Where do we even begin?! Choosing Sarah Williams as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, her energy completely won us over--she's warm, friendly, relaxed, and just so easy to be around. She brought such a calm, joyful presence to both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, making us feel totally at ease in front of the camera. Sarah is incredibly creative, coming to our shoots full of fresh ideas and poses while still staying flexible and open to the moment. On our wedding day, she was everywhere--getting shots from inside the ceremony, through the windows, and even from the balcony above. Her work ethic is amazing, and it really shows in the photos. And the photos... we LOVE them. Truly. So many of our friends and family have told us they're some of the best wedding photos they've ever seen. Sarah managed to capture us--our personalities, our love, the emotion and joy of the day--in a way that feels natural and totally unforced. We're endlessly grateful to her for giving us these beautiful memories. Cannot recommend her enough! read more

I have never felt prettier !!! Sarah is the ultimate hype woman always makes you feel comfortable and confident. Highly highly recommend

Sarah is an absolutely wonderful photographer with such great energy and an even more amazing eye! Our adventure with Sarah started with our first video call between me and my fiance, where we fell in love with her vision for our engagement shoot. Sarah was so sweet and very easy to talk to. As we shared our love story with her, she was easily able to inspire a cohesive theme for the shoot, tying in our favorite moments between my fiance and I. Working with Sarah truly felt collaborative and we genuinely believed we found a photographer that matched our energies and saw our vision! The day of our shoot couldn't have gone any better! Working with Sarah was so much fun! Having photos taken seemed awkward for us initially, however Sarah was able to make us feel so comfortable with her bubbly and uplifting attitude. Pretty sure she was having more fun than us... Although my fiance and I were goofing around quite a lot, Sarah was able to capture so many beautiful moments amidst all the wacky chaos, several times even encouraging the wackiness. We absolutely love how the photos turned out! Sarah was able to set the mood and setting effortlessly through her direction, and had no trouble offering guidance when needed, finding a great balance between driving the train and being along for the ride. We would happily work with her again and definitely recommend her to anyone seeking her work. read more

I do not have enough positive things to say about our experience with Sarah! My husband was retiring from the military and I wanted to do something to capture his last few moments in uniform and to celebrate us, and Sarah delivered in spades! From start to finish she made sure every detail was taken care of. Before we even signed a contract she spent about an hour with us on a video call to make sure we were a good fit and that she could get to know us. She provided assistance with styling and outfit suggestions, even sending me links to possible dresses to wear. The day of the shoot she was the sweetest person, gave lots of good cues and made us both feel very comfortable. She brought a fun energy to the pictures and we had a great time. She was up for any shot and even got in the water so we could take some fun water pics. We absolutely LOVE our photos and I can't wait for another excuse to work with her in the future!!! read more

Sarah is absolutely amazing! My husband and I were looking for a photographer that could capture the beauty of my pregnancy while making us feel comfortable. My husband and I get really awkward when taking professional pictures and Sarah made us feel super comfortable and had us laughing the entire time. Her personality is great and perfect for moments like these! We were in shock with how amazing our pictures came out and her turnaround time. All the awkward poses and laughs were definitely worth it. 10/10 recommend Sarah! We can't wait to book another photo shoot with Sarah when our babygirl arrives, thank you so much Sarah! read more

Sarah is everything you could ask for in a photographer!! If you're thinking about booking her, I can't recommend her enough!! She made me feel so comfortable through the whole process and completely earned my trust. Sarah handled all of the coordination with the venue host and she even went two days early to check out the space for the photoshoot and find the optimal time for lighting to capture my vision. She went above and beyond! During the actual photoshoot she made it so fun with her contagious energy! I always feel awkward and dorky in photos, but she found a way to bring me out of my shell and helped me see myself in an empowering new way I hadn't before. Two hours flew by way too quickly because we were having so much fun! Sarah captured my vision perfectly and is an absolute gem of a human. I loved everything about her and how my photos turned out and can't wait to hire her for future photo shoots! If you're thinking about booking her, DO IT!!!!! read more

Sarah was absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end! I was all over the place with my photo location for our family/maternity shoot so she scheduled a zoom to get to know each other and narrow down the options. Per her suggestion we went with a hacienda vibe and I could not love our pictures more! She is super communicative and involved in the pre-planning/creative process. At the shoot she gave direction but also gave us opportunity to be to be ourselves. She was amazing with our two year old and got so many smiles out of her. When we received our gallery I couldn't help but tear up a little. I would love to work with Sarah again in the future! read more

If you're looking for the best couples/family photographer, book Sarah right NOW! Working with Sarah was such a special experience for my wife and I. From the start, she took the time to understand who we are as a couple, incorporating poses from my Pinterest board and tailoring the session based on our preferences. She had incredible flexibility when my wife's deployment got extended and we had to changed dates around and she even photographed us on a weekend. She also created a custom playlist for us from the questionnaire we filled out--such a thoughtful touch that really made the whole experience feel like us. What really stood out the most was her incredible energy. She has this way of making you feel completely at ease, like you're just having fun together rather than being in front of a camera. Her attention to detail and ability to make everything so personal truly made the session unforgettable. And the photos? Simply perfect! She captured us so naturally and beautifully--it felt like she brought our love story to life in every shot.

Sarah Ann Williams Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I cannot express more how amazing Sarah is. I have had two photo sessions with her (so far) and I have been nothing but completely satisfied with her work. The angles, the ideas, the uniqueness of her shots are incredible. The only thing tough here is trying not to cover my entire walls with all of the pictures! They are all beyond great. I am thankful for Sarah and her immense expertise. We will definitely be working with her again for every memory I wish to capture! read more

We have gotten pictures taken many times. Once (sometimes twice) a year for the past 8 years. Every photographer we have used has been great, but Sarah is leaps and bounds ahead of all of them. She was quick to respond to my inquiry and communication was effortless throughout the entire process. From the very first time we spoke about what we envisioned for our photo shoot her excitement was contagious and I immediately started to count down the days until our session. The day of, Sarah drove to the location early to scope out the area while we were still getting ourselves ready. She put so much extra effort into making sure our session would be perfect before it even started. When we arrived at the location, Sarah was fun and professional and immediately started to take pictures without us feeling rushed in anyway. The entire session was so much fun!! The hardest part of the whole process was impatiently waiting to see the final results because by the time our session was over and we were driving home, my husband and I both knew these would be the best pictures we'd ever had taken. The days went by slowly because I kept checking my email literally every single hour, but let me tell you, Sarah's turnaround time was so fast. We got several preview photos that had me literally screaming out loud they were so good, but today, when we got our full gallery....I cried. Giddy, emotional, overwhelmingly happy tears. Sarah's work made me feel so beautiful. Epic poses, total understanding of the light, beautiful editing, Sarah's work has it all. I mean it wholeheartedly (and then some), BOOK WITH SARAH! She is phenomenal and you will not be disappointed. I can't wait for the next time we can get pictures taken by her. Sarah, thank you! read more

Me and my wife have never had professional pictures taken, so going into it, we really didn't know what to expect. We are both very shy people and have a hard time keeping conversations going with new people. Sarah was extremely professional and very interactive the whole time, talking to us and joking around, making sure we were very comfortable and staying involved in what was going on. She made it so easy for me and my wife to be able to laugh and have fun the entire time while she took some of the most beautiful pictures we will probably ever have. She picked out an amazing location and made sure it was something we both wanted. She was flawless in the way she was able to come up with poses that just looked amazing while also catching the beautiful scenery around us. Me and my wife could not be happier with the entire experience. I recommend her to anyone looking to get professional photos taken while also having a good time and laughing the entire time. I cannot thank you enough, Sarah. read more

This was my best ever photography experience. Sarah was quick with the initial response, very creative and understanding, as well as incredibly sweet and kind. Our experience was seemingly quick and fun at the same time with my husband and 7 month old son who refused to smile in every picture but one. She still managed to capture the most precious pictures of him that I will cherish forever. What I've said so far doesn't even begin to cover how pleasant of a time I'd had! Thank you so much, Sarah!! read more

My fiancée and I were looking to get professional photos done at the beach in San Diego. She scoured Instagram for photographers in San Diego and found Sarah Ann Williams Photography! We immediately fell in love with her photos on her IG account and booked a photo shoot for Memorial Day weekend. She had us fill out a questionnaire to help her understand what we wanted in a photo shoot. The day of our appointment at La Jolla Shores, the sun came despite the May Gray," overcast. She was friendly, professionally and extremely personable! She asked us how wet we wanted to get on the beach and we were reluctant at first, but then she started to get into the water! We were still reluctant, but now we are glad we jumped in! She had us do games to get actions out of us, whisper and talk to each other. Sarah wasn't pushy and only asked us to do certain poses or actions that we were comfortable with. The photos were sited within a week and came out beautifully! My fiancée and I highly recommend her for photo shoot! read more
