I was initially drawn to Sarah Canning Photography because of how light, airy, and beautiful her photos were. Once I inquired with her, I was immediately sold. Sarah was so organized, detailed and thorough from the very start. She made the entire planning process so easy and seamless. She gave tips and suggestions for everything from what to wear for engagement photos to what to pack for the wedding day. Sarah also offers the option to have one of her associate photographers photograph your engagement shoot and wedding day for a discounted rate. We decided to go this route and had one of her associates, Ashley, as our photographer. Ashley was so kind, personable, and always made us feel comfortable in front of her camera. She has a ton of experience and is incredibly talented! We were so impressed with how she was able to make the most of our times together and capture as many photos as possible. We received our entire wedding album within a month of our wedding and were blown away by how quick the turnaround time was! All of our photos turned out absolutely stunning--we are SO obsessed with them! We would recommend Sarah Canning Photography to anyone!! -

The absolute best!
There truly aren’t enough positive things to say about our experience with Sarah! From our almost two year process of booking her, taking our engagement pictures, planning together, our wedding day, and everything in between, Sarah was an absolute joy and delight to work with from start to finish. Even from our first conversation with her, Sarah was extremely organized, detail-oriented, and made us immediately feel comfortable and that our investment in her would be worth it. Our first time meeting and directly working with her for our engagement shoot was carefree, lighthearted, and eased any potential hesitations about being in front of the camera or what our pictures would look like in the end. It was so helpful to have some practice with her and a better idea of what to expect on our wedding day, and I loved getting to use the pictures for our save the dates since she prioritized our preferred timeframe even with her packed schedule. Sarah kept great communication with us from the moment we inquired with her up until even after our wedding day. She was so helpful in answering all of my questions and asking the right questions herself, brainstorming ideas, creating our wedding timeline, and even just checking in with us. On our wedding day, Sarah truly felt like a member of my bridal party in the best way! She hyped me and all of my girls and the moms up constantly, kept the environment light and fun, effortlessly maneuvered the whole day capturing everything, and even was the one who hooked my bustle before our reception. Her confidence struck me the most - I loved that I never felt like I had to worry about a single thing and that she had everything under control, which let me just relax and enjoy the day. Plus, her work simply speaks for itself! All of our pictures are so beautiful, we’ve received so many compliments already, and she had sneak peeks to me in 3 days (even on a holiday weekend!) and our whole gallery in just a couple of weeks. I know we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I’m so excited that I get to continue working with her on our wedding album! Choosing Sarah was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I couldn’t recommend her more! -

We got married this past May and I am so thankful that we hired Sarah to capture our special day. Sarah is truly one of the best in the business. Her photography style is absolutely beautiful and her work is just perfection. Sarah was incredibly responsive, kind, and professional from the first time we spoke with her. It was so nice to meet her in person for our engagement shoot and after that experience, we were so confident that our wedding day and wedding photos would be just as wonderful. Sarah is extremely organized and detail oriented, things that any couple can appreciate during the wedding planning process. The day of our wedding, she was excited, helpful, and supportive. It’s a long day, and she did everything she could to make it such a positive experience. Not to mention, our wedding photos were everything we could have hoped for and more. Sarah captured every detail, a lot of our guests, and our true happiness on that day. I can promise you that booking with Sarah will be one of the best decisions you make! -

Sarah is amazing!
I cannot say enough great things about working with Sarah! From our first consult I felt at ease and knew we had to book her. She is so personable and made the planning process super easy and stress free! She gave us so much helpful direction during our photo shoots and made us feel comfortable and confident. She also provided us with an abundance of useful information to know for the day of the wedding so I felt very prepared. She is incredibly talented and the photos are BEAUTIFUL!! I could not be happier that we chose her to capture our special day. She truly is the best in the business and I will forever recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer! I hope to work with her again in the future! THANK YOU SARAH! -

Sarah is simply amazing!
If we had to book a wedding photographer again, we would pick Sarah 100 times over!
When we started our search and came across Sarah’s website we kind of had a feeling we found the right person for us. As soon as we reached out she setup a call so we could get to know each other and the rest is history. From there Sarah went out of her way through the entire process from the contract stage to the engagement photos to the months and weeks leading up to the wedding to make sure all bases were covered and we felt comfortable along the way.
Day of Sarah made sure we got all the shots we wanted. It ended up raining on our wedding day and Sarah still created magic inside and in the rain 😊
We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding photographer experience so amazing! Would highly recommend! -

Jessica Sent on 05/24/2022Sarah is the best in the business!
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with! She's fun, organized, professional, kind-hearted, and extremely detail-oriented. When we had our engagement photoshoot with her, both my (now) husband and I were extremely nervous about how to pose and if we'd look awkward. Neither of us like to take photos, so we knew for sure we didn't know what to do during a whole session's worth of photos! Sarah made us feel so comfortable and confident about posing and taking photos that now whenever anyone takes a photo of us, we know exactly how to pose! All thanks to her! She is so amazing at what she does- from setting up the perfect photo to editing to delivery and all the details in between. She made everything feel so effortless and fun! She is very organized and knows exactly how much time each photo on your shot list is going to take and what the timeline of the day should look like. We were also so pleasantly surprised when she returned our wedding gallery back to us within a few weeks! That was our number one comment from our guests- "Wow! You have a phenomenal photographer! Her photos are incredible, and she got them back to you so quickly." Sarah is truly the absolute best in the business. She wants you to enjoy yourself and have fun, and she will be there to capture it! I am beyond grateful that she was our photographer on one of the most important days of our lives. I would choose her time and time again in any lifetime! -

Best Photographer Ever
Sarah was AMAZING. She is such a professional and knows what she’s doing. She is personable, very organized and easy to communicate with - just a total sweetheart! A wedding photographer is personally one of my most important wedding vendors to book, and Sarah met ALL my expectations. She was just wonderful to work with. The photos she delivered were incredible and we get compliments from everyone. I cannot stop looking at them! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer — and book her early since she is in such high demand!! -

To say I was a scatter brain while planning my wedding is an understatement. I had no idea how much of a help Sarah would be in planning my day! Sarah helped organize my day and special features I wanted involved that were specifically catered to who my groom and I are as a couple. She had every detail ironed out and helped us relax and enjoy the celebration! Sarah also has a personality behind the camera that made it so much easier to be ourselves. She was kind, funny, and personable. We are beyond grateful to have had her be a part of our favorite day and, of course, our second favorite day was the day we got an email of all the photographs she took so we could relive it all again. THANK YOU SARAH🙌🏽 -

Best decision we made!
Sarah is an absolute dream to work with! She photographed my best friend's wedding a couple years prior, and since that day I knew I had to have her photograph my wedding! Her professionalism is unmatched and her photos speak for themselves! Truly the best decision we made for our wedding. We have been getting TONS compliments on our photos! -

Briana V. Sent on 10/15/2020We had the best experience working with Sarah!!
Sarah is absolutely incredible in so many ways!! She photographed my fiance and I's engagement session last fall at Longwood Gardens, and we instantly loved her and felt at ease. Her photos speak for themselves and are absolutely GORGEOUS, and her energy, kindness, and care throughout the whole process was amazing. In our initial search process, Sarah was the only photographer who offered to meet us in person for coffee and really took the time to get to know us as a couple and walk through the process with us. I felt even better going into the engagement photo session knowing how thorough she is! At the shoot itself, she made us feel so comfortable and natural and had us giggling the whole time. We absolutely love how our photos turned out. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding, and are no longer able to work with Sarah for our wedding date, which I was so devastated by. However, Sarah has approached this whole situation with so much grace and poise, and has been so patient and accommodating. We were lucky enough to be able to have a mini session with Sarah around the time of our original wedding date, and we were so happy we got to work with her again!! Working with Sarah is truly like working with a friend, and we will cherish the photos she took for us forever. -

We LOVED working with Sarah Canning!
My fiancé and I had only booked our church ceremony before 1) he deployed with the Navy a month later and 2) COVID-19 hit the US a month after that. We knew before he deployed that we would be making our big decisions (reception venue, caterer, DJ, and, of course, photographer) via email, but I wasn’t expecting that I wouldn’t even be able to go see any potential venues or meet any potential vendors in person. As many other COVID wedding couples can probably attest to, that made me very nervous. I found Sarah, among other potential photographers, on Instagram, and from my first phone call with her I was sold (the glowing reviews online also helped me feel good about choosing her). The other photographers I spoke with did not leave me feeling as confident and supported and optimistic as she did, even as she was dealing with much more urgent rescheduling issues and even though I had not actually booked her yet. Choosing to book Sarah was the quickest and, in retrospect, best decision we made for our wedding, aside from deciding to get married! After we booked her, over the next few months I saw stories on her Instagram that she only had a few slots left for the 2022(!) wedding season and I was amazed that we were able to book her for summer 2021. After working with her for our engagement shoot and wedding and receiving our wedding photos (a month and a day afterwards – I don’t know how she got our ~1000 photo gallery finished that soon, with weddings to shoot basically every weekend!), I feel so incredibly lucky that we were able to get on her calendar.
Sarah met us for our engagement shoot on a very cold December day in Valley Forge since that was the only time my fiancé and I would be in the area before summer 2021, and even though it was our first time meeting and it was freezing, our photos turned out like she had been working with us forever and I even managed to forget how cold I was with all of the (natural) laughing and smiling that happened! She put us both at ease and told us when we needed to tilt our head or move a hand for a more natural-looking photo, which I definitely needed help with. Knowing how Sarah operated and knowing we loved our engagement photos and experience with her as we approached our wedding date pushed a huge potential source of stress off of our plates. We felt confident that whatever happened on July 10th, whatever percentage of our original guest list was allowed to celebrate with us and however many photos would be taken with masks on and covering smiles due to local restrictions, it would all be beautifully documented, and we were right. Our wedding day felt like a fairytale in the moment, and Sarah was able to capture that happiness and joy with her camera and convey it in our photo gallery. She directed shots again, from telling us to move an arm for a more natural pose or take a step to the side for a better background to even seamlessly pinning back a piece of my hair that kept falling into my face in the breeze (it seriously looked like it was supposed to be that way the whole time). But producing a stunning product for a very fair price isn’t enough for Sarah; we had family and friends telling us that our photographer was so nice to chat with and so funny and so efficient (this came from some recently-married couples/bridal party members who didn’t work with Sarah!), and it put a huge smile on my face to hear that my husband and I weren’t the only ones who liked working with her. As an added bonus, her second shooter for our wedding was absolutely lovely and they were on the same page the entire day. Sarah clearly communicates well with her second shooters, not only with her couples.
If you have made it this far, let the length of my review be a testament to the fact that I cannot say enough good things about Sarah! Book her (and don’t wait!) so you can focus your wedding decision-making energy elsewhere. -

Don’t think twice - book now!
We used Sarah for our engagement photos and wedding at The Farm at Eagles Ridge and she is absolutely the best of the best!! Sarah quickly became a friend, not just a photographer. She is extremely talented, organized, timely, and a ray of sunshine for your big day! Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and she bends over backwards to make your day stress-free. We truly could not have dreamed of a better photographer and partner. We also used sarah for our album and she made it so easy!! We absolutely love all of our photos. Don’t hesitate to book!! You’ll be so happy you decided to use Sarah. -

Sarah is the absolute best photographer! She is so accommodating and was so understanding and patient when I had to postpone multiple times. From our engagement pictures to our wedding day we had the absolute best experience. Her pictures are absolutely stunning and speak for themselves. She is organized and makes a great schedule to make sure you get all the pictures you want on your special day. She knew the best locations to take pictures and helped me with the day of planning schedule to make sure my day went perfect. Sarah is absolutely amazing and definitely made wedding planning much easier knowing I was in great hands having her as my photographer! -

There are not enough positive adjectives to describe how we feel about our experience with Sarah. I reached out to probably 20+ photographers and I could not be happier with our decision to use Sarah as our wedding photographer. Our entire experience with Sarah from our engagement photo shoot through to delivery of our wedding photos has been seamless. Sarah knows how to capture the moment and make every picture one worth framing. She provided clear direction to get the right shots but made us and our wedding guests feel comfortable the entire time. These pictures are ones we will cherish forever and we are so thrilled with every step of the process with Sarah. Not only were we thrilled with the process during shooting, she provided us back our pictures quickly and in a format that made it so easy to share and download. I can 1000% guarantee that picking Sarah as your wedding photographer will not be one that you regret. -

Wow....just WOW ! Sarah captured our day so beautifully and perfectly. We could’t be happier with how everything turned out. Our wedding day flew by but thanks to Sarah, we get to go back to those moments through our beautiful photos. She literally captured every detail. I loved getting to see all of the details I missed the day of.
Our venue did not have many places to take photos, however Sarah made it look like we were all over. All of our photos have so much variety to them. I was really excited about all of the candid photos Sarah took of us and our guests at the reception. I kept saying to my husband “do you think everyone had a great time” after seeing the reception photos, I have no doubt in my mind everyone had a blast! It was so fun looking through them.
Sarah made the entire process so easy, she was so helpful and we loved working with her. Our photos are so genuine, she captured us and the emotions of the day so beautifully. I highly highly recommend !! My husband and I hope to work with her in the future for more milestones we make together.
Sarah, THANK YOU so much! We appreciate everything you did for us. -

Sarah exceeded all expectations!
Contact Sarah now!!! She is truly the best photographer. We loved working with her from the moment we met. Our engagement photos were beautiful and our wedding photos...absolutely stunning. All of our friends and family are still gushing over them nearly a month later! And that's right- she got our photos back to us so quickly after our wedding. She actually sent us a few the day after too! Aside from being an extremely talented photographer, Sarah is the sweetest human and will just enhance every moment on your wedding day. She pinned all of the groomsmen's boutineers, she placed my veil in my hair, and she just made everyone feel comfortable while taking pictures. I can't recommend her enough. This profession is definitely her calling and I feel so lucky to have worked with her! -

Allison R. Sent on 05/11/2021You need to hire Sarah! Best photographer EVER!
We can say so many positive things about Sarah!! Sarah is flexible, professional, TALENTED AS HELL, and truly an overall wonderful person to work with. Sarah traveled two hours to do our engagement shoot in the location we hoped for and went out to dinner after with us! She felt like a friend from the start. My husband and I finally got married on April 10th, 2021 at French Creek Golf Club in Elverson, PA after postponing 10 months due to COVID. She was so empathetic and did whatever she could to help us through postponing, making it so much easier on us. She then continued to keep in communication, worked with us to create a timeline specific for our day to ensure we got every shot we wanted, and always gave incredible expertise. She's funny and honest, which takes any stress away that you have! We loved how calm and helpful she always was while planning and on our day. Lastly, she is efficient. We received all of our photos back wayyyy ahead of schedule from the wedding and our engagement shoot. She worked alongside our vendors so well and we are absolutely thrilled we chose her as our wedding photographer! She's amazing!! Her work is impeccable and we will forever be grateful for the memories she's given us through her art! -
