Sarah was our photographer for our Napa wedding. She came highly recommended from a friend. She and her assistant stayed over in the house were we married. She photographed all the details for two days which was pretty unusual and special. I felt very comfortable in her presence and we were able to really capture some behind the scenes stuff I didn't expect. It was amazing. She was professional and meticulous but more so, you could feel she was striving for something artistic. And it showed in the final images and the album I will ALWAYS treasure. I absolutely love Sarah and would recommend her to anyone.

Sarah Jane photographed my sisters wedding and I really liked the pictures and how she treated my sister and our family. And she did not disappoint when it came to my big day! Easily the best experience I've ever had with a photographer. Very friendly, sweet and super talented at her craft. Also it felt different having a female photographer, I was very comfortable with her in my changing room, getting into my dress, and being with my bridesmaids. I welcomed the female energy. We will treasure our album and pictures for the rest of our lives, I simply cannot recommend her enough.

Sarah Jane was so wonderful to work with! My husband and I can be quite camera shy and she made us feel so at ease. We loved her creative eye and are so happy with our wedding photos!

My wedding day was made even more special thanks to my amazing photographer Sarah. I was able to have the wedding I dreamed of ... Sarah is an ace doing all the candid/ in the moment shots, took her time coming up with originally romantic poses, all the little moments that live in my memory that I didn't want to forget; she got on camera. It's almost like she knew exactly the things I wanted to remember forever. I'm happy to recommend her to any of my family and friends.

I was really late to deciding if I wanted a photographer. Sarah blew away my expectations. I was worried the photos were not going to come out great because it was so dark, but they came out beautiful. She worked with what I wanted. She was very professional and I felt like she listened to what I wanted. She is awesome.

Just wanted to leave a quick review for our photographer Sarah Jane on Oct 19th.We had Sarah Jane as our wedding photographer and could not have been happier with the experience. This was a very unconventional wedding since we did not do many of the traditional things associated with weddings. We also had a special situation with the bride which I will not into detail but Sarah Jane handled it delicately and respectfully. Sarah Jane did encourage us to take posed pictures which my wife and I are not fans of but I'm glad she did. Overall Sarah Jane was very personable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend her.
