About Sarah Aviva Photography

Sarah

Founder, Photographer

Hi! I'm Sarah. Congratulations on taking the next step in your wedding planning! Choosing to work with me earns you more than just a photographer; you get a hype-girl, a dress fluffer, a confidant and a new best friend. Since we are now future besties, here's what you should know about me: My love for portraiture stems from the joy it brings me to make others feel beautiful. Few things make me feel as giddy as photographing weddings, engagements & proposals, and I can't wait to capture the next stage of your love story. My strengths lie in natural lighting, illuminating colors, and catching the candid moments that make you, you.

I attribute my success as a photographer to the way I make people feel. You should feel nothing short of cloud 9 on your wedding day, and you can count on me to ensure you feel relaxed and amped up to enjoy one of the most special days of your lives. From our first consultation to the delivery of your gallery, I will work tirelessly to accommodate your desires. We'll work together to customize your day, ensuring your most important moments are captured. I even serve as a mini-wedding planner, timing our photo schedule with all the events of your big day. Wedding planning should be fun - let me take one less thing off your to-do list.

    Beautiful Work, Wonderful Collaboration

    Sarah is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a wonderful collaborator. She consistently brings professionalism, creativity, and kindness to every experience. Most recently, her stunning photography helped showcase a wedding that was featured in The New York Times, beautifully capturing every thoughtful detail of the day. Beyond her talent behind the camera, Sarah is generous in supporting fellow vendors, always taking the time to credit and highlight the creative teams she works with. Her communication is seamless, her presence is calm and professional, and the final images are always exceptional. We highly recommend Sarah to any couple looking for a photographer who is not only gifted at her craft but also a genuine pleasure to work with!

    Best wedding-planning decision you'll make

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop what you are doing and book Sarah right now. I mean it. Sarah was our very first wedding vendor hire, and from the moment we signed with her, she set the tone for everything. Sarah is more than a photographer; she is a superwoman, a creative visionary, a logistical genius, and the most relentlessly positive person I have ever met in my life. Her dedication started long before the wedding day itself. When we realized we wouldn't have time for "detail" shots on the day-of, Sarah insisted (on her own initiative to be clear) on spending her Saturday afternoon weeks before the wedding photographing said details at our apartment. She also attended our venue walk-through, and somehow, without us even asking or knowing, seamlessly coordinated with our venue and day-of coordinators behind the scenes. On wedding day Sarah arrived early and stayed late. She spend the day with us traipsing around Williamsburg—from our hotel to the waterfront, onto the L train, and finally to the venue—and captured jaw-dropping photos every step of the way. The subway shots alone are something we will treasure forever. Beyond all of that, her eye is just extraordinary. Our photos are more beautiful than we ever could have imagined and, best of all, they look and feel authentic to us. Hire Sarah!!

    So grateful to have come across her

    Did I a surprise proposal and photoshoot afterwards with Sarah. Overall, great experience. First time doing any kind of professional photography shoots. She made it extremely fun and most importantly comfortable throughout the entire shoot. Also want to note how seamless it was planning a surprise proposal with Sarah. Helped with picking out a location and making sure she truly captured the entire moment. Highly recommend and would book again.

    An unforgettable experience!!

    Where do I even begin. Sarah was truly amazing to work with. I had originally sent my fiancé her website because I loved her work, and he ended up reaching out to her to plan everything. From the very beginning she was so responsive and helpful, and she really guided him through the whole process. She made everything so easy for him and was on top of every detail. When we finally met her in person she was even more wonderful than we expected. She is honestly the sweetest. So accommodating, so kind, and just incredibly understanding. She made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed the entire time. The photos are absolutely beautiful. The way she captured the little moments between us is something I will always treasure. Even the preview photos completely exceeded my expectations and I cannot stop looking at them. I am so grateful she was the one who captured such a special moment for us. These are memories we will cherish forever. Thank you so much Sarah!!

Definitely! All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. 5 retouched images (blemish removal, etc) are included in your wedding package, with additional retouches available for an additional charge.
For context, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by a trusted fellow wedding photographer. I’ll will personally help you find a replacement who is perfect for your wedding needs.
If you're looking for a second shooter (I'm happy to discuss the pros and cons with you), I can absolutely reach out to my trusted fellow photographers to ensure every aspect of your day is fully captured. Second shooters require an additional fee.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-8 weeks after your wedding. Upon request, and for an additional fee, I am happy to send you a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
Ask me any time! Though I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability so I can plan accordingly.
