We were lucky enough to have Sarah shoot our engagement photos! Sarah makes you feel so comfortable the entire time; it feels more like you’re hanging out and having fun than takin...
g photos! It’s all so low pressure and real. When we got our photos we were BLOWN away. We knew she was talented but had no way of knowing how much we would love our photos. They are hung all over our home and receive constant compliments. We can’t wait to have more photos done by Sarah! She’s magic and you will not find a better photographer or have a better experience taking pictures. You will cherish the session and the photos!
Sarah is the absolute best!!! Having your picture taken can be a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but she made us feel right at home on our wedding day. She was very upbeat yet calm,...
and one of the nicest people ever - just the sort of person you'd want to be around on such an important day. Our photos turned out AMAZING - they are true works of art that will stand the test of time. No cheesy poses, nothing cliche, everything was unique yet classic at the same time. We feel so lucky that we got to have Sarah be a part of this very special day with us!!! I would recommend Sarah a million times over!!!
By the time I booked Sarah to photograph my wedding you could say she was almost family. She had been there while I cried my way through both my sister’s weddings so it was only fi...
tting to have her there to photograph my wedding, too. If an entire family falling in love with this sweet photographer doesn’t convince you that you NEED Sarah for your day, then let me continue. Sarah has a photography and editing style that is unique and all her own. My husband and I got married on a rather brisk, windy November day on the shore of a lake and Sarah knew exactly the right angles to best capture the sun, water and overflowing emotion of the ceremony. She was the right person for the job when it came to our couple’s portraits which involved hopping fences and a groomsman security look-out. See, she’ll go above and beyond for the best shot! The thing that is the most captivating about Sarah and why anyone would be lucky to book her for their big day is her ability to find the authenticity. When I look back on my photos, it's not just a moment but rather an entire memory full of all the feels. So much gratitude for this little ball of talent. Thank you, Sarah!
Having Sarah do the photography for our engagement photos and our wedding was one the best decisions we made throughout our planning process. I reviewed probably 100 photographers ...
in the Denver area and her photos were exactly what we were looking for. From the second we met her she made us feel so comfortable (not to mention having hand warmers and beer for us to warm up during our engagement session). On top of her amazing photography skills, she was extremely organized and helped me throughout the entire planning process including timelines, recommendations and just being a sounding board. I honestly can not say enough great things about her as a person and as a photographer and our photos were everything we could have imagined. Do yourself a favor and hire her before she is booked!
Absolutely hire Sarah if you want a genuine connection with the person capturing your most intimate day. My husband and I knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding – just us and ...
our closest family and friends – and even still, the easiest decision we made in the whole process was booking Sarah. We actually chose our date entirely based on her availability. We just knew she was the element that would make our day that much more special. Sarah captured my sister’s wedding a year prior and her heartfelt personality pulled us in immediately. And after my sister got her wedding photos back, I knew Sarah was the talent and heart I needed on my day. She is a quick friend to all, incredibly professional and really makes you feel at ease in front of the lens. Sarah captured more than just the moments of the day – her photos highlight all the emotion and love.She’s an incredible photographer with a heart of gold. You have to book her!
My fiance and I had a blast with Sarah and the photos she took of us are wonderful! Our experience with her from start to finish was fantastic. She booked our adventure session eas...
ily and got back to us quickly. She even picked us up (with snacks, to boot) and drove us to our location for photos -- so nice! She made us feel comfortable during the session and we had a blast exploring with her. Then, she got our photos to us in less time than expected. We LOVE our photos, and she was a joy to work with. Great personality with huge talent. Thank you, Sarah!
I could not possibly say enough great things about Sarah! She beautifully captured my husband and I's engagement photos along with our wedding day. She has a truly artistic eye and...
captures the most precious and genuine moments perfectly. She has the sweetest soul and radiates tranquility and positivity while executing her work. Everyone knows wedding days are stressful and chaotic, but with Sarah there (as calm as ever), she helped me to stay relaxed and joyful. With her, I was able to remain present and enjoy the special day.
My husband and I drove to Colorado to have our engagement photos taken and it was the best decision we could’ve made. Not only does Colorado have the most gorgeous landscapes (and Sarah knows ALL of them!), but she knows how to capture the most raw and intimate moments between you and your partner. There were so many photos that depicted our lives together perfectly and I will always treasure them.
Our wedding was during the peak in wedding season and Sarah still managed to send us sneak peaks just days after our wedding. She then quickly sent us our entire album just six weeks after that! Although I already knew how magical Sarah’s photos were, I was still brought to tears at the first sight of them. She even includes a video that captures your wedding day from start to finish. The video was put together so thoughtfully it felt like we were reliving the amazing day.
I could go on about how amazing she is but just know when you hire her you are getting so much more than a photographer. You are so special to us, Sarah! We love you forever ❤️
Sarah photographed my wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and our photos could not have been more beautiful or perfect! She did such a great job capturing our personalities and the vibe...
of our very laid back island wedding. We didn't even send her photos of what we had in mind, because we had been tracking her photos of other couples and knew her artistic eye would know exactly what to do! Sarah worked with our on-site coordinator and had a whole plan on how she wanted to shoot our wedding. The day of, she was calm (which is exactly what I needed), and made sure we stayed on schedule.
When the photos came out, I almost died of happiness! We had such a tough time picking our top photos because there were just so many we loved! If you want someone to perfectly capture not only your relationship but also your stunning surroundings, look no further, Sarah is your photographer!
I don't have enough characters in this review to tell you how truly wonderful Sarah is and how happy we are with our engagement and wedding pictures!!! Sarah is extremely talented ...
at what she does and truly captured who we are as a couple! She is also a dream to work with when it comes to vendors for your wedding day! Extremely responsive, takes a ton of stress off of you when it comes to thinking about images you would like to be captured on your big day, and she is the sweetest person on the planet!
Absolutely recommend hiring Sarah for your big day! I promise you, she will not disappoint and you will love the images she captures for the rest of your life!!
One of the best decisions we could have made during the entire wedding planning process was booking Sarah for our engagement & wedding photography. Not only did our pictures turn o...
ut beautifully, but she also helped us come up with some great looking unique photos, which we will cherish forever! Sarah was incredibly easy to work with from beginning to end. From scheduling meetings and engagement photos, to the last minute pictures we wanted the day of the wedding, she was incredibly flexible and easy going. We highly suggest meeting with Sarah and booking her for any upcoming photo needs you may have - she's worth every penny and just an AMAZING PERSON!
Sarah is one truly amazingly, amazingly talented photographer. She captured our engagement, our rehearsal dinner, and most of all our wedding day, flawlessly ! When we received our...
images, we were floored. Her work is genuine, beautiful, and touching. She is truly gifted. I would recommend Sarah to ANYONE and everyone who is lucky enough to book her! Thank you for giving us such incredible memories to cherish forever, Sarah!
Sarah is magic. Plain and simple. As soon as my husband and I saw her photos, we knew she had to be the one to photograph our intimate elopement. With just immediate family and clo...
se friends (about 20 people in total), we needed a photographer who would effortlessly fit in and really capture the purpose of it all — love. And Sarah did just that. She got all the moments that made our day so special. Every look, laugh and teary-eyed smile. The ones that other photographers might have overlooked. She knew the things that we’d want to remember forever. And we feel so lucky we get to relive our favorite day through the lens of a seriously talented soul. We're still in awe. So if you’re looking for a sweet, down-to-earth, detail-oriented (aka plays your favorite songs during couple photos and uses your dog’s name for your photo gallery password), insanely skilled photographer, Sarah's your gal.
