Sarah has been an amazing photographer for our wedding! My husband and I actually had two "weddings" one in March and the other in December. Sarah photographed both! We have been b...
lown away with the number of helpful tips and suggestions all the way to the quality of photos produced in the end. Will always come back to Sarah! Thank you Sarah!
I can’t applaud Sarah’s abilities as a photographer enough. We first got in touch with her for our engagement photos and she was so easy to work with, even though my then fiance an...
d I had never done a photoshoot before. She gives cues that are easy to understand and handles the camera marvelously to create pictures that utilize the landscape, lighting, and subjects to the fullest. On our wedding day, she was very communicative about when certain parties and groups had to be ready. Cocktail hour photos went by quickly and she knew exactly how to handle the crowds. I cannot recommend her enough!
Sarah was amazing to work with from our initial inquiry email. One thing that stuck out to us about Sarah was her responsiveness. Whenever we’d reach out with a question or anythin...
g about the wedding she would get back to us within a day, oftentimes within hours. We really respected this about her. She was the only vendor we knew we didn’t have to chase or follow up with multiple times. We can’t stress how important this is, especially while planning a wedding which can already be overwhelming and chaotic. Many times she would reach out to us first about our to-dos and next steps in the process which was really helpful.
We could tell Sarah wanted to get to know us before the wedding day, which was also a big green flag. It meant we felt more comfortable in front of the camera on our big day and could just be ourselves. Another thing we loved about Sarah was her openness to new ideas and she's always down to experiment and try new things when she's behind the camera.
Sarah made everything easy. We could say 1,000 other great things about her but a few more things we especially appreciated were her attention to detail and experience in this industry. She knew what to anticipate and how the flow of the wedding day would go which helped settle our nerves. Her demeanor is calming and we felt like we were in great hands – and you will too! We couldn’t recommend Sarah more as a wedding photographer. Our photos turned out AMAZING and are everything we hoped for and more. You will not regret booking with Sarah! She’s the best in the business!
I don’t think we could recommend Sarah enough! Her and our second photographer, Rachel, did a fantastic job working with us the day of our wedding! Not to mention, they even allowe...
d us to add an additional two hours to their service to ensure we got photos of the day start to finish.
Sarah was super helpful from the start. She discussed packages, shared tips, and helped plan both our engagement session and the wedding. She was also willing to hike up mountains and waterfalls for engagement photos, and travel an hour plus for our wedding! We really loved how she took the time to get to know us, so she could incorporate things we love and enjoy into our sessions and photos. She also made sure to ask if there was anything specific that we wanted for photos, and she made each one of them happen!
The entire process was organized, and everything was scheduled and received in a timely manner. Payments, contracts, and other documents were neatly organized in an online portal that we could access at any time. And of course, the photos turned out flawless, and really helped showcase all the fun and love! We are incredibly thankful that a friend of ours recommended us to book with Sarah! THANK YOU!
Sarah is absolutely amazing! I love every photo she took! The photos were the thing that stressed me out most about the wedding cause I have some body image issues but Sarah heard ...
my concerns and delivered absolutely stunning photos that I will treasure for years to come! She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She had great communication and was extremely punctual.
Patrick and I loved working with Sarah and her 2nd photographer, Nick. We had such an amazing wedding day and they were able to capture every detail. I love that Sarah's editing st...
yle remains true to color and she enhances each photo to its natural beauty. I can't wait to print, share, and reminisce fondly of our wedding day each time we see these photos. I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone, and I would love to work with her again in the future!
We cannot rave about Sarah enough! Not only did both our engagement and wedding photos turn out so well, but Sarah was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the planning...
process and on our wedding day. Many guests commented on how wonderful she and her second photographer were. In addition to getting to wonderful photos of us she got many nice photos of our family and guests throughout the evening. We would gladly recommended her to anyone!
ALSO almost forgot to add she does amazing night photography!!
Sarah was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was always very quick to respond to our (sometimes many) questions and made us feel at ease with the process and on the big day. It...
can definitely feel hectic on the day of and Sarah made sure to walk us through every aspect and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to take amazing photos. Sarah went above and beyond as our photographer - as a small example, we realized that we had left our vow books in her camera bag after the reception and she sent them overnight to us so quickly. We are beyond thrilled with how our wedding album turned out and can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone else looking for a photographer!
I could not have asked for a better photography experience on my wedding day! Sarah truly took the time to get to know my husband and I and made two people who don't love taking ph...
otos have so much FUN! Seriously, this is really saying something because my husband does not like photos! Our engagement and wedding day photos are absolutely spectacular, there isn't a single shot missing that we wanted and we were able to relive the day through Sarah's story-telling photos. The photos are everything from funny to serious to teary to just plain real. If you're looking for a photographer that you will feel comfortable with on one of the most high-energy days of your life and that will deliver amazing quality photos for a lifetime, I can't recommend choosing Sarah highly enough!
Sarah is the best ever!! She's been more than helpful throughout the entire planning process and made sure to keep us moving on the day of to stick to our timeline and still get al...
l of the shots we wanted. She is hilarious and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Based on the highlight photos we just received from her, I know our entire wedding gallery will be gorgeous!! All of our guests agree, the pictures are stunning and Sarah was a pleasure to have with us on our big day! We will definitely use her in the future for any photography needs!!
From the very beginning Sarah was spectacular! I could tell I found the perfect photographer for my wedding right away. From all of her help guides, vendor recommendations, and que...
stionnaires she made planning my big day even easier.
Our engagement pictures were so fun and gave us an idea of her style and what the wedding day would be like.
Sarah was an integral part of making our wedding day go smoothly and she captured not only amazing pictures of my husband and I, but also of all the people we love! Our pictures turned out amazing and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend having Sarah as your wedding photographer!
Sarah was absolutely incredible and we couldn’t be happier about having chosen her to be our wedding photographer. The engagement and wedding day photos she took were stunning, and...
we will surely choose her again for future events. Sarah was easy to work with, on top of everything, equipped for anything that could have come our way, and her personality jived with us in a way that made it truly the perfect fit.
Thank you, Sarah, for helping make our day(s) that much more amazing!
Sarah is hands down the greatest photographer out there.
I met Sarah back in 2017 when she was photographing my brother's wedding. She photographed his engagement pictures, weddi...
ng, newborn photos of my niece and photos for my niece's first birthday. Safe to say Sarah is my family's top pick and go to photographer. When I got engaged to my husband, I knew immediately that I wanted her to photograph our engagement session and wedding.
We live in NC, but drove up for our engagement session. We were both incredibly nervous because we don't like pictures of ourselves, but we felt very relaxed with Sarah. She is so sweet, fun, easy-going and incredible at what she does. She made us feel at ease and we had such a great time.
Last month we got married at Wyndridge Farm and we had the pleasure of working with both Sarah and Tim. I could go on and on about how incredible they both are and how much fun we had. We loved going off to different spots and taking pictures with them throughout our day.
You will not regret booking with Sarah because she truly is the best. Thank you Sarah and Tim for being a huge part of the best day of our lives!
Sarah was great to work with and the pictures turned out beautiful! We had a January evening wedding and the outdoor pictures at night turned out amazing! I would highly recommen...
d and would definitely call Sarah again!
I can’t thank Sarah enough for being apart of our wedding day! From the time we met for our engagement shoot, I knew Sarah would be able to truly understand the love my husband and...
I have for each other and know how to embrace US! Sarah & Amber were an amazing team. Amber was able to somehow keep the guys in line and Sarah, even though we were running late, didn’t rush us at all! I will consistently recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a fun, highly talented, and awesome photographer!!!
Sarah was a seamless part of our wedding day, she is personable, easy to work with, and provided us with amazing photos of our big day that we will cherish forever! Sarah was our f...
riends’ wedding photographer and we loved their final product and hired her as well and we’re glad we did! Sarah’s work is stunning and she provided us with updates and a super fast turnaround time!
Sarah was absolutely amazing. Very professional and listened to my every request. She made the each photo shoot comfortable and simple. I highly recommend her!
Sarah creates MAGIC. I can’t say enough about how great Sarah was to work with. She was instantly able to put my husband and I at ease, and capture some of the most captivating pho...
tographs. I was so pleased with the high quality of my wedding and engagement photographs and I will continue to recommend and use her in the future.
Sarah and her team were absolutely amazing for our renewal of vows ceremony/baptism. 2 years ago we had booked her for our wedding ceremony, but with COVID everything was rearrange...
d and we had to rebook for 2021. She was super flexible and even though it wasn’t a traditional wedding ceremony anymore, she captured exactly what we were hoping for, without us having to explain. What stood out the most is her ability to understand what’s important to her client, time seems to vanish on your wedding day so she made sure to capture the key moments and understood when we were “pictured out” and just ready to party. She worked amazingly with all the other vendors and managed to help us stay on schedule. She’s extremely professional and I recommend her to everyone!
Sarah and her assistant photographed our January nighttime wedding at the Rawlings Conservatory in Baltimore. From the moment we met her, she was enthusiastic and receptive. She ma...
de sure that from day one, we felt comfortable with her. She asked questions that allowed us to think about the particulars of the day. I’ve known people who stressed so much about their wedding photographs, and I can’t express how much of a relief it was to know we could fully trust Sarah to get the shots we wanted without having the photo-taking interfere with our ability to enjoy spending time with our friends and relatives. She was just the right amount of focused and easy-going. For us, capturing candid shots that showed our personalities was very important. As we get our photos back, we see she valued this request and took some great pictures of moments we didn’t think she had captured. We have nothing but happy memories of working with Sarah and of sharing our wedding day with her. If you’ve talked to many recently married couples, you probably know how rare that is. We feel so grateful to her for her artistic work and her fun and supportive personality.
An amazing photographer who also becomes a friend
I cannot give enough stars for Sarah! She put me, my family, and my bridal party at ease throughout the day, as well as helped me...
with my endless questions throughout the planning process. The photos are gorgeous, they were delivered long before I thought they would be and I love every single one.
I planned my wedding from a distance and Sarah also was the perfect vendor to work with--she was accommodating of our travel schedule for our engagement photos and went as far as to provide a list of other local vendors she has worked with to help us out.
If you are looking for a photographer that will feel like a close friend on your day, look no further. I trusted her completely and am so glad I did.

ven on a gloomy day!
Before the wedding she was eager to learn more about us and to help us in the planning process, to ensure our day went smoothly. With Sarah at our wedding as our photographer, and honestly friend, things went perfectly! Her second shooter Valarie was equally as wonderful.
As for our wedding photos, WOW. We were absolutely speechless scrolling through our many many photos! She gave us a sneak peak the morning after the wedding which was incredibly surprising but sooo sweet. A little while later she did a nice blog post about our wedding and shared more photos. Must I say it again? AWESOME.
Our photos are elegant, bright and airy, beautiful, and phenomenally captured our day. She captured every detail of our wedding which was such a relief because the day really does fly by and you don't get to take it all in!
My lovely husband is not the most photogenic and she did a wonderful job of capturing him and getting a good candid smile from him! We will cherish our pictures forever and I can't wait to have our wedding album made to save them in an even better way!
I really can't say enough good, and this review doesn't even begin to cover it all. Just know if you hire Sarah you will NOT be disappointed. Do it. Do it right now!

ious which really helped keep everything not only running smoothly and also made the day feel so much more relaxed than I anticipated and it was awesome. My side of the family definitely has a tendency to get flustered, and even when we were looking for family members, missing items, etc. she remained totally calm and collected. We knew we were in great hands with Sarah! My biggest worry when looking for a photographer for our wedding is that my now-husband is definitely not a big fan of having his picture taken. Sarah is such a warm welcoming person, he felt at such ease being photographed. In our engagement session and at our wedding, his sweet natural smile came shining through! She really took time to get to know us and truly captured our relationship and the essence of our day. She has such a wonderful eye for candid moments and really takes the time to make sure she covers those important special details and shots. Her mastery in all different lighting conditions is incredible – we got married in a church & had our indoor/outdoor reception at a historic mansion that lasted into the evening - everything turned out amazing, and we even had a full moon for our night photos. Sarah was also so incredibly organized and was a total lifesaver. On our way to the church, we found out that the netting in my wedding dress wasn’t properly sewn in – the pins were still in it and the netting was falling down below my dress hem, putting me at risk for tripping on it. Sarah came to the rescue with a box filled with safety pins and helped pin my dress up so I was ready for photos and walking down the aisle. Sarah is amazing and so incredibly talented. We would most definitely recommend her!
Sarah is an absolutely amazing photographer! She has truly mastered this art. She provided such an amazing experience for us on our wedding day. She and her second shooter, Valerie...
, were friendly, punctual, engaging, and talented. Sarah took the time to get to know us before our wedding day. She touched base frequently and kept open lines of communication for any questions I had and to thoroughly review our timeline. She prioritized what we wanted for our photos and truly delivered. She delivered our highlight gallery less than a week after our wedding, and they were absolutely beautiful. We love every single one of our pictures. We can't wait for our full gallery! These are photos we will cherish for many years to come, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our day. I would recommend Sarah a million times over!
Sarah and her second shooter were amazing!! Sarah met with us before hand and answered all of our questions which really eased our stressed as well as gave her professional opinion...
about set up of the ceremony for lighting purposes. We really wanted to get photos done after the first look and be able to enjoy cocktail hour. We were even running late and they made this happen! They were professional yet super fun to work with- getting sunset and night photos. The photos we got back from our sneak peaks were beautiful and we can’t wait to see more! I plan on using her for all my future photography needs!

Sarah is absolutely wonderful and worth every penny we paid! The entire process leading up to the day was organized and she made sure I was getting every picture I wanted and offer...
ed helpful advice throughout the process. The day of she and her partner ran around getting all the detail pictures as well as pictures with us and got everything done very efficiently. Sarah went above and beyond to make our day perfect even in the rain! We have not received all of our photos just yet, but even the few she shares right after the wedding are absolutely stunning. She captured everything I could have every wanted and more. I was stressed out about a lot of things the day of the wedding, but photography was not one of them. I highly recommend Sarah. You will get incredible pictures and not have to worry about a thing.

prior to meeting for our engagement photos. She was easy to work with and flexible when scheduling these dates. Immediately after receiving these photos we couldn't wait for our wedding photos! They truly are amazing!! Sarah worked seamlessly with all of our vendors on our wedding day. Turn around rates were quick with our photos as well. She truly does an amazing job! I could not recommend her more we will continue to use Sarah as our lives change and our family grows.

ys treasure my wedding day photos. Sarah is a great communicator and is very responsive. She met with us several times before our wedding to make sure all of my questions were answered. She even helped us pick out our outfits for our engagement photos. Their work is beautiful. They even sent us a ornament with one of photos on it from our wedding for Christmas! I highly recommend Sarah Wockenfuss Photography!
I can not say enough good things about Sarah and I am so glad she was able to be apart of our wedding! From the start, she met with us to go over what is most important to be captu...
red during our wedding. During our engagement photos Sarah made us feel completely comfortable as these were our first professional photos! She guided us on how/where to stand and the pictures turned out great! For the actual ceremony she captured everything we were looking for and more! It was important for us to spend most of the time with family and friends and not take hours taking pictures. Sarah was so organized that we got the best shots and had plenty of time with guests...although she said she could have shot more formal pictures for hours :) Our family and friends also commented to us how sweet, friendly, and professional she was and were all very impressed with our photos. Anyone that is look for a great experience with an excellent photographer should contact Sarah. We are looking forward to working with her again in the future!
We could not speak more highly of our experience working with Sarah and her second shooter, Tim. Right from the start they put us completely at ease -- by the end of our engagement...
shoot, we felt like we were spending time with friends rather than just our photographers! On the day of the wedding itself, they both went above and beyond to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and more, all the while joking with us and putting any nerves to rest with their friendliness and calm. Not to mention her photos were gorgeous, even though our morning wedding had her shooting with the bright sun almost at high noon! We would recommend Sarah to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer without even a bit of hesitation.
