hire her for our wedding, but she is already booked and we are SO sad she can’t be ...
there!
I had been looking at so many photographers, and nothing anywhere else really “wowed” me. Then I saw the engagement photos of a friend of mine that were done by Sarah and I knew I had to hire her! Her style is so light-hearted, fun, and natural. She wants to capture the real you, which she did a perfect job of. If you hire her, prepare to be BLOWN AWAY by her pictures.
She was so sweet from the very beginning. My fiance and I tend to be awkward in front of a camera and she made the whole experience so fun. We even had our puppy in some of the pictures. We really enjoyed her company too, she is very personable and just overall fun to be around. The photos turned out amazing and we look like we are having a blast (because we were!). She is so talented at capturing the light and editing it just right to make everything really pop.
What my fiance and I loved most about her is that you can tell she truly LOVES what she does. She pours her heart and soul into the shoot and editing the final product. I would give her a million stars if I could!! Hire her, you will not regret it!!
Sarah is a good friend of ours and she blessed us with a shoot after the wedding to capture our special pictures, just the two of us, together, away from the chaos of wedding day. ...
My husband and I didn't do a first look and had some mishaps with the photographer (not Sarah) that we had booked (before we met Sarah) and did not get many pictures just the two of us, so when Sarah offered to shoot us on a later date, I almost cried from relief! Our shoot happened to be scheduled for the day before our three month anniversary. Our shoot was so special. I felt more like what I wanted to feel like as a bride than I did on our wedding day. I felt beautiful, I had so much fun taking the pictures with my husband, and I felt like I got to do a redo of the day without looking frazzled! I know our pictures are going to turn out absolutely beautiful and be pictures that we can be proud to show our children and grand children in years to come. Saturday was so wonderful! Thank you so much, Sarah, for being the sweetest and most wonderful friend to us. Your caring heart really did redeem and make our individual photos something that I will cherish forever.
I don't even know where to begin with Sarah, she is absolutely AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will make you feel oh so special and completely connect ...
with you and your other half , you have found her. I would give her a billion stars if I could!! Right away Sarah completely invests herself 100% into your wedding journey. She makes sure to call just to check up on you and gives the best advice! She has helped me and my fiancé with so much even outside of the photography aspect. Of course though, we are absolutely in love with Sarah because she has provided us with the most absolutely beautiful pictures that have completely captured our love and personalities. During shoots, she makes you feel so comfortable and is just so much fun to be around and work with. I could not thank Sarah enough!!! We love our pictures and will have them forever to look back on.
Let me just start by saying, if you hire Sarah, get ready to be miiiiind blown! Haha… A professional photographer with an eye to capture every moment, a good time with a good soul...
, and now someone we would call a friend, Sarah is nothing short of awesome!
A huge thank you to Sarah for the beautiful engagement photos, the so sentimental blogs she wrote about us, and the breathtaking wedding photos. She created stunning shots that take us back to that day each and every time we look at them. She captured all of the emotions, laughter, special moments, and even moments we would’ve missed otherwise… and most of all, she captured our love for one another perfectly. It’s been really amazing to show our photos to family and friends that couldn’t make our day and all of them have said they feel like they were there with us after viewing them.
From our engagement photos (when Matt showed up and forgot his pants but at least I remembered the champagne) to the wedding day when your calm spirit helped me get through the stress; you weren’t just our photographer but you became our friend. You took the time to get to know us as a couple and all of the small intricacies of our wedding and the results of your hard work are just phenomenal!”
She has such an amazing talent for capturing ‘moments’ which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. It’s not the formal photos that remind you how great your day was – it’s the natural fun and excitement that is so important to be documented. Her ability to not to miss a moment is incredible, and her energy and passion comes across in the photos.
So yeah, not only would we recommend her – we would shout it from the rooftops! Hiring Sarah was the easiest decision we made during our wedding process and we are so happy that we did!
Sarah was amazing! My husband does not like to be in front of the camera (nor do I) and she made us both feel so comfortable. She is fun to work with and made us both feel so at ea...
se. She has a laid back attitude and down to earth personality, but is also very serious about capturing the perfect pictures on your wedding day. She spoke with me several times prior to the wedding so she knew exactly what my vision was for the day of. We both love all our pictures and it is so special to have these moments captured for us to look back and remember forever. I would highly recommend Sarah!
If you are looking for someone who will capture every memorable moment from your special day, you just found her. Sarah is a GODDESS with a camera! My wife and I couldn't have wish...
ed for a better suited photographer to capture our special day. From meeting with us weeks beforehand to the day of the event, Sarah was there every step of the way. She helped us feel comfortable with our choice in her and she made sure to honor every aspect of the contract we agreed upon. She went ABOVE and BEYOND the contract, sending us our photos well-before the contracted due date and the editing she performed on the photos was outstanding. Sarah even helped us know each step of the process along the way, letting us know exactly what she was thinking before and even AFTER the wedding was over. Even though the day itself flew by, my wife and I are so blessed to have the amazing images Sarah captured to look back on. They are on all our devices as the home screen's and we have some prints hanging in our room as well. We we are so pleased to have such amazing memories to look back on. If I could recommend Sarah 1000x, I WOULD! We LOVE Sarah and when we renew our vows in the coming years, Sarah is going to be our 1st and only choice of Photographer!
PS: Shoutout to her 2nd Shooter Ridge! Sarah has an amazing TEAM with her wherever she goes!
