Goodness, where do I begin? I had already checked out her social media and website, and it was clear she was insanely talented, but we weren't even two minutes into our first consultation and I knew Sarah was going to give us the absolute best photos and experience. She had my entire family in stitches. "Mom, the meatloaf!" Sam and I are super laid back and sarcastic and Sarah was a perfect fit for us! I have never been so comfortable and the entire experience was easy going, fun and we laughed all the way through. Outside of her just being all-around fabulous, find me another photographer who will edit photos immediately so you can have a sneak peak before your reception is even over. That was so impressive and our guests were dying when she posted them! She really paid attention to the small details, too. For instance, it was pretty windy at one location and she took time to fix my hair and make sure to check on my veil, flowers, hand placement, etc. I felt certain that every photo is going to be perfect! Sam and I had never been to St. Augustine so we weren't sure about where we should take photos. Sarah clearly had done her homework and took us to several locations, each more beautiful than the last. When we received our photos- in less than a month(!)- we were even more blown away. They were gorgeous! We are going to have such a hard time deciding which ones we want to order! We face-timed with Sarah so she could see our first reaction and see me ugly cry! It was just one more special touch she puts on her product and shows that she truly cares about her clients and giving them the ultimate experience. I really do not have enough words to express how beyond pleased we are with our whole experience and our photos. Without a doubt, Sarah is an investment you MUST make! It was an amazing day and her talent is second to none! Best thing? You don't have to live in Florida to hire her- she travels! I will continue to recommend her to everyone! My family is still talking about how funny and amazing she is! Thank you so much, Sarah! We are so blessed to have crossed paths with you! read more

We can't even put into words how amazing it has been to work with Sarah for our engagement and wedding photography. I found Sarah awhile ago and have been slowly admiring her work through social media. As soon as we got engaged, I immediately reached out to her and planned our date around her availability. I just LOVE her style! Sarah isn't cheap but if you think about it, everything that goes into your wedding (aside from your future spouse) is only for the night but the photos that capture the memories are forever and will probably hang in your home and will be in an album for your kids to look at one day when you don't look like those photos any more. On top of all that, Sarah is beyond worth it! There are so many reasons why you should book Sarah to be your wedding photographer. 1) She's seriously hilarious and can make even the crankiest kid (or groom) smile. 2) Her personality is amazing and will help you throughout the wedding planning process to answer silly questions or just to calm nerves. 3) She will make you feel and look amazing throughout your day. I want to expand on this some more... I'm not the skinniest person in town and Sarah knows all the tricks to angle flowers, arms, chins, etc. to make you look your best in your photos (like I said before, you'll have them forever). 4) She's so fast! Sarah is fast to respond to texts and emails. On the night of the wedding she'll give you a reveal during the reception of a handful of sneak peek photos that have been edited for you to share on social media. The following day, she'll release more sneak peek shots. Then a month (yes only a month) later, you get all your beautiful wedding photos in various forms to share, print, and make that special album with. We absolutely love Sarah and can't wait to use her as our lifetime photographer for special moments. read more

The best wedding advice ever given is "book the best photographer you can find". So, when my husband and I decided we wanted to elope to Amelia Island, we immediately started our search for the best photographer we could find. After several lengthy internet searches, email and phone interviews, We ultimately chose Sarah Hedden to photograph our special day. The photos I saw on Sarah's website were amazing, her reviews all impeccable and her communication was prompt and courteous. The decision to hire Sarah turned out to be the best decision. Sarah, is a rare talent with an amazing ability to connect with her clients. Her easy going, positive and friendly nature puts everyone around her at ease. So many wonderful things to say. With all that, the quality of the end result should, therefore, not come as a surprise. But, inevitably, it did, surpassing every one our hopes and expectations. My husband and I secretly ran away and fulfilled our dream of becoming husband and wife on New Years Day. It was an insanely perfect day!! :) All my thanks to Sarah Hedden Photography for giving us the gift of sharing our beautiful memories through photos. *We booked a private room at our local steakhouse for both of our families on February 23. We are so excited to share our surprise with them and show everyone our beautiful memories. Sarah, from the bottom of my heart. Thank You! :) read more

Sarah is the best of the best! I feel like nothing I write could do her work justice. We first met Sarah when she photographed our wedding. We actually planned our wedding date and time based on her availability, and her ability to get a sunset photo on the beach. She is that amazing! During our wedding, she immediately felt like part of our family. She has the best personality and she is hysterical. She will bring out beautiful smiles because she is just fun to be around. I am not usually a fan of getting my picture taken, but Sarah's photos make me feel like a model. I cherish our wedding photos, and I am so grateful that we chose her to photograph our special day. When we planned for the arrival of our son, the first thing we did was book Sarah for newborn and milestone sessions. During his newborn session, our son was not feeling well and cried throughout, but you would never know it looking at his perfect pictures. At this point, we trust Sarah completely! We do not worry about anything (the location, the weather, our son's mood, etc.) because we know the pictures will be phenomenal every time. We have no doubt that Sarah will be documenting every year of our son's life. Sarah is not simply a photographer; she is part of our family! read more

I found Sarah on a Google search when searching for newborn photographers and fell in love with her work and personality! She seemed so compassionate just from her Facebook and website that I was drawn to her and ended up booking maternity, birth, and newborn sessions. After meeting her months later for the maternity session, I realized she truly is one of the most compassionate and caring people I've met! She even took time to recreate Pinterest shots I brought it and outdid Pinterest! Her studio is amazing and an added bonus of the best views in Jax! She also photographed the birth and took breathtaking pictures of those memorable moments that we will have forever. She was so helpful during labor and I even had her cut the cord on my deployed spouses behalf! The newborn session was impressive and she was sooo patient! She has gone from being a photographer who pulled up on a Google search to being part of our family and our forever photographer. Each of our sessions had numerous breathtaking photos! Also, her full digital package price can't be beat with the amount of photos she edits that turn out perfect with same day previews and full gallery within a day! Sarah Hedden is the best and we are so happy we found her! read more

With all of the COVID craziness, I actually had two wedding ceremonies. And Sarah shot both of them. She also shot my engagement photos. From the time of day we shot to the angles she had us stand, it is amazing how she got some of the most stunning pictures ever. When we got married on the beach, she was able to capture the sun peaking through the clouds and spotlighting us. As we walked along the beach, she got the clearest reflection in the water on the sand. While we were standing in the church, she was able to get the stained glass windows reflecting on the floor. I looked beautiful and thin (well, thinner...) and my husband looks so handsome and dapper. And she created those looks. She captured in the moment as well as the posed shots, and they are all gorgeous. She also has the most phenomenal customer service EVER. I texted and called her over 20 times over the past two years, and each time, she has responded within mere minutes. She's funny, personable, and does whatever is needed to make sure your day goes swimmingly. But, and I cannot say it enough, her pictures are beautiful and the treasured keepsakes you will definitely want for years to come. read more

To say that Sarah is the BEST may sound cliché but honestly, SHE IS THE BEST!!! Not only is her work gorgeous but she is a beautiful human being who does so much for the community around her. She has a talent beyond compare, she becomes a part of your family as soon as you meet her. She takes time to get to know her clients (family) and captures people in their greatest moments. Sarah makes even the most skeptical of clients feel comfortable. My (now) husband was so nervous before our engagement shoot but as soon as we met Sarah, it was as if we've known her our whole lives. Immediately following our shoot he said he couldn't wait to do another session with her! I love her as a friend, as a new family member and as an extremely talented photographer. She's done our engagement photos and our wedding and now she's stuck with us FOR LIFE! Any important life event, we will move heaven & earth to make sure she's there to capture those precious moments. The saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words" and Sarah's pictures tell you that and then some! I can't say enough about how much I love Sarah and I know that you all will too!! read more

Our perfect wedding started with Sarah! When our original wedding was canceled in 2020 (thanks COVID!) we decided to reboot in 2021. We opted for a destination micro wedding in beautiful St. Augustine but we were clueless as to where to begin. The most important thing to us was hiring an exceptional photographer to capture this sacred day-so that's where we started. We fell in love with Sarah's work online and by some miracle of the universe, she had our date available! From start to finish, Sarah completely exceeded our expectations. She gave great suggestions for vendors as we worked through the planning. She kept everything running smoothly on the big day, and kept us laughing all the way. The images she captured are absolutely stunning and we will treasure them always! Sarah knocked it out of the park on every level. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A class act, a true talent, and a consummate professional. Thank-you for sharing your gift with us Sarah-we are forever grateful! read more

Our wedding experience with Sarah Hedden Photography was nothing short of extraordinary!!! She spent 3 days with us at our destination wedding in the Dominican Republic and was able to capture every moment of it! From our all white welcome event, our thank you "booze cruise" and of course our special day! The photos were breathtaking ! At no point did we feel rushed or overwhelmed with her service! Her professionalism is second to none and she also made picture taking feel exciting and fun! She is very eazy going and is willing to do anything to make your special day spectacular!!! (Even if it means waking up at 5am for sunrise photos ). These memories will last a lifetime and I'm so glad we chose her to be our photographer! She's official part of our family now lol! I would recommend her to anyone in the future! Thanks again for being part of our special day! "The Folk Family" read more

Sarah IS the person you want by your side for your wedding. Not only to be the BEST photographer catching all of the most perfect moments but a a friend. She truly makes you feel like she is your best friend and family member all at the same time. She will help you button up your dress, placement of your veil, remembering your garter when you forgot, help with putting on your shoes and taking them off. She will help you pose correctly to look like your most skinny self. She will notice that lipstick on your teeth or that crinkle in your dress and she will take care of all of it. Every Pinterest idea you give her she WILL get it done even when you give up. I cannot express in words how much joy and energy she brought to my wedding. I received so many compliments from friends and family! We love you Sarah and thank you so much for being a part of our special day! See you in a couple years for those Maternity photos! read more

We just love Sarah. My husband and I hired Sarah for our small beach wedding after she did a photo shoot for my website. The most important part of a wedding is the photos to capture the memories and we wanted to hire the best even though we were not having a big wedding. However, for us it was more than that. She has an upbeat and happy vibe about her. She brings the best energy to your special day. It would not have been the same without her. She isn't just a photographer she also is a last minute dress fixer, hair fixer and crowd fixer. If you are having a small wedding or eloping, you will want her to be there. She goes above and beyond to brighten your day and capture the most amazing photos. Our guests were praising us for hours about how funny, she was and asking, "where we found her from". You will not regret hiring her for any size wedding or event. read more

Where do I start?! Sarah is AMAZING! From the very beginning she was exactly what I was looking for! She is extremely talented, very personable and Is not only our photographer but a friend as well :) STOP LOOKING AND START BOOKING! From pregnancy announcement, to making me feeling like a queen when I was big and pregnant, to be so extremely meticulous when it came to my sons newborn photos, to capturing his milestones!! There isn't a picture sarah takes that I don't fall madly in love with! I'm so happy and excited to have her for the rest of my childs life! Sarah's eye for detail is unlike any others and worth every penny and more! Her kind heart and sense of humor has me dying in laughter every time we get together for a shoot!

God where do I begin? From the day I met Sarah and saw her work I knew she would be my lifelong photographer. When my husband proposed I immediately knew who I wanted! There was no if, ands, or buts about it! My husband was against it at first, but after the wedding he knew we made the right decision. Sarah was not only a HUGE help on the big day to keep everything in line and to keep the bride calm, but she also has such a talent that allowed her to capture my husband in a fashion no one else has seen him as before except for me. Our photos came out gorgeous! We still to this day get raves from family and friends about Sarah and her crew. I'm so blessed to have not only Sarah and my lifelong photographer, but also a friend. I can't thank you enough! WE LOVE YOU SARAH!! read more

The hardest part of having Sarah produce my daughter's Senior Pictures is choosing my favorites!!! I'm just going to have to buy them all! Sarah agreed to do a shoot in St. Augustine while we were on vacation. She helped arrange Lanie's hair and make up and met us at the salon with a plan for the shoot. Sarah had great locations picked for us and even backups when our first choices weren't available (large beach crowds). I was worried about lighting because of a storm rolling in and darkness approaching, but as you can see the beach pictures turned out fabulous. Trust Sarah, she will NOT let you down, she and her work are both completely awesome! We love you Sarah, THANK YOU for providing us with these memories that will last a lifetime! read more

We first connected with Sarah through some philanthropic work she is doing in town with a non-profit agency. Her poise and dedication to working with young children who have special needs was amazing to see. She knew exactly what to do to coax a smile out of the most unwilling participants! She worked hard to for those shots - the end result was a beautiful product! We've since used Sarah for family photos and for professional headshots. The results have been nothing less that top-notch; AMAZING! We have been extremely pleased, and will definitely choose Sarah again for future projects. She is dedicated, passionate and knows her craft! Congrats to her 2019 Bold City Best win! Karen, David and Caleb read more

I chose Sarah to take my daughters senior photos and from the moment we had our phone consultation, I knew that it was going to be a memorable experience! Not only is Sarah an amazing photographer, she's very personable, and extremely entertaining....she had us laughing the whole time, which was literally from 12:30 pm - 8:30 pm (and the following day for a sunrise session)!! She made such an impact on us. We truly adore her and the moments she captured of my daughter will be cherished forever. I look forward to Sarah capturing more moments in our future! read more

Sarah is WONDERFUL! Our daughter attends Ponte Vedra High School and we were flabbergasted at the prices quoted by the school's "recommended" photography studio. Our search for an alternative solution resulted in us hiring Sarah Hedden to do our daughter's senior pics. We couldn't have been more pleased. She is fun, accommodating, has a super fast turn around time, and produces beautiful work. If you hire Sarah, I'm confident you will be as pleased as we were. She also specializes in maternity, baby, family, and wedding photography. read more

In addition to spunky and witty personality and dance moves her work exceeded our expectations. Sarah has a true natural talent for photography.
