Testimonial - Thank you from Dean and Suzi

Sarah, you have so completely captured the essence, atmosphere and emotion of our wedding day and when we look at the pictures not only do we see pictures which we are thrilled with but it's like stepping back into the moment and feeling again what we did on that oh so amazing day!

Your meeting with us us before the wedding to talk through the whole day, the photos we wanted and to give us some preparation about posing was absolutely invaluable as you then understood exactly what we wanted - and you delivered completely! It was also helpful to get used to posing and what not to do prior to the actual day.

On the day Sarah you did such an amazing job and worked quickly and professionally.

Our pictures are beyond all expectations and we can now look back at what was definitely the most fantastic day of our lives and relive every moment through the pictures. We all look so stylish, glamorous and fabulous, but still totally relaxed - I simply cannot believe it - you have captured everyone perfectly!

Aside from the photos you are such a warm and wonderful person, you put everyone at their ease and had them smiling in no time! Your wedding photographer is someone who is around and by your side all day - and there during some of the most intimate and exciting moments - you are exactly the kind of person a Bride wants around!

Testimonial - Andrew and Becky

Thank you Sarah for creating memories of our special day through your photographs. They capture amazing moments that we can treasure forever. Thank you for your hard work and patience as well as your creativity and sense of fun. You made us feel special and cared for and we knew we could absolutely trust in your ability. We would (and do freqently) recommend you to anyone!
Once again, thank you so much.

HELLO! magazine

I was tickled pink to hear that a couple of my photos appeared in Hello! magazine this week! One of the loveliest brides of this summer, Sarah Wood sent in some photos from her and Ollie's wedding and they've been published in their real life weddings section (page 134).

As Ollie said in his Facebook link to the article 'Cheesy, but we like it'

Testimonial - Claira and Paul

We are so pleased that we asked Sarah to take our wedding photos for us, we really appreciated the time she took to get to know us and find out exactly what we wanted on our wedding day - the engagement shoot was a great success, what a marvelous idea! On our wedding day Sarah blended in with our guests effortlessly, and took so many great photos it's been difficult to choose our favourites. We wanted minimul fuss, and Sarah was so relaxed and easy to work with that we had great fun, she really made the day that much more enjoyable and truly did her best to ensure that she captured us and our wedding at its best. I would highly recommend her to any future bride.

Off to Spain for Suzi and Dean's nuptials!

I am getting excited as later in the Summer Suzi and Dean have their three day wedding celebration with friends and family in Spain, and I'm their photographer!

We had Suzi and Dean's Engagement shoot way back in July along with a quirky session for a truly original invitation design dreamed up by Suzi. We had fun in the evening sun in their back garden and took some pictures that are firm favourites of mine! I know there's going to be so many beautiful pictures I'd better stock up on more flashcards to make sure I don't run out of memory as I am bound to get carried away!!

Testimonial - Sarah and Ollie's wedding

We were so pleased we picked Sarah Aires to be our wedding photographer. She had already come highly recommended and we were certainly not disappointed - she exceeded all of our expectations.

Sarah is very friendly and relaxed and listened to what we wanted and also made suggestions taking into consideration what we liked and what we were comfortable with. She put 100% effort into our day with detailed contracts, a practice photo shoot and visiting our venue; Wotton House. On the day, Sarah got all the shots we wanted and took such breathtaking pictures of the chapel and us. She took pictures that truly captured the emotion of the day and how we were feeling.

Sarah has such a keen eye for detail and takes shots that other people might miss and also has a very good technical grasp on lighting and angles! The result is so original and unique and really illustrates her style and identity.
Sarah and Ollie Wood

(Thanks again Sarah for creating such a beautiful collection of memories for us.)

Testimonial - Sue and Nick's Wedding

Really enjoyed capturing the wedding day of Sue and Nick who had their relaxed reception for family and close friends in the dreamy village of Peaslake near Guildford - another wonderful sunny May afternoon. The children had free run of the hotel garden and I was in my element taking pictures of them having fun while they grown ups were taking their time over the Wedding Breakfast. Here are a couple of the kind messages I've had..


...Just to say a huge THANK YOU for all your help on our big day - whether it was organising me, making me drink, helping with my last minute make-up or some friendly "directing" at the reception. You fitted in so well and your whole approach to the day was exceptionally thoughtful and very helpful. We're really pleased with our photographs and they show your special talent for taking pictures of children.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

All the very best

Sue and Nick

Dear Sarah

Just a quick note to say what a fantastic job you have done with the photos for my sister's wedding, we were absolutely delighted with them. It was a pleasure to meet you and wish you all the best from bonny Scotland.

Regards

Nick and Rhona Garrad

Testimonial - Chris and Helen's wedding

We really enjoyed the Sarah Aires Photography experience, from the first time we met Sarah, we found her very warm, friendly and personal, and she did more then meet our expectations with the shoots. We had a practice shoot before our big day, which really helped as it gave us an idea of the photos we wanted on the day.

We have recently received our wedding photo collection, and are extremely delighted with the outcome. We will recommend Sarah to any of our friends and family. We also felt the price for the whole experience was very reasonable.

Congratulations to Helen and Chris....

It was such a privilege to be part of this great couple's wedding day last week. Some especially emotional moments- its best not to cry when you're holding the camera! Rain as forecast meant we didn't get to jog around the lake like we did for the practice session but it stopped so we could make the most of the beautiful setting sunlight!

Testimonial - Sue and Nick, Engagement Shoot

Neither my fiancé, Nick, or I are overly fond of being in front of the camera; but we were pleasantly surprised that we actually thoroughly enjoyed the informal shoot we had recently at Wisley Gardens with Sarah. We felt so "at home" with her we were able to relax and go with the flow. Her infectious enthusiasm and very friendly style put us completely at our ease. Her personal and very flexible approach have also always been helpful.

As for the results, we were very pleased with the photos and their very thoughtful presentation. We’re really "chuffed" that we’ve booked Sarah as our photographer for our special day, especially as it’s a small informal wedding with lots of children. Capturing children and families is one her big strengths and we feel she will "fit in" so well with the friendly atmosphere we’re hoping for on our special day.

Testimonial - Simon and Anna Brading

"We wanted a photographer who could capture both the classic wedding shots and the spontaneous magic of the moment, and Sarah did just that. She was organised, didn't get in the way and great fun, yet still managed to produce professional photos. Her service before, during and after the wedding has been superb, we'd highly recommend her to anyone."

Testimonial - Anna & Simon's wedding

Steve & I are absolutely delighted with your excellent photography of Simon & Anna's wedding - you have really captured the magic of the whole day, from the preparations of the bride, walking to church, the service, and the reception; such a great combination of shots and poses combining traditional as well as more unconventional....Many stunning photos! The joy of the wedding really shines through. Thank you so much!

Ruth and Steve Brading

Anna and Simon's wedding

We photographed a lovely wedding in St Alban's Shendish Manor last weekend. The really gorgeous young couple, Anna and Simon had in most parts a traditionally styled white wedding but they added some cheeky red additions like Anna's fab red satin stilettos.

It was a privilege to be part of Anna and Simon's day - I especially enjoyed the sincere live worship which formed part of their moving church wedding ceremony. Simon is leading the worship at a big Christian youth festival 'newday' http://www.newday.xtn.org/
next week so I'm sure he'll be flat out as soon as he gets back from honeymoon. I do hope they like their pictures!
