    Amazing experience!

    We are thrilled with Sarah's documentary-style photography for our big day. From start to finish, her professionalism and responsiveness were outstanding. Leading up to the event, she addressed all our concerns, putting us at ease and was more than willing to chat in detail about the timeline of the day.

    On the big day, Sarah seamlessly captured candid moments, making us and our guests feel comfortable. The result was a collection of stunning, natural photographs that beautifully tell the story of our celebration.

    We can't praise Sarah enough for her talent and warm demeanor. If you want a wedding photographer who combines skill with a personal touch, Sarah is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

    The BEST wedding photographer EVER!

    Sarah was an absolute joy to work with. We had a small wedding and she worked with us to create a package that perfectly fit our needs. Through our consultations and meeting her on our wedding day she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Sarah is professional, easy going, welcoming, and fantastic to work with. She gave me and my husband great direction when taking our wedding portraits and helped manage everyone in our large group photos. We got our sneak peek photos just a few days after our wedding and they were beyond gorgeous.
    Every photo perfectly captures every moment of our day. Multiple family and friends have asked for her name as they want to book her for future family photos.

    Gorgeous photos, amazing photographer

    Sarah did our engagement photos and wedding photos. She was a kind and calming presence, and did an amazing job. She captured all of our special moments and more.

    Amazing Wedding Photographer

    Sarah was fantastic to work with and our photos turned out amazing! We were so happy with them and could not have asked for anything more to capture our wedding day experience. Sarah met with us several times leading up to the wedding to discuss details and shared a gift with us including a sweet note and vow books that we used on our wedding day. On the wedding day, Sarah was fantastic to work with. We enjoyed our time with her. Thank you Sarah!

    Sarah is the best!

    We couldn't give Sarah a stronger recommendation to be your photographer! From the moment we met Sarah, through receiving photos after the wedding, we couldn't be more pleased that Sarah agreed to work with us! To start off, Sarah's photos are outrageously gorgeous and special! Her portraits are absolutely stunning, and her candid shots are unmatched. We really feel Sarah captured who we are (and who our friends and family are) through her unique ability to capture truly genuine, candid moments throughout the day.

    Beyond the photos, Sarah was an absolute joy to work with. Posing for pictures can feel strange, but Sarah's kind demeanor immediately puts people at ease. She is incredibly helpful in hearing our ideas and using her knowledge to find the perfect spot for the perfect moment -- it's almost like she could read our minds! Through the whole process, Sarah was super flexible with us in ensuring our big day was perfectly captured. We highly, highly recommend Sarah to help with your wedding!

    Would pick Sarah again & again!

    Meeting Sarah and getting to know her through our wedding planning process has been a bright spot in 2020! She was incredibly flexible, calm and reassuring when covid changed our engagement shoot and wedding plans multiple times. She sent us the most thoughtful little gift box after we signed our contract. During our engagement shoot she made my not-photo-loving husband feel comfortable in front of the camera! She listened carefully to what mattered to us, and did a beautiful job capturing our personalities in the pictures. After our 'minimony' ceremony, Sarah navigated us to some of her favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria, and even though we had never been there before, she managed to make it look & feel like us!

    The day after our ceremony, when Sarah sent our sneak peek of photos, I started crying tears of joy! The whole day before had been a beautiful (and somewhat stressful) whirlwind, but as soon as I saw the pictures, and the way that Sarah captured our love, I immediately felt the lingering stress melt away. Sarah is incredibly talented and fun to be around-- I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Better than we could have imagined

    Sarah was amazing. From our first discussion, she was wonderful and professional (but not at all pushy). She helped us craft a plan that stayed in our budget and produced hundreds of incredible pictures of a small, private ceremony and a second day of a larger reception. Her documentary style captured the unique feelings of both days. She put together a sneak peek in less than a day from our ceremony so we could display it at the reception. People raved about her work at the reception. She was wonderful to have around and spend time with; we spent a good bit of our actual wedding day with her taking photos around the District. Seeing picture from our reception and ceremony, I didn’t even realize she was there most of the time. She was able to capture amazing photos while not taking away from what was going on and allowing everyone to stay in the moment. In addition to all this, we had some major life events in the months before our wedding and changed the date twice. She was flexible, understanding, and incredibly supportive as we dealt with some difficult times. I wish I had more events for Sarah to photograph!

    So Glad We Went With Santa Ana

    We went with Santa Ana photography for our engagement and wedding photographs, and we could not be happier. Sarah was a pleasure to work with, and our photographs came out looking better than we could have imagined.
    She did our engagement photos in Alexandria, an area she appeared to know pretty well. The locations she chose to shoot at were diverse and gave us a good range of photos. We did our first look at the National Portrait Gallery, which was a beautiful experience that I will never forget.
    The photos of our wedding day themselves were also great. Somehow Sarah managed to get good photos of virtually ever guest there which was quite an achievement because we had a pretty big wedding.
    In short, Santa Ana photography was everything we could have hoped for and more. Save yourself a lot of stress and go with Santa Ana!

    Wedding photos are fun with Santa Ana Photography!

    It's a given how great a job Sarah did, but what really stood out was how she did her job. She was prompt, on-time, courteous, professional, all that. But also she had a great way of getting the kids...and parents...into shots by making it a fun, group activity. I'd been previously married, and the photographer for that wedding was like your dad barking orders at you. This was more like a friend getting everyone together. Aside from that, she helped out with things way out of her scope of her duties...a little wedding coordination, a little helping the bride get dressed. And the engagement session before was a great way to get familiar with her and how she worked. All I can say is we were extremely pleased with Sarah. Thanks again!

    Beyond Fantastic

    Sarah was amazing. At the end of our wedding everyone who isn’t already married was asking for her information from us! She puts off this amazing, welcoming energy that people just radiate to! One of our nonnegotiables was photo/photographer. We were very nervous about who we hired because when the day is over the photos are all you have! My wife and I were so happy with how she was on top of everything before the ceremony, during the ceremony, taking personal photos, dinner, reception, and so on. I am telling you that if you do not hire Sarah for your photographer needs you are truly missing out. She is beyond fantastic!

    Santa Ana Photography's reply:

    Thank you for such an awesome review! You were both so fantastic and had such an beautiful day! Your love for each other was contagious and you could tell that everyone at your wedding felt it!

    The icing on our cake!

    Such an artistic, and creative photographer to work with. The only downfall is that she was able to capture so many beautiful moments from our special day, that picking out our favorites was practically impossible!

    Sarah is absolutely amazing. She was the photographer for our June 2015 wedding. We initially had engagement photos done with another photographer, but just didn't get the right feeling during the session or when we received the pictures. We reached out to Sarah after our poor experience and she was a god send! Her personality is amazing and she makes you comfortable from the moment you meet her. On the wedding day, it is hard for someone to make you feel comfortable when you're in a one-bedroom hotel suite with five bridesmaids + two moms + four hair/makeup artists, but Sarah was perfect. We were so comfortable, it didn't even feel like we were being photographed. Pre-wedding, she was also very accessible and had great communication to make sure we got all of the pictures we wanted on the big day. Our ceremony, reception, family, and detail photos turned out better than I could have imagined and it's all thanks to Sarah's photojournalist style and eye for detail. She is tremendous and I will be calling her for baby bump pictures in the future! When my now husband and I looked through our wedding pictures and album, he even commented on how much fun it was and how he wants to get married again! Sarah was able to capture that feeling in our photographs.
