Kind words from Chloe & Sean...


To call Sarah just a photographer is an injustice. Over the course of our engagement she became a friend, and took on a role that melded into more of a support system than we even knew we needed at the time. She is passionate about telling her client’s story, in the way that you imagine, but also with the veil of her own creative eye that captivates not just a moment but the feeling around it. She is detail oriented and that shines through her photographs and perspective. My family and I are still ooing and aweing over the artful decisions she made to make the photos as beautiful and thoughtful as they are.


It was obvious from the beginning that Sarah cared about us and wanted to do our story justice, but it was honestly surprising how genuinely invested she became in us and our day. Our expectations were completely blown out of the water, which is to say a lot because I consider myself a very particular and honestly, hypercritical person. All of that is to say, I had very high expectations to begin with. Sarah listened to every request, worry, and wish that I had, and worked alongside me to make sure I had no concerns going into the wedding day. And when I say this, I’m not just talking about the photos– which is what I mean when I say calling her just a photographer is an injustice – she was my advocate, my sounding board, and my biggest cheerleader. She is delightful to work with and I absolutely fell in love with her spunky personality.


I couldn’t imagine having anyone else alongside us to tell our story. Aside from her being the most amazing, delightful, and caring person, I also can’t say enough good about her skill as a photographer. She brought my Pinterest board to life and then some! I actually can’t stop looking at our gallery. Her eye is unmatched..we could’ve taken our photos in a parking lot and she would’ve somehow found a way to make them beautiful. Your wedding photos are forever, but I never realized that the person behind the camera mattered all that much until Sarah. If you're lucky enough to book her I'm certain you'll feel the same.

Testimonials

"Sarah was a joy to work with! She photographed our elopement at Phipps and we had an absolute blast. Sarah chatted with us on the phone ahead of time to ensure we were a good fit and she worked collaboratively with us to address our needs and concerns. Although my husband and I had never done a formal photo shoot before, Sarah made us feel super comfortable and we had a fantastic time. The photos turned out beyond what I could've hoped for and I am so thrilled with the results. The entire process was so much fun and I can't wait to work with Sarah again in the future. Highly recommend!"

Emma + Aaron

"Booking Sarah will be the absolute best thing you do for your wedding (or truly any life event). I am so so so thankful that we found her - she works so hard and sees YOU and your vision. Our engagement and wedding photos are so “us” - each shoot she does is truly capturing who the couple is, not just cookie-cutter poses (but if that’s your thing, she works with you to make sure you’re getting photos you have in mind too!). As someone who isn’t super comfortable in front of a camera, Sarah made it so easy and put me at ease immediately - it instantly felt like we were old friends. She would guide us into poses that felt natural to us and would capture our laughs and convos and kisses in between - that’s what makes her so special. She really just gets it and truly sees people and captures those moments when you think no one is looking. We had so many wedding photos the next day and the full gallery in two weeks - and every single one is just amazing. I can’t imagine having spent such an important day with anyone else."

Sarah + Spencer

"Sarah took our engagement photos and wedding photos- we can't imagine having worked with anyone else! We were initially excited about her absolutely gorgeous artistic style and storytelling, and her intentional inclusion of a diverse client base really sold us (which is hard to find in the area!). She was so much fun to work with and made us feel relaxed and confident. By the end of the night we felt like old friends. Cannot recommend working with Sarah enough!"

She did my engagement photos and wedding photos, and hopefully will continue to capture mine and my family's special life events. Sarah makes you feel like she is your friend and has known you for years. She has a great eye and is incredibly artistic and will be able to create any vision. I am so lucky to have found her and was able to use her services for my special day. She is the best photographer selection in the Pittsburgh area."

Sarah + Andrew

"Sarah is not only a wonderful photographer but is also a wonderful person who makes her clients feel comfortable and confident. Her artistic vision makes for unique photos that are also timeless and classy. She also really caters to what her clients are looking for and wants to know your vision and she will figure out how to achieve it. She did my engagement shoot and will be doing my wedding this year and is so engaged with my wedding vision and wants to be a part of the process so she can bring that vision to life for our wedding photos!"

Testimonials

"I can’t say enough good things about Sarah and our experience! She made us both so comfortable during our engagement photo session when we first met. Her genuine care for providing beautiful and artful photos for her clients shines through her work! Not only that, but she takes the time to get to know each couple as individuals and showcases that in her work. Fun, hilarious and over all an outstanding and professional photographer and person!! We just received our wedding album and it’s breathtaking! 10/10 recommend her services to any and all!"

Jacqueline + Derrick

"Not only is Sarah a genuine sweetie, total peach, best hype girl you’ll ever have, but her skills are out of this world. She did mine and my husbands wedding, and recently did a family shoot for Mother’s Day (our gift to my mom). She makes you feel so incredibly special while photographing you, and no matter what you think of yourself- you’re going to be blown away by the photos. Any insecurities will diminish because your photos will 100% look like they belong in a magazine. I never want anyone else photographing me other than Sarah. On a scale of 1-10, she breaks the scale."

megan + scott

"We booked Sarah over two years prior to our wedding date, because we were so eager to have a photographer who could shoot us candidly and still make each photo look like a dream. She managed to wrangle my husband’s rowdy group of groomsmen and get them to properly participate throughout the day, a feat in an of itself. My husband and I find ourselves constantly looking back at our album, and we’ve received many compliments on our pictures.

We found out we were expecting our first baby on our 1st wedding anniversary in October 2021, and right away we knew Sarah was the only one who could capture our maternity pictures flawlessly. We drove 2 hours while 34 weeks pregnant to get *the best* pictures ever - which is surprising, since I was certain nothing could top our wedding pictures.

Sarah has a way of making you feel comfortable and glamorous at the same time!"
