Praise from clients:
Sarah was fantastic. She was warm and professional from start to finish. She did an amazing job of capturing all of the special moments of our day, from the official group photos to the candid photos during the reception. She went out of her way to try to make the most of the rapidly disappearing sunset and we managed to get a great diversity of beautiful scenes around Magnolia Plantation. We would definitely recommend her to others as their official wedding photographer and we were delighted to be able to support her in her career. Her rates were very competitive and her work was of the highest quality. Thank you so much, Sarah!!! - Peter, Charleston, SC
Sarah captured a very special proposal for my partner and I. We're new to Charleston and she found the most perfect and romantic spot to photograph our night! Not only was the photo quality so amazing, but she also turned the photos around at lightning speed! Sarah was amazing to work with and I recommend her to anyone! - Morgan, Charleston, SC
My family and I were vacationing in Charleston and wanted photographer to capture our annual family beach pics. We found Sarah and she was professional, organized and easy to work with. She had great suggestions and you could tell she knew exactly which spots to snap your family for the best pics. - Gina, Folly Beach
Sarah is amazing! She took photos of my family in Charleston near rainbow row and the waterfront & I can't tell you how happy I am with the way our pictures turned out. My 18 month old was woken up by me after sleeping in the car & she was not in a good mood when we showed up to meet Sarah. I was so worried about how we were going to take pictures with a grumpy toddler. Well, Sarah whipped out a few toys (lifesaver) which distracted my daughter and stopped her from crying. Then Sarah had us do our own thing - playing with our daughter, chasing her around, walking together and holding hands as a family. If you saw the way our pictures turned out, you would have no idea that our daughter was just screaming minutes before we started taking pictures. We've gotten so many compliments from our friends and family who were highly impressed with the way our pictures turned out. They look so natural! And the quality/resolution is so much better than some of the pictures I saw on other local photographers websites. I will definitely recommend Sarah to my friends and family for all of their picture needs. Thanks a million, Sarah!! - Jenn, Charleston, SC
