    Sarah Coates Photos was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. They were quick and responsive in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was warm and beautiful, perfectly capturing the joy and intimacy of our special day. They went above and beyond, even following us to the afterparty and continuing to take photos long after the contracted time had ended. We are thrilled with the stunning images that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

  • I would hire Sarah over and over again

    I don’t even have the words to describe how grateful I am to have had Sarah be a huge part of our day. Not only did she take the most IMPECCABLE photos, but she was there throughout the day to help with little things like placing the veil in the right way. She has a knack of catching candidates of some of the sweetest moments that would easily be forgotten if they weren’t captured. She is reliable, thoughtful, a clear communicator, and she got our photos back SO quickly. I could go on about her all day - you will absolutely not regret picking her as your photographer.

    Sarah Coates Photos was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day! From the very beginning, Sarah was incredibly communicative and responsive, which put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of, she was a total professional - running around to capture every moment and going with the flow of our last-minute changes to the schedule. The quality of her work is beyond perfect, with dreamy, magazine-worthy shots that truly captured the joy and beauty of our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the photos and feel so grateful to have found such a talented photographer who was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Sarah Coates Photos for any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience!
