Experience

Kind words from our past couples, the wedding process, and what exactly makes a 
Purdy Couple.

"I knew I picked the best photographer when all of my other vendors raved about her."

My husband and I hired Sara and Chris for our wedding and we could not be happier with our decision! Sara was super helpful from the start. I knew I picked the best photographer when all of my other vendors raved about her (understandably so!). The day of, they were amazing to work with. Everything was seamless and comfortable from start to finish. The pictures from our day turned out absolutely STUNNING. They did such a great job capturing all of the special, candid moments. So many of our friends and family have told us how beautiful the pictures are. We cannot recommend Sara Purdy Photography enough!

"The pictures that they took were AMAZING."

Sara and Chris truly made our wedding day so special!! We could not have been happier with the pictures they took! They captured our special day so perfectly. From the very beginning, when we took our engagement pictures to the end on wedding day, they were so incredibly kind and responsive. The pictures that they took were AMAZING and we have received so many compliments on them! They were truly one of the best decisions we made! We will treasure our wedding pictures forever. Thank you so much to Sara and Chris!

"If my husband and I were going to be spending the best day of our lives with any pair, boy did we luck out. .."

Sara and Chris made our engagement & wedding day so incredibly special. We are out of towners and were recommended we check them out.
Let's talk about WHY so great...

1) First things first... VALUE!
Weddings are expensive and bills add up quickly. Finding this pair who offered such a suite of products for their price almost made the decision a no brainer.

2) PERSONALITY...If my husband and I were going to be spending the best day of our lives with any pair, boy did we luck out. These two were so accommodating, thoughtful, patient and just 'like us'.

3) QUALITY... our pictures came out perfect. Sara's attention to detail, in the moment shots, and turnaround time blew us, friends and family away.

Couldn't say more nice things about these two and so grateful they helped us document our new chapter!

"They were truly one of the best decisions we made! We will treasure our wedding pictures forever."

Sara and Chris truly made our wedding so special. We could not have been happier with the pictures they took, they captured the day and my husband and I so perfectly! From the very beginning to the end they were so incredibly kind and responsive. They made us feel at ease and free of any kind of stress throughout the whole process of our engagement and during our wedding day. My husband and I felt as though we were hanging out with old friends during the photo shoots… their jokes and words or encouragement made the picture process a breeze. The images they got by far passed any expectations we had. They were truly one of the best decisions we made! We will treasure our wedding pictures forever. Thank you so much Sara and Chris!

HOW IT WORKS

the PROCESS

01

Let's Chat!

You've thoroughly combed through my website, blog and Instagram feed and you like what you see. So the next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the perfect fit for one another.

02

Date booked!

Once your date is officially reserved, we'll send over a few goodies to help you prepare for the big day. We're happy to serve as a resource for vendor recommendations, timeline guidance and more!

03

The Engagement SEssion

Your Engagement Session can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.

04

Wedding Prep

We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day!

05

06

the big day!

They're here!

It's finally here! the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. (It's going to be awesome!)

You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three to four weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.

Frequently asked questions

How many images will i receive?

The number of images received varies greatly depending on the individual event. My clients receive about an 50-100 images per hour of shooting. Factors like the size of the bridal party, amount of details and events during the day can make a difference in the total number of images.

what if i need more time?

I thoroughly go through each wedding day’s timeline with my couples to help them make the most of their day and be sure every hour is used in the most efficient way. Most couples find that after we go through the timeline, 8 hours ends up being more than enough time! 

Can i print my photos
wherever i want?

Absolutely! Though I always recommend my couples print from my gallery for the best quality, I want you to be able to make the decision of where you print your images wherever you prefer.

What if we prefer more candid photos instead of posed?

We always share with our clients the 80/20 rule. A great wedding day will consist of roughly 80% candid moments, and 20% posed. We try to be unobtrusive throughout the day during moments like the ceremony and reception to let those events unfold naturally, but some moments (like bridal portraits, etc) do require a bit of direction to capture a great shot! (A great candid photo may actually start from a posed one!)

Do we really need two photographers?

Having an associate photographer with me isn't just about having more photos, or an extra meal. It's an added layer of security to ensure you are always covered on a wedding day and assurance to making your wedding day photography run smoothly.

do I have to have an
engagement session?

Even if you have already had an engagement session previously with another photographer, we encourage our couples to book or use their engagement session, because it is such an important part of the wedding experience! It allows us to really get to know you guys on a personal level, and get you comfortable in front of our lens. It also gives you a better feel of how we shoot, and interact with you both so that when the wedding day comes - it will make your portrait time a breeze because it will pretty much be a recap of the engagement!
