Alissa R. Sent on 06/07/2024Sarah is AMAZING!!!
Neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos done, and she made us feel so comfortable immediately. From my first conversation with her, to the actual photo shoots, she was so friendly, professional, and talented! She shot engagement photos for us at the beach, we brought our pup which could have been chaotic, but Sarah guided us and the pup to capture us in our element so perfectly. She had us all laughing, and enjoying the entire thing, it was so fun, and I am in love with the photos! She also shot our small wedding at the courthouse, and was so excellent in guiding us through the entire process all while capturing every beautiful moment I could have imagined. The turn around on the photos was super timely, and the photos are everything we could have wanted. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special moment, I would highly recommend Sarah! -

Book Sarah now!!
My fiance hired Sarah for a surprise proposal photoshoot and a 1-hour engagement session after. Every step of the way, Sarah was excellent! She was quick to respond to my fiance and coordinated everything seamlessly. Once I arrived at the spot, she was discreet to not ruin the surprise. When we finally met for the longer shoot, I was instantly at ease. Taking engagement pictures is awkward- posing, PDA, being overly excited about everything- and Sarah was great at handling everything! She was easy to talk to, had tons of great ideas, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From making sure I could handle certain types of terrain in my shoes to ensuring that my short dress would be fine for any lift photos, she was professional and prepared every step of the way.
Sarah shot our photos on Sunday; by the time we were sitting at dinner an hour later, she had sent us 5 pictures already edited. By Monday we had a gif, and by Thursday we had the entire gallery. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but Sarah's efficiency, professionalism, and outstanding quality made such a difference for us. We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! Thank you so much, Sarah, for being a part of one of the most special days of our lives! -

We love Sarah!!
We just got our wedding gallery back and are on cloud 9 all over again as we relive our wedding day through the pictures that Sarah took. Everything from the details to the party were captured beautifully. We have the best mix of classic posed pictures and fun candids of our guests, which is exactly what I was looking for in a wedding photographer. We can’t wait to print these and share them with our loved ones. Beyond the quality of the pictures, Sarah is the dream vendor to work with. We first worked with her for our engagement shoot, during which she made us feel beyond comfortable and had us giggling which resulted in the cutest photos. Leading up to the wedding, Sarah was always checking in, hyping me up, and sharing advice. On the actual wedding day, Sarah was so organized and prepared and brought the best energy. She is someone who cares deeply about her work and the people entrusting her to capture their big days. She made me feel so special throughout this entire process and I truly couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer. -

Sarah is absolutely amazing. We worked with Sarah to shoot our engagement session, rehearsal dinner and wedding. She captured every moment beautifully and was a pure joy to work with. We had never taken professional photos before but Sarah made us feel very comfortable from the get go. She is also a great director and really knew how to get the best out of us and our family and friends. She is extremely friendly toward everyone she interacts with - all of our guests were raving about how great our photographer was. She even brought over dessert to my elderly grandma who has trouble walking. Throughout the entire process she was very upfront and thorough. If you’re planning on hiring Sarah for your wedding we would highly recommend adding the engagement shoot to get to know Sarah and feel 10x more comfortable on your actual wedding day. As a nice surprise, Sarah included beautiful film photos with the photo delivery. We would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an extremely talented, friendly and passionate photographer. -

Timeless, ELEGANT, Fine Art Wedding Photographer
If I could give 100 out of 5 stars I would. Sarah was my favorite vendor to work with and even the label “vendor” now sounds peculiar to me because she feels more like a FRIEND. First and foremost, her talent is unparalleled. She is a master in her craft. My husband and I take photography very serious as we are both wedding photographers ourselves in Northern California. I vetted and compared many photographers in the SoCal region but in the end we really wanted a timeless, classic and well documented day. Sarah was the perfect photographer for photos that will look elegant for a lifetime. We are so happy with all the moments captured and she made us look and feel like movie stars! Aside from the quality, her communication and turn around time was so quick and she worked with us closely. Sarah is a photographer who cares deeply about her couples and pours her all into each client that books her. I feel so lucky to be a #sarahvendraminibride. Side note: THANK YOU Sarah for always checking in with me on wedding day to ensure I felt beautiful and for your pep talks. You have inspired me. I am forever thankful and your biggest fan -

Sarah is incredible / amazing / the best!
SECOND REVIEW FOR WEDDING DAY:
Sarah is absolutely AMAZING! Not only is she incredibly talented, but a joy to work with! After she took our engagement photos we knew we HAD to have her take our wedding photos. Best decision we made! She has such a knack for being able to capture the love and warmth shared between couples, family, and friends. Sarah is hilarious, fun, patient, and warm - making for a comfortable and unforgettable experience. Our pictures are unbelievable and better than we could have ever imagined!
On the day of the wedding she made it seamless and helped with keeping the flow of the day going. She is efficient and ensures that the bride and groom feel their best and are comfortable at all times. She takes genuine interest in everyone and maintains focus on the love and positivity that the day is about.
She felt like family on the day of our wedding and we couldn’t be more grateful for her wonderful talent. I want to renew our vows annually just so we can get more pictures taken by her! We would recommend her to anyone and everyone, she is truly the best!!!
ENGAGEMENT SHOOT REVIEW:
My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for our engagement shoot! From the very first conversation with Sarah she was personable and professional. My fiancé and I are not from Santa Barbara and Sarah was able to help make wonderful suggestions for shoot locations and vendors. She put all of our stress at ease!
Sarah is an absolutely incredible photographer! She is extremely professional, talented, and a down to earth person. Our photos were everything we could’ve hoped for and more! She had us laughing the entire shoot and really captured all sides of our relationship! It is clear that Sarah is extremely passionate about what she does and cares about the couples she works with.
We have an empty gallery wall in our house that I can’t wait to fill with these photos! The only hard part is picking our favorites because they’re all incredible!! We can’t wait to work with her again for our wedding in August!!! We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone! :)

We could not have selected a better photographer for our intimate courthouse ceremony. Sarah was so kind, prompt, and helped us every step of the way on our special day and prior to. We are so happy with how our photos turned out, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! Highly recommend!

Iris V. Sent on 11/29/2024Sarah Vendramini: Capturing Timeless Memories with Professionalism, Heart, and Skill
If you’re looking for a photographer that will elevate your wedding to the next level, do not hesitate to hire Sarah Vendramini. From the start, Sarah made us feel completely at ease with the entire process. She took great care in understanding our vision and actively collaborated on our list of photography requests. The shooting schedule was ambitious, given the amount of guests we had, but she was able to capture everything in a calm and efficient manner, all while making our guests feel incredibly comfortable. We were truly able to enjoy every special moment of the day with her by our side. Her approach is laser focused yet personable, turning seemingly minor moments into pure magic. To top it off, Sarah worked hard to prepare our gorgeous photos sooner than expected. We’ve received so many compliments from friends and family who felt our photos could easily belong in a magazine! We’re truly overjoyed with the way Sarah captured our special day. She not only documented our wedding as we had hoped, but went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Sarah and hope to collaborate with her again in the future! -

Sarah is the best!!!
Hiring Sarah as our photographer for a last minute elopement in SB was the best thing I could've done! From the start, Sarah was so communicative and knowledgeable about the elopement process, including when and how to sign up for a courthouse appointment, that I knew we were in good hands. Come elopement day when my (now) husband and I met Sarah for the first time, she immediately took charge of what had started off as a stressful day, making us feel completely at ease with her bubbly and warm personality.
Not only does Sarah have a great eye for photography, but she also knows how to direct you to get the best shots! I'm someone who never knows where to put my hands (or honestly any part of my body) for photos, and Sarah made it so, so easy. We've never looked more natural, and the photos came out just how I wanted--intimate and sweet, while capturing the charm and beauty that is Santa Barbara. We're so happy with the photos and with the quick turnaround time and would 100% recommend Sarah as your next photographer for any and all special moments! -

Sarah W. Sent on 06/09/2024Such a great experience!
We had such a great experience with Sarah as our photographer for our Santa Barbara elopement! In additional to amazing photos, she was so helpful and informative answering all of my questions about how the courthouse wedding appointments work and gave a ton of great recommendations for things to consider while planning. Her knowledge and experience gave me confidence going into the day and allowed us to have such a relaxing and great experience despite this being our first time getting professional photos done. I highly recommend Sarah to everyone! -

You NEED Sarah as your photographer!
Sarah is an incredibly talented photographer and we were so lucky to have her photograph our elopement! Not only was she so sweet, she has a way of putting you at ease in front of the camera and gave me all the guidance my awkward self needed to get STUNNING photos! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and how all the photos came out. She also helped choose locations, recommended restaurants and hotels to stay at. Very professional, got us preview photos the very next day and the full gallery in about a week. You NEED her for your elopement/wedding! -

Brianna D. Sent on 05/24/2024Sarah is truly the BEST!
Sarah was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I were so lucky to have her be part of our special day. Sarah is truly the perfect mix of everything you would want in a photographer: she’s easy going, she makes you laugh and be comfortable in front of a camera (and I’m super camera shy!). But she also knows how to take the lead – she’ll tell you how to pose and knows how to get large groups into formation for photos.
Most importantly, Sarah is incredibly talented at what she does! Her passion for photography is evident in every shot she took, and it truly shows in the stunning images we received. She nailed every photo and had an eye for detail – nothing I would have ever even imagined doing! She’s incredibly professional and has one of the quickest response times I’ve ever experienced from start to finish! She provided our entire dream wedding photos with a quick turnaround!
We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. She exceeded all our expectations and provided us with a beautiful collection of memories that we will treasure for a lifetime! If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, look no further than Sarah. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly! -

Above and beyond
We highly recommend Sarah for any couple looking for an engagement/wedding photographer! She is truly amazing. We don’t take photos often so we were worried that we would feel awkward during our engagement session and wedding, but Sarah made us feel comfortable and confident. Not only did we love Sarah, our families did too! They raved during our wedding day and afterwards about how great she was and how gorgeous the photos are. We are not from the Santa Barbara area so we weren’t sure about photo locations - Sarah came ready with beautiful location recommendations. So if you’re coming from out of town, you will be in great hands with Sarah. We are still in awe of our engagement and wedding photos. We can’t even pick a favorite because they are all so beautiful. We can’t thank Sarah enough! 1000% recommend.

You won't regret hiring, Sarah
We absolutely love working with Sarah! She's captured the most breathtaking photos in every stage of our relationship from dating, to getting engaged, and then married.
When we got engaged there was no doubt in our mind that she would be the one to take our engagement and wedding photos. We're still in awe of our epic engagement photos. We've been reliving our big day through the amazing wedding photos gallery. There are so many beautifully posed photos and incredibly special candid moments she captured.
Sarah, thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly! If you're considering hiring Sarah, do it! -

Absolutely loved working with Sarah!
I knew I wanted to get Sarah for my wedding for about a year before my wedding day. Her work is everything that I was looking for: bright, elegant, and timeless photos. Come wedding day, she was so sweet and professional. She knew where the perfect locations are for photos. She helped hold my pup too! I got my photos pretty fast and oh my... they were absolutely beautiful. I love them so much, I spent the next 3hrs just gushing over them. My friends and family were very impressed with the photos as well. I can't recommend Sarah enough. I would love to work with her again in the future. -

Sarah is so gifted and a true professional. Our pictures turned out better than we could’ve hoped for! 100000/10 would recommend her!
