Sarah Williams Photography

kind words

"We first came across Sarah on the suppliers list that our wedding venue, Upwaltham Barns, provided us with. There were many photographers on the list but after seconds of visiting Sarah's website and seeing her photos we were so impressed. That teamed with my husbands love of cricket and the work Sarah does at Lords, we knew she was the photographer for us! We have been SO thrilled with Sarah and Alex. From our initial meeting, to our engagement shoot, and then to the big day itself Sarah and Alex have been so professional, hard working and a fantastic calming influence! The photos we have received of our wedding are more beautiful than we could have hoped for. They will be cherished for the rest of our lives. Another special thank you for being so patient with our very energetic toddler."
“Sarah and Alex - what a team. They recently photographed our Wedding day at the Pilgrims Rest, and what a day. Throughout the whole booking process Sarah was quick to respond, attentive and keen to ensure that we were happy with everything that we agreed. Meeting Sarah and Alex at the venue around a month before eased our anxieties, as a couple we aren’t very confident in front of a camera but Sarah and Alex were so friendly, nice and gave us so much advise. We left that meeting feeling like we made new friends as we felt as though they really cared and wanted to get to know us a couple. On the day, they arrived early and just slotted straight into the chaos, at no point did we feel overwhelmed or like they were forcing us to get into certain situations or create fake moments. Everything was so natural, they really know what they’re doing and Sarah’s passion for photography is clear to see. Sarah did not hesitate in getting straight into the group shots and even squeezed us out between our meal service for a sunset shoot. Guests commented on how lovely they were and how organised they seemed and were quick to get the group shots over and done with so everyone could grab a drink and mingle. All of our other suppliers have commented on how friendly Sarah and Alex were and how easy they were to work with. Thank you so so much Sarah and Alex, we will be recommending you to all of our family and friends.”
"We were very lucky to have had Sarah and Alex do the photography for our wedding in October. Sarah and Alex were such a wonderful team and they blended in perfectly to our wedding day. They have such a relaxed nature, yet are so organised and efficient. They felt like part of our wedding party! The whole experience of being with Sarah was so personal, right from the start. We really appreciated meeting with Sarah and Alex at our venue beforehand, this felt so unique. Sarah listened to our wishes and preferences so clearly and this really shows in our photos. They really went above and beyond throughout the day (and right into the night!) and so willingly. We are not naturals in front of the camera, yet Sarah and Alex made us feel so relaxed, they were not imposing at all. We just love Sarah’s photography style, bright and natural. We still cannot get over the beautiful photos we received. We will treasure them forever. Thank you SO much Sarah and Alex for being part of our day and producing the most incredible memories in photo for us!"
“When we began planning our wedding, we were undecided whether or not to have a photographer, but then we found Sarah at a wedding fair. She and her husband Alex were both lovely and approachable, and had some beautiful photographs on show, so we asked her to capture our day.
On our wedding day Sarah was amazing, reassuring, and did a great job organising all the guests for the few posed photos we had. She and Alex are a great team, and even stayed later than planned to get a few 'golden hour' shots of the both of us.
The photo package is fantastic, all of the photos are beautiful, and we love all the extra touches thrown in. Sarah captured the whole day exactly as we imagined, so we will be able to revisit the special moments again and again in the future. We will certainly recommend Sarah to our friends. It comes across in her work that she really cares about what she does, and we wish her all the best in the future”
“Sarah and Alex are the most incredible photographers! They made us feel so comfortable and we honestly forgot they were there at times! The photos are beautiful and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them involved in our day. Sarah really does go the extra mile and I would recommend her to anyone getting married x”
"We instantly fell in love with Sarah's photography when we saw beautiful and candid weddings photos displayed on her website, and we knew immediately that she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding. Sarah and her husband, Alex were amazing to us from start to finish. They met us at the venue a couple of months before the wedding to get to know us and scout out perfect wedding shots. On our wedding day, Sarah and Alex were such a calming influence and made us feel so comfortable when we were having our photos taken. We are absolutely delighted with our beautiful wedding photos and would recommend Sarah and Alex again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything!"
"Sarah captured our wedding day beautifully and we couldn't have been happier with our photographs. She was absolutely lovely and so well organised. She and her husband were a pleasure to have around on the day and had a nice relaxed unobtrusive style. We struggled choosing our favourite photos for our album as there were so many we loved. Sarah stayed late on the day to capture all elements of our wedding and we can't thank her enough. She got the most amazing shots of our ceilidh and Greek dancing which can't have been easy! We are so glad we chose her to capture our day and couldn't recommend her enough!"
“Our photographer was one of the first suppliers we booked for our wedding (once we knew when and where it was going to be!). We asked for suggestions from friends, emailed a couple and looked at Instagram pages (which give quite a good idea of their style). We wanted a photographer that understood that we wanted natural pictures that captured the day. Sarah was absolutely brilliant in that regard and we would absolutely recommend her to others; it was a pleasure to work with her and her husband.”
“We honestly only have great things to say about Sarah. She was our photographer for our wedding back in September. She was everything we could have asked for and more!
We had looked through several of Sarah’s portfolios and loved the natural, candid wedding photos so decided to chat with her. We are pretty awkward infront of the camera and we knew we needed someone who could put us at ease. In our initial catch up we knew Sarah was the right photographer for us.
Both Sarah and Alex are so lovely and friendly and couldn’t have done more for us.
After the wedding she gave us really speedy sneak peeks and then kept us updated constantly. We absolutely love our photographs and she has really captured the essence of the day. So many of the guests commented on how lovely she was. She was super patient and put us at ease all day.
Throughout the whole experience, from the initial chat to after the wedding, Sarah has been so passionate and it is clear she loves to capture and be a part of everyone’s special day. Choosing Sarah as our photographer was one of our best decisions and we absolutely couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!”
“Honestly the best wedding photographers, everyone absolutely loves our photos, we have received so many compliments and we have only seen the sneak peaks so far! Truly so many beautiful shots, she made us both look incredible and captured so many amazing moments. Sarah knows how to put people at ease and is excellent at pulling together the best shots. She is great at using natural surroundings and scenery in her photos which is one of the reasons we chose her. Sarah & Alex are fantastic at balancing candid shots with staged photographs, they know how to strike the balance between the two and remain inconspicuous on the day. Sarah is also great at providing a good mix of colour and black and white photos with the perfect inclusion of beautiful backdrops. She takes time to get to know the location for the best photos and walked through our venue with us. The golden hour photos were unreal and the night-time shots were a unexpected special extra. Sarah is also great at providing advice for all aspects of the wedding day, she helped us so much with our timings, she really knows her craft. Sarah's turnaround is quick, we were pleasantly surprised to get our sneak peak photos back so quickly! We used Sarah to take our engagement photos too so it was great that she took the time to get to know us and create exactly what we were looking for, it was amazing to feel like we were working with friends by the time we reached the big day.”
"We have been so lucky to have Sarah as our wedding photographer. The photos speak for themselves and we were thrilled to get sneak peaks the next day and our fully edited photo gallery within a few weeks of our wedding! Not only is Sarah a talented photographer, she has been an absolute rock during the rollercoaster of 2020 and kept us looking forward and excited for our wedding in December. We had a great day which was beautifully captured and Sarah chatted easily with our family and guests; it was a pleasure to have Sarah and Alex at our wedding, thank you so much to you both xx"
“When we planned our wedding almost two years ago, there was no question to who we wanted as our photographer. We saw Sarah and her husband’s work in an album when viewing our dream venue. As soon as Jonathan popped the question, I booked Sarah and I’m thankful I did.
I know I’m not alone when saying, Sarah and Alex are phenomenal photographers and they go the extra mile to get to know each of their couples. When conversing with Sarah, you feel you are among friends. Mainly due to our mutual love of dogs, being outside and cows.
During our wedding day there were lots of laughs, a feeling of calm and most importantly lots of natural photos, we could not have asked for more.
We love our photos and cannot wait to share them with close friends and family.”
