Why is a good wedding photographer so important?

Sarai is the most amazing person I have ever met, and she’s amazing at taking photos. She did our engagement shoot and I was blown away. Her and I are both in the photography industry, and we got along so well, and I felt like she always read my mind on the shots that I wanted. I’m so happy that I chose her as my photographer because I got amazing photos that I can look back on for a lifetime and I made a wonderful friend.

I was looking for a photographer for my courthouse wedding and stumbled upon Sari Photography in a local bridal group. I fell in love with another bride's photos from her shower and decided that was the direction I wanted to go for my wedding. From the first interaction with Sarai, I knew this was going to be special. Not only is she incredibly talented, she's just overall such a wonderful human. She went above and beyond to make me feel so beautiful and capture the love between me and my husband. We are not the most photo-intense people, yet she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I came away with so many incredible shots that have helped cement the best memories in my mind from truly one of the best days ever. I can't wait to have another milestone event to book Sarai for because it was such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!!! 

Sarai is like the best friend you're catching up after a long time apart. It's so rare to find a business owner who has such a level of emotional intelligence as Sarai does. From the minute we started texting to our Facetime calls, I knew we'd be friends. Since then, she checks in on me, engages with me on Instagram, etc. She's such a girls' girl and will make you feel like the most beautiful person in the room. Sarai even went out of the way to help with set up when I was running a little behind schedule. I didn't even have to tell her what goes where; she was just so in tune with everything. Not to mention, the PHOTOS! They came out even more beautiful than I ever imagined. Each one captured the emotions in the room perfectly, and my girls still rave about the photos! I'm so ever-the-moon with the entire experience from Sarai and hope to remain good friends! 

Once I saw Sarai's instagram page I KNEW I had to have HER take our photos. From the moment that we connect via instagram, she was attentive, creative and took time to get to know me and what I was looking for in a shoot. I can say she takes pictures of who a person truly is and captures every smile/emotion without error.
She whole heartedly does her very best to engage you, make sure you are getting what you are looking for by showing previews right there of the photos you are taking! Overall, from the second we met in person, her bubbly and fun personality made my partner and I feel comfortable/heard. Sarai was hands on (Ex: in and out of the water, risking slipping on moss and tripping over sticks while navigating to and through the woods and waterfalls to get the perfect shots!) I honestly can't even begin to express how amazing the photos came out and how they outdid my expectations. Her prices were also very fair for the quality of work she provides.
I can't wait to do my engagement photos with her in a few months. DO NOT LOOK ELSEWHERE !! Book her ---- (and she travels :) !!) 

Sarai was amazing to work with! We absolutely loved our shoot with her - she even brought her husband along as a 2nd photographer. You can tell she loves what she does, which really makes you feel comfortable during your session. The turnaround time for our photos was quick and they came out even better than we would have imagined. We couldn't have asked for any better. 1000/10 recommend!

This was our first time working with Sarai but definitely will not be our last. We recently took family photos with her, and let’s firstly just say, our almost 3 year old was not in the mood to participate and created quite an initial challenge to the session. However, what could have been a terrible day turned into a wonderful one thanks to Sarai’s sweet demeanor, incredible patience, and determination to capture something beautiful for us. She was so loving towards our girl as we tried to take shots and was also so reassuring throughout the entire session, which was truly needed on our part. Sarai was confident she would deliver something special-and she was absolutely right. The pictures came out incredibly stunning. She provided some of my favorite pictures of my entire family and for that I am so grateful. Sarai is truly an artist with an amazing eye-her work gives off a cinematic, warm quality that I adore. What I wasn’t expecting was her overall passion for working with families and beyond kind personality that made the entire experience an absolute joy. I highly recommend her and can not say enough about our amazing experience with her!

Sarai is amazing! She is super personable and makes taking photos enjoyable. We did a mini session and she was able to get an ample amounts of photos, way more than expected within just a mini shooting and they were all amazing. She was able to get my whole family and dog posed for photos with ease! I would highly recommend sari photography for any one looking for a photographer and will definitely be using her for all my future events.

Huge thanks to Sarai for taking such beautiful photos of us! She captures the best moments and makes you feel comfortable and confident! She guides you through what to do and you'll definitely warm up to her! Sarai was easy to work with and it was clear that she takes a lot of pride on her work. She is a true pro and I really do appreciate her! Definitely I recommend Sarai and will do another shoot with her again! 

Sarai was incredible throughout the entire process. From day one communication via email to the video chats to us being consistently late and last minute Sarai worked with us every step of the way. Getting ready for a big event can be stressful but she made maybe one of the most important aspects of it so simple. My mother and fiancé convinced me how important the photography is and I am so glad I listened. She was worth every penny. So professional and got the best out of me and my incredibly photogenic fiance. (Massive props getting me to look decent). She got our best sides in any situation and made us feel so comfortable while she was shooting us even in the freezing cold. I will never use a different photographer and look forward to finding another opportunity to work with Sarai again. 10/10 would and WILL recommend. She is the best of the best!
