“We did a mini session with Sarah done on Chalmers and Washington Square and the photos turned out beautifully! She has a great eye for location, color, background and poses. We are so excited to get the photos up on our wall!”

“Hiring Sarah to photograph our wedding day was the BEST decision ever! Sarah made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, she made us laugh and loosed up and we love that our pictures are full of genuine laughs and smiles. She is a pro at efficiently directing the wedding party to get photos while staying on timeline, which we really appreciated. Her style is light, bright, and romantic, which is exactly what we wanted our Charleston wedding to feel like. ”
