    Sarah did mine and my fiancé's engagement shoot in May 2024, and the pictures turned out wonderful! I appreciated Sarah's timeliness, prepared documents she sent us to prepare with beforehand, friendliness while we were conducting the shoot, her openness to our ideas of poses and her suggestions for same. The coloring and aesthetics of the pictures were just what I was hoping for and accurate to what Sarah has on her website portfolio. I'd definitely recommend her for photography services to others.

    My husband and I had the privilege of hiring Sarah to do both our engagement and wedding photos. I had been following her on Instagram for months before we even got engaged because her photography and editing is truly some of the best I've ever seen. Sarah is extremely easy to communicate with and even allowed us to reschedule our engagement photos due to it being too foggy around the Golden Gate Bridge. She always kept a close eye on the weather and kept us updated on the same. She really listens to your vision and also offers creative suggestions to get the most value out of your session. During the ceremony, we couldn't even tell she was there-she made everything feel very natural. I am so grateful that Sarah was the one to capture our wedding photos. Her editing is truly magical and I am in love with every single photo we have from our special day. This is truly the best investment that you can make for your wedding day! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Sarah did an amazing job capturing our elopement. Leading up to our special day she kept an open line of communication and provided a lot insight and updates. The day of she was punctual, professional, yet personable. We felt very comfortable with her even though it was our first time shooting with her. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We got our photos back in a timely manner and they were B E A U T I F U L. Thank you Sarah for everything!

    She had time to do a whole Q&A on IG but not respond to my emails.

    This is by far the most unprofessional/wild experience I have ever had in my life. My review is going to be long, if you don't have time to read it, then I'm going to provide a summary for you, so you get the gist. Bottom line: Sarowly Photo cancelled on me 6 days b4 my wedding. My review: I found Sarowly on Instagram and reached out to her around 5/2023. I decided early on that I wanted her to capture our special day. We were planning on eloping at SF City Hall on 1/16/24. I reached out and learned that the cheapest SF elopement package was $3,000. You get a 3-hour photo session and also get to travel to a second location. We weren't interested in traveling to another location. After going back and forth, we decided to book the $3,000 package for our wedding, we paid the deposit of $1,500 on 6/7/23. Her package guide mentions that this includes her location expertise and recommendations. I reached out to her on 8/25/23 to ask her for location recommendations, and she did not respond. I needed help planning. I emailed again on 8/31/23 and finally received a response stating she will send me a list of her favorite locations closer to the actual date of my wedding. On 12/29/23, I sent Sarah an email stating we still need to choose the 2nd location. I sent a pdf with my inspo. Sarah did not go out of her way to reach out to me to help me plan. I did not hear from her even though she said she would hmu closer to the date. She responded on 1/3/24 and sent me the photo session guide and asked for photos of my dress to help me plan, which I appreciated. I responded on 1/4/24 with photos of my dress. Sarah responded to me on 1/10/24 to let me know that she will not be taking our photos due to "personal reasons" because she was in Egypt and was headed to Europe so she wouldn't be back on time. She informed me that she had another photographer, her friend, Sandra, and that she could shoot our special day. You can only imagine how I felt reading this message 6 days b4 my wedding. Also, not to be petty but she didn't apologize when she cancelled. I went on her IG and saw she was in Egypt/Europe having the time of her life. Eating and sharing lovely photos of her on vacation with her man while I'm at work freaking out wondering who is going to capture the most important day of my life. I was irate to say the least. She sent me a few photos that Sandra has done for her, they were mid. They were definitely not worth $3,000. There was no mention of a discount or anything of the sort. We were desperate we were just going to go with Sandra, but Sarah was unresponsive. I ended up finding Sandra via Google. I contacted her since Sarah wouldn't give me her contact info. Sandra was rude and stated that it's unprofessional for us to talk without obtaining confirmation from Sarah first, which is laughable. I explained the situation and she wasn't even a bit empathetic or understanding. Sarah was not responding to me. I had a friend of mine reach out to Sandra via IG to ask for her pricing and low and behold, Sandra charges $1,800 for the same package. Photos, editing, and 2nd location. So, if I'm doing the math correctly, Sarah was going to walk away with at least $1,200 for what? Her editing? She was going to charge me $3,000 for a $1,800 photographer. Make it make sense. On 1/13/24 (3 days b4 my wedding), I requested a refund and went on IG to find a new photographer. It was so stressful, I was saddened by this situation. I'm just curious, why this person didn't let me know with time so I could find a replacement. She asked me for photos of my dress, knowing this whole time she was about to be in Egypt lol. Don't be fooled by the whole "I got someone for you" tactic, no, read your contract and don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. I found an amazing photographer for literally $2100 less than Sarah. It ended up working out for us and we had an amazing day. Do with this information what you will but just know, this could happen to you.

    We had the privilege of hiring Sarah for our engagement and wedding pictures. She was truly such a wonderful person to work with. She maintained clear and professional communication and help during our planning process. She is an expert behind the camera and was so helpful in getting us to feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera. We had multiple photo locations including a crowded city hall.. but the crowds didn't phase her. She navigated each location perfectly and got all the amazing angles and shots. Hiring Sarah was the best choice we made in our wedding planning process. We are so thankful for her and to have so many amazing pictures of our special day.

    Sarah is a dream come true photographer! She is so sweet and very talented at her craft. She knows how to capture your special moments and leaves you speechless when you see the photos she took of you. She has all the best recommendations for picture perfect scenic locations all over the Bay/Coast. If you're thinking of booking Sarah don't hesitate, do so immediately!! You won't regret it and you'll want to keep booking her for photos. Thank you Sarah for capturing our special day!!

    We are so incredibly thankful we found Jasmine! From the very beginning, she made everything feel…read moreso easy and comfortable. She was flexible, kind, friendly, and just has the most wonderful personality. She was also great with our kids. She knew how to make them feel comfortable, let them be themselves, and somehow captured all of those sweet, genuine moments that we will treasure forever. San Francisco is such a special place for my husband and me. Coming back with our kids now that we've settled down in Southern California felt incredibly meaningful. We wanted them to experience the city we love and create some special memories of their own. There is just something so magical about San Francisco, especially the Golden Gate Bridge, and I'm so grateful we now have these beautiful photos to remember the city. And of course, Karl the Fog decided to join us and somehow made the photos even more magical! We make it a tradition to take family photos every year but we don't always find a photographer who is good. This time, I feel SO lucky that we found Jasmine. We are completely in love with our photos! Thank you, Jasmine, for not only taking beautiful pictures, but for giving us an experience that felt so natural and fun. Thank you for your patience with our kids, your flexibility, your kindness, and for capturing our family exactly as we are!

    Finding your SF City Hall wedding photographer is overwhelming since there are literally hundreds…read moreof them on Instagram alone. Kelsey and I spent weeks at it. We narrowed it down based on aesthetic and style, then interviewed our top picks. Jasmine stood out from the very first call. Talking to her felt like catching up with someone we'd known for a long time: warm, easy going, zero pretense. We were sold almost immediately. On shoot day, she showed up ready. Small stature, big presence with her camera, belt clip, and a little step stool that ended up being the MVP of the session. She moved us through two hours like a well-organized heist. We hit every great photo spot before the other couples and photographers could get there, shot what felt like 500+ photos, and somehow ended up with clean frames in a building that's constantly crawling with people. The organization alone was worth it. Her directions were clear, her energy was calm and confident the whole time, and the final photos delivered on everything we hoped for. Best wedding photography decision we made. Easy 5 stars. She's the second-best decision you'll make that day, second only to actually marrying your best friend, of course!

    We cannot say enough great things about working with Prasanna. We planned the elopement in less…read morethan a month and she was willing to work with us on a very condensed timeline. She was personable and kind and met with us virtually prior to the ceremony to walk us through specifics, which was so appreciated. During our planning calls, Prasanna was very prepared and flexible, ensuring we fit in as many shoot locations following the ceremony as possible. She was even kind enough to film the ceremony portion for our moms that couldn't be there. We spent the whole day and into the evening together, and it truly felt like having a friend along for the day! She made us feel so comfortable and took extra special care of me to ensure I was able to get to each location safely (I was 14 weeks pregnant). And above all, the pictures absolutely blew us away. Each location was shot so beautifully and captured both us and the city of San Francisco that is so meaningful to us and our journey. Our friends said we look like we're in a vogue photoshoot! Prasanna's creative direction shined - from the shots in the forest with the lighting on my dress to the shots at the top of California St with cars whirring by to the most epic shot of all on the cable car (with mere seconds to jump on and get the shot!) It's so hard to pick a favorite! My husband was most excited about the shots at the beach at sunset. Prasanna brought lanterns as the sun was setting and it really does look like a scene from a movie! Just wow. Lastly, she got us our sneak peek shots and ceremony video within two days of the wedding! That's unheard of! Even with all of the extras she provided (video, quick editing turnaround), her prices are very fair and reasonable for the high quality work she provides. We couldn't recommend Prasanna enough and plan on hiring her again in the future! A million thanks from us for capturing the day so beautifully.

    My husband and I are so glad we picked Prasanna to take out micro-wedding elopement photos in…read moreYosemite. From our initial meeting to the sneak peeks, we have felt that Prasanna was there every step of the process and she is truly AMAZING! Her knowledge of Yosemite and bringing our wedding photo vision to life was extremely important to us. Our sneak peek photos shows her artistry and vision and we are extremely pleased with how our initial photos turned out. We can't wait to get our full gallery as we know they are also going to be beautiful. You won't be disappointed with her art. She's very thorough, punctual, bubbly, kind, passionate...all around AWESOME! Thank you so much Prasanna!
