We hired Will and Sara January of 2020 to take advantage of their “New Year’s Special” rate for our November wedding, not knowing them and having seen just a small example of their work. We paid for our own wedding and were on a pretty tight budget so “Special Rate” spoke highly, their photos were really beautiful so we figured it was a good call.
All at once in only 3 short months we had to completely rethink our original plan for a big, formal wedding and change every idea we had and that included trying to work around our photographers. Having only chatted via text my inquiry of switching our date was warmly and graciously accepted and I was given several options. We decided to move our wedding ahead (different from everyone else!) by 3 months because Sara and Will had an opening on Sunday September 13th- so we decided to just go with it and have a pretty backyard wedding at my folks home in Brewster, Ma on the Cape where we live as well.
Ultimately because of the upheaval of the world we weren’t able to schedule an engagement shoot so decided to meet with Sara for the first time via Zoom 2 weeks before the wedding and when we did it was like meeting with an old friend. Right away she put my mind at ease and was eager to learn as much as she could about John and I and our stories. We felt a fantastic connection and couldn’t wait to actually meet on the big day.
On our wedding day Sara and Will arrived on time, and were very professional however also very at ease which ultimately helped everyone’s nerves! We laughed over shared interests and all the while they were snapping away, and we enjoyed watching Will perform some serious acrobatics to get the “you’ll see!!” shots.
After our ceremony we headed to our beach for some special alone time and it was as comfortable and easy as hanging out with a mirror of ourselves. Sara and Will are obviously just as passionate about each other as they are about photography and because of that we just had a big old romantic good time, like two couples hanging out and it was absolutely perfect.
We returned to our wedding and had a magical time.. but telling about our beautiful day is not giving the time and extraordinary credit deserved due to what came after due to the efforts of our amazing photography team.
A few weeks after our wedding we received a few anxiously awaited sneak peek photos and our collective thought was WOW… and then 2 weeks later we got an email containing over 600 beautiful images, each more incredible than the last.
We spent almost 2 hours watching a slide show of our love story, rendered into spectacular photos, but it wasn’t the lighting, or the angles or the fancy camera equipment that we know nothing about that was the most incredible part.. it was that they got US. Sara and Will told our story.. they put in photos our incredible paths to get to where we are and who we are and to finally have found each other and this inexplicably amazing love we have created. It’s truly magical what they do and we are so, so grateful to have these incredible memories captured physically on film in such a beautiful way that we can enjoy for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Sara & Will, so much.
