Your engagement and wedding will feel like a whirlwind. At first you won't even know where to begin; but for us we knew exactly where to begin. We picked our wedding date according to what Sarah had available; to us, having her as our photographer was that important. After everything is said and done we knew we would have these photos to look back on with our future children, grandchildren, family, and friends. Her ability to capture each couples true personality, and every moment from the " I do" to the quiet moments of a loving glance is incredible. Each picture tells a story of our love and friendship that we will cherish and share forever.

I found Sarah Murray Photography after months of researching for a wedding photographer. Sounds a little excessive, right? It was absolutely worth the research! Sarah was flexible and patient with my indecisive personality. Her packages generously accommodate so many different preferences, but it's safe to say, you're going to want her to be around for everything!
Anyone can take photos, but Sarah's photography is art that tells a story. I chose Sarah to be our wedding photographer because when I looked at her photos of complete strangers, I felt like I was somehow there and part of that day. There was a special connection that kept drawing me to Sarah's photos because they tell a story about a moment in time.
Sarah has the most wonderful personality, and knows how to accomplish so much in such a short period of time as the day flies by. When we arrived at the venue to get ready, Sarah had already scoped out the lay of the land for ideas. We were on the same wavelength the entire day, and Sarah was so accommodating to requests! She immediately immersed herself into the chaos of the day by working so calmly with the coordinator, DJ, caterer, venue staff, and our crazy friends & families.
I felt comfort in knowing that when there was a moment that I wanted to remember forever, Sarah was already subtly capturing it off to the side. Every single time.
I'm so thankful that we were able to spend our wedding day with someone so special. It was extraordinary, relaxing, & every bit of what it should be. Every single time I look at the photos, they take me back to that exact moment and memory. For all future occasions in life that are worth documenting, I want Sarah to be the one to do it!
Sarah- thank you for being so talented, detail-oriented, calm, incredibly sweet, and for capturing the most special 'moments between moments' that we will cherish forever.
With Love, Kelly & Eric

When we were planning our wedding, we went back and forth on whether to hire a videographer. We ultimately chose not to. This decision led us to place even more emphasis and value in our photos, since they would be exclusively capturing and preserving the memories of this special day!
We knew Sarah was the perfect photographer for us when we saw her website. Her gallery showcased photographs that were artistic and expressive, ones that used the lighting and natural environment in unique ways. All of her photos, whether candid or styled, conveyed the emotions that were being felt in that captured moment.
When we received the photos from our wedding, all of our hopes and expectations were met - and exceeded! Our final gallery included an incredible mix of photos that, together, captured us and told the story of our day. We were especially impressed that Sarah managed to photograph every single component of our day, from the venue and decor to the dancing and festivities! The greatest thing about the final photos, though, is that they so clearly capture the emotions of our wedding day. Looking at them takes us back to the moment and to the love, joy, and happiness that abounded. Sarah has an incredible skill for this work - to produce photos that are so expressive and joyful is an amazing talent. We were very fortunate to have her document our wedding, and also to have her wisdom and expertise afterwards as we created our wedding album.
Not only are Sarah's photos incredible, she is also wonderful to work with. She takes time to get to know her couples, and really works to make their unique personalities and love stories shine through in her work. We would recommend Sarah to any and every soon-to-be married couple looking for photos that truly capture the essence and emotions of their love story! You won't be disappointed!

When we started wedding planning we knew choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important choices. Sarah did not disappoint!
She made everyone comfortable while taking photos and was able to capture great candid moments from the wedding day. The day was beautiful for the time of year but it became windy. Sarah was able to get all our photos in regardless of the wind being a challenge.
Our wedding day went by so fast but I can always relive the moments through our photos thanks to Sarah's talent.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Sarah shoot our wedding in West Virginia last June. She was the perfect blend of professional and personal. She made the process easy and enjoyable from the engagement shoot to the wedding day. Not only did Sarah take unbelievably beautiful photographs, but she also helped us build our wedding day timeline to keep the day flowing. Sarah's shots were ethereal, creative, and impeccably executed. She is a dream to work with and the quality of her work is no less than magical. Shear perfection!
Danielle & Stephen
Finding a photographer to capture your wedding day is one of the first things you think of when planning your wedding. After my husband and I saw Sarah’s photography from other weddings, we knew that we had to have Sarah photograph our big day. Sarah is beyond talented, wildly creative, and amazes everyone with her stunning work. She is so laid back, easy to work with, and you can tell that she truly loves her job and the people she gets to work with. We are so blessed that we were able to work with Sarah and have her capture our love story through our engagement and wedding pictures. Every single picture taken was amazing, showing all of the emotions and details of our day.
Stephen and I love to go back and relive our wedding day through these photos and we plan to cherish them forever. Sarah, we will never be able to thank you enough for everything you have done for us - you are SO wonderful and we loved every second that we had working with you. We hope to have you capture more of our story again in the future! I have, and will continue to recommend anyone and everyone to you!

When we first contacted Sarah to discuss our wedding details, she already had our first choice date booked. After only a slight bridal crisis moment, my husband and I decided to change our wedding date to one that Sarah had available because we had already fallen so in love with her style through several friends weddings. We are both SO glad that we did. We loved every second of our wedding day. It went by so fast that it all felt like a blur. Thankfully, Sarah captured the day with such incredible talent that every time we look at the photos, we have the chance to relive some of our best moments! She didn't miss anything and was a blessing to share our wedding day with. We recommend Sarah to everyone!

Our wedding day was absolutely one of the best days of our lives. Due to our decision to elope, having photographs and a video to share with family and friends was top priority. We could not have asked for a more talented photographer. Sarah has a gift for not only taking stunning pictures but making love shine through her photos. Everyone - and we mean everyone - that we have shared our photographs with are in total amazement. Sarah also created a blog post about the
day and spoke of us in the most beautiful way. Her writing shows her passion and love for what she does while capturing the couple and the day in the most spectacular way. Sarah is wonderful and so easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable (even when it is just the two of you). We could not have envisioned pictures more beautiful and the love she showed between us will forever be cherished. We are so thankful and would recommend her to anyone a thousand times over.

Sarah and I were in the same Fine Arts program in college, and after seeing her beautiful photography I knew, whenever I got married she was going to be the one to capture my day. So two years later, the minute we signed our contract and locked in our wedding date, I immediately contacted her, she had her entire month booked, except for our date, thankfully! Sarah will always get my recommendation to any couple in search of the perfect photographer! She is so incredibly talented, and can capture those beautiful moments between two people so effortlessly. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the lens, which can be intimidating at first, but she's able to make you somehow forget about the camera and be in the moment with your other half. Even my family members commented on how great she was and how well she worked together with our videographer. Not to mention our beautiful hard bound photo book, she chose the most perfect collection of pictures from our day that truly takes us back to each moment when we look through it time and time again.
I feel so lucky to have worked with her, I'm so proud to share our photos with family and friends. Thank you Sarah for capturing one of the most important days of our lives so beautifully!

After seeing the beautiful photographs that Sarah had taken for one of my friend’s wedding, I knew that when I got married, I wanted her to be our photographer. With my husband’s work, our wedding date couldn’t be decided far in advance, but Sarah was so flexible in making sure that she would be our photographer. Once the big day arrived, she did an amazing job capturing all of the special moments. She is so talented in making you feel at ease, and giving you small directions that result in candid moments that truly capture the love and emotion you are feeling that day. In addition, her blog post about your wedding shows you how much she cares, and allows anyone who looks at it to feel how special the day was, and really makes them feel like they were there. You can really tell that Sarah loves what she does, and your photos will show that. Every single one shows a special detail, true smile, laugh, and loving look. I will cherish these beautiful photographs forever, and be able to look back at them and be instantly placed right back in that moment. Thanks again for everything, Sarah, and we can’t wait for you to capture many more special moments in our life!

When I first saw Sarah’s website I instantly knew I loved her aesthetic and I wanted her to photograph our wedding. My Husband and I are so thankful that we made that choice. Sarah jumped right into the mix and felt more like a friend then a photographer. She handled everyone in the wedding party so well even the larger personalities in the group!
She made the day easier for me and completely followed my vision of what I wanted the photography to capture. She did an outstanding job of photographing those special moment where I am able to now look back and remember exactly how I felt. Our wedding day went by so fast and was such a whirlwind that having someone who is able to perfectly capture all of the important moments is priceless. I am so grateful to her and how professional and easy she made the whole process for us. I literally cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Sarah. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking and I hope to be able to work with her again in the future!

Sarah was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. I have told countless people that she was the best money that we spent. There truly wasn’t a picture she took that we didn’t like. From our first email conversation, she was easy to work. She made us feel very comfortable and at ease during the engagement pictures. The day of the wedding, she was amazing. Having her there was like having another friend spend the day with you. I could not have been any more pleased with Sarah on a personal level and her work. The proof is in the photos.

My husband and I knew that finding the right photographer to capture one of the biggest days of our lives was at the top of our wedding to do list. Boy did we get lucky when we found Sarah! She is so down to earth, professional, and easy to work with. Sarah works her camera magic without you even knowing that she's there. We were absolutely blown away when we received our wedding photos. Sarah captured every detail of our special day, things we missed due to how fast the day flew by and being caught up in the wedding blissfulness. Sarah's passion for what she does shines through her amazing work. Sarah is truly gifted with a special eye and talent. I highly recommend Sarah for anyone looking for a photographer. After working with Sarah and seeing the amazing work that she does she will be our go to photographer for documenting all of the wonderful journeys we will encounter in our lives.

We have and will continue to refer EVERYONE we know to Sarah! All of our wedding pictures are amazingly beautiful, and each photo captured the moments of our wedding day perfectly. She made the simplest and smallest details look extraordinary in photographs. She also chose excellent pictures for our wedding book. It told the story of our day and made it so easy for us to show everyone pictures from our wedding. Her attention to detail, love, and passion for what she does is definitely reflective in her work. Not only does she capture her subjects with her camera lens, but she also captures who they are in her blog posts with the intro she writes about each couple, family, or person she photograph. Her posts are so touching and thoughtful it makes me feel like I know everyone she photographs! We can't say enough great things!! We feel so blessed to have met her and can't wait to be able to have her photograph more important moments in our lives!!

Selecting a wedding photographer can be one of the most daunting and stressful searches a couple goes through during wedding planning. Luckily for us, after witnessing the beautiful work Sarah did at a close friends wedding, and her professionalism and personality at their event, we were absolutely confident in our decision in selecting her to document our day.
During the planning process, Sarah always took the initiative and would contact me if needed and would respond back to my questions in a short matter of time. She understood my preferences for shots and styles, executed them and then some! Her photographs were artistic, soft, radiated the emotions of the day, and timeless. She was calm and confident throughout the entire day. Being seen and heard when necessary shots were needed, but blending into the background so our guests, me and my husband could still enjoy the day without unnecessary interruptions.
We were blessed with a beautiful wedding day, and Sarah captured everything, even the little details, moments and emotions, flawlessly. I would recommend Sarah to anyone
Jan + Lee
I don’t think we can say enough great things about Sarah. We were completely won over by Sarah during our engagement shoot – she was very easy-going and creative, and totally made us comfortable being in front of the camera. We knew we were in good hands for our wedding day! And Sarah definitely proved us right. On the big day, she was super-flexible with last minute schedule changes, and was able to make any setting “work”, whether we were at the house, the pier, or our main venue. She handled our insane shot list of all our family members, even with groupings as large as 70 people. Her blog post that she posted later with a few photos from our wedding, literally made us and our friends & family gasp at the beautiful photos and the great candid memories that she was able to capture. Definitely select Sarah for any of your photography needs – you can tell she sincerely loves what she does and loves being around people – it truly shows in her photographs! Thanks again Sarah!
Natalie + Tim
We absolutely loved having Sarah photograph our special day! We were so pleased when she came to our house to meet with us, and get to know our wants and wishes for our big day. On the most important day of my life Sarah came to our house again. While the ladies and I prepped with the hair and makeup stylists I remember being so relaxed having her mingle with my family and friends while taking behind the scene shots that later turned out to be the greatest memories. We were so pleased with our entire day and the memories Sarah created for us. We cannot wait to have her photograph future memories for us when we have children.
Emily + Tim
"Sarah was so comfortable & easy to work with since the moment we shared coffee at our house to discuss our big day. We felt confident instantly that she knew exactly what we were looking for & sure enough we were right! We barely knew she was there on the day of our wedding, but Sarah managed to capture every moment perfectly!! We highly recommend Sarah for any event she's beyond talented and will deliver you with the most precious keepsakes to cherish forever!"
Barbara + Wally
It was so fantastic to have Sarah as the photographer for our wedding. I have never felt so at ease in front of a camera! Sarah has a very unique, artistic eye and it shows in her work. She is very professional, but also genuine and extremely kind. My husband and I felt very lucky to have her capture so many wonderful moments on our big day.
Genevieve + Mike
I know everyone "loves" their photographer. But I truly do love mine! Sarah Murray is, hands down, the best person at her trade...you're lucky to have her. I had a small, immediate-family-only wedding, and she surpassed my husband's and my dreams of how to capture our event. Despite how small it was, she made it feel that it was the event of the century. And her artful eye, and therefore photographs, prove it. She never made me pose. She never made me feel uncomfortable. She just quietly existed with her camera and caught all the perfect moments...even the funny ones. She's the best...there's just no other way to put it. Choosing Sarah is more than worth the money because she makes the most important memories for you and saves them in a way that makes you proud to both share with everyone and save forever.
