Best decision I made for my wedding day!

I cannot say enough great things about Sarah and her crew! She is more than just a photographer, she is a wedding expert!! As an out-of-state bride, Sarah made scheduling our engagement photos easy and was able to make it happen during our weekend in town. I knew after seeing the amazing quality of the engagement photos that my husband and I had made the right choice!

When it came time for the wedding, Sarah was the one vendor I knew I didn't have to stress about. She checked in with us several times the week leading up to the wedding and was so organized! The day of the wedding she was by my side, while her second shooter Jeff was with my husband and the men. Sarah was more than a photographer, she was a coordinator for the whole day! She made sure everything was running smoothly, kept us to the timeline, and advocated for my wants and needs when things weren't going as planned. She had whatever I needed on hand-- she was fully stocked with hairspray, bobby pins, safety pins, stain remover, tissues--you name it and she was prepared with it! She checked in on my husband and I during the day to make sure we had time alone and were eating and drinking throughout the day. She was even there to help bustle my dress when others struggled!

Her pictures were absolutely stunning and all came within the promised timeline! She was communicative throughout all of the edits. I could not be happier with my wedding photos!! I ordered a custom wedding photo album from her and it is gorgeous-- she uses the highest quality printer and its evident she cares about the way her photos are displayed.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer don't think twice and hire High Contrast Photography! You absolutely won't regret it!! I have nothing but positive things to say about Sarah and we have remained friends post-wedding!

Wedding Photography

I can’t say enough on how fun it was to work with Sarah and her team on our wedding day. This lady knows what she’s doing and gets business done for sure! I’ve seen her in action previously at a close friend’s wedding and her work was phenomenal. Her photos are so vibrant and capture so much love. It was MUST to have HCP as part of our vendor lineup!

Sarah mainly stuck with my girls and I while Anne ran a tight ship with the guys. Dani was also there to help with absolutely anything we needed. All three of them were outstanding!

One thing that I appreciated the most as a bride was that she checked in with me often and made sure that I was taken care. Meaning that I was eating, staying hydrated, taking time to just relax….literally ALL the things. Even when I started to stress about sticking to the timeline she took the time reassure me that everything was going as planned. She stuck to the timeline, and made each transition so easy.

We could tell that Sarah cared so much about not only capturing the perfect moments for us, but cared even more so about the experience us as a couple should have on our wedding day. I mean it when I say that Sarah provides more than just a photography services. She crafted an oh so perfect day for Wyatt and I. Can’t thank her enough!

Absolutely amazing

We absolutely loved Sarah!
First, she did our engagement photos as part of the wedding package. I had to keep rescheduling makeup and she ended doing it for me, which was fun and she did a great job. She makes the process so fun and clearly loves her job. Then the photographs were beautiful!
Then she was the photographer for our wedding along with basically being my other coordinator. She was always there for advice and guidance. She helped get everyone into position and be organized, keeping everything on perfect timeline. She is extremely experienced, competent, and helpful. She had also helped me a lot with my wedding timeline. I could keep going on.
We both loved her and would love to have her help us capture future milestones.
