    We were so impressed with Editorial Wedding Photographer - Sarah Coates from the moment we first reached out. Her communication was quick, responsive and incredibly helpful as we navigated planning our wedding day. When it came to the quality of her work and the value she provided, it was simply amazing and comforting. We just had our engagement photos done and Sarah was so helpful in making us feel comfortable, as this was a new experience for us. The photos turned out beautifully and she had them back to us in less than a week! Sarah was also so sweet and patient with our older dog who didn't fully behave during the photos. We're so grateful for her kindness and attention to detail throughout our special day.

    Sarah was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the moment we met her, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She has a way of capturing the quiet, in-between moments that you don’t even notice happening — the kind you treasure forever. Our photos look like they belong in a magazine, yet every image feels authentically ‘us.’ The sneak peeks arrived in less than 24 hours (which was incredible!) and brought me to tears. If you want timeless, elegant, and heartfelt wedding photos, Sarah is the one!

  • Great Experience!

    Sarah is the BEST! She truly listened to our vision for the photos and made sure to ask for our pinterest board and image inspiration to capture it just how we wanted! She didn't try to make us fit into stiff poses and she let us be ourselves and caught all the little things that make us ‘us.’ When I look through our photos, I can hear the laughter, feel the love, and remember exactly how happy we were! I’ve gone through the gallery more times than I can count, and every single time, it makes me smile all over again :)
