We hired Sarah to capture our small wedding ceremony and take posed photos afterwards. She was professional from the first message! Great communication in regard to discussing her process, listening to our wishes, and providing a timeline of what to expect from the first call through delivering the final product. She made us feel at ease during the photos, giving us prompts to help get natural reactions and beautiful pictures. We got over 350 photos for a 2 hour session and the results are exactly what I had hoped to get! I would absolutely work with her again and have already sent her contact info to friends who attended the wedding and were impressed as well!

Sarah right away was responsive to questions and emails sent before the session. She was flexible as to the time and place. The session went well even though we had 5 children under the age of 2 with 3 babies! Sarah didn't let the crying babies stop her from trying to get that perfect picture. It was a beautiful day to remember. I highly recommend Sarah as your next photographer!

Sarah is amazing. She not only went to the event site and met with the hotel manager a few days prior to check out the venue and lighting, but also recommended places to capture pictures. Amazing group pictures and quiet moments captured.

If you are looking for someone to take pictures for your wedding look no further than Sarah. She is an absolute professional, she showed up to the venue 30min early to find scenes for our photos. Sarah had fun ideas for pictures and was receptive to any ideas we had for photos. Sarah also stayed late to help capture our day and make it truly special. Thank you Sarah for helping us capture memories that we can share forever!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer fair and upfront pricing: $250 per hour with all of your edited, full resolution files included. I occasionally run sales on my website.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to start with a phone call or zoom meet to open communication and make sure that we’re a good fit! I am always open and honest about my pricing and what I can offer. If it’s a match I will email my contract and request a deposit of 25% to hold the date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an art minor with an emphasis in photography from the University of Minnesota. I trained with two different portrait and wedding photographers in the twin cities and have completed several Photoshop and editing courses.
