Whitewood Photography

pher completed our wedding. Our pictures were beyond beautiful and so affordable!

n the future for any professional photos. Great caring and humble people, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!

of the best things I loved about them, is during the reception I didn’t even notice them hardly, they weren’t in the way at all and yet captured the most remarkable photos possible. I can’t expresss my gratitude enough for Whitewood Photography, they made me feel special and I love how natural their photos are. If you want someone who is compassionate and caring about what they do and how you are treated, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Whitewood Photography!

th her and would use her again. If I have friends getting married, I will definitely be giving her info to them!!

budget. Throughout the planning process she was very helpful with helping us figure out our timeline and giving us ideas for creative exits. Sarah was quick to respond to her emails and was always very friendly. On the day of the wedding, Sarah made the process smooth and effortless. I always feel awkward taking photos but with Sarah I was completely comfortable and when needed she did provide direction to make the photo perfect. Sarah captured a lot of candid moments (which is what we wanted) and all of our photos turned out beautiful! I could not have been happier with Sarah and how well the photos turned out. Sarah went above and beyond and I would hire her again for other photo sessions.

eautiful photojournalism while being knowledgeable about portraiture- you have to get the formal family shots while still getting the candid crying shots! She was on time all the time, worked with us on a timeline for the day-of (which was great because we didn't have a coordinator, and it was great to have one less thing to research and worry about), very friendly while very professional, and delivered great work! When we received our photos, I was over the moon! She captured those moments I didn't know happened and made everyone look superb. She truly has a talent for photography.

d our attention with her portfolio the day we met but we could have never imagined that she would so beautiful capture the little intricacies that made our wedding so special.

as super sweet to us and our families. She is San Antonio's most talented wedding photographer and I'm so glad we found her!

went out on our "search" and were aiming to find someone who would capture us as we are AND someone that we would be happy to share a memory with - as they would be there for some very personal moments, like putting on the dress or a first look. We absolutely found that with Sarah. First, she did a beautiful job with our engagement photos and an even more beautiful job with our wedding. Her expertise when it comes to capturing every moment is obviously conveyed in our gorgeous photos - but the funniest part is that when the wedding wrapped up, I looked at my husband and said "I wonder if there are even that many photos from today. I barely saw Sarah during the ceremony or at the reception." Well, there were tons of photos. That's because she's THAT GOOD. She was busy doing her job while our day unfolded - and she was mostly unnoticed. I don't know about you, but that meant a lot to me and is exactly what I hoped for during our wedding. I can't wait to display her gorgeous work in our home!

our wedding would be beautifully documented. She is incredibly pleasant to work with, and several family members and friends mentioned to us after the wedding how sweet they thought our photographer was. We recently received our photos (ahead of schedule!) and they perfectly captured the spirit of the day. Would work with her again in a heartbeat.

ow her and vice versa -- and she made both of us feel super comfortable. We didn't expect to have so much fun taking photos! She is also incredibly organized, thorough, easy-going and creative -- she even worked with me to stay within our budget, which was super important to us! Another great thing about Whitewood Photography is the promptness -- she had the engagement photos to me within a week and the wedding photos in three weeks. That's unheard of! At the wedding - she got great photos of every part of the evening, and you would never even know she was there! She was like a creative ninja! We are thrilled with the results. Now it's trying to decide which ones to print! Aye! Overall -- Sarah was a delight to work with and I believe she is hands down one of the best wedding photographers in San Antonio. I recommend her 100% to any bride looking for an incredible photographer! You will not be disappointed. :)

moments we wanted and kept order in our chaos! We have so many timeless memories that we will cherish for our lives! It was the best investment we could have made! Sarah was so friendly and knowledgeable throughout the wedding planning process and really helped us to piece our whole day together. She is experienced and has a very talented eye for capturing precious moments! I couldn't recommend more! 5 stars hands down! Mahalo nui loa Sarah!

all the group photos we wanted and throughout the night she photographed everything going on. I can’t express how awesome she is! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone needing a photographer for an event. Thank you so much Sarah!

irst photographer suddenly disappeared on us months before our wedding after being booked for a year in advance. She understood our trepidation of finding a new photographer five months before our wedding date and she really worked to create a package that would work for us despite her own bookings and limitations. She was incredibly prompt in getting back to us with information and positive statements to help reduce our concerns, despite being incredibly busy. She is truly a committed to helping you and providing you with a good service and not just a photographer looking to get a paycheck.

guaranteed!! Thank you so much again!!

r pictures to tell a story and capture each moment perfectly, especially because my in-laws would not be able to join us to celebrate our wedding. Our pictures would be the only way for them to experience this day. After researching many options we always came back to Sarah: there was something so serene and deliberately spontaneous about her pictures, and it was exactly how we wanted to remember our wedding. We're so glad to have worked with Sarah: she captured every detail in our ceremony and reception that we worked on for months to make sure it was gorgeous, but most importantly - how delighted and happy our guests were to be with us! Some of her shots had me thinking "how did she get that?!" because I never felt her hovering over us or even sensed that she was nearby. Sarah was probably the easiest to work with of my wedding vendors. Her experience shows: Sarah provided a detailed timeline of pre and post ceremony photos (with our input) that I was able to plug-in directly to my day-of run-of-show, she maximized our time for each session, took on the director role to help us find the right angles for posed photos, was incredibly agile with a large group of people and on all fronts very professional in the way she treated us. I appreciate that she was honest and worked within our budget. We were contemplating a second shooter for the ceremony which would have been an additional cost, and Sarah reassured us she could handle both our guests and us to get those real/candid shots of us all in the moment. And she did! We can't wait to work with Sarah again. I'm already thinking of anniversary photos...family pictures...everything special that we want to capture about our life.

ony; Sarah was very proficient and had a timeline made out for everything including travel time! There were several things going wrong the day of the wedding, but the photographer, Sarah, was on point! She was very professional and friendly! I know my sister was very relieved to know that she had a photographer that was going to be reliable. Throughout the wedding Sarah and the second photographer were able to capture moments without being to noticeable. After looking at the photos, and seeing how Sarah works, I would definitely recommend her to friends with upcoming engagements!

Whitewood Photography through the Knot, and I can't begin to say how happy we were with our choice in picking Sarah to do our wedding photos! She was so easy to talk to and a very down-to-earth person. Sarah is very talented and she documented our wedding with great detail. There was never a time where we felt confused or stressed with her. She answered all are questions and concerns and was very easy to contact via text, email, or phone call. We recently got our wedding photos back and absolutely love them! Our second photographer, Demetrius, was also great and very easy to work with the day of the wedding. We are very happy we chose Whitewood Photography!

details and made sure that I was informed about everything that would happen the day of. She did a fantastic job with our wedding photos as well as my bridals. I highly recommend Whitewood photography! Sarah is incredibly talented and it definitely shows through her work.

ey had a good time doing it. Sarah was always smiling and very helpful. She had great direction for us (who knows how to model for photos? I don't...). She also was very organized for the group photos so they were seamless. Overall I'd highly recommend Whitewood Photography to anyone looking for a photographer.

ive you first class service.

gic. I would definitely recommend Whitewood..

and did a fantastic job, we couldn't be happier with the results... beautiful and unique shots that we will treasure forever!

ptured so many special moments throughout the day of friends and family that we will treasure forever. If you are looking for a very natural, photojournalist style of photography for your wedding, this is your girl! She was professional, kind, very organized, anticipated our needs, and was on top of communication from the first time we contacted her through receiving the final photos. I highly recommend Whitewood Photography!

ly, reasonable. We are so pleased with how everything has come out - bridal portraits, engagement session, and wedding. They were willing to go with some of our weirder/unusual ideas, which ended up being some of our favorites. They were also great at communication without being overbearing. We look forward to hiring them again when our family starts to expand.

t these shots... we never saw them!" I highly recommend Whitewood Photography. They capture the moments you will treasure a lifetime.

the near future for family photos!!!! Would recommend for brides and those needing professional photos. And even during my busy big day she helped keep everything moving smoothly!!! Awesome !!!!!!

. Her work is truly amazing! We booked Sarah for our engagements, bridals, and day of wedding. With each session we received photos extremely fast! I loved how she let us be ourselves in each one of our photos, and really loved how she utilizes the natural light in her work as well! You can really see all of the hard work she puts into each photo! I highly recommend Whitewood Photography for anyone in search of a photographer. Truly AMAZING!!

nto all of our events. Her warm, charming, personable manner made her right at home with our guests. Her ability to endear herself with our family, friends, and guests allowed her to get amazing pictures, but not be in the way of fun or exciting moments. I could not recommend her more highly to anyone.

taken!! Was well organized and the pictures the day of went extremely smoothly. During the reception I didn't even notice them taking photos, THEY ARE THAT GOOD! The moments captured are PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL!! Well worth more than 5 stars!!!!

ree as possible. We wished to skew our pictures towards candids over posed formals, which Sarah was able to easily accommodate, bringing in a trusted second photographer for better coverage of our wedding and reception. Both photographs did an excellent job. Our Hill Country wedding was not without its hitches. We put an order in for blue skies at sunset, but received grey clouds and drizzle instead. Fortunately, our amazing photographer was not only able to capture wonderful shots in the afternoon overcast, but also made precision use of the 20 minutes of actual sunlight that broke through the clouds after our ceremony. As the evening progressed and our guests dispersed between the indoor dance floor and outdoor back porch and fire pit, Sarah and her partner unobtrusively captured so many great candid shots of the festivities. Our guests loved the photobooth that Sarah was able to arrange for us; although it was from a separate business, everything went through Sarah without us having to hassle with vetting yet another vendor. After our big day, all prints were delivered to us promptly, in high quality, on charming wooden USB sticks. The photo album that Sarah put together for us was exquisitely professional, immaculately curated with minimal input from us (by our request), and most importantly, captured the heart and soul of our special evening.

nd guests about how great they were. I will recommend her to anyone and hope to use her in the future.

ofessional, and stress free. I would recommend her to anyone! Her work is truly amazing!

h a pleasure to work with! Not to mention her absolutely gorgeous pictures! I had very high standards and a small budget and Sarah was so kind and worked with me. I will treasure those pictures forever! I would 100% recommend her to anyone not only for wedding pictures. She was AMAZING!

to mention the pictures were nothing but top notch.

one. Our pictures are gorgeous!!

l the needed information of the packages she offered, taking our beautiful engagement photos, keeping an open communication before our big day to make sure we were all on the same page. Having never been in front of the camera before, and not knowing what to expect, Sarah was able to make us feel really relaxed on the day of our wedding and was able to capture amazing pictures of the fun and natural feel of the party. Sarah absolutely captured the moments that will make memories of our big day! All of our guests have commented on how friendly she was and have all been very impressed with her photographs. We 100% without a doubt in our mind would recommend Whitewood Photography for any photographic needs, and will definitely be coming back for more. We couldn't have wished any more from Sarah! Thank you!

eature that came back to bite us in the end. We chose our venue because of the hilly, green picture-perfect scenery it had to offer. On our wedding, we got really lucky because we had the best weather anyone planning an outdoor ceremony could hope for -- sunny, cool with just a couple of small clouds to adorn the bright blue sky. Unfortunately, you can't make out any of that in the bulk of our photos. As my husband jokes, our ceremony pictures make it look like we got married in a white abyss. The background was a total whiteout. There's no sky, no hills, no buildings. The outdoor group photos weren't much different; they were all overexposed, making the bright red and orange buildings behind us look more like an etch. In a few pictures, you can't even make out my husband's entire face, and in a lot of others, you can't see the beaded work on my dress. We asked Sarah why the photos were over-the-top bright, and she said the position of the sun made it difficult to capture everything from a distance and she had to make a choice: focus on her subjects or the background. We could understand that. But for the group photos, she had the opportunity to position us in her favor yet never made the suggestion. We told Sarah how we felt about the photos. She said she couldn't do anything about the ceremony pictures but offered to re-edit the outdoor group ones. We finally got the USB containing our photos in the mail. While the re-edited group photos were a vast improvement, not all of them were actually retouched. We asked if she could redo the rest but she refused; she said doing so would not reflect her artistic style. When we asked if we could have a colored copy of one photo she edited in black and white, she refused to that, too, saying the color photograph didn't live up to her quality standards. The real punch in the gut came whenever our friends sent us their photos of our ceremony, and they managed to capture the background and us without having to make a compromise. Writing this review isn't easy because we like Sarah as a person, a lot actually. She's really nice. She replies to emails promptly and always showed up on time. And her indoor photographs were good, some really great. But overall, we were disappointed with how she captured the most important moments of our wedding, our venue's beauty and later, her decision to prioritize her stylistic preferences above our satisfaction.
