Sarah was an amazing photographer! I don’t think we could have picked a better person for our big day and engagement photos. Sarah made our wedding day a calm one due to her professionalism, and engaging personality. Both my husband and loved our photos and she made us feel so comfortable during the whole picture process! I would 100% recommend her to friends/family. She also gives amazing recommendations for vendors/wedding details!

Sarah was wonderful to work with! Sarah did our engagement and wedding photos and I could not be happier with how both of them came out. She is so creative, had a lot of great ideas and made us feel so comfortable. She captured all of our little moments, especially candid ones and I am beyond grateful for that. I would highly recommend Sarah Gates Photography for anyone looking for a fun, talented and professional photographer!

I was recommended by a friend to use Sarah for my wedding and it was the best decision I could have made. She has been great to work with, very professional, and extremely talented. We will definitely be hiring her for all of our future photo shoots!

Sarah is the ultimate professional with an added bonus, an amazing, friendly personality. Her attention to detail and calming personality made our day beyond special. The final results speak for themselves!

Sarah was such a great photographer for our NYC engagement shoot and wedding photos in Vermont, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. She is a great communicator, helping us plan leading up to both photoshoots and put us at ease knowing we had someone so capable in charge of photography. We wanted the true Vermont foliage to be the main focus of our wedding and she nailed it!

Amanda was a second shooter at our wedding, she was incredible being a support to Sarah and also capturing important shots and helping with props like using our biodegradable confetti for one of our favorite shots! We’re so grateful for the creativity and the amount of work both did for us and will cherish the memories for the rest of our lives.

Highly recommend! Sarah was responsive and put us at ease starting with the first communication. Her work is absolutely beautiful, and she captured every important detail from our wedding day. Sarah was a calming presence throughout the wedding planning process and the day. She got both our engagement and wedding pictures to us very quickly!

Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with! She is very responsive and helpful with any and all wedding related or photography questions you may have leading up to and after your big day. I feel lucky to have worked with her and we will cherish our wedding pictures for a lifetime. She captured our day perfectly and you can feel all of the emotions through the pictures. Our friends and family are also blown away by her work. Sarah is so much more than a photographer to us now. She is a friend for life ❤️

Sarah is an absolute gem of a photographer, we can’t say enough about her! Our family had the pleasure of shooting with her for our wedding and a mini Valentine’s Day shoot. Both experiences were so professional and fun! She’s great with kids and every photo turned out beautiful. She’ll definitely be our go-to for future events!

Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with! We found Sarah online on one of the wedding websites and reached out to her with a wedding date just a few months away. We were very impressed by her organization, timeliness in responses, and coordination before the big day. We were nervous to work with someone who we hadn’t been able to meet in person, especially since we lived far away but Sarah set up a Zoom meeting right away which helped us to be more confident in our decision to work with her. The day of the wedding could not have been more perfect and Sarah played a large role in the day. Sarah fit in so well with our small group and was natural in jumping in to take both posed and candid shots. Sarah was up for anything and was happy to capture some fun, adventure moments that were true to our personalities. Sarah knew our style without even having to tell her too much. She seemed to somehow know what we would be comfortable with, and what we would enjoy seeing photos of! We were very happy with how quickly Sarah got a few “sneak peek” photos over and then shortly after had all the photos finished. Looking through the photos captured by Sarah preserves the magic of the day. We will have these beautiful photos which align perfectly with our memories of the day for the rest of our lives together.

From start to finish Sarah was amazing! She did a beautiful job on both the engagement photos and wedding photos! I have never had professional photos done before getting married and was a little camera shy at first, but she did such a great job making us feel relaxed and comfortable! She was always easy to reach and answered all my questions throughly and timely! Sarah was very flexible with her schedule and would work to help find time for us (safely) even during a pandemic. She helped make the wedding day so seamless while capturing our day! Since we got married in 2020 we had quite a hard time planning and dealing with the stress 2020 had to bring. On that note, Sarah took time to do an extra photo shoot with my grandmother who was unable to attend the wedding due to covid. The photo shoot was soooo special for her and I and I absolutely cherish the pictures that were taken! One of my favorite things about her photos is how she captures the natural beauty and helps to enhance photos without making them look overly edited. I know I’ll be looking back on these beautiful photos for a lifetime!!

Sarah is THE BEST photographer! I really could not have asked for anyone better than her!

She was able to fit me into her schedule last minute, and she made sure that the time I spent with her was worth every second! I came into town for a short visit and messaged her with a couple of inspiration shots for some graduation photos. Not only did she meet every criteria I was looking for, she exceeded them by all means. She was helpful with poses, locations, additional props, etc! She also was extremely fun/friendly and made the entire shoot so incredibly comfortable!

She was able to get my photos back to me within a day or two, and EVERY single shot was incredible! I keep going back and finding more and more shots to fall in love with!

Everything about Sarah and her photos is THE best! After having taken my photos with her, I can’t imagine shooting with anyone else! Thank you again!

Sarah has taken our family photos for the last 2 years! She has captured the energy and sweetness of our young children and captured beautiful images and moments that will be priceless to us forever.
Sarah is a pleasure to work with; she is extremely responsive with communication/ scheduling and is easy going and friendly. Her turnaround time to send edited images was unbelievabley fast.
We really cannot speak highly enough of her work. My husband and I are thrilled and look forward to working with her again.

Sarah was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding. From when we first sat down to talk about how we envisioned our big day to when the day finally arrived, she was kind and truly helpful! She was able to capture the heartwarming moments without us even knowing she was there. I will forever hold onto the picture of my husband and I laughing at the table. It’s a beautiful moment that would happen like any other day, but captured with heart and simplicity. I would recommend using her for any event!

Sarah was absolutely wonderful to work with for our
wedding this June, super nice and very responsive. We are two awkward people and I (bride) am not the most photogenic, and she made it fun and relaxing. We were able to do all of our photos on the wedding day fairly quickly and without much fuss. She also did our engagement photos, and not only was there a quick turnaround, they also looked great. I would highly recommend her for wedding (and other!) photography.

Sarah photographed my outdoor fall wedding and I can’t recommend her enough. I think as a bride, the best people to hire are the people you won’t need to worry about. Sarah was punctual, responsive and had an incredibly fast turn around with the photos. They all came out SO amazing. She took two awkward unphotogenic people and provided us with a collection of photos where not only do we want to hang something up, but we’re having trouble deciding which one. A++++++

Sarah is so easy going and refreshing to be around. She takes the stress out of family photos and has helped us turn it into a fun family tradition that we look forward to every year!

Sarah is awesome! The pictures she has shot for my family have all come great. She’s extremely patient with all of us, and is flexible for scheduling and location. We’ll definitely only have her do any pictures that we plan in the future.
— Christian S. Aug. 6th 2018

Amazing! Highly recommend!

Sarah is so wonderful to work with, we really couldn’t have asked for a better person to photograph our wedding.
We both tend to shy away from being in front of a camera but Sarah made us feel extremely comfortable. In fact, most of the time we didn’t even realize we were being photographed! She has such an artistic eye which made our photos feel truly magical.
Beyond our wedding day, from our first meeting to delivering our photos, she was extremely professional from start to finish. We cannot recommend her enough!

Sarah is nice and easygoing. With several discussions (even ONE face-to-face), she suggested the best shooting time and amazing locations in downtown Boston. The session is smooth and joyful. There are more than a hundred edited photos (basic touch up with vintage feeling) :D SIMPLY AMAZING!
