What a fabulous party! I love this series!
Like I already told you--it's obvious that you shot this wedding from your heart. I love it.
Sarah & Chris,
Wow...these photos have left me speechless. Thanks so much for capturing the true feel of our wedding day. When on the hunt for the perfect photographer to shoot our wedding, If asked, I would have said that I wanted someone who would make it so we could go back to that time and place 10, 20, 30 years out. You did just that! Looking at these images allowed me to relive the day all over again.
I appreciate the two of you in more ways than one, your zest for love, life and your work is very evident and magnetic to those who are in your presence. I look forward to following your work over the years and having you capture more of our family memories.
Much love,
Elliott, Angela & Alexis Wood
The groomsmen and baby shots with the tree are my favs! FAB as usual.
great coverage sarah. sorry to hear about your car...but glad that you're OK.
I love the photo of the actual ceremony taken from up high. The exposure is perfect. It seems like it would be hard to get the shadows and highlights that even though. I've noticed how well balanced a lot of your photos are even in direct sunlight... you don't process any of those in HDR format do you?
I've been looking at your work for well over a month. Your blog layout first intrigued me...but the overall quality of your work is literally stunning! I shoot as well but not professionally.
I just wanted to pass along my thoughts.
Keep up the amazing work!
these are brilliant...i love the running shots and the last two are out of this world. i love the light.
absolutely breathtaking! i always love your style.
One of your best shoots to date! Beautiful!
Sarah & Chris, these images are breathtaking! You guys have such an amazing gift in the way that you capture people's moments in life. I am constantly blow away by your work!
Your work is unbelieveable!
Ahhhh Sarah and Chris, you nailed it. These are so sweet and beautiful. Excellent. BTW I love the little girl flying.
That is one of the COOLEST groomsmen pictures I have ever seen! Great Job!
as beautiful as all those WEDDING photos are, and they are, I am just left dreaming about spending a weekend there on the lake and by that pool. I need me some beach time right about now!
those last 2 make my heart melt! So warm :) Your clients are going to be over the moon for these!
Gorgeous spread, Sarah! I love how we get the whole vibe of the wedding along with the bride and groom pics :)
Just had to drop you a line to tell you how unbelievably AMAZING the two of you are! We could not have asked for a better photography team. You were patient, kind, and unobtrusive. We appreciate you for this more than words can ever truly express. Other members of the bridal party also commented on how great the two of you were. To be honest, I was dreading the whole picture taking experience because I am just not into taking photos, however, I have to admit I had a GREAT time! The picture taking portion of the wedding was actually one of my favorite moments. The two of you made us feel SO comfortable and gave us an opportunity to have a peaceful moment during our wedding to show our love for one another. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!
Sarah, you were incredibly calm in the "eye of the storm" (referring to the complete and utter chaos in the bridal suite before the ceremony here ;) I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for everything you did to help keep everything under control without being pushy or forceful. You even helped to provide input on my makeup and hair! You blended right in just like one of the girls. We actually refer to you as an honorary bridesmaid because you really helped to keep everything moving along and under control. I don't know how you survived all of that. ;) It just felt like an old friend came down from Seattle to attend my wedding. I will never forget you for this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Chris & Sarah....You are beautiful inside and out. Words cannot express the magnitude of our gratitude. Your talent overwhelms us. Thank you for sharing this unbelievable talent through the lens of your camera. Thank you for sharing our special day and for taking the time to fly out for us. We feel blessed and honored for this gift. We wish we had more time to sit down with the two of you to get to know you, but you know how that goes. Hopefully, you will look us up next time you are in town so we can take you out for a drink.
Big hugs & hope you had a safe and pleasant journey home. Can't wait to see the photos!
This is truly a beautiful set of pictures. Absolutely stunning and refreshing.
Wow looks like such a fun wedding and you captured it all so beautifully! LOVE your work :)
Super fun wedding. Gorgeous details. Perfect Sarah Rhoads wedding.
You're awesome! I alway love looking at other photographer's work, I'll definately be coming back here.. It's just beautiful!
I love the compositions here... really awesome stuff!
hey sarah ... it's so funny that i always get your updates on my google reader but i have to go into your actual blog to view your posts in the horizontal format. i love the way you lay out the series and viewing it vertical -y (is that a word?) just doesn't do it justice. anyway ... stunning work as always! miss ya ... carmen
I love all details and couple is gorgeous! Artistic photographs!!!!
Their work is great, but their professional, attitude and perspective are even more amazing. Fabulous to work with!
I've been following your blog for a little while, just wanted to let you guys know I really admire your photography! I like your outlook on life/love and it shines through the pictures. I'm glad I stumbled across you and Chris. =) Time for me to stumble off somewhere else now.

Loved every single one. You bring out the special moments, love, tenderness, style and beauty in the people and the day. And all that couldn't happen to better people.
Fav! FTW! You need a 'like' feature so I can give you a million thumbs-ups!
Everytime I look at this blog, and truly see all of the amazing work that you produce, I get so excited that Kari and I are able to work with you and Chris... I can't wait!
@Joop wow. thank you so much for your kind words.... your comment really meant a lot :)
So, your photos are always fantastic. But this series goes beyond. Some of these images make me think of classic paintings. Unbelievably powerful.
I know you're gaining recognition as a photographer, but I have to think you are one of the most underestimated photographers currently.
I am more of a B&W journalistic photographer myself, but the color photo of the bride with the wind catching the scarf for instance - that's a true lasting classic image.
Yeah I understand you, sometimes it seems that I am always editing xD
The pics are wonderful I love the last one!
Beautiful pix, wedding and couple! I love all the colors of their wedding and the bride's shoes are so cool!
What an incredible wedding! Beautiful job, Sarah. I love all of the fabrics and textures, and they look like they had a perfect day. They are so lucky they had you to capture it all!
The awesomeness of these are hard to explain. Big fan of your work for sure! and I heart Seattle too.
the bee shot....are you freakin' kidding me? Sheesh! Amazing lady. :D
love the bridal shot with her wrap whipping in the wind! those colors are amazing! looks like it was a fabulous wedding. :)
Wow Sarah. These are so beautiful and I can totally see the artistic freedom you had in creating them! My favorites are the shawl image of the bride and this last one with the beautiful reds and oranges. Love it!
AYKM? I am FLOORED! These are stellar images. LOVE the bride's shoes...and what a beautiful couple. This shoot did not disappoint!
We are SO looking forward to our shoot in August with you guys...crazy thing...we may have adopted by that point...{if the timing works out just right...}
Great work as always!
NICE!! you guys are ridiculous. i'm continually amazed.
I'm so bored of telling you how great you are Sarah. I'm not doing it again...
.. oh, ok then...
You're f'in' amazing! :) Don't get all big headed on me though!
shoot! one more thing i forgot to mention...the image of your bride with the wrap blowing in the wind...omg............enough said. i love it. love love love.
SARAH! wow. i think this seriously might be my favorite wedding of yours this summer! i feel like i didn't even have to be there to know it was amazing...AM I RIGHT?
i love every single detail they included in their wedding. i loved the location of the b+g portraits, so darling! i love her fabric wrap and the way all the colors play against each other. you know how i'm a fan of horizontal images...but i think my favorite is the vertical one of them against that really beautiful cement/gray wall- looking at each other, holding hands, forehead to forehead--beautiful union in every way.
This is where I was married!!!! I absolutely LOVE Cannon Beach ... it's my second home :) Great great shots, Sarah!!!

oh Sarah and Chris you have spoiled me! You are the best decision I've ever made... well other than marrying Christian of course.
I thank you for your kind words, calm spirit, and vision of capturing the day. The pictures with my grandma melt my heart. My dad looks like he's the most relaxed, happiest dad ever! I absolutely adore my whole family and would love for you to join us for adventures to come.

Hi Sarah-
My sister sent me this link. Cannon Beach is my 'Narnia' as well. Christian even looks a little like Corey Feldman. Very appropriate for Haystack Rock. Kim is a beautiful bride. Great shots. I am having serious wedding envy. :) I think the shot of 'grandpa' is great!
Just beautiful. I really get a sense of a this family being close knit and truly loving of one another. Thank you for being true to your heart and your eye Sarah. I think I'm older than you but I still want to be you when I grow up ;)
WOW, WOW, WOW!! I sure do LOVE Cannon Beach! Spectacular pics, Sarah!
Yep.
My day just got exponentially better by seeing these images. Thank you.
These are STUNNING!
Beautiful pix! And that beach is beautiful as well!

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. the fog in these photos just makes them so moody. I love cannon beach and this really makes me want to go back. great photos, sarah!
This are so lovely, Sarah. I love Cannon Beach as well. Someone told me the rock just off the coast there was the rock from the movie, The Goonies. Wondering if it was too foggy to see it?
Thanks for sharing. I'm a big fan of your incredibly work!
