I just wanted to thank you so much for all your great work at the wedding last night.  We really enjoyed spending the evening with you.  Best, Jennifer 

Hi Lisa,   

I have spent the last 4 hours looking at photos and I am NOT kidding! These photos are sensational! Beyond spectacular.  Sarah is so talented it is INSANE! I want to “heart” every picture, print them all and have them…I don’t even know where to start or how to pick…any help on how to best narrow would be greatly appreciated. Also, how do I share the link…just forward to family and they can log in with their own email? I don’t want to cross with their hearts…etc.  Thankyou in advance. 

Yeah!  

Sarah- You guys nailed it. The pictures don’t lie. That party had an incredible amount of energy. Somehow you captured it. Great job!!    Thanks!  Debbie – Mother of the Bride 

Sarah!!!!!!!! 

You were one of our favorite parts of the evening. Great photographer AND fun to have around! 

Thank you for helping make the evening memorable for us.   With gratitude, 

I don’t have anything but amazing things to say about Sarah Merians.  We used Sarah Merians for both photography and videography for our wedding.  From start to finish, I wholeheartedly trusted them to capture the most important day of my life.  Our photographer, Liel, is amazing!  We used him for our engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to get to know him and his style before the wedding.  He’s professional, fun and insanely talented.  Everyone raved about him.  Liel and the videographer Davitte worked seamlessly together.  The photo booth was well worth it-All our guests had a blast taking pictures with fun props!  Everyone we worked with at Sarah Merians was responsive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.  I’d highly recommend using them! 

Hey Sarah,    

Did not get a chance to say goodbye last night. Just want you to know we really appreciated your work yesterday and everything you did to capture our wedding. Look forward to seeing the pictures. Thank you.  

Hi Lisa, WOW!  The video is absolutely amazing.  Thank you very much!  We watched the highlight real and are working through the whole video.  The photos are great too.   

OMG!  I just sat down to look at the album.  It is MAGNIFICENT!  Just no words. Every picture is perfection and captured the night so perfectly.    Thank YOU!!!! 

Dear Sarah, 

Perhaps the smartest thing we did when we started planning our kids’ b’nai mitzvah? CALL YOU!!! 

Truly, I have admired your work for years…and now that I’ve actually gotten to know you and work with you, I admire YOU and your artistry more than ever!!!! I can’t tell you how many compliments we’ve gotten about your pics every step of the way. From our pre-shoot to the service day… to our re-scheduled party… everything you’ve shot looks utterly gorgeous. And the silver lining of our postponement was that we actually got to work with you… in addition to your talented staff 🙂 Some things really do have a way of working out, huh!! (And again, we really appreciate your flexibility re: our date change.) 

So, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing your talent (and your personality 🙂 with us. We can’t wait to see the rest of the goods and put together the albums.  It’ll be like reliving our party :) 

Thanks again and rock on!!  

Liel is amazing!!!!  He captured our day so perfectly.  Sarah Merians is always amazing…first our wedding in 2001 and now our son’s Mar Mitzvah in 2022.  Thank you!!! 

I hope you are having an enjoyable day.  My name is Demetria Johnson.  I work with the Public Relations side of BWTT.  I first and foremost wanted to express what an absolute pleasure it was to have Ms Sheila Aviles onsite during the conference. She made everyone feel welcomed and warm in front of her lens.  There is no doubt this will exude through her photos.  Would you happen to have the images ready by chance?  I would like to send them out to publications with post release coverage, as that is timely. Also, I want to make sure proper credit is given when the images are used. Should it read, “Sheila Aviles c/o Sarah Merians Photography & Video Company?  Looking forward to connecting with you.

We have hired Sarah Merians Photography to photograph student graduations at Sotheby’s Institute of Art – New York for years. Sarah is a pleasure to work with. She is always on top of things and makes sure we are well taken care of. The photographers are professional, courteous, and talented! We’ve been impressed with the photos every year and have never been disappointed. Our events are large in scale and Sarah’s photographers have been friendly, calm, and they make sure we get every shot we ask for and more!  The photos are amazing.  Thank you for another successful graduation ceremony!  Looking forward to next year! 

Sarah:  I loved having you at my party.  Many of my guests could not believe you were everywhere all night.  The album is really great in every way, love it.  I cannot thank you enough.  I cannot wait to show it to my kids and multi grandchildren.  I hope to find a way to work together again, way before my 90th. 

We are grateful for Sarah Merians Photography!  I look at our stunning photos and albums ALL the time! (1994, 2001, & 2016 weddings and Bar Mitzvah…so happy) #thankful 

It looks incredible! You jazzed me up! Thank you again 😊 

Hi Sarah- It’s Candace.  Just wanted to say your team and you did such a great job – I am so excited to see the photos.  Thanks so much! 

OMG, got the pictures and just finished looking at them.  They are AMAZING!!! 

I’m hearing glowing reviews from both photo shoots. Thank you for being you! 
Alison 

Sarah, 

You were amazing on Friday at the pre-prom!! Thank you so much for being here and for your patience with all the kids and families who wanted 1000 pictures!! I can’t believe we were so lucky with the weather and that your car was parked right in front of the museum!! 

Everyone is chomping at the bit for the pics!  

Thank you!!!    Xoxo

Sarah, we love you and think you are very cool!  In addition to being an excellent photographer, Sarah’s energy makes her an absolute delight to work with.  Her quiet confidence is contagious and throughout the shoot you will grow increasingly comfortable being in front of the camera.  Whether you need professional headshots, family photos or an entire event captured, you can trust that Sarah will live up to her exceptional reputation for getting it just right. Thank you Sarah! 

Thank you so much!!!  Wow such a quick turnaround Sarah and beautiful photos.  You have been a pleasure to work with. 

I just finished looking at all the photos with Ali and Andy.  They’re wonderful.  We are all so happy.  You really captured the beauty and love of the island.  Standing here with them and we can’t thank you enough.  Truly gorgeous pictures! 

“We highly recommend it! Liel and the team were amazing! Everywhere we looked (and our guests!) we could find a photographer to take the pictures we wanted. Liel’s energy, passion, and creativity is phenomenal. He was such an important and fun part of our day!”

“Jenny was the photographer for 2 of my childrens’ weddings within 5 months. Talk about stress! But Jenny took all of the stress out of photographing every special moment from literally every angle. Jenny put everyone at total ease so that shots were filled with a very natural happiness. She is so energetic, filled with fun, and had an incredible ability to see and photograph even the smallest detail so every moment is captured. One of the brides is now pregnant – Guess who will be doing the baby pictures?”

“We had a wonderful experience with Sheila and team!! Their perfect mix of candid and posed photos truly captured the magic of the entire day, from getting ready in robes, up until the end. We look forward to cherishing these memories forever!”

The albums are getting rave reviews and bringing many smiles as they bring us back to that special day! They will be treasured. Thank you again for your beautiful photographs.

Thank you for your assistance, patience, and guidance over the last few months! It was a pleasure working with you in making our event a success. All of our attendees were floored by the quality, hospitality, and attention to detail of everything and everyone involved.

Was great working with Sarah – We loved having [her] team, spirit and enthusiasm for the job and project onsite!.

Working with Sarah was fantastic. She required very little direction, was aggressive in the best way possible and always got the shot.

Thank you to the Sarah Merians team for jumping in and handling the last minute rush and especially for the rapid turnaround of the photos. They are exactly what we were looking and hoping for and we are so excited to share them! You set a high-bar for the other events this week!

Sarah is incredibly talented and a lot of fun to work with! She can get the most hardened, serious lawyer to smile!

I would like to express my gratitude for your quick and tireless efforts with GBTA’s inaugural WINIT gala. We really appreciate your high level of coordination, flexibility and cooperation with the logistics of the event. The feedback from our attendees’ experience was amazing and we could not have done it without Sarah Merians Photography & Video Company!”

We are THRILLED with how the video came together! We can’t watch it enough! Thank you!

“The bat mitzvah was wonderful and we absolutely LOVE Sarah. She is fantastic and having her there was a dream. We were so entranced by and confident in her picture taking ability that we didn’t even take any photos on our phone! Can’t wait to see what you send!”

“The photos are amazing! Will be very difficult to choose (for the album) – Sarah was amazing!”

“I can’t thank you enough. The whole day was perfect from beginning to end and I could not have been happier. People thought the photos you took of Steph on the walls were beautiful”

I cannot tell you how happy we are that we chose you to help us capture this milestone in our lives! Liel was absolutely perfect! He did such a fabulous job getting every shot quickly and seamlessly…he was so skilled in his set up and composition…He was kind and unintrusive. He was professional and respectful and extremely hard working all day and night! Thank you and A++ for Liel and the Sarah Merians team!!

I want to reiterate how thankful (we are) for your time and your professionalism this week. I know we can be tough but you managed everyone so well and had them all leaving (their headshot session) feeling confident! Thank you, thank you!”

“Sarah is not only a great photographer, she is an amazing director with a keen and creative eye! Photoshoots for my team of 16+ normally takes all day but with her energy and direction, we were done in half the time with twice the selection options. The Field Team loved working with Sarah and can’t wait for our next shoot.

“Sarah is the BEST wedding photographer ever. She is detail oriented, on top of everything in a way that is unparalleled, is extremely professional and also FUN!! She even pulled out some amazing dance moves at the end of the night, all while taking the most incredible photos! We could not be more happy with our decision to work with Sarah and her team. They go above and beyond to deliver exactly what you want.. and more!! We love you Sarah!”

“We found Sarah to be a warm, engaging personality which made us comfortable with her quickly. Her suggestions were easy to respond to and we did. The result was an outstanding collection of wedding photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives!”

A note to say what a pleasure it was working with you last evening. Joel and I are extremely grateful for your talent, creativity and professional manner. It was truly a wonderful experience during a memorable time in our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sarah and her team were amazing! We had a pretty tight timeline for pictures between our ceremony and reception and were worried we wouldn’t be able to get it all in but Sarah was so efficient and flexible with us that we were able to take pictures in our desired location and still make it to cocktail hour right on time, which friends and family swore to me would not happen! Not only was she able to accommodate our timeline the day of, but she made it stress-free, seamless, and easy for us which allowed us to to enjoy every minute of it. Our pictures came out incredible and were available 3 days after our wedding! Can’t wait to work with Sarah and her team again soon! 🙂
