    Sarah was amazing to work with for the photo shoot with my new fiancé! She showed up on time and captured all of the special moments of this new chapter of our lives. She also did an amazing job editing and providing the photos for us. 10/10

    Sarah Coates Photos was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Sarah was easy to communicate with and was very transparent if she’d be out of touch for any reason. We were anxious about taking engagement photos because we’d never done a professional photo shoot together before but with Sarah it was comfortable and she gave us poses to get some wonderful shots! We are thrilled with the moments she captured. Highly recommend!

  • Amazing!

    Sarah Coates Photos was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. They were quick and responsive in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was warm and beautiful, perfectly capturing the joy and intimacy of our special day. They went above and beyond, even following us to the afterparty and continuing to take photos long after the contracted time had ended. We are thrilled with the stunning images that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

    I don’t even have the words to describe how grateful I am to have had Sarah be a huge part of our day. Not only did she take the most IMPECCABLE photos, but she was there throughout the day to help with little things like placing the veil in the right way. She has a knack of catching candidates of some of the sweetest moments that would easily be forgotten if they weren’t captured. She is reliable, thoughtful, a clear communicator, and she got our photos back SO quickly. I could go on about her all day - you will absolutely not regret picking her as your photographer.
