    One of my favorite people ever!

    When you leave a photo shoot (or wedding day) with Sarah you get the feeling that she sees stuff nobody else can see. Having her has our wedding photographer was the best decision I made for my wedding. She told our story in ways only she could. She saw things that I never got to see and saved those moments for us after it was all over. Sarah is not only an amazing photographer and business professionals, but she also is a dear friend and a wonderful person.

    Sarah is not only incredibly professional and skilled at photography, but is also such a sweet person! She is a dream to work with. It was the first time we had been professionally photographed together and she made us feel so at ease really quickly. She picked really unique places for us to shoot and also asked us for suggestions. Her turnaround was very fast for our photo shoot and I was so impressed by the quality of the editing. Sarah's talent blew me away! I feel so lucky to have the gorgeous photos she took of us and to cherish them for a really long time. I highly recommend Sarah. She's a kind soul, hard worker, and just an incredible talent behind the lens.

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Sarah was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She was professional, but laid back to where we both felt comfortable. Our photos are amazing and we have received countless compliments on just how beautiful they are. The photos looks like something from a story book or postcard and I could not love them more! I can’t wait for our next big milestone that Sarah can capture for us.

    When your wedding pictures are a piece of art

    We chose Sarah as our wedding photographer because we appreciated her eye for detail, overall aesthetic and loved that she had experience shooting at our venue. Our engagement shoot was our first ever formal session together so we knew we'd be awkward, but Sarah made us feel so comfortable and captured our expressions effortlessly. When the wedding day came, she rolled with the punches as we had to move indoors last minute, and with the limited area, was still able to capture everything on our shot list without it feeling staged. She helped us break into buildings and walk in the rain to make sure we had the best photos. And we truly did. She will capture what others don't see and her photos make you feel like each picture is an intimate, special moment. Sarah is incredibly talented and the best decision we made! If you want your wedding pictures to truly be a piece of art, hire Sarah.

    The Best. Seriously.

    Working with Sarah was pretty much the only thing I knew I wanted or had a preference about when I got engaged. I'm thrilled to say she exceeded the insanely high bar I had built up for her in my head. Out of all of our vendors, she was by far the one I enjoyed working with the most. She is warm and authentic and that comes across in her photography. It was so important to me and my husband that our wedding felt like a true reflection of who we are as individuals and certainly as a couple- Sarah captured those moments throughout the day better than anyone else could have. On top of her talent, which is clear if you look at her work, she is so professional and on top of things. She got our photos back to us before the time she had laid out despite it being her busiest season she's ever gone through. Finally, I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed Sarah, not only as a vendor but more as a human we got to be around during one of the most stressful times in our life. Sarah, we think you're seriously the greatest and can't wait to work with you in this next season of life :)

    Whoever is reading this- you should hire her- duh.

    She is wonderful!

    We love Sarah and her work! She captured beautiful candid photos for our engagement photos and wedding in a story format. If you want your photos to be a story-telling, candid, and moment-capturing, she would be perfect. From getting ready to wedding party photos to family photos and the wedding/reception, she was so flexible and easy to work with. She is super calm and easy going, which is very helpful when you have a already so many things going on! I highly recommend her to tell your engagement/wedding story!

    Simply the Best

    Sarah went above and beyond from our engagement pictures to the day of our wedding, and every crazy day of planning in between. We could not have dreamed of a better photographer and friend to capture our wedding day. She captured some of the most intimate moments between, not only us, but our friends and family celebrating, too. We love her goal of ‘telling a story’ through her photography! We just love her in general!

    Pictures with Heart

    We are so happy with the work that Sarah did. She really captured the heart of our wedding and we could not be more thankful for that. Her pictures speak for themselves, they are utterly amazing. We get compliments all the time from family and friends on the photos. Not only that, but from the initial meetup all the way to the end Sarah has been superb at communicating with us, which was so helpful when trying to put all the pieces of a wedding together. Again, could not recommend her enough and we are so beyond happy.

    Absolutely amazing

    Hiring Sarah as our photographer was one of the best things we did for our wedding. I cannot express enough how talented she truly is! Sarah is one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and cares so greatly for the work that she does and it definitely shows. One of the first things that really stood out to me was her desire to get to know us as individuals and as a couple in order to help best capture who we are in our photos. Asking questions about what we like to do led us to having our engagement pictures taken at Turkey Run State Park, capturing our love for nature and hiking, which was amazing! Sarah has such a calm, warm personality that makes you feel at ease, which was definitely helpful on our wedding day. She never rushed any photos that were taken or seemed stressed when people became distracted during group pictures. Her skills captured our entire wedding day, while telling our story in its own unique way. You will not be disappointed by choosing Sarah as your photographer!

    The best experience

    Sarah captures my best friends wedding and she did an incredible job. She was professional, organized, and captured everything in such a natural way. The thing we loved most about her is that she let the day unfold naturally, yet she was also able to get all of the necessary shots. She had a wonderful eye and timeless editing!

    Hiring Sarah was probably the best decision we made when planning our wedding day. She was kind, responsive, and so accommodating to my husband and I's busy work schedules in the months leading up to the wedding. She had never seen the venue where our wedding was held, but she arrived a day early and scouted out the most awesome location to take photos of me and my husband.

    When I received the photos I was blown away with how beautiful and perfect they turned out. I seriously spend way too much time looking at them because they are just too perfect. The pictures have brought me and my husband so much joy, as we are able to relive the happiest day of our lives over and over again each time we look at the photos. We will never forget our special day thanks to Sarah. She is such an amazing talent and we would recommend her to anyone.

    Glowing Review!

    It’s been over a year now since Andy and I got married (procrastination is my middle name), and looking back on our wedding day, I can honestly still say that Sarah was one of our favorite people there (that includes guests). Not only does she have a natural gift for capturing all of the emotion surrounding life's most precious moments, but she's just an all around awesome human being. Her gentle nature played a huge part in getting me through the stress of our big day. She planned Andy and my first look better than we ever could've and took charge of our large group without ever coming across as domineering. Before that, throughout the course of Andy and my engagement, Sarah and I shared cake and stories, she put up with my above-mentioned procrastination (and poorly-behaved puppy), and I like to think we developed a friendship. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I only hope that we're lucky enough to have her as a witness to all the big moments life has in store for us going forward as well.

    Where do we begin! My husband and I decided to go out on a whim and choose an out of state photographer, and we were not disappointed! Sarah first blew us away with our engagement photos. She captured exactly what we wanted: genuine interaction between us and a waterfall! That's right she found us a waterfall! We still love those photos so dearly and knew right away we chose the right photographer! On our wedding day, Sarah gave us her 100% attention and efforts the entire time. It was such a relief we didn't have to stress about time. Along with this, she didn't miss a single shot! Seriously, I'm still not sure how she did it, and didn't even have a second shooter for our wedding! We cried when looking at our photos and are still filling them in our home. We would truly recommend Sarah Kriner to everyone. You will end your experience crying with joy, feeling very grateful, and gaining a friend! Thank you Sarah Kriner! We are such a huge fan or your work and simply YOU in general!

    Our wedding was a perfect day, and Sarah was such a huge part of that. Her photos are gorgeous and totally captured the uniqueness of our wedding day.

    When we decided to work together, we held a few phone/skype sessions where we talked over the vision for the day. She was always responsive when I had questions, and gave us some great ideas as well.

    Most important for me was her calm energy on the wedding day - she was totally zen when wrangling groomsman, organizing little kids for family pictures, and making us feel like we were the only people in the room for our couples photos after the ceremony. She stayed so true to the vision we wanted - candid, warm, and beautiful photos of our family and friends.

    I couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the day of the wedding, or for more beautiful photos to treasure forever!

    Sarah is a truly gifted, creative, and purposeful photographer with an attuned eye for detail and emotion.

    We were able to have Sarah capture our engagement photos and wedding day. Our engagement session was so fun and relaxed. It felt like we just went to hang out together. Ladies, even my husband (fiance at the time) had a blast.

    The time between our engagement session and wedding, Sarah worked with us and we got to know each other more. We got coffee about a week before the wedding and we even went out to see our venue because it was close. Entering into our wedding day, I think we both felt known by her and could freely entrust her to capture the day. One thing that I remember most from our experience on that day was her sweet, calm spirit. Like, so calm. It was a gift.

    If you want a photographer who will honestly, and carefully capture the story of your wedding day, Sarah is your girl. In a saturated, over-posed, and "Instagram" industry, Sarah is a beautiful breath of fresh air! She has a beautiful way of embracing YOU as a couple, your personalities, family, and friends. I can't say enough about her.

    She would be a gift on your wedding day!

    Sarah was an absolute JOY to work with. I cannot begin to describe how patient, talented, and kind-hearted she was throughout the whole process. I chose Sarah because of the way her pictures told a story. I didn’t want many posed pictures, as I wanted them to capture little moments throughout the day that I could relive through her work. She did this (and more) and I love looking through my pictures to remember those small, beautiful moments. Sarah fit in perfectly and was an amazing addition to our day. We enjoyed having her there for it all, and received compliments from so many others. Sarah also went above and beyond by meeting up with my husband and I many times to make sure she knew us and could capture our personalities in her photos. She also sent us the most thoughtful care package and letter that brought me to tears. Long story short, you will not be disappointed with Sarah. Her photos are amazing and she is the kindest person I have ever met. Sarah, thank you for capturing every small moment so we can relive them whenever we want!

    Sarah went above and beyond when it came to photographing our wedding and helping with organizing our day. We printed nearly a thousand of our wedding photos because every one of them captured the beauty and joy of our special day. As an artist myself, I highly recommend Sarah's keen artistic eye and the time she takes to edit and put together a story that you can look back on for all the years to come!

    Sarah came highly recommended by a photographer friend, and we would highly recommend her to anyone! Sarah had excellent timing in ensuring she was able to view our venue before the event, and on the day of the event was able to keep everything running along smoothly - very professionally, but perfectly flexible to ideas we had as well. Sarah took the time to find out exactly what I hoped to accomplish with the pictures from the day, and worked to make every shot possible - even with our large families (think 30+ on each side for family photos) and not once seemed flustered. Sarah worked with a second shooter to be sure every moment was captured beautifully, including so many candid shots of moments I would not have thought to catch. They went out of their way to be sure we were comfortable and happy, and the results are amazing - our beautiful day caught in beautiful photography that we can treasure forever!

    Sarah has done photography and videography for me and I can not say how much I have loved her work. She has the ability to beautifully capture even subtle moments and focus on the aspects that matter most amidst a whirlwind wedding day. Sarah will always be my first choice!

    I don't even know where to start with all the good things I have to say about Sarah. When she took my senior pictures a couple of years ago, I barely knew her. What I did know is that I had admired her photography for a long time. Getting to be in front of her camera and watch her work was such a treat - Sarah is a true artist, one hundred percent. The way she sees the world is magical. Since the day we met for her to take my pictures, Sarah has become a really, really dear friend. Her photography has only continued to amaze me. Each shoot or wedding is even better than the last. If you're looking for a wonderful person, an extremely talented artist, and wonderful experience, you'll want to hire Sarah Kriner.

    Sarah was incredible! She was so helpful with any questions or concerns I had and was always flexible and easy to reach. She's calm, creative, and encouraging. Our photos are more than what my husband and I had dreamed up, and it's all thanks to her! The entire family and wedding party found it such a joy to have her a part of the process and the big day. Loved her care and professionalism!

    Make a list of photos prior to your event.

    This is the first time I have written a review. I felt that it was necessary to share my experience. Mind you, I did not hire her. My daughter did. The photographer did make the photos magazine perfect. However, the entire focus was on the bride/groom and the bridal party. Nothing more. She did not capture this moment in history. No photos of the bride with her grandparents. None of the groom and his father. As the mother of the bride, I had no pictures of just my daughter and me, except helping with her dress which made me look as if I was in pain. I had only one photo with my son walking me down the aisle. We asked her to come over to take photos and she seemed to have a separate agenda. No photos of aunts, uncles, cousins or friends. My suggestion, if you plan to use her, make a list of photos you want prior to your event. Sadly, for us, I am not dependant on my friend's photos vs the photographer. Btw, she even had an assistant.

    Sarah Kriner Photography's reply:

    Kay, it makes me so incredibly sad that you feel this was your experience! This is the exact opposite of anything I aspire to be as a wedding photographer and I would never intentionally skip over photos (especially of the grandparents, that's so important). That being said, my priority on wedding days will always be to the bride and groom...and I know they were happy with how they laid out their day, with the photos they wanted me to prioritize (and that I talked through with them before the wedding), and with their final gallery. I would love to make everyone happy, always, but in the end I'm in my couples corner - first and foremost. Definitely feel free to email me with any other questions/concerns you might have, or chat with F+A about what their vision for the day was. x, Sarah
