"Sara Zarrella is truly one of the most professional people that we have ever met! She helped to make our transition from frenzied lovebirds to calm newlyweds painless. We were overwhelmed while planning and funding our wedding, but Sara's optimistic attitude and kind words were what helped us to remember that amidst the many dollar signs and demanding relatives, we love each other. Although she is in this business to earn a living, Sara's commitment to appeasing her clients and making them comfortable is her priority. When Scott and I have children, we will definitely ask Sara to photograph our pride and joy because she photographed our pride and joy for each other on our wedding day."

"Our wedding day is one of the most important days of our lives; when we saw Sara’s portfolio we knew we wanted her to capture each moment of it. Her photo-journalist style is so genuine and sincere. After receiving our proofs, I truly could not believe how the pictures told a story of the whole day. Pictures that we didn’t even pose for – those are our favorites! The simple ones where I was leaning down to talk to the flower girl, when the wind was blowing my veil behind me, our families, and of Jared and I running out of the rain (yes, it rained on our wedding day)– she caught these rare moments that we never ever expected to see!

She is outgoing and very professional. From day 1 she came out to see the Church and reception hall – to the present where Jared and I try to pick out the details for our album, she is helpful every step of the way. I can honestly say that I would go back to her in the future. She puts a personal touch on her work as if she is doing it for her own family member – this was just the icing on the cake!

We couldn’t be with everyone through the day, but the photos that were taken show friends and family having a great time – and that is a great thing to see! The album we get will be the story of our beautiful wedding day – Thanks Sara!"

“Sara was an amazing photographer to work with. We were initially attracted to her both at a wedding fair because of the amount of work she had put into creating her display. We met with several photographers, but once we visited Sara’s studio we knew she was the one we wanted to work with. Both of us had crazy schedules and lived two hours apart, but Sara was willing to come in on her days off and odd hours so that we could meet with her. We did an engagement shoot with her and she put us at ease right away. Josh doesn’t like having his pictures taken at all and he looks so natural and happy in the engagement pictures, we were so happy with the results and to finally have pictures of the two of us together that we liked. When the wedding came around we were very confident in our choice of a photographer. Sara just has an artistic eye and when we saw the proofs of our wedding pictures we were thrilled. If there was a picture that we specifically asked for, she had taken it. We had asked for a mix of some formals with the family, but mostly just a photojournalistic style, not wanting everyone to seem posed in all the pictures. Once we saw the 1000+ pictures she and her assistant had taken, it was so hard to narrow down our choice of pictures to include in our album. We gave Sara our unruly number of pictures that we couldn’t eliminate, and she created such beautiful artistic album pages for us that will be so great to look back on in the upcoming years. Sara is a very talented photographer; is accommodating and willing to work with her clients; and we highly recommend her for your wedding or special occasion.”

"A while back I decided to look into having some family pictures taken. I talked with several professional photographers, and even asked at Sears. In the end, my best sense was that the right person for me was Sara Zarrella – and what good judgment that turned out to be!

The experience was as comfortable and enjoyable and the results were spectacular. Never having done this before, I anticipated feeling self-conscious and uneasy. To the contrary, however, Sara’s attitude, preparation, and professionalism made this a real pleasure.

This, of course, would be insignificant if the results were not satisfactory. But again, my expectations were not only met, but exceeded. I have done some photography in my life, and I’ve seen the work of a number of pros. Sara’s work compare favorably with the best of them. It is remarkable to me how almost everyone sees the main canvas print that she did for me, comments on it – without it being brought to their attention.

And I must mention one other pleasant aspect of the deal – the cost. Sara is very competitive in her pricing. And for my money, nobody competes with her for value.

Thank you very much, Sara."

"Sara photographed our wedding on May 13, 2006. Everyone dreams of their wedding to be nothing but perfect, but for us it was anything but. A week in advance we watched the weather like hawks. We saw that the day of our wedding was going to have nothing but downpours. That normally means good luck for other weddings, not for ours.

Everything was planned to be outside. From the ceremony, to the pictures by our horse and carriage, to the pictures on the beach, to the months of planning every detail out just gone in a matter of minutes. We immediately called Sara for help. Without hesitation, Sara was on the phone calling everyone and anyone she could to help us find a place to have our pictures done. I was just mortified knowing that it's hard enough to find a decent place in a years time let alone in a couple of days. She kept assuring me and my husband that everything would work out and it would be ok and that the pictures would still be great. She found us a place like she said she would!

I found out, after the wedding of course, that my beautiful cake had fallen. What a mess. But Sara came to the rescue again and was right there to fix everything. The pictures came out so beautiful and I can't say enough of how well Sara works with everyone and how unobtrusive she is when she is photographing everyone. She really made the event come alive in the pictures. Creative, great eye and comfortable looking posed formals. Anyone who gets their event photographed by Sara will be extremely pleased and find she is very professional. We didn't make it easy for her and she certainly came through! Thank you!!"

"Sara,

I recently came into your studio with our dogs, Chester and Amber. I must say, I really did not know what to expect since this was an original experience for me and our black and yellow labs.

Suffice it to say it was an absolute delight, and that is why I am writing you this letter. Perhaps for you it was just routine and usual, but for me it was more; let me explain.

You see, we’ve grown accustom, of late to a certain type and level of service and skill, perhaps a natural result of our high production, low medium quality, and lack of human connection society we’ve become.

At your studio it was different. Right from the start I felt quite welcome, as did Chester and Amber, and this was obviously very important to you. I really enjoyed being a part of your session, and really got a very strong sense of your gift. Like with the sculptor who sees the beauty inside the slab of stone and works to remove the extraneous matter to uncover/unleash it. Thank you for letting me observes and be a part of the process.

Soon thereafter, as you may recall, my wife and I came in to view the proofs, and again I felt that your service was outstanding, and the shots were awesome! You gave us the place, guidance, space, and time to make our selection (which, as you know can be difficult with 100 photos in front of you). Thank you for that. It was a pleasure to and through and through.

I look forward to the next (I wish I was getting married). Some people sell, some service, some service professionally, and some service professionally and passionately. You are the latter, no doubt, and I will recommend you gladly."
