"Jason and I enjoyed working with Sarah as soon as we met for our engagement portraits in Asheville. We were very comfortable with her and she was very accommodating--meeting at our hotel and going along to different locations. Prior to the wedding day, Sarah followed up with a comprehensive questionnaire so she would know exactly what we wanted captured. On our big day, Sarah was prompt adn stayed until the DJ called it quits. She was personable and cordial to all our guests. In Post-production, Sarah sent multiple status updates so we never had to wonder when we were going to see our photos. Turnaround was less than two months and worth the wait! I would highly recommend Sarah (and her assistant G) for any couple!" HAYLEY AND JASON BRAFFORD, MARRIED MAY 21, 2010 AT THE LAKE LURE INN, LAKE LURE,NC
"Sarah was absolutely the best photographer I could have had for my wedding day. She was extremely organized, professional, and fun throughout the entire day. She was also super flexible and quickly adjusted her schedule when we started running a little behind. My bridesmaids and I all remarked that she was 'one of the girls' by the end of the day. The pictures were amazing. Sarah definitely captured the day just like I remember it. I had no idea she was even at the ceremony or the reception, and she really recorded it all through the pictures. I would definitely recommend Sarah Whitmeyer Photography to any bride. I am so happy with my pictures and wish I had a reason to work with Sarah again!" LIBBY AND DON ROBERTS, MARRIED JUNE 1, 2008 IN LAKE TOXAWAY,NC
"From day one, Sarah was a joy to work with. By asking us to fill out information about our day, she was on the same page as us when it came to our wants and needs for our wedding photos. The day of, she arrived on time and with a smile. I immediately felt at ease with her, like she was an old friend. What meant the most to us was that Sarah wasn't an outsider, but rather was a part of our wedding celebration. Looking at our pictures, it is hard to choose a favorite! Sarah did an amazing job at catching those moments that you'll never forget. Sarah has provided us with lasting memories of our special day and we could be more thankful!"ALEXIS AND BRIAN KIRBY, MARRIED SEPT 16, 2008 IN OUTER BANKS, NC
"Sarah shot both my bridal portraits and my wedding and had to deal with the elements on both occasions. I did a lot of independent research for a photographer and since I live in Chicago and was getting married in my small hometown in NC it was all via the internet, phone, and email. I explored a few routes but was sold on Sarah the moment I saw her work, spoke with her on the phone, and received her packages in the mail. I flew into NC for my bridal portraits so they had to get done within a time frame. The day Sarah and I scheduled the shoot it was pouring rain (during a NC drought period, just my luck) Sarah was very flexible and willingly rescheduled for the next day before I flew back to Chicago. The portraits were great since everything was so green after the rain, she really took advantage of all the natural coloring. My wedding day sings the same song, 20 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle outside, the rains came. Sarah never skipped a beat and despite the time she lost shooting the pre-ceremony pictures Brian and I never felt like she took up a lot of our wedding day time to get those portraits we now cherish. I was worried that Sarah would have a hard time capturing an outside wedding with over 350 guests, but she proved me wrong by shooting over 1,000 photos and capturing moments that would have been lost if she had not been there to document it. She has worked with me through multiple computer compatibility issues and always makes sure that I have what I need. I highly recommend Sarah as a photographer, she produces great work and even better customer service before, during, and after the wedding."CARRIE AND BRIAN PENDERGAST, MARRIED JUNE 28,2008 IN RUTHERFORDTON, NC
"Sarah is a great, intuitive, creative, and focused photographer. She was flexible in her package and was able to meet my (our) needs in documenting a 3-day Hindu Indian ceremony. She was inconpicuous as a photographer, blending into the background, yet capturing essitial details. Sara was a calming presense to be around and I still stay in touch with her. Her wedding packages could work for anyone, and she honors your budget and financial needs. Sarah sent me as much information early on to help me make a decision and was in touch in a timely manner. She provided us with everything her package had promised. Sarah worked with us to understand everything that was going on and did a spectacular job caputuring our guests, decorations, colors, the site, and everything. We would be happy to serve as a reference for any brides (especially South Asian ones)." NILAM AND KARL GYLLSTROM, MARRIED JULY 11, 2009 IN MEBANE, NC
"My husband had the first meeting with Sarah. When he (someone who hates having his picture taken) was sold on her ideas about wedding photographs I knew she would be perfect for our special day. Sarah was great at finding the right shots. She was everywhere documenting so many parts of the day. She was very professional and organized. She arrived at the church early to get a feel for the space, and was very respectful of what photos could and couldn't be taken during the service. I am very happy with the choice we made in our photographer." CELESTE AND LUKE MAURIELLO, MARRIED FEB 21,2009 in ASHEVILLE, NC
"Sarah was a great choice for our wedding photography. We were easily able to plan from out of town over the phone and email. On the day of, she was so helpful, organized, and efficient capturing great moments throughout the day, both posed and spur-of-the-moment. At the same time, her picture-taking was never obtrusive and didn't feel forced. She was able to take hundreds of pictures of all our guests, which isn't an easy thing to do! Once we received and viewed our photos, we were very pleased with Sarah's talent, creativity, and range. She helped preserve memories of our special day and was a pleasure to work with!" ALLISON AND ADAM FOTOS, MARRIED MAY 16,2009 in FLAT ROCK, NC
"Sarah Whitmeyer is an amazing photographer, personable, and there to capture the moments you value most. Sarah shot my beautiful bridal portraits before the wedding. On my wedding day, she spent the entire day with us in our most intimate traditional Chinese and Cambodian wedding ceremonies in my family's home in the morning to the beautiful outdoor American-style ceremony with the reception to follow in the afternoon and through the evening. I would definitely recommend Whitmeyer photography for everything from candid life shots to traditional portraits. Sarah shows that she genuinely cares to get the shots that you cherish! She worked with me for my wedding, and I had so many great pictures to remember the day (and my three wedding ceremonies)."SUE LEE AND DAVID WALLER, MARRIED SEPT 15, 2007 AT THE HIGHLAND LAKE INN IN FLAT ROCK, NC
"Sarah was an absolute dream to work with. Before choosing Whitmeyer Photography, I had heard awful stories about photographers making brides cry on the biggest day of our lives. From start to finish, she was very oriented towards complete customer satisfacion, which she accomplished. I saw her work before choosing her and she had the eye for what I wanted--our day to capture. So I let her run with what she did best and I'm so pleased. Everytime I see our pictures I want to scream with glee! Amongst the wedding weekend, she was so personal that we shared many laughs together."NICHOLE AND KEN DEFOOR, MARRIED AUG 11, 2007 AT THE HOMEWOOD INN ASHEVILLE, NC
"Sarah was absolutely delightful to work with through my portrait process. She was very prompt and professional when we first discussed working together, and this professionalism continued during the photo shoot and beyond. I never felt like I was simply business to Sarah, but that she truly wanted my photos to turn out well for myself and my family. She was very positive and received my ideas about locations and poses with excitement. I always felt that she treated me as a partner and friend rather than an impersonal client. She is a joy to work with and I have recommended her to all my friends and family. And the photos were artistically breathtaking! I'm so grateful!"KATHERINE SNELL, BRIDAL PORTRAIT CLIENT, MARCH 2008, ASHEVILLE, NC
"I would reccommend Sarah to ANY bride. she was very creative and accomodating. Her prices are great, and her end result is absolutely STUNNING!!!!"JILL AND BUD FLYNN, MARRIED OCT 4, 2008 AT THE BASILICA OF ST.LAWRENCE IN ASHEVILLE, NC
"Thank you so much for capturing one of the most special days of our lives! The whole day went by so quickly, it's good to know we have amazing pictures to remember it all by. You (Sarah) were so great to work with and we will strongly recommend you to friends/family in the future. Thanks" JESSICA AND JOHN CLARK, MARRIED SEPT 19, 2009 AT THE WILD HARE IN BLACK MOUNTAIN, NC
"Thank you so much for everything. Your (Sarah's) confidence in your profession helped me to relax. We had many compliments about how efficient she was and how great the photos on the blog look! Thanks so much!" MISTY AND JUSTIN AMOS, MARRIED JULY 18, 2009 IN ASHEVILLE, NC
