love notes
"In short, Sarah was the perfect photographer for our wedding. It was a real pleasure having her shoot our big day and all the day-of preparations. Sarah went above and beyond our expectations. Aside from her courteous and professional attitude, she really went the extra mile to get some gorgeous photos. She works hard but her work looks effortless and joyous. During the wedding, we received lots of feedback from guests saying how great the photographer is -- and that was BEFORE anyone even saw any of the photos. When Sarah sent us the photos, we were astounded by how they came out -- it was amazing to be able to relive the entire day of our wedding. She really caught the happiness and warmth from each guest and every shot is a cherished memory of our big day. We had many personal touches incorporated into the ceremony and reception that Sarah's keen eye for details captured beautifully. Thanks to Sarah, our wedding photos will be treasured forever." ~Victoria & Kieron
“We cannot say enough good things about Sarah and our experience having her photograph our wedding. If you read no further than this– book her for your event! Sarah went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, calm and special. She produced the most incredible photos of our day, capturing moments and memories we will savor forever! Sarah has a special and unique way of connecting with everyone present and at the same time staying professional throughout the entire experience. She knew exactly where to take photos and how to direct our often scattered energy, while at the same time listening to our hopes for the day. We highly recommend Sarah for any of your photography needs!”

“My life as a fiancé and preparing for my wedding, consisted on pinning on pinterest and oohing and aahing over lovely wedding blogs and magazines. I knew I wasn’t going to have a beachfront, floral infused wedding, but I wanted to remember that beautiful day and have the photographs to look back on. I absolutely LOVED Sarah's work! The only thing was she lived in Portland, and I'm in Arizona. Thankfully, she was happy to come down for our event and I got my pictures back today, and Oh My Goodness, I would tell you a thousand times over and over again to book her. I looked at my gallery and I was there again. I looked prettier than I have ever seen myself, she captured shots that took me back. I had a huge party and not a lot of room as I was getting ready and I felt like I was running behind but Sarah kept it together for me, and delicately placed us perfectly. i am forever grateful that I have a timeless gallery of wedding pictures. Sarah is very professional and always has communicated super well. thank you Sarah!!!” ~Eliza
“1000% would recommend!! Sarah
at Hazelwood was AMAZING! Sarah took the time to consult with me when I was shopping around for photographers for our wedding. We clicked and I loved the other photos of her work, so of course I picked her.
She was great with phone calls and emails, always responded so quickly and was organized. On the day of, she was flexible when I added additional shot requests and was great with making sure we got the shots my husband and I wanted. As two people who don't love taking photos and are very awkward, she was SO great at making us feel at ease and getting us to laugh, relax, and have fun. Our photos turned out incredible! There were so many photos of every aspect from our special day, she truly did capture amazing little moments that are so fitting for our relationship, friendships, and family. Seriously, I could not recommend her enough!” ~Samantha
"I found Sarah and fell in love with her pictures right away! She is very sweet and professional. The first time we met, I left and told my husband that she is the kind of person I would totally be friends with. On our wedding day- this girl worked her butt off!! We had a lot of pictures to take and she made everything happen. Sarah is totally committed to making you happy. She is very good about giving direction. My husband and I were a little clueless but Sarah totally helped us. When we got our pictures back I just about died (in a good way). I’m just completely blown away by how amazing they look. Sarah caught all the right moments and everything turned out gorgeous! I wish I had another event I could hire her for. I would recommend her to any of my friends.” ~Jessica
"Hazelwood Photo is the absolute best of the best and Sarah is a true visionary and artist. Her impeccable attention to detail, creative eye and wonderful suggestions shine through in her amazingly gorgeous photos of our wedding and waterfall anniversary session, which we couldn't possibly be happier with. Furthermore her professionalism, keen photographic sensibilities and fun personality make her an absolute delight to work with. Her extraordinary photos of our Palm Springs wedding were even featured on Ruffled wedding blog, which is most certainly a testament to the quality and beauty of her work. We can't wait to work with Hazelwood Photo again soon and cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!"
