We had a wonderful experience with Whitewood Photography at our wedding. We are still waiting to see the full set of pictures but we have gotten many sneak previews and are so happy with them! We had a small wedding and were trying to keep things as affordable as possible - Sarah was more than willing to work with us and get our needs met, which was greatly appreciated. For the price, I’m sure we could not have found a better deal anywhere in San Antonio. Sarah was so kind, so flexible, and made everything really comfortable! Highly recommend her!
The first time my husband and I had to chose a photographer was for our wedding which was very intimidating. We decided on a few important aspects of our wedding and photography was one of them. When searching through wedding websites we can across Whitewood Photography. It just so happened that Sarah (Whitewood Photography) had already done weddings at our venue. We will never forget seeing the picture of our Venue and falling in love with it and knowing not only did we pick the best venue Whitewood Photography captured that for us! We loved the black and white photos she captured and we saw the artistic point of views of turning traditional wedding photos into something so special and beautiful. We gave her a call and from communicating through email, text, calls, and meetings it was the smoothest process which we definitely appreciated during that time. On our actual wedding day her energy and presence was calm and exciting and she flowed throughout the night capturing picture of our special day. We love every single picture!
Wow! I truly can’t explain how grateful we are for Sarah! My husband and I got to meet with her for happy hour (our favorite hour) to make sure we were the perfect fit. After chatting and viewing her portfolios, we knew we found the right photographer. Sarah captured the most important moments and the mundane but oh so fun to see moments. I HIGHLY recommend Whitewood Photography.
Whitewood is the best. Sarah and company were amazingly fantastic. There were two photographers (Sarah and a guy who did still shots - I can't recall his name) and both were really cool and easy to be around. The photographs were ready and back to us by the time we got home from our honeymoon... Wow. Some really beautiful stuff. We also had a lot of fun, which makes the whole experience a lot easier and natural. I would highly recommend Sarah and Whitewood Photography if you want some stunning pictures to remember your occasion.
PRO TIP FROM THE GROOM: Inquire about a boudoir shoot for the bride. It's worth it. Trust me ;)
Sarah was a wonderful photographer!! She captured our day beautifully! We highly recommend her! She showed up on time and showed us great spots to take pictures on the river walk that we didn’t even know about! We love our pictures. Thank you for making our day! :)
Choosing Whitewood Photography was the best decision I made! My husband and I are from the Texas Panhandle and had a small wedding on the River Walk. Choosing Sarah as our photographer completed our wedding. Our pictures were beyond beautiful and so affordable!
Whitewood Photography did a Really good job at our wedding! From doing my wife’s bridal photos, to our wedding day. Everything was great and we will MOST DEFINITELY be using them in the future for any professional photos. Great caring and humble people, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!
Whitewood Photography did an AMAZING job with my Bridal photos and our wedding photos. They captured the most beautiful pictures that I will be able to cherish for a lifetime. One 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!
Sarah is punctual, friendly, and captured our day so well. Her pricing is reasonable. The album and usb with the photos were quickly delivered before expected. We loved working with her and would use her again. If I have friends getting married, I will definitely be giving her info to them!!
Sarah did a fabulous job at our wedding! When we initially met her, she was so kind and helpful. She worked with us to make sure we got a second shooter and that it fit within our 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.
Sarah is amazing! I can't say enough positive things about her! I've personally referred her to all the brides-to-be I know. She does the style that we were looking for, which is beautiful 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.
Whitewood Photography provided my wife and I an amazing experience from beginning to end. The images were gorgeous and all the extra touches she provides are great! Sarah captivated 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.
Sarah at Whitewood Photography was AMAZING. We are incredibly pleased with out wedding photos and couldn't have chose a better photographer. She is a very approachable person and was super sweet to us and our families. She is San Antonio's most talented wedding photographer and I'm so glad we found her!
Sarah was one of the very first people we booked after my husband and I got engaged. Photography was at the top of our list when it came to choosing vendors for our wedding day. We 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!
There aren't enough wonderful things to say about our experience with Whitewood Photography! Sarah was attentive from the moment we began communicating and gave us confidence that 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.
Sarah was phenomenal to work with! She did our engagement photos and our wedding - and I highly recommend doing both with her. The engagement session allows for some time to get know 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. :)
I'm so late to write this review but Sarah & Whitewood Photography was one of the best decisions I made about the wedding, that & saying yes! She was amazing! She captured all the 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!
Wow, Sarah was such an amazing photographer for both our save the dates as well as our wedding day. She worked so much with us to make sure everything was perfect. She photographed 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!
My fiance and I ended up choosing another photographer, but I thought it important to give Sarah a positive review. She went above and beyond to assist my fiance and I after our first 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.
Beautiful pictures! You did a fantastic job at Isy and Robby's wedding! You caught some of the most amazing moments on film 💕
Sarah with Whitewood Photography is absolutely amazing at her work. She captured our engagement and wedding day pictures and blew us away with our photos. She will not disappoint, guaranteed!! Thank you so much again!!
When I sat down with my husband to make our list of must-haves v. nice-to-have in our wedding, we knew that working with the right photographer was top priority to us. We wanted our 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.
We are very happy with our photos from the wedding! The photographers were very nice and helpful. I'd definitely recommend Whitewood Photography.
As the MOH/sister of the bride; I was entitled with the job of keeping the bride from freaking out! The wedding was on 6/3/17, with two different sites for the reception and ceremony; 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!
My wife and I originally had a incredibly hard time with photographers- we hadn't had the best of luck and were feeling defeated as the wedding was getting closer. We stumbled upon 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!
Sarah was so helpful and amazing during the months leading up to our wedding! I can't say enough how great she is. She always answered my questions and concerns regarding the fine 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.
We got married on 5/20/2017 and we are so happy we hired Whitewood Photography! Sarah and her partner Josh were amazing. They caught all of the best moments and they seemed like they 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.
Whitewood photography did an outstanding job for our wedding. Our pictures turned out amazing. I would highly recommend using Sarah services for your photography needs. She will give you first class service.
Our son was married last month at a beautiful Mission Church in San Antonio and the photograpy was amazing! The interior of the church was captured with all its intricacies and magic. I would definitely recommend Whitewood..
Sarah from Whitewood Photography is a top-notch photographer. She is friendly, easy-going, and very professional. She and her assistant recently photographed my daughter's wedding and did a fantastic job, we couldn't be happier with the results... beautiful and unique shots that we will treasure forever!
My husband and I were married in San Antonio in March 2017. I am so glad we found Sarah to photograph our wedding! First, and foremost, the photographs turned out beautiful. She captured 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!
Whitewood photography was wonderful! They captured all the important moments as well as some lovely private and candid ones. They were a dream to work with - professional, friendly, 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.
Whitewood Photography was amazing! We never knew the photographers were even there, they were so discrete and out of the way. After viewing the photos it was "Wow how did they get these shots... we never saw them!" I highly recommend Whitewood Photography. They capture the moments you will treasure a lifetime.
Words can't express how phenomenal Sarah was!!! She always kept communication open via email or text. Her creativity and photos are beautiful !!! I will definitely be using her in 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 !!!!!!
Sarah is absolutely fantastic! From the first time we met, my husband and I fell in love! We loved how down to earth she is, and how she really got to know us on a personal level. 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!!
Sarah was such a wonderful part of our wedding celebration. Her images and professionalism were top notch, but the difference maker was her personality. She seamlessly integrated into 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.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED WHITEWOOD PHOTOGRAPHY!! I was a Maid of Honor and sister of the Bride. The photos came out STUNNING!! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for photos to be 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!!!!
Sarah, of Whitewood Photography did a phenomenal job capturing our special day. From day one of working with Sarah, she set out to make our experience as personalized and stress-free 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.
Ahh Sarah is amazing! She did our engagement photos as well as the wedding. She is so professional and sweet. The photos came out wonderful. I keep receiving messages from family and guests about how great they were. I will recommend her to anyone and hope to use her in the future.
Whitewood photography was absolutely amazing! Sarah caputured so many moments and we couldn't be happier with our photos. The entire process from beginning to end was organized, professional, and stress free. I would recommend her to anyone! Her work is truly amazing!
Sarah captured some truly beautiful moments of my sons wedding. All our family and friend pictures are absolutely fabulous! #HappilyEverKare&Brian
My girls wedding pictures came out amazing! Whitewood captured some truly amazing moments of Kare and Brian's special day. Glad I was a part of it!
Whitewood captured the most amazing and romantic moments of our ceremony and reception. Thank you Sarah for making this possible! - Brian McClellan 9.3.16 Sunset Station
Sarah did an amazing job capturing my daughter and son in laws wedding . All their pictures were beautiful ! #Brian&Kare9/3/16
Thank you Sarah for capturing the most candid and amazing moments of our wedding. You did amazing job!
Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She is so professional and organized. She guided me through the whole process before and during the wedding. Sarah went above and beyond and was such 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!
Like most men, I have always hated taking pictures. Whitewood photography has changed my outlook. Sarah Owens was very polite, professional, and very comfortable to work with. Not to mention the pictures were nothing but top notch.
Sarah was so great to work with. She's such a professional and captured our wedding beautifully. She's incredibly easy to work with and very organized. I would recommend her to anyone. Our pictures are gorgeous!!
My wife and I were happily married two weeks ago and could not be more pleased with Whitewood Photography. Sarah was absolutely professional from beginning to end; providing us all 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!
We initially chose CDP (Classic Developments Photography)/Whitewood Photography because we fell in love with the bright colors in Sarah's photographs. But it's actually that same feature 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.
Sarah was great to work with! She was always professional, flexible and kind. We were nervous about having our pictures taken, and a little worried about seeming awkward, but Sarah helped to put us at ease and we look great in all of our photos! We had her take our engagement photos, bridal portraits and wedding photos and we are happy with all of them! I like her style of photography--nothing looks too posed or unnatural. She was also very responsive to our questions and needs via email, text or phone. On the wedding day, she was organized and calm and worked well with our families. The second shooter we hired through Sarah was equally professional and great to work with. Overall, I would say that she is a talented photographer and business woman. I am very glad we chose her!
Being a same-sex couple in search of an engagement/wedding photographer has been a challenge and in some instances, discouraging. That is why; we were extremely excited to get in touch with Sarah and knew from our first phone conversation, she would be the right fit for us. She showed genuine excitement and support for our special occasion and was prepared to offer her services. After discussing package options, we agreed to have her do both our engagement pictures AND our wedding. I’ll tell you what, after seeing our engagement pictures; we are even more excited for our wedding pictures! We definitely had ideas in our head of what we wanted but Sarah really brought it all together. She took the time to scout some of the locations we selected to make sure the lighting was right, timing between locations and spots for pictures. This definitely made us feel valued as a client and affirmed our decision to choose Sarah as our photographer. We have shown our family and friends our pictures and nothing but ooo’s and aahh’s along with… “Who was your photographer?” So, for those of you looking for a photographer for your special day or occasion, look no further and call Sarah! You ROCK Sarah! Is March almost here?
Sarah is very professsional. Always responded when my husband and I had questions. There wasn't ever a delay. Always responded to text, email, and phone calls. She doesnt do any type of poses related to pinterest, even the simplest ones. Other than that she was great taking request of photos on the day of, if you can remember what poses you wanted that is. Overall she produced the photos in a USB within 3 1/2 weeks of the wedding date. Very beautiful photos!! we received about 250 photos with web uploads and print quality. Overall we are satisified with our choice with sarah. As a professional, communication, and photos received in a timely manner.
Brides when it comes to wedding vendors make sure you explain every detail and have it in writing/emails to avoid confusion with your vision and their own vision. (not in relation to sarah/cdp)
Sarah is one amazing photographer. She did a fantastic work on our engagement photos and wedding back on september. I also love her photojournalist style. She captures the emotions as it happens. Her pictures are so naturally beautiful. I personally dont like posing in front of the camera but she has a calm demeanor that makes you feel at ease with her.
The best money can buy!!!!
Highly recommend Classic Developments Photography - Sarah is a remarkable person and business woman. She takes quality photos and offers award winning service!
Sarah and her husband John did a wonderful job capturing the important moments without being intrusive. I never once noticed either of them during the ceremony. After it was over, they had a plan and moved through the wedding party photos quickly and efficiently. They were both friendly and professional and their photos turned out gorgeous.
My sister in law used Class Developments photography with great success! Sarah was extremely accommodating and flexible - she was able to meet us for a quaint out of town location on a holiday weekend for the wedding. She was very patient and detail-oriented, and was also very unobtrusive during the ceremony. The photos came back quickly and were of the highest quality. She definitely helped make this day extra special, and now we all have amazing photos to remember it by.
We had a situation where we lost our original photographer and needed someone else to come in semi-last minute. Enter Classic Developments Photography. A friend of my wife had recommended Sarah as she knew her personally. We liked the work she posted on her website & Facebook pages and emailed her for a quote. My wife and mother-in-law met with her and hired her that day. She and her husband, who was her back-up photographer, came out to our venue in Comfort and took turns photographing each of the wedding parties as we got ready. Her approach was photojournalistic, which we really liked - she captured the essence of the whole day as opposed to nothing but a bunch of posed pictures. At the same time, because it was our wedding, she honored requests if we wanted photos with certain people. After the wedding, Sarah invited my wife, mother-in-law, and me over to see the finished photos while sipping VERY good champagne. They even had really tasty treats. We will most likely use Classic Developments for future photography needs. Not only were our photos wonderful quality, but Sarah and her husband were both kind, professional, and timely. Highly recommend!
Sarah was wonderful from the moment I called her. She was attentive, communicated with me the entire time and through the process, professional and just someone you would want to work with on your big day. She made the guests feel so comfortable, working with all types of personalities. My photos came about beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
Sarah quite literally saved my day from a photography standpoint. My original photographer had to withdraw her contract, so we started the stress-inducing task of finding a new one. CDP came highly recommended from one of my bridesmaids who happened to know Sarah personally. Our wedding was Valentine's Day, so I was naturally nervous that any photographers might be booked, but thankfully Sarah was available. I hired her husband as a second photographer, and both were incredibly professional throughout the entire process. There were moments I was stressed or nervous because Sarah didn't know me and my previous photographer did, but Sarah reassured me more than once that everything would be okay. Our photos, which we received very quickly (3 weeks after the wedding!) are stunning. These are photos I will cherish forever. Thank you, CDP!
We loved working with Classic Developments. She even went the extra mile when thieves broke into our car and stole my purse while we were taking pictures. She gave me her sunglasses to keep glass shreds from flying into my eyes and a quick call to her husband helped me wipe and lock my iPhone.
My wife chose Classic Development for our engagement pictures. Sarah made the session easy and carefree, which I appreciated because my wife already had plenty to worry about that day. She did a good job, especially getting the photos of us when we were really being ourselves and not just posing for the camera.
I have used this photographer three times. Once for just my daughter, once for family photos, and once for my daughter and her cousins. She did a fantastic job and was extremely professional. She listened to exactly what we wanted. My daughter was 5 at the time of her private photo session. Sarah made the session into a pretend modeling session; but I must add that the photos were not cheesy. They captured my daughter perfectly. My daughter felt like a star and loved every second of her time with Sarah.
All of the finished products display a sense of fun and relaxation. Everyone was at ease and the photos prove it. I will definitely be using Classic Developments in the future.
I've known Sarah to be an excellent photographer for many years, and having seen her work on other engagements and weddings, she was the first person I thought of when choosing a photographer for my own engagement portraits. Even though we were both from out of town, it was very easy to coordinate our meeting in San Antonio. Sarah was very patient with our choice of venue, and despite the fact that it was dark with flashing lights, she ensured that the pictures came out perfectly. Our second venue was outside in the sunshine and heat, and Sarah was able to easily switch gears to make sure that those pictures came out beautifully as well. She made Garry and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, and was excellent about giving us suggestions for good portraits. Sarah was professional and punctual from the time I contacted her until our pictures arrived. Our pictures are some of the best ones we've ever had taken, as well as my favorites.
