Works by Sarah Jane Photography

a better job. She helped us so so much with the timeline of the day, what to do, what NOT to do--literally everything! Our photos turned out beautiful and magical and everything we were hoping for. Friends and family who have seen her work were also blown away. Just an amazing experience all around <3

ding up to the day, Sarah Jane was very good about periodically checking in on us and helping us plan our ceremony day timeline. The day of our ceremony was a rainy one, and Sarah Jane came prepared with photo-ready clear umbrellas for both us and our 12 guests. She made the day a breeze as she helped to wrangle family members into places, all while capturing the moments of the day. I am in love with the photos she took and have had several comments from family and friends that they look a cover from a movie. I highly recommend hiring Sarah Jane to capture your love story photography desires!

and we trusted her right off the bat. We are two camera-shy people, but her direction made the time together feel joyful, playful, spontaneous, and above all, special. She also did an amazing job of helping us keep to our schedule to get from one location to the next and coordinating logistics like where to find parking in busy places. We didn’t have to wait long for our photos, and most of all, our photos are magical and we love them so so so much! Thank you, Sarah Jane!!

the wedding, she went far beyond just taking photos, she helped guide the flow, kept everything feeling calm and natural, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. We never felt rushed or overly posed; everything felt effortless and truly us. And the results? Absolutely incredible. Every photo tells a story. She captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt the emotions, the energy, and the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the entire day. And as if that wasn’t enough, she surprised us with the sweetest package. It was such a thoughtful, personal touch that just shows how much she truly cares about her couples. We are beyond grateful and cannot recommend her enough 🤍✨ Luiza & Matt

pecially for someone like me who went back and forth and couldn’t quite figure out what I wanted. She was patient, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond. She even helped us find someone to watch our dog during our elopement. Sarah Jane made the entire experience feel easy, fun, and special, and we couldn’t recommend her more.  And of course the photos are beautiful and breathtaking! We would hike up steep mountains with her any day! 

rmine a comfortable timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding, she was so prepared and stepped in wherever needed. She had toys for our dogs, clear umbrellas for us when it started to rain before our ceremony, and even helped us add much-needed florals to our cake to make it perfect for our cake cutting photos. And the photos themselves! Neither my husband or I are naturals in front of them camera, but Sarah Jane made us feel so comfortable. The photos are gorgeous, and she captured such fun candids of our guests. AND we got our full album back less than a month after our wedding. We cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend Sarah Jane! The absolute best!

all logistics were beyond helpful. She was integral in helping plan and coordinate our day in addition to providing amazing photos as our photographer. We could not have asked for a better photographer. The photos turned out better than we could’ve imagined. She is the perfect mix of professionalism and fun! To top it all off, she’s equipped with bandaids for the inevitable blisters after hiking in heels :) Thank you Sarah Jane for being simply the best!

past July and had the most magical experience- thanks to her! Not only did she take the most breathtaking photos (and she even photoshopped our cat hidden into one of our photos at our request. SO cute!), she truly felt like a bonus guest/mom friend /built in bestie/ wedding expert extraordinaire! From her in depth knowledge of the parks, posing tips, extra snacks (just in case), incredible props, and the lighthearted nature she brings, she helped us have the best stress free elopement day. I loved getting to know her through the planning process, and adored how much time, passion, and care you could see she puts into each one of her projects. You can tell how much love dedication she has for her craft! You need The Works by Sarah Jane Photography in your life!

nstantly put us at ease with her authenticity, goofiness, and incredible energy. Instead of feeling posed or stiff, we were able to relax and just enjoy the moments, which is exactly what we wanted for both our engagement and wedding photos. Sarah Jane is not only an amazing photographer, she’s a wonderful human. She was genuine and thoughtful in all her communication, and she was incredibly quick to respond—I never once had to follow up with her, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even helped us beyond photography—when we were struggling to find a coordinator, she shared thoughtful recommendations, one of whom we ended up hiring. That kind of care and support meant the world to us. We’ve already received our sneak peek photos, and we are absolutely in love. They are beautiful, heartfelt, and capture the joy of our day perfectly. We’re so grateful we found Sarah Jane and can’t imagine our wedding without her. We can’t recommend her enough, and we know exactly who to call for future life milestone photography.

for whoever we use next. She is an amazing photographer and an even better human being. We hired her for our engagement shoot and wedding and, my god, the photos are to die for. I know we needed someone that could bring my now husband out of his shell and the number of photos that have him naturally LOLing is amazing. She was wonderful with our pup, Cooper, and has the most energetic and positive personality that will just have you beaming in your shoot. And, when needed, she can bring the hammer and get everyone in line. Her weird matched our weird, which is hard to do. We cannot recommend Sarah Jane enough! Also she gifted us the sweetest gift after our wedding was over... what?!? We love her.

For our engagement session, she found ways to make us comfortable so our pictures came out candid and natural. She always brings different props and tools to try new shots, but will ensure all of the classic poses are covered. For our wedding, Sarah Jane arrived early to the venue to scope out different backdrops. She immediately checked on me (the bride) to ensure I had what I needed. Our venue did not have AC in part of the building and Sarah Jane immediately gave me a portable fan to cool down, and checked on me throughout the evening. We got our sneak peek photos back within 48 hours of our wedding and WOW are they stunning. Sarah Jane is a pro at capturing warmth, and I know we will be looking back at these photos for decades. You cannot go wrong with Sarah Jane as your photographer, she is the complete package and will make you feel like her number one client throughout the entire process!!!

ally accepted. She was the most hype-girl photographer we could have ever asked for! Even though I was sick during our travels, Sarah Jane made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride! She was super excited to join us overseas, and into to the adventure of finding a beautiful place to stay. Our elopement was in the Nordic winter, but she gave us confidence that regardless of what the weather brought we were going to have a beautiful wedding. We lucked out and caught a full day of golden hour sunshine and took full advantage of the fjords, mossy grounds, and "paid" seagulls flying behind our ceremony! Her perpetual optimism and love for love only enhanced what was our perfect day. Norway was epic, but Sarah Jane made it even more so!!

and love. Sarah Jane is talented beyond belief and a true master of her craft. I feel so grateful that we were able to work together and have her capture our wedding day. She was flexible, patient, and so easy to work with. Thank you, Sarah Jane we love you!

s so charismatic and genuine...the perfect person to highlight such a special day. She kept us on track the ENTIRE day and captured the most beautiful photos. Trusting someone to capture such candid and love filled moments can seem intimidating, but Sarah Jane is truly a master of her craft. Our wedding album is full of emotion and takes our whole family back to that amazing day! We are so happy to have worked with Works by Sarah Jane Photography!!

I are a little camera shy and wanted a session with a photographer who didn't just pose us, but also made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured us naturally. Sarah Jane did just that - she played music and made us laugh the entire time we had our session, which made us relax and enjoy ourselves for the full two hour session. This was also reflected in the photos - no one would ever have known we are camera shy people from the photos! Sarah Jane does great work, and got us a sneak peek and full gallery in half the time that she had promised. You won't regret booking her for any session! We plan to book her again for our ceremony and reception.

and was just an overall joy to work with. She has a wonderful ability to make you feel at ease and her photos are beyond stunning. If you’ve found your way to her site BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY. You will not regret it.

erent locations, she agreed with enthusiasm. She helped us throughout the planning process - no question was too big or too small. She showed up prepared for all the things we didn't anticipate. Her calming demeanor put us at ease and her silliness kept us laughing. And, THE PHOTOS! Omg, truly stunning - Sarah Jane made our vision come to life and captured moments that we are so grateful to be able to look back on and smile.

ills are out of this world. When we got our full gallery the tears were flowing. If I could shout from the rooftops how much I love my photos I would. I 1000000% recommend her :) thank you Sarah for making our dreams come true.

fit right in with your family. We got our first look (100 photos) 24 hours after our wedding which was such a surprise and a real treat. I would highly, highly recommend her!

she had the experience to bring out all the skin hues without making folks disappear in the dark or appear like ghosts 2) she balanced the must-have portraits with candid pics that help us relive our wedding weekend 3) her prep list really made us think of what was important to us and informed our schedule 4) she's a JOY to be around. My husband and I enjoyed working with her and multiple guests remarked on her playful yet firm way of getting the shot. Easily one of the best decisions we made. Just hire her already!!

Sarah Jane during our engagement shoot and wedding day. One of the biggest concerns we had when looking for a photographer is if we would be able to feel like ourselves in front of the camera. Let me tell you something, Sarah Jane is there for you! She’s so good at making you feel comfortable and confident and we never felt in any moment any sort of awkwardness or discomfort. It was honestly just pure joy and fun when shooting with her. I recommend her a thousand times over. She’s talented, responsible, and has a contagious personality that leaves you feeling awesome at the end of your shoot. We have so many friends and family that continue to compliment how beautiful and natural our photos turned out. We cannot recommend her enough! Book her before she’s booked out next year because she is that good!!

for a wedding photographer! From the first planning meeting, to the coordination details leading up to the day, and then the actual wedding day itself and all of her amazing work during it - Sarah Jane was the absolute consummate professional. She has the rare knack for making you feel perfectly at ease, like she is an old friend, yet still wow you with her photography skill that reminds you that she is at the top of her craft. When we got our final wedding photos album back from her, the memories came rushing back all over again, and her ability to capture the candid, in-the-moment emotions of the day was utter perfection. If you are looking for the best photographer in the PNW who will deliver the most beautiful photojournalism art of your wedding day, you MUST go with Sarah Jane. She is simply the best!

top asking who our photographer was and commenting on how gorgeous the photos turned out. This chick is an absolute rockstar. She will quite literally put on snowshoes, climb a mountain, and roll around in the snow, just to get the perfect shot. On top of being a phenomenal photographer, she was also great at managing two opposite personalities. Sara was somehow able to match my wife’s level of excitement while also making me feel comfortable the whole time. Sarah Jane is a photographer, a PNW elopement wedding planner, and the best hype woman you could ask for. We can’t say enough good things or recommend Sarah Jane highly enough to do her proper justice.

someone with whom we could be ourselves, be at ease as our loving and goofy selves. We struck gold on both accounts with Sarah Jane. So many amazing candids full of beauty, emotion, humor and love. In part, because she made us feel crazy comfortable. Her presence encouraged us to embrace the moments. Ours was a candlelit February wedding and as a bonus, Sarah Jane exquisitely captured the magical, moody and romantic vibe of our ceremony and reception. Sarah Jane is exceptionally personable, kind and fun, all the while absolutely professional. Her calm, "whatever I can do to help" approach throughout the planning process and wedding day festivities was a tremendous gift. She wants to know what's most important to you as a couple, but she also wants to know you. Finally, although she is very experienced with our venue, she went above and beyond with her preparation, coming the evening before to fully gauge the winter lighting and other variables, leaving nothing to chance. We are abundantly grateful that Sarah Jane shared and captured our day, giving us a wealth of forever memories to keep!

in the most beautiful photos! I can’t stop looking at them and remembering the day! Sarah was so helpful with everything – she even created a timeline for the day to keep everything on track. If you’re looking for gorgeous, authentic photos, book Sarah immediately.

otos came back, I knew I had to have her for my wedding too! My husband and I recently got our entire gallery back from our wedding on 9/30 and we could not be more in love with every single photo she took! Sarah Jane captures moments throughout the day that feel warm, natural, and when looking through the photos, it feels like you are reliving the day over again. She not only went above and beyond with taking thousands of photos, but also helped my mom bustle my dress, helped make sure we were on schedule throughout the wedding, and frequently checked in with us to make sure we were doing okay! She is professional, timely, organized, and a wonderful person to be around! Highly recommend her to be your wedding photographer!

that we'd scored an awesome photographer. What we didn't realize was that, in the process, we'd also brought on a trail guide, sunset expert, skilled people-wrangler, creative director, etc. She put us at ease early on with her generosity (and obvious desire to exceed expectation... like *seriously* exceed them), and made our shoots as dreamy as we hoped they'd be. Sarah is a multihyphenate dreamworker, and we will credit some of our best memories to working with her! Hire her and it'll be the best wedding-planning decision you'll make!

rest and darker areas, but she made it look so bright and highlighted all the best areas in each photo, from the people to the nature around us. Beyond just the photos she was able to capture, Sarah Jane is wonderful to work with. She helped us figure out our timeline, was always prompt with responding to any questions we had, and was very flexible and patient on the day of when our hair and makeup team was running late. Sarah Jane is also incredibly funny and made us feel comfortable with different poses, even with zero previous experience in front of a camera. Lastly, Sarah Jane goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She helped bustle my wedding dress and had all the extra resources on hand for the day of (like Liquid IV) to ensure we were comfortable and everything went smoothly. I can’t recommend Sarah Jane enough! Anyone would be so lucky to have her capture their special day! Love, Lin & Connor

as great at communicating with us leading up to our wedding and gave up so much of her time to talk with us about our vision for the wedding, plans for our engagement session, our timeline, and so many other details. She also made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I are both awkward and don't take great pictures so I was very nervous for our wedding/engagement photos but from the second we started working with Sarah Jane, we felt calm and relaxed. She was able to capture us so naturally! Sarah Jane was also extremely helpful on the day of our wedding . She offered to bring the bouquets from the reception venue to our ceremony, she kept our timeline moving along perfectly, and she handled some stressful situations very well. On top of all of that, she is incredibly sweet, friendly, and fun to be around! We absolutely love all of our photos and they are the perfect mix of cute candids, portraits, and shots of the most important moments from our day. We could not recommend Sarah Jane more strongly!

real and her turnaround time to get engagement photos, first look, and the full album back fully edited was way faster than we thought. Highly recommend her to whoever will listen!

the day that were important to us for her to capture and she delivered!! I can't stop going through all the photos from our day, it is allowing me to relive it over and over! Not to mention, she is so professional and being around her makes it feel like you have your own personal hype girl for the whole day! We had so much fun with Sarah! She is the best, look no further!

t phased by the rain and helped me come to terms with it haha. She had such fun ideas while we were doing bridal portraits, like getting in a canoe or on a Vespa! She was efficient and we had plenty of time before the ceremony to relax with our loved ones. She made sure we got photos with my 6 month old niece who was only awake for a very small window! She was patient while we herded our big extended families together for Christmas card photos lol. And she helped fix my bustle when my darling husband ripped one out after like 2 minutes of dancing. We adore how she captured not just us, but the natural beauty of the day as well! The handful of prints she sent with the full gallery are now hanging proudly in my classroom for all my students to enjoy. She also sent a key chain with our wedding date in roman numerals, to match the decor I purchased for the wedding, which is just so so thoughtful! I'm not sure if she's even aware, but I have a key chain from my husband and I's very first date, and now I have one to commemorate our wedding day as well! My heart is full! <3 Thank you Sarah Jane!!!!

edication to getting to know us personally and her meticulous approach to planning our engagement and wedding photoshoots left us feeling incredibly reassured. Throughout the entire process, Sara's attention to detail and commitment to capturing our special moments shone brightly. She assisted us in meticulously crafting a comprehensive plan for both our engagement and wedding sessions, ensuring every aspect of our vision was carefully considered. Our engagement photoshoot was a memorable experience in itself. Sara's warm and professional demeanor instantly put us at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere that allowed our genuine emotions to shine through in the photographs. As for our wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a more skilled and dedicated photographer. Sara's ability to seamlessly blend into the festivities while capturing every heartfelt moment was truly remarkable. Her keen eye for the perfect shot, coupled with her talent for capturing the most candid and natural expressions, resulted in a collection of photos that exceeded our wildest expectations. The final product, our photographs, were nothing short of breathtaking. Each image was a testament to Sara's artistry and commitment to her craft. The way she captured the essence of our love story left us in awe, and we will forever cherish these beautiful memories she has provided us. In conclusion, working with Sara was an absolute blessing, and we couldn't have asked for a better photography experience for our engagement and wedding. Her dedication, professionalism, and incredible talent are truly commendable. We wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone seeking not just a photographer but a genuine artist who can encapsulate the essence of their special moments in timeless photographs.

great job. She communicated well with us during the whole process. Highly recommend.

is an incredible wedding photographer. Those aren’t the same. You can be great at taking photos without being great at capturing moments. Weddings are wonderful, joyous occasions. But they’re also stressful and sometimes awkward. There are the family members you don’t quite get along with and a thousand other hiccups that you worry will ruin the day. Having a photographer that can capture the joy while soothing the stress was a godsend. From the moment we met Sarah Jane, we knew we were in good hands. Personally, we hadn't been to many weddings for other people, so we weren't sure what to expect from photographers or weddings, for that matter. Sarah Jane took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in our wedding photos. Sarah Jane was brilliant—she provided clear lines of communication and met with us on Zoom several times before the big day. She helped us establish a day-of wedding timeline, a shot list for our most important family group photos, and a set of important details we wanted to have photographed. On the day of our wedding, Sarah Jane was an absolute delight and a calming presence. She arrived early and was ready to go. She was organized and detail-oriented, following the timeline of events that she had helped us create, and she came prepared with everything she needed, including a pen for us to sign our wedding documents. Plus, she was able to work with all personality types and bring out their best. Sarah Jane has a knack for putting people at ease even when they’re feeling a little nervous or stressed. She helped us set down any nagging worries and focus on what we loved about each other. She drew out silliness and giggles and love, and then she captured it. Looking back at our photos, it feels like we are transported back to our wedding day. Sarah Jane has a gift for capturing those little moments that can make a wedding so special—from the way my partner and I looked at each other during our first look and during the first dance, to the hugs and smiles during our ceremony, and the laughter during the reception toasts. Sarah Jane truly makes wedding photography an art form. She has a wonderful creative eye for composition and lighting, noticing little details that can elevate a photo. Plus, she is incredibly adaptable and prepared to find creative solutions to any problems that may come up. For instance, we were hoping for ‘golden hour’ sunset photos, but a sudden cold front and clouds were forecasted on the day of the wedding. Anticipating this, she used natural light and lanterns to create a dreamy, romantic effect. Part of this talent comes from her love for what she does, which comes through in every photo she takes, and makes her work exceptional. Overall, we cannot recommend Sarah Jane highly enough. She is a shining gem of a person, and we feel so lucky to have had her as our wedding photographer. Sarah Jane is incredibly skilled at her craft with an eye for making people look their best, who can help you feel at ease in front of the camera, and who has a gift for capturing the emotion of your wedding day in a way that is truly special. We have so many beautiful images of our wedding day, our family, and our friends that we will cherish forever, and we know that we have Sarah Jane to thank.

like working with an old friend. She immediately makes you feel comfortable, at ease, and joyful. She is great at helping you pose without making it feel forced or awkward. And she is the ultimate hype woman! Not only will Sarah Jane take stunning photos, but she also helps you out at ton with your timeline, logistics, and everything in between. Everyone at our wedding raved about her even before they saw the finished photos, because she was such a professional and a ray of sunshine. Plus she literally thinks of everything-- she ran over to add flowers to the top of our wedding cake before we took cake cutting photos, which was a tiny detail that made a huge difference. And her turn around time? Incredible! We received a sneak peak of our engagement photos and wedding photos within 2 days after taking them. We just got our full wedding album back and we can't stop smiling! We could rave about Sarah Jane forever, but the bottom line is that you should absolutely hire her!! Thanks for capturing our day so beautifully, Sarah Jane! -Liz & Dan

oth. We had several friends (especially the wedding party) comment on how great she was. We didn’t do an engagement shoot and had never done a couples photoshoot before, but Sarah made it fun and easy. I felt she really captured us, was excited about our vision, and was such a great hype woman during all the photos. Her planning in advance gave me full confidence the day would go well (even our DJ commented on her amazing timeline), but her ability to adapt and switch things really made our photos great. Advice from several friends was to book a photographer you wanted to hang with all day (because you will be) and Sarah was exactly that!

r pictures and he wasn’t really looking forward to doing formal photos, but after our engagement shoot with Sarah Jane he said, “wow, that was actually fun!” She is amazing at putting you at ease, and she is beyond helpful with timeline suggestions and day-of little things you never even knew you needed! We were thrilled with the stunning quality of the photos we got back from both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and her communication with us through every step of the process was top-knotch. Sarah Jane is incredibly talented, genuine, and an all-around awesome human — we would give her 12 stars if we could!

and for the wedding itself. During the getting ready pictures, we felt super comfortable right off the bat as Sarah put me and the wedding party at ease. She made taking pictures fun and exciting. We truly appreciated her enthusiasm through it all and her subtle reminders to “relax and enjoy the wedding!” Sarah also sent us a sneak peek of our photos within 24 hours which is crazy amazing of her!! We then received the rest of our photos within 6 weeks. We love love them all. Our wedding party and family praised and applauded Sarah for taking such amazing photos and for making it such an enjoyable time while doing so!
