About this vendor
I'm an almost 30 something wedding photographer in Northern Virginia. I'm a highly caffeinated, crafty bitch that loves to make experiences out of everything. Chances are you'll find me with a glue gun in hand, combing through antique malls, obsessing over the latest Netflix drama, binging true crime podcasts, or stuffing my face with delicious foods. I'm a big believer that love is love, and the power of being best friends first can overcome anything. Parties are kinda my jam, and I can't wait to be a part of yours!

I remember telling Sara at the end of our wedding night that she was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. She brings the absolute best vibe to the table and m...
ade us feel so comfortable and supported throughout our whole wedding day. Forever grateful for her!
Sara is one of a kind! From the moment we met her on the intro call, my husband and I felt at ease. Before we even hired her, she took the time to get to know us, talked through wh...
at we were looking for, and discussed a potential timeline (which was all SUPER helpful). By the end of the call, we not only felt confident in her professional abilities, but we felt like we gained a friend. And that's before we even started working with her!! During our engagement session, Sara made us feel comfortable so we could get the most natural, romantic, and playful photos!! On wedding day, Sara was so much more than a photographer. She was our hype girl, helped me bustle my dress, helped me take off my veil without it messing up my hair and more. We got a sneak peek of about 30-40 photos only a few days after the wedding and the entire wedding album within about a month. Everyone who sees the photos comments on what a great photographer we had. If you are looking for bright, fun, creative, and colorful photos, Sara is your girl!!!!
Thank you so much, Sara for capturing all the special moments of our day and making it last forever!!!
I knew from the moment I saw Sara's Instagram with a Barbie themed photoshoot we had to have her as our wedding photographer. Her Instagram alone is proof of what a fun an amazing ...
photographer she is! I knew we were in good hands before we met her for our engagement photoshoot. Posing isn't something I ever felt comfortable for and my husband it 6 inches shorter than me. Sara worked with us on our height difference and made posing second nature to us. Sara is charismatic and easy to work with. Everything she touches becomes phenomenal and is worth every penny. Our friends and family can't get over how great all the photos turned out. We cannot recommend Sara enough!
Sara is a wonderful photographer. She photographed our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with the outcome. She is also a great posing coach!
We love Sara and we will shout her praises from the rooftops/any other tall structure we happen to come across. For a wedding/engagement photographer, you will find no better choic...
e. She will capture every moment of your event with a careful eye and a caring heart (I cried when we received our final photo set, both the formal photos and the candid shots were perfect!). Her shot composition is immaculate and her professionalism is impeccable; you can trust her implicitly. She also kept everything running smoothly (including gracefully accommodating some of our family members who had some last minute photography requests). Most importantly, she is an absolute joy to work with.
She also will go above and beyond for her couples to capture their dreams in photograph-form. What she did for our engagement shoot is particularly emblematic of this/how amazing she is. My now-husband and I had been hoping to incorporate cherry blossoms into our engagement photos (given we had gotten engaged in Japan during their cherry blossom season and currently live in Washington DC, also known for its cherry blossoms), but given the myriads of logistical challenges this posed, we had been ready to accept that it wasn’t in the cards. Sara came through for us and, through considerable effort on her part, found us a perfect cherry blossom spot in full bloom tucked away in Virginia. We had it all to ourselves and our engagement photoshoot was an experience we will treasure always (Sara made it feel so special yet so relaxed and we cannot thank her enough for that amazing day). She brought that same care and joy to our wedding day and her pictures captured it all beautifully.
In summary, we cannot recommend Sara highly enough. She will capture every shot of your wedding/engagement perfectly and she will capture your heart as well.
Sara is incredible! Sara is not only a highly talented photographer, but she is also extremely organized, prompt, warm, and hilarious. She made me and my family feel at ease from ...
the moment we met her, I felt so relieved that I had an expert helping me capture my special day. The second photographer that was there on the day of was also fabulous. Sara also did a great job capturing the vibe of my wedding (natural, vintage, party-vibes), she helped all of our ideas come to life (including a hot dog send-off).
My husband and I loved working with Sara! She has the best vibe and personality and is so creative and talented. She worked so hard to deliver us phenomenal photos and capture the ...
essence of who we are as a couple. There were so many pictures that we loved and now have hanging in our home, and all of our friends and guests have been so impressed with her work. We are so lucky that our wedding planner recommended her to us; she was such an integral member of our vendor team and one that we hope to continue to use in the future as well. If I could give Sara ten stars, I would, she is that amazing! She was so flexible and easy to work with, I couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out!
Sara is absolutely, 100% the best choice for your wedding photographer! She is so personable and bubbly while also being so professional. She was able to command the room and wrang...
le my large bridal party for pictures easily. Sara does it all! She even trapped a bird that had found itself inside our venue and safely released it back outside, and it didn't even throw her off schedule or delay pictures! I cannot say enough fantastic things about Sara or her assistant photographer, Mandi. My guests and bridal party are still raving about Sara and how amazing she is to work with! Her pictures are gorgeous, and she excels in both candid and staged shots. I can and will go on and on for years about amazing she is, but just do yourself a favor and book Sarandipity Photography for your wedding right now! It was honestly the best choice we made in the whole planning process!!
Sara was the first vendor we booked for our wedding, the light hearted and romantic airy style of her pictures put her at the top of our list. My husband is extremely uncomfortable...
having his picture taken and she effortlessly put him at ease, so much so he actually claimed to have a good time. Sara guided us through an engagement shoot and of course photographed our wedding. Sara was a fun spark that brightened an already wonderful day, it felt like having another friend in the room with me through all the wedding day jitters. The photographs she took were simply breathtaking, she seemingly captured every moment of the day, and indulged us in a slew of group pictures with our large family. We will cherish these pictures forever. Additionally, the package we booked included a photo album that is truly remarkable, beautifully printed, and absolutely stunning. I have recommended Sara to every bride-to-be I know and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking. There is no one better. Hopefully we have more milestones and celebrations Sara can capture in the future!
Sara photographed our October 2023 wedding, as well as our engagement photos in fall of 2022. She came highly recommended to us by our wedding planner, and did not disappoint! She ...
was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with! She delivered our photos for both engagement and wedding far faster than her contract dictated she needed to. She was a big help on our wedding day wrangling our guests, ensuring all our requested photos were taken on time, and going above and beyond in doing things like bustling my wedding dress. More than anything, she is FUN! We had never been professionally photographed before and she made being in front of the camera easy. We love our photos and will cherish them for years to come. Run, don't walk, to work with Sara!
Wow, wow, wow! My husband and I cannot say ENOUGH good things about Sara! First and foremost she is an incredible human being. It's apparent that she really does love and care for ...
every couple she works with! Sara went above and beyond when working with us and made us feel at ease the entire wedding process. On to her photography - Sara is SO TALENTED! Our engagement shots and wedding day photos came out absolutely magical and felt so effortless. Our wedding day was one of the happiest of our lives and Sara did a perfect job of capturing our light and joy. Do not hesitate to have Sara capture the beautiful moments in your life!
Met Sara at my old job and she was the photographer for a wedding couple. We clicked right away and I told her at the end when it’s my turn to get married I need her to be my photo...
grapher. Fast forward a couple years and I texted her immediately and told her we need her. She did our engagement photos and right away made us feel very comfortable especially since my husband isn’t photogenic. She made beautiful photos, and I was beyond excited to work with her on our actual wedding. Wedding day came and she was a fresh of breath air, bubbly personality and made everyone feel very comfortable. I will keep using Sara every time I have an opportunity to get professionally photos done, she is the best and it shows in all the photos we got!!
Sara made us feel comfortable with her from day one during our first meeting. The package we chose included an engagement shoot which was a great way for us to get to know Sara and...
learn how she worked and also made us comfortable with her and the camera before the wedding day. This gave us so much more confidence on the day of the wedding, and seeing how beautifully our engagement photos came out also gave us peace of mind that Sara was exactly the right fit for the style of photos we were looking for. We had so much fun during both the engagement shoot and on our wedding day and it shows in all the pictures that Sara captured. Working with Sara was effortless and we could not recommend her enough!
Obsessed with her! Our pictures were perfect and Sara made it so easy and effortless. She looked out for the different family dynamics and it was such a comfortable experience for ...
everyone. Could not recommend her enough! Absolutely Amazing!!!!
Sara was absolutely amazing to work with. I could tell from the first conversation with her that we had found someone great. She made our engagement photos not awkward and enjoyabl...
e for both myself and my husband, who at first didn't understand how we could take photos for an entire hour and doesn't like photos taken. She also did an amazing job at the wedding! She was very organized and got all of the photos we wanted! We are absolutely obsessed with all of the photos she took!! Don't look any further hire Sara!!
Sara was absolutely fabulous! She shot our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures and we love every single one of them! She was easy to communicate with throughout the whole ...

rapher, but she went above and beyond our expectations on the day of!
Anyone can grab a camera and take photos, but Sara and Mandi worked professionally and tirelessly to get the shots we wanted and recommended some artistic shots too.
Looking at Sara’s photos, you can tell she is an expert in taking photographs, working with different lighting conditions, and having the creativity to capture beautiful pictures. From the moment she arrived the morning of our wedding, we felt at ease knowing she would be able to help us relive our special day through her photos despite how quickly the day seemed to pass. Sara truly felt like a friend, being there to listen to our needs and being our biggest hype woman during the day’s shoots. She really cares about her clients and truly does not disappoint with her talent and skill!
The essential definition of the word serendipity is having a stroke of good fortune. With Sarandipity, we were so lucky to have come across and chosen her as our photographer!
Sara shot my engagement photos a few weeks ago and to say I’m obsessed with them is an understatement! She did an amazing job making my fiancé and I feel comfortable and helping us...
figure out how to pose and make it look natural and not forced. My fiancé is not a big fan of taking photos but after our photo shoot with Sara, he said he was more open to actually getting pictures taken. I definitely recommend Sara, she’s an absolute gem to work with and makes it so fun to take pictures. Thank you again so much Sara!! ❤️
Loved working with Sara… I’m not usually one who likes my picture taken but needed some photos for my website. She made the whole experience comfortable and fun. I felt like a mo...
del and I loved the pictures! ❤️
Sara was our photographer for our wedding in Sep 2021 and was the absolute BEST! From the initial video conference, to having to change my date due to COVID and then to the actual ...
wedding day, Sara was amazing and so easy to work with! My photos and album came out incredible. I can't thank Sara enough!

g. Aside from her badass photography skills, Sara is such a sweet person who knows her stuff. I felt like the most beautiful bride and I am forever grateful that we chose her as our photographer. Book with Sara if you want stellar photos and unmatched service. <3
Sara is the absolute greatest! We worked with Sara for our engagement shoot, our wedding day, and I even did a headshot mini shoot with her last year. She is an incredible photogra...
pher! She is a great listener and captured the vision of our wedding perfectly in every photo. She approaches each shoot with so much confidence and she keeps everything short, sweet, and simple. My husband and I are not models by any means but she directed our poses in such a way that we look like models! She made us look SO GOOD! Sara also did an excellent job at candid photos. She was somehow able to capture authentic emotion in every photo, which is just so special. Another wonderful thing is that we hardly noticed her the whole night. She captured every single moment without being obtrusive in any way. Best of all, she sent us sneak peeks within 48 hours and the full album of our gorgeously edited photos in less than 2 weeks! I am so grateful that I made the choice to go with Sara for my wedding. She is organized, timely, professional, and so much fun! I would recommend her to anyone I know. Thanks, Sara for helping us have the best day ever!
We hired Sara as our wedding photographer in October 2020, and we are so incredibly happy that we did! She was so easy to work with, organized, funny, and she made every single per...
son feel so comfortable throughout the day. I could not have asked for a better experience. Our photos are absolutely beautiful!! I highly recommend Sara for your wedding or any other event! Thank you so much Sara!

ected. She is so personable and fun! 10/10 would recommend.
Sara was the absolute best to work with. Not only did she capture the surprise engagement where my husband and I had first met, she shot the most beautiful pictures for our wedding...
. She is SO fun and easy going, knowing exactly what works and taking the stress off of me worrying about it! Highly, HIGHLY recommend, I’d have another wedding just to have her shoot it again!
Where do I even begin?! I am so overdue on this review but couldn’t let one more day pass by without doing this. I met Sara years ago through a friend and I loved her from the minu...
te I met her. Over the years she has done business headshots for me and Christmas card minis for us. Before I was even engaged I knew I was hiring her. The minute I got engaged I got in touch with her so I could book her for our date. However, this was a huge ask because my wedding was in Kiawah Island, SC. This entailed travel for Sara, but that didn’t scare her one bit. She said she would be there no questions asked. Sara is such an incredible individual. Her talent and eye for detail is absolutely unreal. She did our engagement shots before the wedding and I was beyond thrilled with every single shot. Truly there wasn’t a picture I didn’t love. Leading up to the wedding there were so many things I wanted her to capture on the big day and without me even having to tell her she just knew. Our family and friends were absolutely blown away by how stunning her work was. She captured everything and more. She encapsulates what your day feels like. Dreamy, romantic, soft, magical...I don’t know how she does it but she conveys all of that in just a single photo. I’m also going to throw out there that I’ve never seen a more hard working wedding photographer. This girl will do literally anything to get a shot! Even if it means contorting her body in all kinds of angles! She also was a pro at keeping everything moving on time and dealing with some unruly groomsmen. My whole family just adores Sara, in fact I’m pretty sure my mom has unofficially adopted her. She is the person you want to have with you on your wedding day. Photos are so incredibly valuable as they will be passed down in your family for generations to come. There’s no other person in the world that I would have felt comfortable with to take on this responsibility but Sara. She is incredibly skilled, helpful and responsive. Not only that but we had our gallery back in less than a month! I’m telling you she is super woman! I could go on forever gushing over her but hopefully you get the point. If you haven’t hired Sara, do it today! Trust me you won’t regret it! Sara, we love you and are forever grateful for all your time, effort and love you put into capturing us!
I cannot recommend Sara enough! She has an incredible eye for detail and capturing sweet moments. You can feel the happiness of our wedding day radiating off the photos. She was or...
ganized, responsive, and so much fun to work with. She made the wedding day a breeze! I was so impressed that she even had a slide show ready for the reception with photos on display that we had only taken less than an hour before. Having that ready to go was such a nice touch for our party! Her assistant Meg was also very sweet and great to work with. Sara got our wedding photos back to us very quickly and we are so pleased with her work. We absolutely love her style and are so glad that we chose Sarandipity Photography!
Sara ROCKS. Her bubbly personality and calm demeanor made everything so easy through the engagement pictures (even with 2 doggos) and day of. She's so talented and the pictures are...
beautiful. She even had a slideshow ready for us to see not long after the ceremony. 11/10 to Sara
Sara was the BEST. She was so easy to work and is such a nice and easygoing person. She also took charge of our large wedding party when needed. Her photos were amazing and she was...

Sara - thank you for doing and excellent job of documenting our wedding journey! We cannot wait to work with you again in January.
Sara is so wonderful to work with! We cannot say enough great she is! We love our photos and we were so comfortable with her!
Choosing Sara as our photographer was a no-brainer. She is fun to work with and made photos feel natural by beginning with our engagement photos several months prior to the wedding...
. Sara is a planner--she knew the schedule of our wedding day better than we did! This, coupled with her creativity and energy made for wonderful candid and posed photos. Can't wait to see her full work from the wedding day. We will recommend her to everyone (asking or not). :)
We cannot stop looking at the amazing pictures that Sara of Sarandipity Photography took at my daughter's wedding on September 30, 2017. She caught all the beauty, energy and happ...
iness of that day. We are simply mesmerized by her pictures. She is truly an artist and knows everything about light, texture and color. It shows in every shot she takes and her easy going style makes every moment fun and enjoyable. We had the wedding on our 10 acre property in Western Loudoun and Sara captured it all. From beginning to end Sara totally 'got it'! Her work will take your breath away! Thank you Sara for capturing all the beautiful moments of that most special day, you are awesome!
