Sarah was consistently prompt - from the inquiry responses to her communication on party day, she is reliable.
We heard from many people, and experienced ourselves, how our guests valued Sarah’s friendliness - her and Michael were warm to everyone and engaged with the crowd so caringly.
Sarah’s talent is sharp - she listened to our directive on the moments, people, and decor we wanted captured. We received a Sneak Peak within 24 hours and already saw some awesome gems … we definitely enjoyed the different frames and views, action shots and stills … sharing in these photos made us so happy. We can’t wait for the full album!
It was a great decision to ask Sarah to join my father-in-law’s birthday celebration as our photographer - she accommodated our last minute request with skill, grace, and enthusiasm. Thank you!

Sarah and her husband were absolutely amazing! Sarah is super nice and responsive. We tried to do way too much at the wedding and ended up with a lot going wrong on our end and things happening late. Sarah was super understanding and supportive through it all, making sure we got good pictures even though I was having a mental breakdown lol. Even stayed later than originally planned since everything went so late. We got our pictures sooner than planned too, which was nice! Sarah has been great and helpful with my every concern. It takes a lot to put up with my craziness and she has done fantastic! I definitely recommend them for your special day!!

We are beyond pleased that we went with McAuliffe Photography for our outdoor wedding and reception!! Michael, Sarah, and Kelci are fantastic - they arrived early for our event and went right into the zone! Our images are AMAZING! The team knows what to do, and are great coaches. They posed us and family/friends effortlessly. I was so touched that Sarah showed up and blew our minds even though she was feeling under the weather. She is dedicated to her craft, and it really shows.
Communication was AWESOME - I mainly talked with Sarah, and her energy could be felt even through our texts and messages. She was an absolute joy to work with, from the planning stage to the big day! The team was very professional, but also like family and we loved that about them. I am so excited to book them for our next photo shoot!

I just wanted to write a shoutout and huge thank you to our wedding photographers! McAuliffe Photography were so professional and nice to work with. They fit our vibe perfectly and became a part of our one-of-a-kind wedding! They even have a drone for totally awesome filming opportunities! I am thrilled we went with them and would highly suggest to anyone in the Tyler area! I am ecstatic about our wedding photos. No awkward poses just cute natural and loving.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We try to be fair and understanding when picking a price that suits that particular client. We get it..life is hard. So why should that be a factor when it comes to getting the pictures everyone deserves? We also try to do discounts on every Holiday. AND we have a FREE photo shoot give-a-ways a few times a year, so be sure to follow us on our Facebook page because that is where we post the information for those!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The customer messages us with any questions. Then we ask what they specifically need and from there we price the shoot and schedule a date. If it is a more special shoot we help plan everything and buy props.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My husband and I have dedicated countless hours of research and hours of perfecting our photography skills. We have worked with other well known photographers in the area as well. We officially have an LLC for McAuliffe Photography! My husband has his commercial real estate certificate and we both have our drone license!
