    Beautiful photos and wonderful to work with!

    Sara is an incredible photographer, Im so thankful we were able to find her and book her as our wedding photographer!!! From the beginning she was a great communicator, warm, and easy to talk to. Having Sara there at our wedding felt so comfortable like having a friend.
    Her compositions are amazing, I had one friend tell me our photos were the best wedding photos she had ever seen. Our photos are GORGEOUS and really captured the spirit of the day! Would highly recommend Sara to anyone considering!

    A stunning artist

    Sara was an absolute star at our tiny covid wedding. She worked herself in as part of the crowd and captured stunning, natural moments from start to finish. A complete gem to work with, Sara also created STUNNING artwork out of our day that we will happily display on our walls for the rest of time

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    What a wonderful thing to know you and Annie! It was my honor to be there to witness and capture all the goodness!

    Superb quality of service

    Where to begin...

    From the minute we met Sara, we clicked. Planning a wedding of any size is daunting but Sara's relaxed and warm demeanor immediately put us at ease. After we booked her, she made sure to keep in touch with us in the months before our wedding to make sure all was going smoothly. She truly cares.

    We feel so lucky to have found someone with her caliber of talent. Sara's photographs effortlessly exude mood, elegance, and sophistication. Her distinctive aesthetic sets her apart from the rest. We get to relive our day through her photographs that precisely captured the essence of the moment. We couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Thank you so so much, Sasha! Your touching words mean so much. It was my honor to be part of your lives in this way! I wish you lifetimes of happiness together!

    Organic beautiful video

    Sara was lovely to work with and was really open to our alternative wedding that had a lot of changes due to COVID restrictions. The final video was beautiful and captured our day really well.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Pip! It was such a pleasure to create your video with you, and your family and friends! Most sincere congratulations to you and Jonathan!

    Amazing Experience

    My partner and I met Sara about a year before our wedding for engagement photos. We were new to the area and Sara had plenty of beautiful recommendations for spots. Sara was so easy to talk to and quickly felt like a close friend after 10 minutes. Our engagement photos turned out more amazing than we had expected. There was no doubt that Sara would also take our wedding photos. It's safe to say that Sara made our small pandemic wedding feel like it was as grand as our original plan. We received our photos back in a timely manner, there wasn't a bad picture in the bunch, and my only complaint is that I cannot possibly display all 600 ish of them. Sara's pricing was fair, her ability to not miss a moment was exceptional, and her turn around time was accurate. I hope Sara is able to take the rest of our family photos from here forward.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Oh Dionetta! Thank you so so much for your kind words! It is symphony to my ears:). Your wedding was simply stunning, and it was my honor to be there to capture and share it with you all!

    Amazing photographer

    Sara’s photography is stunning. She’s a true photo journalist and I was absolutely floored with the images she took. This is serious fine art photography. She was also such a joy to be around and completely blended into the crowd and never got in the way, and she managed to get photos of every single guest at the wedding. 10 out of 10 recommend her!

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Thank you SO much, Bridget, for these words! It means so very much to read this, especially coming from a fellow artist & photographer!! I am so happy our paths crossed and hope they will again!

    Exquisite Memories Frozen In Time

    If you are looking for a phenomenal wedding photographer who is blessed with an artist’s gift, look no further. Sarah is not only a warm, personable, and highly professional vendor, she possesses unique skills not seen in the run of the mill Upstate New York wedding scene. One viewing of her website set her apart from the pack for us, and she was so accommodating with us planning an Ithaca wedding from afar. If you are interested in beauty, artistry, and style for your wedding photos, Sarah is the photographer you deserve.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Thank you so very much, Rebecca, for this kind review! It was my honor to photograph and witness your wedding! That dress!!!! Swoon :)

    Wonderful wedding photos

    Sara was really fun to work with and we loved having her at our wedding. Our wedding photos were gorgeous and we did not have to miss the whole reception to take them! She has been very responsive since our wedding if we needed help with photos and I would definitely use her again for any photography needs!

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Abi!! What a beautiful day, full of love and miles of smiles:). Hoping our paths cross again soon!

    We love Sara!

    My husband and I were over the moon with the photos Sara took at our wedding. She had such a lovely presence, and the pictures are proof at how much she put people at ease (including the two of us!). Our ceremony pictures are amazing - she captured every moment perfectly, yet I don't even remember seeing her around us! She knew exactly how to be in the right place at the right time for the whole event. Sara went above and beyond with the pictures she delivered, and we couldn't have been happier! Her artistic sensibilities and talent are obvious in every single picture. She's fabulous and we'd reccommend her to anyone!

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    I am honored to have been there to witness your very special and beautiful wedding day. Thank you for your kind words! And trust!

    Sara is a really talented photographer as well as videographer. She did our wedding and we cannot thank you enough how beautiful it came out with perfect music background, which was beyond our expectations, LOVE it! She is also a very nice lady to work with! I would highly recommend her to anybody! Would like to have her take my self portrait later this year ! Thank you so much Sara!

    Sara is an absolute photography goddess! She is insanely talented, lovely to work with, and an amazing presence to have at any event. She made our guests perfectly comfortable being photographed, leading people without making them feel like she was directing them. Her brilliant eye for what is special, along with her great energy and stellar photos, make her the best choice for capturing any special event. I want her to be the photographer of my life! Thank you Sara.

    A Talented Artist & A Joy to Be Around

    I hired Sara to do an engagement session and, after such a positive experience, also hired her to photograph my wedding and rehearsal dinner. Sara has a trained eye and captures gorgeous, artistic images, but even more importantly for a wedding photographer (in my opinion), she has a warm, yet non-intrusive presence that enables her to capture beautifully intimate moments between couples and families and the true emotional experience of a wedding day. And although she was the sole photographer at our wedding, she somehow managed to be everywhere at once and capture so many friends and family members in addition to the photos of my husband and I. She went out of her way to scout unique portrait locations and also put together a beautiful Super 8 video for us.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Oh Sarah! Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a sincere joy to have the honor of photographing your wedding and other milestone moments. Hugs to you and E!

    Sara was a truely a gift from above. She took a quirky and barely structured wedding and turned it into an artistic masterpiece. Her photos included gorgeous, intimate shots of my husband and I as well as amazing photos of the wedding party and guests, including candid snapshots and posed photos. Her attitude was fun and celebratory - she fit right in as she made the rounds capturing everyone on film. In addition, we received a phenomenal super 8 film that tops any wedding video I have ever seen. She captured the vintage feel of our wedding and the music she selected for the film was entirely expressive of the event. She also prepared a DVD slideshow which showcases our favorite photos. Working with Sara was a pleasure in every way and I highly recommend her!

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Danielle, thank you so much for your beautiful review and sharing your thoughts! And most importantly thank you for your trust and for being such fun to photograph all those years ago! I loved witnessing your wedding and hope our paths cross again!

    Sara is a professional with a warm, beautiful way about her. Sara laughs and has fun doing her job. At the wedding, we never felt ordered around as we did portraits. (I've seen it!) Beforehand we discussed our ideas for our photos--our wedding was totally 1930's-40's vintage looking. Sara even visited the venue before the wedding! I enjoyed feeling that even though we were paying her to do something, she was having fun at our party. Love her!

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    I am just now (somehow!!?) reading your beautiful words, Amber!!! Thank you so much for your trust! I wish I still lived nearby so I could photograph you again.. someday!

    Sara Tro is an exceptional photographer. Not only is she a joy to be around, she has an incredible eye for fine art photography and she gives 110% to her clients. We loved the photographs she took of our wedding. They tell the story of our special day and hold so much detail and beauty. Also all of our guests loved Sara, people feel very much at ease having their picture taken by her. I would highly recommend Sara for your wedding, for portraits or any special event you want to hold dear in photographs.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Sarah!!! I somehow missed seeing these reviews from years past and am just now sitting here with tears in my eyes, remembering how beautiful these moments were, and how much I felt honored by your trust in me! Thank you so much for choosing me:)

    Sara was a fantastic choice for photographer for our special day. Not only does she capture magical moments, but she turns them into works of art. She also created a super 8 movie for our wedding video that is unique and stunning, and will be treasured by our family for generations! Aside from being an outstanding artist, Sara is also a positive, warm, calming person to be around--she puts people at their ease and deals beautifully with cranky relatives! She was a joy to work with, and definitely has a gift for capturing all the love and joy of a wedding day on film. This was BY FAR my best vendor choice, and Sara will continue to be my family's photographer of choice for any future events!

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Oh Gina! Thank you so much for your kind words! I apologize for just replying now! I hope life is as beautiful as I imagine for you and Patrick, and thank you for choosing me all those years ago:)

    We LOVE our wedding pictures and feel very lucky to have found Sara Tro.

    We planned a Seattle Wedding from NYC and a friend suggested I contact Sara. As soon as I met her, I knew that she would be a fantastic fit for our wedding. She went out of her way to meet me on one of my few trips to Seattle before the wedding and spent hours getting to know me and my ideas for the event. She came out to our wedding site twice to get a feel for the location and an idea of what the light would be like.

    She shot with 4 different cameras-a fancy digital camera, an old school manual camera, a medium format camera and a toy camera. As a result, we have several different kinds of photographs, all of which blew me away. Sara had a great eye for the "traditional" wedding shots of our families, wedding party, friends, etc. It's hard to get 30 people all looking great at one time and she nailed it. And in the photos of the guests and groomsmen (while they waited for the tardy bride!) the ceremony, dinner and reception, she managed to capture not only the subjects, but the mood of the event in a way I didn't think was possible. The photos are stunning.

    She also managed to take photos of the ceremony without anyone noticing she was even there--like a photographer ninja! Sara was great to work with and the results are fantastic. We didn't have a videographer, but we didn't need one. In narrative, texture, mood and tone, Sara's photos tell the story of our wedding day.

    Thank you thank you Rosey!!! It was such an honor to be part of your wedding!!! Thank you for your kind words and for choosing me all those years ago! I’m in NY now.. I hope our paths cross again!! Xo

    I had a destination wedding in the Caribbean, and I am happy to admit that I could not have made a better choice for a photographer than Sara Tro. Not only was she incredibly flexible about travel and the environment (it's not easy to hike from the NW to the Caribbean!), but she also was happy to work with us on the types of photos (we wanted lots of candids and not as many posed shots). Plus, to top it all off, she as a delightfully sunny personality, and set everyone at ease. The perfect person to capture such an important day. And SUCH fun photos. She's terrific.

    Sara Tro Photography's reply:

    Ohmygawd!! Daphne! I somehow am just seeing your amazing review from all those years ago!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! I have such amazing memories of your AMAZING wedding, (including eating pepperoni pizza on the beach while being a vegetarian!!! Ha!!)! I miss you and hope life is better than good! Hugs to you and C
