Hey there! 👋 Super excited you're checking out my Thumbtack profile! 📸 Before we dive into the details, just a quick heads up – each inquiry comes with a $50 leed fee and I've been getting some ghosts lately yes this is a part of being a professional photographer but I am also still in college and those charges add up. So please reach out to me on Insta @sarahcoatesphotos or email me - Also let's keep things smooth, make sure you're ready to book a photographer when reaching out. 💼 My rates kick off at $450 for proposals, engagement sessions, maternity sessions, and portrait sessions.
Don't forget to hit me up on Instagram too! 📷 @sarahcoatesphotos
Now, let's get to the good stuff! I'm all about capturing those genuine laughs and real smiles. 😄 I'll guide you through poses for natural and candid shots, so no need to stress about looking perfect. Plus, I'm up for traveling anywhere, so don't hold back if you're not local – I'd be thrilled to plan a special trip just for you!
Currently taking bookings for 2024/2025 weddings and elopements! Can't wait to chat and create some amazing memories together! 🎉

Sarah came out this past weekend for my proposal shoot and did an amazing job! She was on time, understanding, and very easy to work with! Weather the day of was alternating between sunlight/overcast but Sarah did a great job editing to give us clear beautiful pictures! I would recommend her to all!

Completely impressed with Sarah’s talent, personality, and artistic eye. My daughter (the bride) was thrilled with the photography as well as Sarah’s coordination, choreography, and connection with each of the members of the wedding party. Just thrilled. Not possible to give a higher recommendation of Sarah’s work. She is a rare combination of a beautiful personality with an amazing talent.

Sarah was wonderful to work with. It rained on our initial date and Sarah more than happy to reschedule us to a different day that same week. She made the shoot fun and easy. She was helpful guiding us with the poses for the different photos. She also got the photos to us very quickly. We had a wonderful experience.

Sarah did a fantastic job photographing my brother’s small civil wedding. It was last minute due to our mom being sick, & Sarah was very easy to work with to get everything organized. She did a great job making everything look beautiful & capturing small details, too. I’d hire again in a heartbeat & wish she did family photos, too.
