Would give SRS photography more than 5 stars if possible!!! After speaking with a few photographers, as soon as we met Sara we knew the search for our wedding photographer was over. Sara was quick to respond and flexible to schedule time to meet either in person or zoom, and was so easy to work with our needs with what we were looking for out of the wedding packages she offers. Communication leading up to our wedding was fluid and the day of could not have run smoother thanks to her timeline for us.
We received our pictures back and were speechless of how she was able to capture the entire day, we could not have been happier with our wedding pictures from start to end. Between her and her second shooter, they got pictures of every single guest throughout the reception which was really important to us as well.
I cannot recommend Sara enough, she made our wedding planning and day of as easy and stress free as can be with pictures we will look back on and smile at forever.
I will choose Sara every time, for every event, forever. She is a dream to work with. Her honesty, personality and talent are unmatched. I have used her for my maternity pictures, engagement photos and now my wedding. Five stars will never be enough to truly showcase how wonderful she is to work with.
Cheers to you, Sara!
Best decision ever booking Sara for my wedding this weekend. Not only are her pictures gorgeous (she sent us a few within like 12 hours of the wedding!) but she was so easy and fun to work with! I felt like I had a friend hanging around with us just snapping some pictures. Thank you so much Sara!
Sara is truly the best. She did my sister’s wedding, my best friend’s wedding, and we had to have her for our wedding! Her pictures are stunning every time. She and her assistant Dave make you feel totally comfortable. All our photos came out so natural and really captured the feeling of the day! We got such a lovely package with a USB in a keepsake box, and meeting with her was always so straightforward and simple. Cannot recommend her enough!
Sara photographed both of my weddings. My husband does not like having his picture taken. Sara was INCREDIBLE. Not only are our photos absolutely gorgeous and beyond what I hoped for, but she helped put my husband at ease and get him to open up. When we said goodbye to her at the end of the night, I truly felt like I was saying goodbye to a good friend. We were able to get every shot we wanted and didn't feel rushed or pressured. I literally don't have enough wall space in my house to hang all the prints I want to! Hire her immediately!
This is the second wedding SRS has photographed for us. Sarah took amazing pictures!
My wife and I were married 10 years ago and we can remember the day like it was yesterday, all thanks to SRS and Sara. Sara perfectly captured our amazing day. I’m mot even joking when I say that wedding blogs have used our photos to promote themselves using the photos Sara has taken. We made the right choice hiring Sara and would recommend her to all of our friends!
Sara was so great! She worked with us to design a package that fit our needs. My husband and I have never had professional photos done and Sara made the whole process fun and easy! It was COLD the day of the wedding and she was able to get beautiful shots of my bridal party quickly so that they could return to the heated limo! I wanted beach and woods photos and Sara made that happen too!! Pictures were ready quickly and came out stunning!! I cannot recommend her enough!
Sara was great to work with from start to finish. From meeting her the first time, we knew we wanted to have her as our photographer. She has a calming presence and knows what will look good in a photo. During all the unknown with covid, Sara never missed a beat and was there the whole time we changed plans (more than once) to offer advice and guidance. She is so easy to work with and creates beautiful pictures. We also used Sara for our engagement pictures and have gotten so many compliments on them. She also doesn't mind working with a dog, and captured beautiful picture of ours at our engagement shoot and our wedding. For our wedding, Sara worked with Dave who was just as amazing as she is. Both Sara and Dave worked great with us, our bridal party, and our families. They were efficient with taking all of the family photos. They are both up for anything. Sara knew I wanted to take some pictures by the beach (weather permitting) and I am so glad we had good weather to do so. The beach pictures of my husband and I are my favorite. About 3 days after our wedding, she sent us a sneak peak and they are stunning. I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Sara has been by far our best decision and favorite vendor throughout the entire wedding process. We were a covid couple trying to push through with our 2020 wedding in which the plan changed countless times, but we knew one thing all along we wanted Sara to be our photographer. She's got such great energy and a calming vibe, something i desperately needed throughout our engagement shoot (and wedding!) that continued to rain and then rain some more. She still captured amazing pictures while laughing along with us during all the ridiculousness. So many of our friends and families commented how natural and beautiful the photos were! Then came our wedding day which we knew wasn't going to be easy. She really made us feel comfortable and worked with us through a new plan of our small outdoor wedding. Honestly, one of the best parts of our day was our first look and taking bridal party photos on the Long Branch boardwalk with Sara. It wasn't stressful, it was fun and enjoyable. Her partner Dave was so awesome- my husband loved him stating he was funny, calm, and cool to have around when the groomsmen were getting ready. He was a great addition to help Sara get the photos they really wanted. She captured such amazing candid moments just from the initial photos we have seen, we are so happy. I can't wait to see the final touches for the wedding album but we have full confidence it will be beyond our expectations. Sara was professional and just such a pleasure to work with. She's a true artist and deserves praise during these crazy covid times where your vendors really matter, do not hesitate to book her!!
We were beyond ecstatic with Sara’s amazing photography. Each picture captured the moments of our wedding beautifully and candidly. She had an impeccable eye for the most meaningful experiences of our our ceremony along with a strong sensibility in featuring the details and nuances of every aspect of the entire celebration. Her professionalism and reliability during the planning, the day of , and after the wedding were unmatched. I would highly recommend Sara if you really want to distinctly remember your wedding With same amount of beauty and love that was shared on that special day . One million percent satisfied
SRS Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding. She was very accommodating and worked with us to capture our day! She captured every moment, but I don't even remember seeing her on the day; not to mention all of the pictures were super high quality! Amazing job SRS Photography, I'd recommend her to anyone!
Sara was AMAZING!! She was totally on top of getting the perfect shots and was very personable! I love the quality of her pictures as well as the experience of working with her!
Within the first few minutes of meeting Sara, we knew that we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. We met several other photographers and they didn't even compare. Sara showed us several examples of weddings that she had shot - all of her work is absolutely stunning. She is very professional but has such an easy, relaxed demeanor that we knew working with her would be a great experience and we were not wrong; at no time did we doubt our decision.
Aside from being fun and personable, the quality of her work was top notch. The pictures she took really captured our wedding day. She and Dave (her assistant) got so many great shots without being obtrusive or demanding.
Sara also has a great knowledge of the area which added to the quality of the photos. We were supposed to take our engagement photos on the Asbury boardwalk. On the day of, there was a fire in Asbury and Sara was able to find other locations without stress or hassle and our engagement pictures turned out beautifully.
In short, Sara was great to work with and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.
SRS photography blew our minds. Our search for a wedding photographer wasn’t going well, until we found SRS Photography. We didn’t want a cliché, regular photographer, so we fell in love with the style immidiately. The framing, light, and a general mood of their work stood out to us among hundreds of other options, so we scheduled a meeting. Sara was a delight. Her studio was filled with albums and photographs we adored, and seeing how professional, knowledgeable, yet easy going she was it didn’t take us long to make up our minds and sign the contract. It was such a great decision. Everything concerning the photos during the day was absolutely stress free. Sara asked all the important questions way in advance, and guided us through the entire process. The attention to detail was unbelievable. She made herself familiar with our VIP guest list, knew who our immediate families, and best friends were, and made sure we have all the portraits and “must-have” group shots. We are no models, but you couldn’t say that from her photos. She made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, and guided us effortlessly through the whole “portrait” and “candid” part of the day. Later on during the reception, Sara and her assistant blended themselves into the crowd, and took most incredible “action shots”. The photos are stunning, and portraits of our guests are beautiful. It made for a neat add on to “thank you” notes. Their attention to detail was astounding. We brought a few family heirlooms to be incorporated into the decor and/or ceremony, and it’s unbelievable how they showcased them in their photos. We couldn’t be happier choosing SRS photography as our wedding vendor.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with the very talented Sara Stadtmiller from SRS Photography for our wedding. Sara brought her assistant Dave for the day, and together they did an amazing job. Their professionalism, quality, and skill are phenomenal. They’re also just fabulous people! When we met Sara we immediately got good vibes. She took clear instructions about our requests and really got to know us personally and as a couple. She listened attentively and was sensitive and understanding of our unique family situations.
On the day of the wedding, Sara and Dave took all of the posed family portraits that we asked for. We were never made to feel awkward, and they provided the perfect amount of direction. Sara and Dave wore several “hats” throughout the evening. Not only did they take on the photographer role, they also helped in many other ways (putting on the men’s boutonnieres and keeping everyone on task and on time during portraits). They worked well with the wedding venue staff and other vendors, which made everything go smoothly. Most importantly, their humor, enthusiasm, and easy-going energy made us feel at ease.
We LOVE our pictures. All of our friends and family comment on how absolutely stunning they are. Our favorites are the candid shots of our bridal party getting ready and our guests mingling and dancing the night away. They were able to capture so many amazing moments, including many that we as the bride and groom missed.
Every time we look through our photos, we relive our wedding day all over again and we could not be happier with Sara’s work. Her experience, knowledge, and creativity are second to none and we highly recommend her to everyone for all occasions. We are so lucky to have met Sara. She truly captured our wedding day so beautifully—we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!
From the moment I viewed Sara’s online galleries, I knew I wanted her to be my husband’s and my photographer for our wedding. And when I met her to review pricing and see in person albums, I fell even more in love with her work. Sara’s work looks and feels personal- her photos don’t look like some chain photography place where you can just photoshop each couples face into the images and they look the same. They are unique, personal, fun and have captured so much love and excitement of our wedding day. My husband who is not a fan of getting his picture felt totally comfortable with her assistant photographer, and he loves himself in our pictures, which he usually doesn’t. I love having these beautiful memories that we can look back on to replay our wedding day over, and to share with family and friends.
Thank you so much Sara for being so fun and keeping up with all my dancing and running around! I love our online gallery, USB, and prints! I can’t wait to create our album!!
We were so pleased with the beautiful photos that Sara took on our wedding day. She took a lot of time to get to know us and went out of her way to capture the joy we felt on our special day. She was also so discrete during the ceremony and reception that we barely knew she was there, which was something that was important to us. We highly recommend Sara to anyone in need of a photographer! <3
Sara is an incredible photographer who documented our wedding beautifully. Photography was the most important part of our wedding, but we were concerned about it. Would we find someone who was able to take action shots of everyone dancing? Could someone get a ceremony shot with our backlit venue? Was it possible for anyone to get a photo with my eyes open? Short answer: yes.
Sara immediately put us at ease and took time to get to know us as a couple. She incorporated what we wanted (more color and fewer black and white photos than her typical aesthetic, more reception photos and fewer first look photos) while steering us to beautiful engagement and wedding day shots.
Our reception photos were some of our favorites. There are so many beautifully composed dance floor shots. How you can compose a three-hours-into-and-open-bar dance floor shot like an Italian Renaissance painting where everyone looks good? We don’t know, but Sara did, and the end results are framed. Sara and her team were able to take photos of almost everyone at our reception, and they captured the story of the day.
Sara has already done additional photo shoots for other family members.
Wedding photographers in NJ are a dime a dozen, but Sara is in a league of her own - just look at her gorgeous galleries!
My husband and I love going to concerts together (we even got engaged at the Stone Pony) so we wanted to reflect our lifestyle and personalities in our wedding photos, too. Sara designed the perfect wedding day timeline that captured both the traditional photos (to please our families) and the more creative, fun shots around Asbury Park (to please us). So basically, she is a miracle worker who figured out a way to make everyone happy!
We LOVE our album, it's incredible. And now when we see photos from other weddings , we are all like, 'pssssh, they should have hired Sara'.
Book her now!
Sara is by far one of the most professional vendors we had the pleasure to work with for our small wedding held at Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, NJ.
She listened to our needs and came through with pictures of all our requests!
Her photographs were exceptional and we couldn’t be happier!
She captured the heart and spirit of our wedding beautifully.
She always arrived on time, with a smile and courteous manner. We felt very relaxed and it showed in our pictures!
Sara is more than a professional, she is a genuine spirit, that truly loves her career. We met Sara at her office in Asbury and immediately loved the energy of her and the place. Sara worked with our schedule, met with us and was very patient. We did both engagement and wedding pictures and were pleased with both.
On our wedding day, Sara was not only my photographer, she was also my security blanket, as she gently guided myself and my wedding party as to what needed to be done and when. Her assistant David worked with the men, and he was also as helpful and professional as Sara.
Myself and my husband are very happy with Sara and her assistant David, as their professionalism and overall people skills made the day a lot less stressful and more enjoyable! Two Thumbs Up....xo..Thank you Sara! Maria and Greg.
Sara is amazing! First, our engagement photos were gorgeous. We had so many compliments! We were not going to do Save-the-Dates, but after seeing the photos, we felt compelled to share them with everyone. On the day of the wedding, Sara was super organized and calm. I appreciated her attention to detail and everything went super smoothly. And our photos are gorgeous! She and Dave captured many beautiful staged moments, but also did an amazing job of catching candids. Most importantly, Sara has a great personality. She is the right person to share your day with you and your family. We highly recommend her!
Awesome, creative, gentle! We absolutely loved SRS! Sara really captured some very special moments during our wedding. She quickly improvised when the rain started to pour and we couldn’t shoot where we planned. I highly recommend SRS photography!
Sara is an amazing photographer and somehow manages to capture moments you don’t even realize are happening. We used her for our engagement, wedding and maternity shoot. You will not be disappointed!!!
My wife and I worked with Sara for our wedding back in 2017. Prior to speaking with Sara over the phone, we looked at her portfolio of work online which was absolutely stunning. We then were fortunate enough to connect with Sara over the phone and she was great from the moment we met her through the cutting of our cake on our wedding day. Every step of the way she communicated very effectively and was very patient with our many requests when it came to specific photo shoots the day of the wedding. We recently received our wedding albums (some were gifts to family members) and we were all floored with how amazingly Sara captured such a special day. I highly recommend working with her and wouldn't have wanted anyone else to photograph our wedding day.
Sara did an amazing job with our wedding photos. Very talented. Really, really great pics and awesome photo album. Always professional and timely. We couldn't have found by a better photographer.
Sara and her team were the perfect photographers. She really took a lot of time to get to know me on the phone and via email and worked with us to accommodate our unique vision. I was so thrilled with how easy going and relaxed she was. I was drawn to her work because he candid style seem to capture all the aspect of a wedding and it felt true for our wedding. She gave us beautiful shots of the quiet moments and fun energetic party pictures. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
As I look through our wedding photos for the 19394884 time in the past 24 hours I am so thankful that we chose Sara as our wedding day photographer. She is amazingly talented, and so sweet and down to earth too, which makes it such a pleasure to work with her! My husband and I had such an amazing time with her during our engagement shoot and the pictures were beautiful ! Sara went above and beyond on our wedding day, and was so helpful even out of the scope of photography ! Looking through the photos I am able to relive our perfect day over and over. Sara was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her talent is incredible. Also have to add how much we loved the second photographer Sara brought along with her, Dave! The two of them are so sweet and fun! They were able to capture so many important moments yet blended into our day so seamlessly, not stealing my husband and I away from our guests for times on end. We had a perfect timeline of the day planned out/organized ahead of time and got all the formal photos we wanted, and the rest of the evening was fun fun fun and the natural candids they got are phenominal!! So many amazing photos showcasing all the happiness and love on our day. Sara truly knows what she is doing and is so organized, yet unobtrusive and let the day flow so naturally all while still getting all the perfect photos. Every time I look through our wedding photos I smile wider and wider. It truly was the best day of my life and Sara and Dave truly captured it. I will cherish these photos for a lifetime !! Hands down one of my favorite vendors we chose for our wedding (and we had some pretty awesome vendors!) !! Choose her as your photographer ASAP and you will not be disappointed !!! Not only are her photography skills exceptional, but she is a beautiful person inside and out ! Thank you sara !!!!
She is one special lady. I have epilepsy and she was the only one who was willing to not use flash photography. The pictures came out AMAZING! Love her, she is fantastic!
SRS Photography and Sara in particular captured our wedding in such a way that we’ll never be able to properly thank her enough. When we first met with Sara, I think my wife and I knew she was going to be our photographer before we ever sat down in the seats. Sara had an aura and oozes creativity. We left her office saying we were going to just let her do her thing. Our family engagement photographs proved why you let the pros do their what they do. Not only were the quality of the photos phenomenal; Sara captured the 6 of us as a family. She was able to find the moments that really showed the uniqueness of all of our kids and the realities and verities that makes us tick. The wedding was no different. Sara made everyone so incredibly comfortable and knocked it out of the park with both portrait and honest moments. We will forever cherish having Sara as a part of our wedding and hope that as we go through the years we can bring her back in to photograph our family through the years.
Sara and Team were a pleasure to work with! Sara is an absolute pro and had so many tips and tricks both for getting the best pictures along with wedding day tips that I didn't even think of. I am glad her and her team were part of my wedding day! The Pictures are beautiful and she truly capture the feeling of the day. I highly recommend SRS Photography. I can not wait to receive our Wedding Book :)
We feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with Sara (and her assistant, Dave) as our wedding photographer . From our very first interaction, Sara was both professional and approachable. She was terrific about communicating with us both before and after our wedding. We talked with her in person, through email, on the phone, and via Skype. The day of our wedding was a rainy mess. We had to create a new plan as to where we would take photographs. Sara and Dave were so positive. They really set us at ease. Despite the rain and our huge, hectic families, the photographs are so beautiful and fun. We especially love all of the candid photos they took during the reception. We will truly treasure these photos forever and are so grateful to Sara and Dave for all of their hard work and talent!
We could not be happier with our choice to have Sara as the photographer for our wedding. From a personal standpoint, she is down to earth, friendly, easy to talk to and get along with. She really took the time to get to know us and learn about our families. From a professional standpoint, she is in a league of her own – organized, flexible and thoughtful with the experience to really back it all up. Sara helped us outline the timeline for our photo session, which my husband and I really needed and appreciated. Everything went so smoothly thanks to her organization; she and her partner Dave were able to keep things on schedule and moving along while maintaining a kind and patient presence with us and our families. During the reception Sara was on top of things, demonstrating that she really listened to what was important to us, such as pulling us aside to capture the special shots with family and friends we had asked for. Best of all, she turned around the photos in a short amount of time, and they are AMAZING! Sara and Dave really have an eye for capturing the big events while finding the quiet moments as well. The photos are bright and clear and capture the day in the most beautiful way. Thank you for everything, Sara. We love you!
Sara and Dave photographed our wedding in September. in Manhattan. We just got the pictures back this week, and they are so beautiful and special, that I spent an hour looking at them while crying and laughing!!
For the months leading up to the wedding, Sara kept in touch and GREATLY helped us to plan a smart and relaxed timeline for the day to ensure that we could capture all of the photos that we wanted. We traveled to a few different spots in the city, and Sara and Dave did an amazing job coordinating and directing our large bridal party and family pictures, so that we were able to get in the most pictures in quickly!
Once at the reception, Sara and Dave were able to capture the energy and fun of the party, and seemingly blended right into the crowd. They caught so many beautiful moments between family and friends.
We truly appreciate and love the team and the photos!! Thanks again!!!
Sara and Dave photographed our wedding and it was perfect! They arrived on time, made sure to get all of the family and friends shots that we wanted and got a ton of dance floor shots without us even noticing they were there. The photos came out beautifully and we would highly recommend SRS photography!
Before I can even comment on the day of, I have to say that Sara helped us with some major decisions early on about the timeline that I had never even thought of! With her help we came up with a flexible but important timeline for the events of the day. Since we were having the ceremony and reception at the same location, breaking away for some photos was going to take some planning. Now, that being said, the ceremony started an hour late, then was ended before it was actually supposed to, my husband and I ended up walking out instead of taking pictures with family, then the whole next 2 hours of the schedule were done backwards, it was a little insane. I honestly have to say what kept me smiling and not caring was that Sara kept us rolling through it all, taking pictures but also getting us back on the timeline with all of the shots we wanted. Then when we got all the photos back and got to see how seamless and magical it all looked it was a reminder of what an amazing and beautiful day our Wedding Day was! If you already love the look and quality of Sara's portfolio and are just wondering if she'll be the right "person" - SHE IS!!!
As we approach our one year wedding anniversary, we continue to be so thrilled we found Sara to take our wedding photos. Not only did our photos come out beautifully – Sara is so kind and a wonderful person. She captured every important moment of our wedding – and even got us to take sunset photos on the beach after our vows! Throughout the whole day, we never noticed Sara or her team (in a good way). They never got in the way or forced any cheesy photos, which is something we did not want during our special day. Sara is not only a wedding photographer, she is an artist – and this shows through her photos. We keep getting compliments to this day about how beautiful and happy our photos are. Sara also introduced us to a videographer and they worked together wonderfully. Thank you, Sara and team, for capturing our special day!
There was one area of our wedding that my wife was unwilling to compromise on, and that was the photography. Everything else, food, flowers, music, those were temporary, but the photographs will hopefully outlast us and be enjoyed by our great grandchildren. For this reason, we are lucky to have met Sarah. From the get go, she was flexible and easy to work with, and made a point to make sure she knew what we wanted well in advance. The photographs were all excellent, and all of our guests were photographed. Engagement photographs were great as well. We are both completely satisfied, and will happily recommend Sarah and David for future weddings.
One specific point I would like to make, when my wife and I attended other weddings, we both were bothered when ceremonies were interrupted by the wedding photographer, or they were too intrusive throughout the party. We both told Sarah we did not want a photo shoot, but for her to document the wedding as it truly happened. We are fortunate Sarah knew exactly the perfect balance of not being intrusive while capturing every authentic aspect of the wedding. We were able to enjoy our special day and have great photographs for the future.
I couldn't have asked for a more personable and down to earth photographer. Saying Sara is talented is an understatement. She has a great eye for natural, candid moments. Every time I look at all of the pictures, I feel like it was just yesterday.
We could not have been more pleased with Sara Stadtmiller and SRS Photography for our wedding day photos. Right from the start, Sara was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and really professional. She listened to our situation and suggested a customized package for us, having a second photographer for only a portion of the day when it was needed. We appreciated that she didn't want us to overspend when we didn't need to. During our initial meeting, she took really good notes and documented our wishes for how our day should go and who we wanted in the photographs. This helped throughout the whole process and made the day of the wedding go very smoothly as she was prepared and organized. We really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel and we never had to stress about the photography for our wedding.
Best of all, the photographs are beautiful!!
Sara candidly captured the emotions of our special day and we never felt posed or unnatural. Her photos are very creative and we were really impressed with how she was able to handle the bright sunlight conditions of noon-time June wedding.
We highly recommend Sara and SRS photography!
Sara is AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about her :) When my husband and I first met with her it was such an easy process. She was so easy to talk to, and really understood what our vision was for our wedding. We had a long engagement and she was always keeping in touch with us throughout the process. We met in person with her once more before the actual wedding to go over logistics and specific photos we wanted taken. The day of the wedding went so smoothly thanks to Sara. We recently got our photos back and my husband and I were commenting that we didn't even know that she had taken half of the photos she took because she did such a good job of not being in our faces, but getting every single photo we wanted. Every person we shared the photos with said that there was not one bad photo, and I could not agree more! I can't even pick one favorite, they are all my favorite :) Sara is so easy to talk to, and very calm, which is necessary on your wedding day! She really knows what she is doing. I could go on for days about how great and professional Sara was!
We were SO lucky to have found Sara to shoot our wedding. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is truly an amazing person who was super easy and fun to work with. Choosing a photographer was the most important piece of planning our wedding. From the moment we met Sara, we knew we had found someone special! The entire day flowed so smoothly because of her. She was a huge help and I was so grateful for her that day! Every single little detail that was important to us on our special day was captured beautifully through her photos. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with SRS photography. Sara's work is simply amazing, and we are beyond pleased with our photos!!! Thank you, Sara, from the bottom of our hearts! Love, Amy & Sandy
My husband and I just got married in October 2016, and we couldn't be more grateful to have had Sara capture our day so perfectly! From the moment I met Sara, I knew that we would be in wonderfully talented hands!
Not only is Sara super fun and easy-going (it was so much fun to have Sara ride in the limo with the bridesmaids!!), she is completely organized and kept us right on track! We have had such a lovely time looking at all of the wonderful moments she caught on film. Now, the only problem is - how do we narrow down 800 amazing photos?!?! Many thanks, Sara!
I can offer no higher recommendation. Sarah and Dave were brilliant, responsive, intuitive, and above all very professional. Planning a wedding is very stressful: despite it being the brides day, there are so many decisions she has to make and balances to strike. Sarah was so very accommodating. understanding, and intuitive about planning and choosing the choice of pictures. Everything turned out beautifully composed and shot. Dave and Sarah worked great together too. Other than the obvious posed shots, we didn't even notice them working. They somehow managed to capture "classic/characteristic" gestures and stances of our family and guests. Dave visited me and my best man while we were getting ready and added some levity and kept things moving which kept the butterflies calm- especially pinning those boutonnieres to our lapels without drawing blood :)
As I said in my opening sentence, I could not recommend them any stronger. I would not hesitate in the least to book them for your wedding. Sit and talk with Sarah for 20 minutes and you'll see what I mean. Thank you Sarah and Dave for capturing the special moments of our special day.
Hiring Sara as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. Sara is super kind and laid back, but also a true professional and an unbelievably hard worker. From our engagement photo session, which ended up feeling like one of the best dates I had ever been on because she made us feel so comfortable, to our wedding day, which truly was the best day of my life, we could not have asked for a more talented or down-to-earth professional. Our wedding photos captured every sweet moment and then plenty of candid moments, which ended up being some of our favorite photos. The day goes by so quickly, so it's important to hire someone who knows how to capture moments big and small. We got married in the Chapel at Sandy Hook, and she brought an incredible team with her who kept us laughing and smiling all day and night. There is a gorgeous portrait of our family hanging in my mother-in-law's living room that is a testament to the quality of Sara's work, before, during and after our wedding. She is the best!
Sara Stadtmiller of SRS Photography is my go to photographer for all the important moments of my life both personally and professionally. She has shot my wedding, my pregnancy, the birth of my son and our first family photos. In addition she has been my photographer for my career as a yoga teacher. for almost 10 years. Her attention to detail and the ability to capture "just the right moment" are just some of the reasons I love her work. Sara as a person is dedicated to her craft and has many long standing clients which speaks to her talent and desire to make all of her clients happy and proud of the pictures she creates for them. She is top notch!!
Sara was AWESOME! with her warm and calm personality. Anticipation and excitement were running high and then Sara walked in. She put us all at ease and captured the true beauty and love of our wedding! She was more than amazing to work with!
We were so incredibly lucky to get SRS Photography to do our July wedding. Working with Sara was easy and stress free from the beginning. We spoke on the phone and met in person to figure exactly what we wanted for our big day... and wow did she deliver. With the help of Dave and Jen (also wonderful personalities), we got wedding photos that exceeded our expectations. The turn-around time was quick, and the quality is second to none. They captured our personalities and vision for the day perfectly. We have had so much fun going back to our pictures time and time again to relive the day. We could not be more thankful to Sara and her team for giving us these beautiful memories. We HIGHLY recommend SRS Photography. This will be the most stress-free and personal vendor you will find for your wedding day.
Sara is one of a kind! She took so much time guiding me through this mad, mad world of matrimony. Her patience and kindness made my day easier than I could have imagined. She was professional, yet made me feel like old friends. My husband and I felt so comfortable in her care. She is a true gem!
We found SRS Photography through our wedding venue and we are SO HAPPY we chose her as our photographer. The entire process from the initial meeting to establishing our day-of timeline weeks before the wedding was so effortless. We instantly knew we were in great hands and we could not be happier with how our photographs turned out. I look at them far more often than I care to admit and I am grateful to have these vivid and stunning memories of the day. Sara also did our engagement shoot and working with her was so much fun. I can't wait to order our albums and will cherish these photos forever. I can't recommend SRS Photography enough if you are looking for a fantastic wedding photographer!!
Sara and Dave made our wedding perfect! They were go professional and knew exactly what to do! They are amazing and do wonderful work. Use SRS photography!
I cannot even begin to express how wonderful Sara is. From the moment we met, it was clear that she would do everything possible to ensure our photos were picture perfect. Sara took the time to get to know us and to make us feel at ease. Her professionalism is beyond reproach. Sara made every effort to make the family and wedding photo session run smoothly and according to schedule. Her pictures of the ceremony and of the reception are exceptional.
Best of the Best!
Sara and Dave worked our July 2015 wedding at the Molly Pitcher Inn. My husband and I were looking through photographer websites and were drawn to Sara's style - her pictures did not seem overly posed, she had lots of really warm candid shots, she made use of beautiful outdoor settings and natural light. We met with her in Asbury Park and felt really comfortable with her right away. This proved very useful because we're not the most natural picture-takers, but Sara had fun with us, got us to loosen up, and captured beautiful formal shots as well as candids. She also did a great job capturing special shots we had asked for, such as group shots of family & friends who had traveled across the country and from overseas. Plus, she got lots of quiet moments - looking through the pictures, there are shots of people dancing who I didn't even realize had met at the wedding. These are really special memories, and I'm so grateful that we worked with her that day.
Sara was excellent, from start to finish. A true professional, such a rare find these days. Really felt at ease working with her to do the Engagement Photos and the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about logistics or coordinating details, it was almost as if Sara was shadowing us the entire day, without being aware of her presence. Would recommend her to anyone getting married, as she was easy to work with, flexible, and was fair on her pricing. We are in the process of doing the parent albums and can't wait to see how they come out!
As soon as I started planning my wedding I knew Sara would be perfect to hire as my photographer. She is an amazing photographer, and an amazing person!
Her questions and ideas through the planning process were extremely helpful.
She was organized and in control the whole day, always smiling and laughing! My husband and I, as well as our families, absolutely love the pictures from our awesome day! Thank you Sara!!!!
Sara of SRS Photography is not only talented and professional, but has a down to earth, calming presence - exactly what one needs on their wedding day when things can quickly get chaotic.
She expertly guided us through our first look photos, family and bridal party portraits - capturing the formal pictures our parents desired as well as more natural "in-the-moment" ones my husband and I wanted. She was able to effortlessly direct a large group of people of various ages and personalities and kept things moving so we stayed on schedule.
We have an abundance of beautiful shots of our ceremony as well as hysterical ones of everyone getting down on the dance floor. Sara has an amazing eye - capturing gorgeous photos with the sun shining through and hitting just the right spots as well as more intimate moments you're so happy to have a photo memory of!
One of the best things about Sara is that I never felt like I was on display or that I needed to pose for the camera - it was as if she was another guest at our wedding, enjoying the day and quietly taking phenomenal pictures we would cherish forever.
We absolutely love the end result and our friends and family can't stop gushing about how well the pictures came out. We owe it all to Sara and her expert eye and wonderful personality.
In addition to her amazing skills, she worked with us to create a package that suited our budget and it was worth every penny spent. We cannot recommend SRS Photography's services enough!
If you are looking for a truly different approach in capturing the essence of a moment in time.. Sara at SRS is the absolute best! She takes wedding photography to a premier level, with an imaginative, beautiful and expressive yet intimate style not usually seen by most wedding photogs. Sara really grasped the sentiment of our entire day in such an authentic way... she's a real visual storyteller and it comes across in all of her work. Over a year later and we are still constantly admiring all of the images from our wedding like it just happened! Thanks for giving us such beautiful memories SRS.

We were looking for a low key and approachable photographer. Not only was SRS easy, they had the artistic flair we hoped for. Both my fiancé and I are the shy type and knew it was a comfortable match from day one. Couldn't of imagined going with anyone else for that day.
My husband and I are so happy we chose Sara to photograph our wedding! After seeing her stunning work and meeting with her, we knew Sara was the perfect photographer for us. From the first meeting we had with her, to our wedding day, Sara was always personable and professional. Sara did a remarkable job of capturing all of the special moments throughout our wedding day. We were thrilled when we received a copy of our proofs in a beautiful box along with a USB drive with our photos. The quality of our print ready photos was amazing! I would definitely recommend Sara from SRS Photography as your wedding photographer.
If you have the opportunity to have Sara photograph your wedding, do not hesitate to book her! We found Sara through our venue (The Oyster Point Hotel). We met with a few photographers, but it was an easy decision for us to choose Sara. Not only are her pictures stunningly beautiful and different than traditional posed wedding photos, but Sara has such an easy going, friendly disposition! She was wonderful to work with and has such an eye for amazing shots! Sara was always professional, easy to get in touch with, and she had our photographs ready very quickly in a beautiful case for the USB drive. It is truly going to be a challenge to narrow down the photos for our album! Thank you Sara for your help in making our wedding day perfect! - Caren and Carl
Sara is simply 'the best'! She is just so easy to work with - from our initial conversations about the different photo packages and what worked for our budget, to coordinating the engagement photo shoot, to her phenomenal job at the wedding, we really loved every second of working with Sara. In fact, We truly think of her as a good friend who wanted the best for us - we could tell that she really cares about her work and her clients. I can't stress this point enough, but she made every step simple to navigate. She is organized and proactive. We worked with a long list of vendors for the wedding, but working with Sara was by far the easiest. I never had to worry about anything picture related - she is a true professional. She was so 'on point' with everything. And her photographic style is just stunning - she is one talented lady! She captured such intimate and candid moments without ever being intrusive - very natural. We didn't even know she was there most of the time. Sara managed the wedding party seamlessly. We were a large group, but she kept us on track, while ensuring to capture key photos. We are beyond happy with our photos and have so many to choose from - and this is certainly a good problem to have. You will not regret working with Sara. We would pick her a million times over!!!
I wish I had the right words to express how happy James and I are with Sara. From the moment we met Sara, to the engagement photo shoot, to receiving our pictures, we have been beyond thrilled. She has made us feel like the most special bride and groom - if there was one person looking out for us during our planning it was Sara! And of course - her photography is beautiful! I have had so many comments and many of my friends have been quite jealous that my pictures turned out the way they did. For me, this vendor was most important because these pictures are what remind you and your significant other of what an amazing day your wedding truly was. And Sara gave us that - I can't thank her enough. I could go on and on but I also know Sara's work speaks for itself!
Sara was so amazing! She an awesome job capturing our wedding even in the pouring rain! Our pictures turned out beautiful. She is super easy to work with and very organized. I will be recommending her to any one who asks.
My husband and I highly recommend Sara for wedding photography. She was wonderful to work with from our first contact; very professional, efficient, and all around awesome! She had so much information as a professional wedding photographer for many years that she helped us navigate a number of aspects of the wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, Sara was much more than a photographer; she was patient, supportive, and she helped to make sure things ran smoothly. We also could not be happier with the quality of her work. Sara and her second photographer, Dave captured some amazing moments. She is so great that she even made me (who is not overly photogenic) look fabulous. Our guests were so pleased with her work that my brother and his fiance are booking her for their wedding in October. Also many of our family members have asked to purchase photos taken of them for family portraits. Sara's the best!
As a fine art photographer, I was very selective in choosing a photographer to photograph our wedding. Certainly price was important to me, but I also did not want to sacrifice quality, after all, we couldn't re-photograph the event if it did not get photographed the way we wanted. After choosing Sara, we met with her to go over some "must have" photograph groupings, you know, the need to have photographs with family members. My wife and I were very laid back with the whole process, and of course forgot a few key groups only to remember them the night before the wedding. I shot Sara a text, letting her know I had a "couple" additions to the list of needed photographs, and then met with her.....the morning of! I don't recommend trying this as it really isn't fair to the professional photographing your event, however, Sara handled it all in stride, getting right to work making us look better than I think we both thought we did. I was particularly impressed with her ability to make us feel completely relaxed, which found us posing ourselves far better than anyone could have directed us....it seems that she is very good at getting you to look natural and relaxed in front of the camera which results in amazingly beautiful photographs that look natural, not posed and forced. Not once during the wedding did we feel that we had a camera pushed in our faces, or a camera interrupting a moment my wife and I were sharing, however, she managed to capture every moment. Sara is also an fine art photographer, which was important to me, as I wanted some creativity with our photographs, instead of the standard cookie cutter photographs. Again, we could not be happier with the results, and highly recommend her to anyone who wants their event captured in photographs.
My family and I loved having Sara photograph our wedding. From the engagement pictures to the Thank You cards, I've received so many compliments on her work. Sara was exactly what I was looking for in a wedding photographer: professional, easy to get along with, thorough, and talented. Our final products are natural, yet polished. I didn't want pictures that looked too staged, forced, or overly edited and was very pleased with the results. As a bonus, she was a calming presence to have around on the day of the wedding!
Sara at SRS Photography was extremely personable and easy to work with. Our pictures came out amazing, and it was easy to get any picture in any size/style that we wanted. She was very organized and had the pictures for us in a short amount of time. Overall, it made for a great experience and many great pictures to remember an extremely special time.
Working with Sara was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!! Sara was the photographer for my wedding day as well as my engagement photos and I plan to use her one day as a family photographer! She was professional, friendly, and always responsive. My pictures are incredible and I receive complements on them almost every day even 6 months after my wedding. Her pricing is fantastic and her payment structure made it easy for us.
On the "big day" Sara and her second shooter were amazing. They were on time, extremely helpful and also very respectful. Sara helped to keep the day moving and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. This is a big deal because you NEED this help when you have Bride Brain :) Sara had the perfect balance of helping me stay focused and getting the shots I wanted while also blending in and being unobtrusive.... which is how we have so many creative, candid, genuine and beautiful photos.
Stop your search and Call Sara!!
Sara instantly made me feel and my fiance feel comfortable, from our engagement photos to wedding day to meetings in between. Her relaxed style and efficient, professional manner were an amazing combination. Her work was beautiful and my friends and family raved about her! I would recommend her to anyone!
SRS photography service was very professional from the moment she was there to the very end... Sarah created my beautiful wedding through her photographs and every time I look at them it's just like walking through it all over again... Her personality is great she fit right in and all my guest loved her... She knows exactly what a bride wants in her photographs and she gives it to you..I recommend SRS photography for weddings and any other events you want documented because she is awesome!!!!
I was so glad that Sara was available to shoot our wedding. We have friends in common so I had admired her work before. She was absolutely amazing to work with. Through the planning sessions, the day of, and after, she was so relaxed and stress-free. We were both pretty uncomfortable about being in front of the camera all day, but she made us feel so relaxed and at ease, and the photos show it. She delivered exactly the style of photos we wanted, the obligatory formal shots, but lots of more relaxed, unposed moments that really show the joy we were feeling that day. When the formal sessions were over, I hardly even noticed she was there, but she managed to capture all the best moments. Everyone absolutely raved about the photos when they went up on the blog, which happened so much quicker than I expected. We had so many beautiful options to choose from. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Sara did a great job. Helped make our special day even more special with her creative and professional photos.
Sara was AMAZING to work with and her photos came out beautiful. Sara shot a mutual friend's wedding back in 2011, and upon seeing her wedding photos, we knew we had to have Sara for our wedding. The day of, there was a blizzard, driving conditions were terrible, and I was super stressed about a million things, as any bride is. Sara showed up a few minutes before the agreed upon time, and was a very calming presence as Sean and I got ready. She was very flexible, able to balance our parents' wishes for traditional photos and our preference for candid shots. She covered the entire day, was flexible with our timeline, and got some of the most amazing & perfect pictures I could ever imagine. She is also such a great person - consultations before and after the event were awesome too. You are missing out if you don't have Sara covering your day.
My husband and I are the LUCKIEST people ever for finding Sara Stradtmiller for our wedding. She was a recommended photographer by our venue (the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank, NJ), and was thankfully (I think by fate) available!
From the moment we began working with Sara, she was extremely flexible and accommodating. During our first meeting we mapped out what the wedding would be like, and she had so many great ideas for photography for the big day, while incorporating all ideas we had, as well. Sara was able to get a great feel for my style and personality, and when the day came she delivered the most amazing service.
The photos were absolutely exquisite. We choose to order all of our proofs (which came in the most beautiful customized memory box,), as well as an album which Sara created with the favorites of the day, in addition to the formal album. Sara caught every moment of the wedding, which is conveyed in every photo.
All our of guests have raved about how gorgeous all of the photos are. The photos captured everyones emotions amazingly, in some where we are laughing you can almost hear that laughs coming out of the photo. They left me speechless because they are more then what I could have wanted to even imagined.
Aside from being a wonderful wedding photographer, Sara has a true gift. Her photography is amazing artwork and inspiring. Every time we look at all of our photos we are able to relive that day and all of our favorite moments.
Our wedding was the best day of my life, with virtually zero stress and it was all smiles. Sara was a major part in making it such a perfect day. If you are having a wedding, or any event where you are looking for a professional photography, and are looking for someone who is professional, kind, funny, awesome, produces amazing work, AND has very affordable rate, then Sara is DEFINITELY the one.
Sara of SRS Photography is absolutely amazing! She was pleasant and super helpful throughout the entire planning process! The day of my wedding, it poured! Despite the dreary weather, my photos are phenomenal! I remember the day as very grey and colorless, but the photos are saturated with gorgeous color! She and her second camera, Dave, captured so many wonderful moments throughout the day with both arranged and candid photos! My wedding guests kept raving about how wonderful they were throughout the day, and they are now raving about the fabulous photos! I can't say enough about how amazing Sara and Dave are! I couldn't be more pleased with their work! The only down side is choosing the photos for the album! They are all so amazing I'm having an extremely difficult time narrowing them down!
If you're looking for a photographer to truly capture the essence of your big day, I highly recommend SRS Photography! You won't be disappointed!!!
Sara did a fabulous job capturing our wedding day!
From the time her team arrived at the Molly Pitcher she made me feel comfortable and excited for the day ahead. She made the whole process stress free, while managing to keep my whole family and wedding party relaxed to capture the best moment. She also knew all the ideal places/times to ensure the most beautiful pictures. All the pitchers came out fantastic and we are so excited to work with Sara again in the creation of our album!
Would highly recommend SRS Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who is fun to work and produces gorgeous images!
Sara from SRS Photography did a fabulous job documenting my wedding. Sara is so sweet and easy to work with. The entire bridal party had a blast taking photos. I'm not really comfortable in front of a camera, but Sara made me feel at easy. She is great at capturing those special candid moments and her photos are not the stuffy staged photos. I definitely recommend SRS Photography for your wedding photography needs!!!
