Sarah, these are so gorgeous. I'm always amazed by your work.
Love the couples shoot especially, overcast weather often = lovely light for portraits and skin!
Just came across your work for the first time and so glad I found you. Your work is just so pure and simply inspiring. Love this wedding.
Wow, this is just gorgeous. The wedding, the images, the style... love love love.
PS - Looking forward to seeing you at the HER Conference!
Awwwww. So great! I especially love the shots in the field.
Hey Sarah and Chris,
I don't know why, but I feel like this series might be the most "authentic" that I've seen so far on your blog!
There's something about the "mirror shot" that intrigues me; it's as if all of the sometimes mixed feeling about a marriage find their impression in these complementary pictures...
Keep on showing the beauty the Lord put in us :)
What a beautiful wedding! I love the handmade touches... Splendid captures. Keep creating!
Sarah & Chris, you guys are the bomb diggity and all that jazz :).
Wahwa weewah. These pics (and all your photos) are so gorgeous!!!
I saw this wedding somewhere else but I can't remember where.
Anyways, these photos are awesome and I'm glad to see you're rockin it.
I'm off to look through the rest of the blog.....
How were the pinwheels made with the rosettes? My wedding is in April and my bridesmaids will have pinwheels instead of bouquets.
This wedding was absolutely gorgeous by the way.
Not much to say..You guys have just got it. So inspiring!!
OMG!! Is this even possible.. These are just incredible. Your black and white processing is to die for ..
I am in love with this wedding, this couple, and THESE PHOTOS! Absolutely beautiful...all of it!

Dear Sarah Rhoads Photographers,
I am Amazed how close I feel to each moment here. I want to do it all again exactly the same. Thank you for encouraging that feeling to be the one, through your photographs, that will remain with me. You are a dear force of nature to us.

Love.
Sarah & Chris - from the bottom of my heart, I love you forever. You are so easy to work with, and such gifted artists. You see things most don't. I'm so thankful for these memories, thank you for capturing us. Each image brings me right back to that moment in time. We will have these treasures for generations to come.
And Tiffany, my favorite pen pal on the entire planet, thank you. You are a wonderful artist who knew exactly what each of us needed. You are a gem. I'm so grateful for your help on this shoot. Any person wanting a stress free experience - enlist the help of Tiffany Lowry.
This was one of the best days of my life -- thank you, Sarah, Chris and Tiffany.

Just lovely Sarah! The light, the moments...perfection!
This family is so beautiful and you captured them fantastically!!!! Amazing!
What an awesome looking family! Looks like you had a blast with them in Hawaii!
I recently found out that Australia is NOT the grueling 30 hour flight I was told it was, so it's time to plan a trip there! I might be a bummed ball of goo after 20 but it's not 30!

I'm subscribed to your blog via RSS, so I normally just look down the photos there.
These ones forced me to come to the site to say how beautiful they are.
Perfect light, if only you could figure out how to bottle it up you'd be millionaires!
que beautiful!
Love this set! The light is gorgeous!
love those two black and whites! so cute!
Cartel Coffee Lab in Tempe (amazing fresher than fresh coffee) Mill Avenue in Tempe (for dining, shopping, night life, people watching). The Big Bang (dueling pianos bar on Mill)!! =)
you have to hit up gallo blanco. have. to. and if you need a third this weekend give me a ring. :)
Wonderful capture...that light really is yummy, makes you feel all warm and gooey inside. Clarissa & James look like such a beautiful couple. Just beautiful.
That light! You're right, no other words for it - yu-MMY! :)
The Sugar Bowl is a wonderful, cute little desert place in Scottsdale with lots of character.
I would love to hear about how you got organized and created a sustainable work-flow, once you started getting busy with clients(in the beginning)... I am seeing how I could easily get over-whelmed, if I don't create a system soon!
I am envious of any photos with golden light! We haven't had much of it this year... Just waiting for my turn.
These photos are great!
Beautiful series! The first one is my favorite - love the light, and their expressions are so sweet :)
Lived in the PHX area for the past two+ years, but recently moved back to NC. Old Town Scottsdale is always a popular stop for your 1st visit.. bars/restaurants, etc. If you have the time I'd also highly recommend taking a drive up to Sedona, soo gorgeous. Big red rocks and an artsy little town... and weather is always about 20 degrees cooler :)
I'll be there as well this weekend to shoot a wedding.. if I see you guys around town I'll have to say hello and introduce myself. Should be a perfect weekend weather-wise! Enjoy AZ!
Without fail I always recommend Lux Coffee and Pane Bianco. Lux is undeniably the best coffee found in Phoenix and has a great sandwich shop located right next door.
I hope you both love your time spent in Arizona, I know I miss it terribly.
AZ is my favorite place in the world, I think. Except Phoenix. So it's beyond worth it to drive the couple hours to Tucson, or even farther, to Bisbee. The drive is a destination in itself. Otherwise, north to Sedona. Gorgeous. I'm so jealous. I want to live there!
