Introduction: Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Sarah from Sarah Luther Photography. I specialize in weddings and family portrait sessions. I started Sarah Luther Photography out of a passion for capturing love and emotion through photography. I get excited about photographing each wedding as if it were my own. My family jokes about how they expected to see me walking down the aisle at my own wedding carrying a camera. My husband, also a photographer, is often my second shooter. We're not only your photographers, we're your storytellers and friends. When we work together, it's not just about the photographs, it’s about the experience. I want you to enjoy the process at every stage. I want to learn about your story and get to know you as a couple. I will get a sense of your personal style and understand what’s important to you so I can capture every detail. On the day, I want you to trust me to do what I do best, so that you can be yourself, relax and enjoy every moment. Pure emotions, the spontaneous and the scripted—I’ll document it all. *All of my wedding and portrait packages come with an online gallery where you can share and download all of your edited, high resolution images. I do not put a cap on delivered images, meaning I will give you all the images that look great from your session. Some wedding packages and portraits come with a photo credit for purchasing high quality prints.

I chose Sarah to photograph my wedding based on her portfolio full of gorgeous candid shots and creative detail shots. I hate posing for photos, plus I worked so hard on all the decor for the event and knew she'd appreciate that based on her style. So I figured she'd be perfect. Once I started communicating with her, it all fell into place. She is so personable and authentic--she really related to our vision and seemed to know right away what we needed. At the same time, she had a thorough intake process to find out exactly what we wanted, so there was no guesswork or mind-reading on her part. By the day of the wedding, she was one of the few things I was absolutely confident about. Sarah sometimes works as a team with her husband, and they both arrived on time dressed impeccably and ready to go. I was very busy before the ceremony and thankfully they didn't need any direction from me, they just started shooting and shooting, flitting around stealthily like ninjas. I barely saw them the entire night. There were a few posed group shots which my husband requested, and they were quick and reasonably painless. I was nervous about seeing the images afterwards, and thankfully we didn't have to wait long at all. Sarah had the website ready in only 9 days! And I was so incredibly thrilled with how the photos turned out. So creative, so thorough. The event was mostly in the evening in the winter so most of the photos had to be shot with the bizarre artificial lighting situations we had going on--house fluorescents plus colored LEDs. They managed to do a great job without using flash a lot and any blurring looked very creative and intentional. In the end, they managed to capture the entire story of the event from the very beginning almost to the very end in a lovely, cohesive timeline, exactly how I pictured it! It's so wonderful to look them over and it really takes me back to that magical day. The presentation package on the website is reasonably easy to use and lovely to look at. The hosting vendor also sells prints, so my guests can order whatever images they like for keepsakes. Overall Sarah and her husband are an excellent investment that you won't regret. I highly recommend her services.

I have no other word but excellent for Sarah. When you hire a photographer for your event its not only their work but their personality that shines through. She was so warm and accomodating that she made it a smooth sailing experience. Great work ethics and a very pleasant persona to work with. Thanks Sarah!!

Sarah came to my salon to do headshots for my staff. She delivered above what I expected! My staff had a wonderful time with her and they all were raving about how comfortable she made them feel. There was a quick turn around for the photos and she even offered to take pictures of the salon and products that I would not have thought of. A wonderful experience from beginning to end and beautiful, professional shots for our website and social media.

My husband and I were married in the majestic redwoods. Sarah is a kind professional and great to work with. Her pictures turned out great!! My family and friends were impressed with them too. I like how she experimented with different filters, adding a creative flare.
