Sarah Fischback Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Stanford, CA

With a sparkling new ring on your finger & your dream venue secured - it's time to choose who you will entrust to capture the moments you will cherish forever. My name is Sarah and I am the head photographer at SFP. I have a love of working in natural light & creating bright, timeless & true tone images.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: Sarah Fischback photography was perfect for our wedding! She worked with us every step of the way, had contingency plans and made our wedding day perfect. Why/what we chose: We booked her about a year out from our wedding in May 2024. We wanted someone who was local, with a great portfolio, and wasn’t a chain with multiple sites and a huge staff. She was flexible with the contract as we decided what we did and didn’t want. We decided on 1 photographer for 8 hours, 1 photographer for 6 hours & 1 videographer for 6 hours with an 8-10 min video of the day, plus a hard drive of pictures & footage. Leading up: We made payments in 3 installments over that year. We filled out a form which laid out specific shots we wanted, timeline for the day, and choose music for the video. 1 month before the wedding we had a phone call with Sarah directly to discuss all the plans. She answered every question we had and took great notes on a spreadsheet that she shared with us. She also told us that she was pregnant and would be due sometime soon after our wedding so she was planning to have the second photographer stay longer to help out in case she couldn’t do certain things, at no charge to us. The only “problem”: A week before the wedding Sarah texted us that she had gone into labor. This could easily have been one of those stressful last minute wedding issues, but she had an organized, thorough, and thoughtful contingency plan. She had her secondary photographer become the primary, and had another individual as her secondary. She filled them in on the plans of the day and everything was still a go! And Sarah still edited our photos. It was a bummer we wouldn’t have Sarah there, but given how everything had gone so far we trusted her and hoped for the best! Wedding day: The bridal party was met by Sara Fischer (our new primary) at a nearby hotel right on time for all the getting ready shots! Sean (secondary) arrived with Jose (videographer). They started with shots of the venue and groomsmen getting ready. The ceremony started and they just sort of blended in with the crowd, it was great! We didn’t have a wedding planner for making sure we were on time, but the photographers helped with this (not their job but super helpful). The reception went really well too! They worked hard and I hope I gave them a break to have some food as the day really got away from me! One of the other great things was I had a film camera and wanted some film photos and Sean took a bunch with it for me and I really appreciated that (I bought the film, developed, & scanned them & Sarah did edit some of them). Sara, Sean, and Jose were absolutely delightful people to have at the wedding and seemed truly happy to be there. Photo reveal: 2 weeks after the ceremony we got 8 sneak peaks and gave some feedback on coloring and lighting preferences! 8 weeks after the ceremony we got our photos! I honestly love every single photo they took! Absolutely no duds! Our video was 9 minutes long and beautiful! It is amazing to see all these shots of us and our guests, especially from times I didn’t even notice the cameras. Final thoughts: I cannot recommend Sarah Fischback enough. She did so much for us and made our day very special. I know the photographer is one of the most expensive parts of the wedding, but Sarah far exceeded my expectations and it was well worth it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Angela and Michael are amazing and I am so happy we hired them. They photographed my friend's wedding and when I saw her pictures, I absolutely had to have them do my own. They are incredibly kind and are there not to just take your pictures, but to make sure your wedding goes smoothly. Angela is a pro at kindly but firmly getting the people you want pictures with rounded up and focused so you can be sure to get all your pictures with the people who matter to you and still have time to enjoy the reception with them. Wedding nerves? Angela will step in and help calm you down. I'm convinced she is a superhero. Michael was on the train with the wedding party after the ceremony and when the champagne and shenanigans started and was very kind while the wedding party got a little silly. Anyway, hire Angela. You will not regret it.

Deanna was truly the most amazing photographer for our wedding! Neither my husband nor I had ever taken professional photos before, and to be honest, we’re both pretty awkward and camera-shy. But from the moment we booked her, she made the whole experience feel effortless. She even offered an engagement session, which helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. By the end of it, we were blown away by how beautiful the photos turned out—far beyond what we had imagined! On the wedding day, Deanna was more than just a photographer; she was a calming presence amidst all the excitement and nerves. Her ability to guide us through poses felt so natural—never forced or uncomfortable. She has such an incredible eye for capturing genuine moments, and the photos reflect that in every frame. Deanna didn’t just document our wedding; she became a friend along the way. I can’t express how much we appreciate her talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’re already looking forward to working with her again for future milestones and photo sessions. Thank you, Deanna, for capturing our special day so perfectly—we couldn’t have asked for more!

Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it.

Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip!

After we booked her, she scheduled a planning meeting with us one week before our wedding date. I loved that she enjoyed getting to know us as a couple and our love story and gave us tips on poses and where to get my bridal bouquet. On our wedding day, Jade arrived early and greeted us, super excited to photograph our wedding. She was very knowledgeable in where to go for the best photos and suggested many poses for us to try. She was also very attentive to our needs and energy levels and checked in with us often as it was a busy day. It took about 2 months for us to receive the photos and we are in love with them. They captured our sweetest moments and brought us right back to our wedding day. Lastly, you can tell how passionate Jade is as a photographer by the way she talks about photography and capturing wedding moments. Thank you, Jade, for your hard work and dedication to our wedding photos. We will enjoy them for a lifetime and we hope to work with you again in the future! :)

Hi! I’m Azaria. I am a Northern California-based Travel Wedding and Elopement photographer. How did I get here? I grew up in small-town Nebraska with a love for adventure and photography. I got to explore those passions when I got married, my husband joined the military, and we got stationed overseas. I used that opportunity to travel and see many countries. When we returned stateside, I pursued my passion for photography by getting my degree at Brooks Institute of Photography.

Azaria not only delivers a beautiful product, but she is a beautiful person inside and out. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable. My husband and I booked her for a wedding vow renewal in the California Redwood forests. Originally we went with her because she knew the area and could help navigate us during the day (plus her instagram was proof of her skills!), we ended up getting so much more. She recruited her husband David to stand in as our "officiant" (even though we're already married), and the care and attention to detail he took made the ceremony so much more sacred. It was his energy that truly led the vows. Azaria spent all day with us and creatively had us posing and positioned behind the most spectacular scenery. She thought of all the things I didn't: maps, cell service, comfy shoes, jackets, and more. She truly gives her whole energy to your event. We had several zoom meetings leading up to our travels she makes herself available for all ideas or questions. I was surprised when she told me how many clients she works with annually because my husband and I felt like we were the only ones- her attention to detail and talent are outstanding. I'm grateful to have had her shape and capture our day.

Courtney is the reason why we love Photoflood Studio so much! It's so important to feel comfortable and happy with someone that is going to capture one of the most important days of your life, and Courtney really goes above and beyond to really get to know you as a person and as a couple. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable and to just be yourself. (And I think that's key to a perfect picture.) Another great thing about Photoflood Studio was how professional and thorough they are. They reminded us of things we didn't even know we had to do and always checked in on us and made sure we were on track. Obviously the photos came out great~ but what makes Photoflood so special are the people involved. We were so lucky to have her not just as a photographer but also as a friend to talk to or ask for advice throughout the whole wedding planning process. She is an amazing photographer but also just an amazing person! Also shoutout to Jackson- we love you too! Thank you!

Hi I'm David! Professional Wedding Photographer, snowboard-bum at heart, proud Dog Dad 🐾, and husband to my wonderful wife, Phoebe. I started White Umbrella Photography for the same reason most people would start their own business, to pursue my passion and experience more out of life. And so far it's been an honor to capture such intimate and honest moments. I've laughed, shouted for joy, and even cried for a lot of the couples I've worked with, all from behind the camera. I really do find myself smiling ear to ear after each wedding, being reminded of how rad it is to love someone and be loved in return.

We were so impressed with David as our photographer! He was great when we had our meeting before and amazing on the day! We had a lot of disappointments with our wedding but David was 100% our favorite vendor. We are in love with the photos we got back, the editing was beautiful and we are so glad to have so many special moments captured. HIGHLY recommend!!
