About this vendor
Sparkle's goal and vision is to illuminate the emotion of the moment, rather than just the image. Sparkle challenges herself to look at the familiar in new ways, to find meaning and purpose through every photograph - viewing each shoot as a new adventure, a document of life as it happens. Her inspiration was born in the mountains of Park City, a budding artist with braids and a sketchbook. She grew from her crayons to embrace the world as seen through the lens. Sparkle's portraits find their place on pages of magazines, appear larger than life on billboards and proudly grace the walls of happy couples. Her boundless energy stems from her joy of travel, painting, yoga and skiing in her beloved Wasatch mountains...always with camera in tow.

Sarah is an amazing photographer. She was so easy to work with and I was so so happy with all of my wedding pictures. She took a great variety and went above and beyond my expectations.
We had the best experience with Sarah for our destination fall mountain wedding! She had the perfect energy to put us at ease since posing does not come natural to us. I was stressed and frazzled when Sarah arrived on the day-of the wedding, but after a few minutes alone with her and my fiancé, I felt better and started to enjoy the day! We are so impressed with our photos - She captured the beautiful mountain setting and the fall leaves perfectly! Picking only a few photos for our wall was an impossible task! I could not recommend her enough!
Sarah is the absolute BEST! I cannot recommend her enough. We had the pleasure of her shooting our wedding day and she is such a joy to work with. Neither my husband or I are big on having our pictures taken but Sarah made it so enjoyable. She really listens to your wants prior to your wedding or session and shows up in the ways you ask her too. I wanted a photographer who made me feel relaxed and comfortable and Sarah far exceeded expectations. She’s the sweetest person too and everyone loved her. Not to mention her work is incredible and she turned our pictures around so quickly after the wedding. Another amazing note to mention is that we used Jared Wortley as our videographer and Sarah has worked several weddings with him before. You would’ve thought they were on the same team, they worked flawlessly together. 10/10 can’t recommend her enough
Sarah is the best! She has photographed my sister's wedding, family photos, and my wedding this fall. She brings the most wonderful energy and truly captures magic. We truly cherish every single photo she took, and cannot sing her praises enough!
Where do I begin?! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sarah as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't feel luckier. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was not just a talented photographer but also someone who genuinely cared about making our special day even more extraordinary.
Sarah went above and beyond to get to know us as a couple before the big day, taking the time to understand our vision, go thru our Pinterest board and set up a zoom.
I mentioned that I really wanted a “vintage backdrop” to take pictures on. I didn’t bring it up again… but as I finish getting ready on the "big day" and we walked out to start photos, Sarah had the backdrop waiting for me! It was beyond thoughtful and her dedication to making my dreams come true was SO extraordinarily meaningful.
One of the things that truly sets Sarah apart is her incredible attention to detail. She left no stone unturned and captured every single shot we had in mind, even going the extra mile to get a picture with me and my godparents (it was the last one on "the list" and she made sure to get it!). It is a picture I’ll cherish forever.
Sarah's flexibility was also a lifesaver during our wedding weekend. We decided last minute to have her shoot our welcome party on Friday (THANK GOD - great investment and SO happy I have pictures from that event!). She also brought in a second photographer on short notice for Saturday who seamlessly integrated with the day.
My husband and I aren’t “naturals” in front of the camera. But the photographs she captured are nothing short of breathtaking. We felt completely at ease working with her and taking pictures with her (our first look, etc. before the ceremony) was such a highlight of our day. It was intimate, fun and creative.
I would choose Sarah over and over again if we could. Her passion, dedication, and talent as a photographer are truly exceptional, and we are beyond grateful she agreed to be a part of our weekend. Thank you, Sarah, for making our wedding memories so incredibly beautiful and timeless. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to work with a beautiful human who is also a TOP-notch wedding photographer.
Sarah’s stunning photography is what first grabbed our attention, but we never could have hoped to have worked with a photographer who is such a lovely person, as well! Meeting her for the first time was almost like seeing an old friend, and she did an absolutely stunning job of capturing both our welcome dinner and wedding day. Sarah sent a few photos of the welcome dinner to me that night, and I was absolutely blown away and couldn’t wait for the wedding photos to follow! I wanted a photographer who would capture the joy and love of our wedding weekend, and Sarah did all that and more. She made our family and entire bridal party feel so calm and comfortable, taking control when she needed to but never pushing anything on us. Even in the chaos of a million family photos, we could feel Sarah’s grounding presence and it was very much appreciated! Working with Sarah was really a dream and we can’t recommend her and her team highly enough!
We are so happy that our son and daughter-in-law chose Sparkle Photography for their wedding. They were so professional and nice throughout the whole wedding weekend, and literally captured every aspect and every picture we could have dreamed of and more. All of the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL! Sarah was so professional and attentive to every deal that we truly can’t recommend her enough!
Is it normal to tell your wedding photographer that you love her after..? Because that's exactly what happened... We LOVE Sarah and cannot imagine having worked with anyone else for our wedding in Serre Chevalier, France. First of all, we called her only a few months before our ON SKIS mountain wedding and she dropped everything, grabbed her ski stuff and made it happen for us. Second, her energy is unmatched. You are instantly comfortable. She is calm/cool/collected yet you feel her excitement and care for you. And last but most important, the memories, moments and details she captures are STUNNING. I still don't know how she was in all the important places at once. It will forever blow our minds. She is complete MAGIC. Sarah you are truly one-of-a-kind. Thank you for being with us. OUIHAW!
Sarah was such a pleasure to work with! She was always willing to hop on a phone call prior to the wedding, and assisted in creating our timeline. We chose not to do a first look, and she was very reassuring that we would still be able to get all the pictures that we wanted. After our ceremony, we were actually waiting on someone at the venue to take us to the location for photos - Sarah didn't waste any time and had us take pictures while we were waiting, and they even wound up being some of my favorite!
Thank you, Sarah, for all your help in making our wedding great!
First, Sarah traveled all the way to a small town in France and photographed three days of events at different venues. And the photos…. Absolutely gorgeous! Sarah completely captured the essence and the spirit of these celebrations. Throughout all of the festivities, Sarah was calm and competent which allowed us to be completely relaxed and in each moment. She has given us the gift of her talents, her professionalism and her amazing photography!
I LOVE working with Sarah!! I have worked with her both on the wedding-planning side, as well as me being the Bride! She did my engagements & wedding photos and we absolutely love her work. She is such a calm, sweet person to be around, so it definitely helps if it's a stressful wedding day - mine wasn't tho ;)
Sarah is a pro at what she does, she doesn't need direction, knows exactly what photos to get and how to direct the people/ content in them.
HIGHLY recommend working with Sarah! <3 Thank you for all of your love and support over the years!
I highly highly highly recommend Sarah Baltz and Sparkle photography to capture forever memories of any event! She has a most creative, keen eye and the photos from our daughter’s New Years Eve wedding weekend are spectacular. Not only is Sarah a total joy to work with, but the pictures are just gorgeous. She captured all the happiness and joy that just ooze from the pictures!
I don't even know where to start with what a joy it was to work with Sarah. Not only did her photos exceed our expectations, but she actually captured the *feeling* of our day in addition to the details-- not the mention the face that Sarah, herself, is a delight. Highly recommend!!!
Sarah was FANTASTIC to work with, and we absolutely love the photos from our wedding. Ahead of the wedding, we spoke with her on the phone several times. She helped us think through some fun skiing/chairlift shots we wanted to get after the first look and how to work that into the timing of the day, and we chatted about what our priorities were. On the day of she had the best energy and our families all agreed she made the experience SO fun even when it got windy and cold during our photos. Skiing after the first look was unforgettable and we love how she captured the fun we were having! She turned around the photos on a short timeline and in an easy-to-use and organized portal where you can save favorites and easily share the link with guests. When we got the photos back, we were amazed by all the candid moments she had captured when we didn't even realize she was shooting. They are our favorite shots! Our guests were also raving about the photos. The only challenge will be narrowing down pictures for albums and framing! We can't recommend Sarah enough
Let me just say that Sarah is absolutely amazing! She photographed our daughter's wedding about a month ago and the results are simply outstanding! And, on top of her incredible talent as a photographer, she is such a pleasure to have at the special event. I cannot recommend Sarah more highly!
Sarah and team Sparkle were amazing. All of our daughter's wedding guests commented on the special quality of the photographs. And Sarah put on her ski gear to capture wonderful shots on the slopes. We highly recommend!!
The pictures were incredible! Sarah made everything easy and low stress. She has a great understanding of outdoor lighting to set us up to look our best. Can't thank her enough!!
Sarah Baltz of Sparkle Photography is the best wedding photographer you can possibly find, for a celebration local to Utah or a destination wedding far from there. Sarah's abilities to perfectly capture love between a bride and groom, laughter, happiness, beauty, joy within extended family, candid moments amongst wedding guests, beautiful landscapes, and all of the details that go into wedding events are second to none. Sarah's work is awe inspiring. I simply can't say enough good things about Sarah Baltz - she's talented, creative, confident, kind, caring, good natured, energetic, enthusiastic and all the while calming and grounding. Sarah is a relationship builder. Sarah is incredibly organized, on time, polite, professional and her temperament and interpersonal skills really showed leading up to our wedding, and carried us throughout a weekend full of events going on. If you have a wedding coming up, Sarah Baltz of Sparkle Photography is without a doubt the woman for the job!
My husband and I hosted our wedding on October 1, 2022 at Sundance Mountain Resort in Utah. We live in Southern California, so we needed a destination wedding photographer. My husband and I got connected with Sarah (via a referral form our wedding coordinator) and ultimately invited Sarah to take photos at our Rehearsal Dinner, Welcome Drinks, Wedding Ceremony and Reception, all of which events occurred at Sundance Mountain Resort. Sarah hit everything out of the park, captured everything perfectly and beautifully, and impressed us (as a person and photographer) every single step of the way -- in the days and weeks leading up to our wedding weekend, during the events themselves, and in the days following our wedding.
I'll always cherish our time working with Sarah, the photos she beautifully captured, and the new friendship I have with her. We can't say enough good things about her, she went above and beyond for us and we'll always be grateful for Sarah Baltz!
Sparkle Photography was the best of the best. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that Sarah captured for our "micro wedding" at Stein Lodge. She knew the venue inside and out and captured some amazing moments. We are ever grateful!
Sarah is such an amazing photographer that I do not think words are enough! She flew to Italy for our daughters Tuscany wedding and she told a story through her photos. She is so easy to work with and very professional! She spends so much time in the shadows, catching those special moments! Thank you Sarah!
Sarah was an absolute DREAM to work with! After an initial meeting in Jan-21, we fell in love with her photos and her warm/calm energy so we hired her immediately for our Feb-22 celebration. Since this was our sequel wedding, we asked her for ideas to capture the charm of Park City, our 'adventure' theme, and all the fun/less-traditional details for the celebration. She far exceeded our expectations in crafting the perfect couples shoot on Main Street, shot list/plan for the ceremony and after party, and even skiing with us to start the ceremony. She made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process so that we could let loose and be ourselves. We are so in love with how beautifully she captured the love and joy from our special weekend and definitely look forward to working with her again.
Sarah was the easiest decision we made for our wedding! My mom and step dad used her for their wedding a decade earlier so it was an easy, sentimental choice, but she was so lovely and professional throughout our whole experience with her we couldn’t have been more happy. The shots came out great, a good mix of candid and posed. We have her photos of our big day printed all over the house and love gifting them to loved ones or even just looking at them to reminisce on the day from time to time. Thank you so much Sarah!
Sarah is THE BEST and so fun to work with! We used her for our wedding and loved the pics so much we booked her again when our family was in Park City this Spring. Can’t say enough how awesomely talented she is!!!!
Sarah was an amazing addition to our wedding day. We didn't have any special requests or direction for the photos, but she still managed to capture stunning photos. She was pleasant, kind, and very thoughtful! If you have the chance, you should book her!
Sarah was fantastic, and such a calming presence at our engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding!!! We had the best experience with Sparkle and would highly recommend Sarah to anyone searching for a wedding photographer!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer (or really any photographer, for that matter), look no further. Sarah Baltz is the absolute best! I was lucky enough to have Sarah photograph both my wedding and rehearsal dinner, and she was hands-down the best vendor that I had the pleasure of working with for my wedding weekend. Our pictures turned out absolutely STUNNING - Sarah captured limitless candid, intimate moments that I didn't even realize were being photographed. Best of all, Sarah is an absolute delight to be around. She is wonderfully warm, and made me, my husband, family, and friends all feel incredibly comfortable with being photographed all day - something that we are not accustomed to! You will not regret working with Sarah.
Sarah did both my bridal shoot, as well the ceremony and reception. I cannot say enough good things about her and her skills. I absolutely loved the photos, but ALL of my guests have commented on how amazing the photos turned out. If you can book her, you should!!!
My fiancé reached out to Sarah to capture a surprise proposal on the top of the mountain in Park City. With us not being from the area, she helped him pick the perfect location, and she truly captured it all! We are both blown away by the pictures, and she was wonderful to work with! She went above and beyond with ideas for pictures and locations! I’m so glad he found Sarah. Because of her, we have so many gorgeous photos to be able to relive that day for the rest of our lives!! Thank you again!!!
I honestly didn't know Sarah was there until she was right next to me congratulating me! She was so genuinely excited that I felt like I was sharing the moment with a best friend I knew forever. Sarah was such a key part in helping my fiance pull off the ultimate surprise proposal. She not only recommended additional vendors to make it extra special, but also just captured the moment so beautifully and skillfully. She was very familiar with where we got engaged at the Stein Eriksen Lodge so recommended amazing areas to pose for photos. My fiance and I always thought we'd be weird in candid photos but she helped make it so natural. So grateful for the amazing photographs Sarah capture that we'll treasure forever! We and our friends/families are still in disbelief at how these photos are even real - they are beyond beautiful! We're not based in Utah so unfortunately can't hire Sarah for our wedding but would definitely recommend!
Sarah was truly amazing! She pictures of our proposal in Deer valley, as well as some engagement pictures a few months later. Nothing compares to the quality of her photos. She also edits and sends them back so fast!!!
Sarah was incredible. I planned a proposal in Park City having never been to the venue (let alone the city). For weeks she worked with me to hear my ideas and gave me advice on the best way to make it happen. She coordinated with the venue, did an incredible acting job by pretending to work at the venue, and last but not least took the best photos imaginable. She went above and beyond by traveling back to the hotel and taking more pictures at the dinner we had planned. I can't recommend Sarah enough.
Sarah was absolutely brilliant. I am so glad that I had her taking our proposal photos. She was so professional, and provided such a personal experience for us. I planned the proposal months in advance and she was there for every change, phone call, and text. It was such a painless and easy process working with her. There was always a smile from ear to ear on her face, and her attitude was so refreshing! On top of it all, and maybe most importantly, her aesthetic is absolutely beautiful. She truly is a talented photographer, with all the bells and whistles to match. We will be looking into bringing her to our wedding, she is so good! She has my highest recommendation, absolutely brilliant work.
Sarah was absolutely amazing. Very sweet, professional, and gave us some amazing photos from our engagement! I would highly recommend her for your photography needs. She also sent over our photos the SAME DAY so we could share with family and friends. It’s clear she goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you Sparkle Photography!
I was fortunate enough to work with Sarah in August when she was shooting my daughter’s BatMitzvah. I can’t tell you how nice and accommodating she is. She worked with us even though it was very last minute, she found great locations for the photoshoot. She was Super patient and fun with all the kids in our party and the pictures came out absolutely stunning. She captured the style and the feel perfectly. We have it all, Color, black and white and candids. She is super professional and a great photographer. Stop looking- you found the BEST one. She also works with a few great videographers. Everyone she recommended was fantastic. Trust me- Sarah is the best.
If we could rate Sarah higher than the highest rating here, we would. We don’t think words can even express how great Sarah was for our wedding day. We had a very romantic & intimate wedding ceremony + reception at the Grand America Hotel, Utah this year and we were looking for someone who could “illuminate the emotion of every moment” of our special day. We couldn’t have found anyone better than Sarah to get the job done. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She wasn’t just our photographer, she was more like an elder sister trying to make our day look perfect.
We met her a couple of times before the wedding at the venue and she already had a plan for us – the perfect spots at the venue, perfect poses, etc. She identified those little moments that every couple wants to capture, and captured those with such poise and grace. She interacted with each and every guest at our wedding and captured some really cute moments that we’re going to cherish forever. She shared the sneak peeks shortly after the wedding and we knew we were going to absolutely fall in love with the rest of the photos. All the photos were simply INCREDIBLE!
We have a big Indian wedding ceremony coming up soon and we are going to have Sarah fly with us to India to shoot the full traditional wedding. She has an exceptional eye for composition and we absolutely LOVE her work.
Thank you so much for being such an incredible addition to the best day of our lives! <3
I have known and LOVED Sarah for many years and trusted her with my family photos and now my wedding! Beautiful candid and formal photos, stunning backgrounds, and most importantly.. her sweetness and kindness are legendary. What a beautiful, graceful woman and exceptional photographer!
Amazing photographer! She captured all of the shots we wanted for our mountain wedding. Such a pleasure to work with also. Such a kind person and absolutely makes sure you and her are on the same page for what you’re looking for from your photos. We just loved her so much!!
I'd get married again just to have Sarah take more photos! My husband and I eloped, it was quite last minute, and we didn't need a "traditional" photo package. Sarah could not have been more understanding and accommodating! She was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns and put us 100% at ease.
Of course I was nervous on the big day, but when she arrived it was like an old friend had just come to hang out with us! She was totally professional, calm and understanding. She made us laugh and at times we even forgot she was there...which for a wedding photographer, I believe, is a good thing.
Her work is outstanding. The photos far surpassed any idea of what we thought we might be getting. We look through our photos often and are continually grateful we had Sarah, who was able to capture those moments perfectly.
Sparkle Photography stands out from other wedding photographers. Their professional demeanor and willingness to personalize all aspects of service and end product. I will always refer Sarah to my brides.
I do not often get professional pictures taken in general and so am very uncomfortable when it does happen. Weddings are typically stressful events with a lot of planning, even small ones, so adding stress and discomfort should be avoided. That said, Sarah (owner of Sparkle Photography) was the perfect person to have in charge of photos on our important day. I really didn't want to direct the photography sessions or worry about missing those special details that need to be captured. She made sure that I had every step of my wedding covered, she caught it all! She made everyone comfortable and she was very easy to work with, taking the lead when I was at a loss for ideas. I would certainly recommend her to my family and friends.
As the Bride, I can say I’d highly recommend Sarah and Sparkle Photography. She is talented, kind, professional, and accommodating. A true rock in the midst of craziness! Shortly after the wedding, we received the photos online to share with family and friends. We ordered one print and ended up ordering more. The prints are HIGH quality and beautiful (I’d recommend at least one print). It was a true joy to work with Sarah and Sparkle Photography!
Sarah is so personable and easy to work with, you will immediately feel comfortable around her. She is so discrete on wedding day but manages to capture really beautiful, unique moments to relive your wedding day over and over again. She worked really well with my videographer and they both produced amazing results. I would hire her again for other events or family portraits. She is really good at getting the perfect candid shots where everybody looks their best.
So very happy with all that Sarah has done for our family. I wasn’t lucky enough to know her for my wedding but have used her for family photos every year. She is the utmost professional- reliable, punctual, honest. And on top of that, she is a truly gifted artist. The moments she captures and how she sees just what is needed is truly amazing. She is also just the sweetest person and so wonderful with children. I know most of her clients find her for their wedding or engagement and then use her every year for family photos and newborn sessions! Highly, highly recommend!!
Sarah made the whole photography experience so comfortable! I loved working with her for my bridal and wedding photos!!! The pictures turned out lovely and everyone I share my pictures with are impressed =)
You can't beat Sparkle Photography. They make you feel comfortable in front of the camera capturing natural moments instead of posed shots. You can also tell that they have extensive experience shooting weddings. They came in with a plan and even asked ahead of time what pictures we for sure wanted to get and if there were any unusual pictures we wanted. A few days after the wedding they sent us a handful of 'sneak peak' pictures. The quality, composition, lighting, everything blew us away. We'll get the rest of our pictures in a few weeks. I can't wait to see them! I'll be going back to Sparkle for future life event pictures for sure.
