Buckle up! This is a long review and hopefully worth reading.
We are so happy that we chose Sara to photograph our special day! This review is long overdue but better late than never! We recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary and browsed our wedding album to help remind us of how amazing and fun that day was for us. We had our wedding in October 2021 and coincidentally the same day as Sara and her husband's wedding anniversary. That enough just shows how dedicated she is to her passion of photography. She was so kind to us and genuinely seems like a nice person, which made our decision so easy. She was our first vendor we locked down and after our first phone call I knew that she'd be perfect for us. Posing in front of the camera is not something I'm necessarily comfortable doing, as most people may not be, but Sara made us feel so comfortable and guided us along the way. She made the photo session feel really natural and fun. She was organized and timely, which were very important to me.
First, I want to start off by saying how helpful she was throughout the whole planning process as I had to plan our wedding from the West Coast. She answered all my questions regarding the schedule, timing, color schemes, and much more. She even went out of her way to tour the venue before our wedding day since she hadn't been there before. In addition, since I couldn't be there myself for the final planning arrangements, she helped me pick linen colors, gave wonderful suggestions of table arrangements, and offered her feedback at times it was difficult for me to visualize everything from afar. I trusted her input and went with all of her suggestions and I didn't regret it.
On the day of the wedding, Sara and her assistant were timely. Everything went so smoothly and naturally. I never had to "find a photographer" because someone was always there to document. I've been in many wedding parties and found myself oftentimes having to "find the photographer" so that they can document moments that the bride wanted. Luckily for me, that never even came to mind on my wedding day. I loved that Sara and her assistant were able to capture the details of our wedding so beautifully, ranging form the beautiful flower arrangements to the details of the cake. She captured all the angles of my ceremony and reception, including the close-up photos that captured the lovely facial expressions of our guests to the zoomed out photos of all the guests dancing on the dance floor. Before the night ended, Sara kindly asked if there were any last shots that I wanted before they wrapped up, which I thought was great. By that time, we were all on the dance floor so I knew she got some good shots already.
We received our wedding album within a month! I couldn't believe it. By the time we received our photos, we were still on a wedding high so it made that moment even more exciting. We were absolutely blown away by how much of the details that she documented (that we missed). As the bride, I wasn't able to see the final details of the wedding in every room before the guests arrived, and by having these photos I was really able to appreciate the work of the florist and vendors. Prior to the wedding, Sara and I discussed the type of "feel" we wanted the photos to capture, and I told her that I wanted to capture the essence of "living in the moment" so that when we went back to look at the photos, we could feel as if we are reliving that day. With that being said, there were a ton of candid photos that made me laugh, cry, and giggle. They were perfect! Her photos displayed a soft, romantic touch that were timeless.
We feel so lucky to have had Sara at our wedding. I honestly couldn't imagine having to plan a wedding without her help. We look forward to having Sara continue to document our future photo sessions for years to come. I highly recommend Wolfcrest Photography! read more
