    Working with Sarah Coates was a wonderful experience. Sarah's communication style was professional, clear, collaborative, efficient, and informative throughout the entire process. Her skilled, experienced, detailed, and talented approach resulted in visually appealing, upscale photos that we will cherish forever. Sarah provided clear posing instructions and ensured we captured all the key moments. She was kind-hearted, soft-spoken, and extremely intelligent, which put us at ease on our special day. We are so grateful to have had Sarah capture our wedding in such a beautiful way.

    Loved working with Sarah! This is my third time working with her as she did the photography for my s/o graduations. She was amazing for our wedding! Communication was easy and she understood the vision that I was looking for!

    Sarah shot my engagement photos and she is booked for my wedding as well. She has been very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly to my initial inquiry. During the shoot she did a great job making us feel comfortable, giving us direction, and she was really helpful picking out a good spot for the shoot. I sent her some inspo pictures and she NAILED IT. I would definitely recommend her for anyone! I have nothing but positive things to say.

    Sarah Coates Photos was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our initial communication, she was polite and helpful, taking the time to understand our specific photography needs and vision. On the day of the wedding, Sarah was detailed, creative, and captured the essence of our special day beautifully. She perfectly posed everyone and brought my photo inspiration to life, making our wedding look exactly like something off my Pinterest board. The final photos are truly stunning and we couldn't be happier with the value of their services. We highly recommend Sarah Coates Photos to any couple looking for a talented wedding photographer who will not just give you basic photos!!
