About this vendor
We're Sarah and Darren - good to meet you! We are CA transplants originally from Scotland and we're been in the wedding photography game for a while (almost 15 years to be exact!). We are not your typical cookie cutter wedding photographers, that is for certain! We go against the usual grain, and that’s exactly how we like it to roll. Normal is boring. Well, for us, at least.
Our style is pretty non-traditional and rather offbeat, and our approach to shooting is simple; we’ll keep it mostly documentary (you can’t beat a good caught-off-guard expression), capture the action as it unfolds throughout the day, avoid cheesy clichés, and let everyone have good ol’ knees up without much interference from us. There will of course be slight direction here and there, but if you don’t dig throwing each other around and piggy back rides and all that mushy jazz, that won’t be on the menu.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photography experience for our wedding. The Hendrys are that perfect blend of insanely talented and genuinely lovely to work with. From th...
e very first communication to the final gallery delivery, they were organized, responsive, and totally in sync with our planner and vendors. On the day itself, they made everything feel effortless—and actually fun! We were laughing, relaxed, and totally ourselves with them behind the camera.
Their local expertise around Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley was such a bonus—they knew all the best spots and how to make them shine. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we’re beyond happy with how everything turned out.
Seriously, if you’re getting married—anywhere—book them. You will not regret it.
The Hendrys are freaking fantastic! Truly, you won’t find anyone else like them. They photograph with style, make communication so easy, and deliver photos quickly. Even better, th...
ey’re easy-going and super kind. We really enjoyed our time with them, not only as vendors but as people.
After the wedding, they delivered many more photos than promised, all of which were beautifully shot and edited. The compositions and color palettes were gorgeous, and the late-night photos had amazing movement. They 100% captured the energy in the room! The Hendrys absolutely blew us away. If you’re thinking about booking them, run don’t walk!
Asking The Hendrys to photograph our wedding was one of the easiest decisions we made during the planning process and also one of the best. They are incredible and did such a great...
job capturing our vibe and the feeling of the day. They are also the nicest people ever and instantly made us and everyone in our wedding party feel at home in front of the camera! Pro tip, we asked them to take our engagement photos so we could all get to know each other before the big day, and I strongly recommend others follow suit. The price was very reasonable and the photos are INCREDIBLE. My only regret is that we don't have another major life event in the near future so we can hang with them again/star in more of their amazing work!
Amazing! I really wish they planned events because I would hire them for everything. Sarah + Darren were the kindest, most responsive, helpful, and patient vendors we hired for our...
wedding. Darren even helped move our ceremony arch! Totally not his job but we really appreciated the help! My husband and I hate taking pictures and we felt so comfortable on our wedding day. We really didn’t want cheesy traditional wedding photography so when we stumbled upon their instagram page we knew we had to hire them. Major plus that they love Harry Potter, Stranger Things, and spooky stuff! They’re the coolest humans. Hire them. You won’t regret it.
My wife and I booked Darren and Sarah for our Elopement in Big Sur. From the moment we found their website, we knew they were it. Once they showed up we clicked instantly. My wife...
and I were both able to be ourselves the entire day and that's a huge testament to how well Darren and Sarah helped capture our day.
They helped with recommendations beforehand and then let us help direct how we wanted the day shot.
Overall, we are OVER THE MOON about how our day went and cannot wait to see that pink sunset cliff shots of my beautiful bride and I in Garapata state park. I 100% recommend Darren and Sarah if you are looking for something outside the box and feel like the traditional wedding photos aren't your style. We felt the Hendry's flair and creativeness the entire day and thrived off of it.
If we could give The Hendrys more than five stars we would. We were beyond thrilled with the work they did on our Yosemite elopement. Planning a wedding during Covid was a struggle...
and very stressful. Even on the other side of the country The Hendrys supported us in putting together our perfect day. They were responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. I had a million questions and they got back to me quickly, detailed and thoughtfully every time. They were there for us through it all and even helped us find vendors outside of photo. When the weekend came they were prepared even as we navigated last minute changes to the schedule. They we kind and fun to work with, and you could really sense the care and pride they took in their job and their process. They were fun and light hearted, yet also extremely professional and skilled. We felt like we could relax and trust they were capturing our precious moments. I did not worry all day, my husband and I just got to have fun and be present. The climbed a mountain with us and back down in the dark to get us to the most amazing ceremony spot!!! Sarah held our jackets while taking photos during our hike. We laughed and had so much fun the entire time even though we just met. When we got the photos back we were STUNNED. They captured emotion so flawlessly. It was important to me that pictures were candid, emotional, high quality and artistic. I did not want posed or unoriginal photos I've seen 100x before. They delivered on every front. The most consistent feedback we got from our family and friends was 1) that these were some of the best wedding photos they'd ever seen 2) they felt they could sense the love and connection we shared through the photos and 3) that they were stunning, breath taking and seriously beautiful. This meant a lot to use considering our family and friends were not able to be there due to Covid. These photos allowed our loved ones to experience our wedding in such a lovely way. From initial email to final product The Hendrys nailed it. We would choose them over and over again. THANK YOU SO MUCH D + S, you'll be a special part of our wedding and hearts forever!!!
WOW, what can I say about this superstar duo that hasn't been said already? There's a reason why they have a slew of 5 star reviews! Sarah and Darren have an incredible eye and a...
re able to capture such a MOOD - and they are so kind-hearted and easy to work with. The pair is approachable (which is so important because you want to feel comfortable in front of a camera!), and they have a quick response time. You won't be disappointed with their photographs - just check out their Instagram. THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY!
Darren and Sarah of the Hendrys did a beautiful job capturing our big day. I had found them doing a tiresome search on the internet and was so relieved when I came across their hau...
ntingly romantic portfolio. They stood out with their non-traditional approach, play of light, and endless devotion to symmetry. As a fellow artist I knew I could trust their vision for the day and focus on living in the moment. We felt relaxed and comfortable with Darren and Sarah and are beyond happy with the end results.
I can’t recommend them enough. Talent artists and amazing people to boot!
Sarah and Darren photographed our wedding in June, and my husband and I couldn't have been happier. They were wonderful during the planning process and worked around our requests w...
ithout any issues and then, on the day of, were total professionals even during a somewhat hectic morning before the ceremony.
We got the most wonderful candid photos of our guests, in addition to really great portrait photos of my husband and me, and they didn't keep us from our reception for any significant length of time, which I really appreciated.
And, to top it off, we got all of our photos less than a week after our wedding. Overall, I would 100 percent recommend booking The Hendrys!
I found The Hendrys through painstaking Instagram research, through the pages of two other photographers I admire. We reached out to Sarah and Darren with our budget and our story,...
and were thrilled when they agreed to work with us. They are lovely individuals, though we interacted with them very little because they seemed to disappear into the crowds of our loved ones while capturing our day. We received our photos just a week later and are beyond thrilled with what was captured; their style truly allows you to relive your day again and again, including the things you didn't have time to be part of the day of. S+D have a keen eye for human emotion and precious moments, it is obvious in all of their work and that includes ours! We get nothing but compliments on how beautiful our photos are and how remarkable the story they tell is. "Thank you" could never be enough!! We would choose them again and again with no hesitation.
We stumbled upon The Hendrys webpage and thought their work was beautiful. We wanted something a little different - wedding photographers who had more natural, documentary style. ...
The moment they arrived we knew we’d made a good choice. They were kind and communicative. And they managed to cover the whole ceremony and party without being at all obtrusive.
When we got the photos back we were thrilled. The portraits were beautiful, earthy and organic looking - it looked more like a fashion spread than a cheesy wedding shoot. The party coverage was excellent too, they didn’t miss a shot and even found some great details we hadn’t even noticed the night-of.
If you like their work you should absolutely hire them. You won’t be disappointed.
