Sarah, captured the canids pictures we sought for when booking and also guided us in capturing some wonderful portraits. Through some tense moments in the day, Sarah also served as a calming and reassuring presence. Additionally, Sarah went above and beyond to provide a great soundtrack to and from our ceremony all while still getting shots of some favorite moments. If you are a couple looking for elevated candids and a true artist, book Sarah for your special day!

Sarah was a delight to work with from start to finish. she is refreshingly down to earth. She is up front about her style and her rates, and extremely quick to respond to communication. We hired Sarah in 2022 for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding - she did a great job at each one. She captures beautiful portraits and staged photos, but her real specialty (as you can see from her website) is finding wonderful candid shots of the couple and their guests throughout the wedding weekend. She is great with lighting and her photos always have an interesting composition. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos!

If you’re looking for a professional, personable, talented wedding photographer, look no further than Sarah Nader! We worked with Sarah for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, and we could not be more pleased. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives! Sarah delivered on everything we asked for, and more. She was both patient and helped us stay on track with our bridal and family photos on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable and documented our day beautifully. Sarah hustles to get the shot and offers some direction while allowing lovely, natural moments to unfold organically. She suggested we do a night champagne shot and we’re so glad we did! The photos came out beautifully. We enthusiastically recommend Sarah for your wedding photography!

These pictures really are forever <3 Sarah did a really beautiful job capturing our day and it was exactly what we were looking for. We asked her to focus less on scenery and more on moments of our guest connecting with one another and WOW. She really exceeded our expectations. She did a great job posing and directing us when necessary, while encouraging us to bring some spontaneity to those shots too. We just want to emphasize what a marvelous job Sarah did with those unrepeatable special interactions - looks, laughs, dancing, and especially - the little ones who were part of our special day. We are so glad that we picked Sarah to record this joyful day.
