Kind words from a past client…
“Sarah is the Leslie
Knope of wedding photographers!”
“If you’ve seen Parks & Rec, hopefully you know what this means. If you haven’t, it means that she’s prepared for anything, puts her whole soul into her work, and leaves you with the most perfect finished product you could have ever dreamed of. So yes, the photos are what you’re ‘getting’ but really it was all of the other things she provides that makes her so unforgettable.” -Fiona & Mitchell

“I would definitely consider Sarah as a friend now…!"
Wow! We are so grateful for Sarah…. She hooked us up with a camper van company for our honeymoon and had a ton of other great recommendations for us… She was an immense help to us on the day of our wedding. She created a timeline, kept us on-track, took us to a beautiful location for photos/private vows, helped set up for our reception, and helped out in a million other ways that day.
She was a great addition to the small group of family and friends that we had in attendance and fit right in with everyone! She continued to go above and beyond by coming by the next day with coffee and she kindly stored the salmon we caught in her freezer while we were traveling around on our honeymoon… I would definitely consider Sarah as a friend now and could not recommend her enough!
-Charlie & Sara
“A blast to have around us in the most special moments of our lives.”
“Where do I start ... Sarah is an incredible human inside and out. She was a blast to have around us in the most special moments of our lives. I gave Sarah fair warning from the beginning that we can be awkward and definitely don't know the first thing about taking photos or posing, and she assured us that everything would be okay, (not only that but so fun!) and gave us pointers for the day.
There were a couple of things for our wedding that I had forgotten about or procrastinated to the very last moment and Sarah came to the rescue!… Her presence also kept me SO calm on my wedding day, and I am so thankful that she was there for me. We are absolutely thrilled with how our photos from both engagement and wedding shoots turned out, we will cherish all of the moments she captured forever. Blake and I are forever grateful for Sarah's prescience and new found friendship surrounding our wedding!”
-Blake & Sally
“Hyped up all of the ideas we had and turned them into a reality.”
“Sarah is the most incredible, supportive, and creative photographer I’ve ever worked with! My husband and I decided to elope in Alaska… We live across the country, so coordinating wedding details that far away, was going to be tricky. Sarah went above and beyond to support us in coordinating our absolutely magical day… She was always super responsive and hyped up all of the ideas we had and turned them into a reality.
On the actual day, she made us feel so comfortable and helped us navigate the day with some last minute changes… There were so many special touches throughout the day that I never could have even dreamed of… I spent time researching photographers in Alaska who would come adventuring with us outdoors and her photos captured us right away. We are both beyond thrilled that she worked with us and I would recommend her to absolutely everyone!”
-Steve & Christine

“There is incredible photographer talent in Alaska, and after lots of Instagram scrolling, we felt Sarah's style was what we were looking for to capture both our engagement and wedding photos. We knew we chose right because we cannot say enough incredible and wonderful things about working with Sarah. Her personality made us feel like ourselves in front of the camera. She understood our vibe, personality, and arguably the most important aspect, how much we loved our dog (and bonus points for how much she loves hers!)
Sarah took everything into account and more… it was who we were, who our important people were on the big day, and what moments weren't on the list, but just had to be captured.
The photos were better than we could have ever hoped for… They were edited in such a way that just completely captured the essence of our wedding. We couldn't be happier to have the greatest memories captured forever because of Sarah's work.”
