You MUST hire Thistle + Stone!
We chose Sarah because of her obvious skill and her accommodating personality. She was able to gauge our personalities perfectly and was very clear in all her communication. She helped make a really effective photo schedule for the wedding and was very supportive. We were very reassured by how Sarah was able to handle a last minute change in plans. We also really appreciated her patience with our families and the wealth of knowledge and experience she shared from all the weddings she's worked before. The photos are perfect; very well composed and edited. We'd recommend Thistle + Stone to anyone. They may be slightly more expensive than some other photographers, but it's 100% worth it!!!We chose Sarah because of her obvious skill and her accommodating personality.

My new favorite person!
I don't even know how described how amazing everything was from the very beginning. Sarah responded very quickly, answered all my questions, and was beyond kind before we even officially booked. And between her responses and portfolio, booking was a no brainer!
Any idea I threw her way, she was down with! Including hiking through tall brush and mud, then going on a very steep, and very muddy, hike into a gorge.
She was so kind and funny every step of the way and I would 100% book her again on her personality alone, but if you add her photography skills to the mix, it becomes 1000%. I'm absolutely blown away by the photos she took... They're magical and beautiful and sexy and everything in-between. She is so good at capturing and maintaining personality in her photos, I'm in awe.
I didn't think my wedding day could have been anymore perfect, but she proved me wrong and thanks to Sarah, I get to look back and remember it forever!I don't even know how described how amazing everything was from the very beginning.

The perfect wedding and adventure photographer
Sarah was the best photographer we could have asked for. She was professional yet relaxed, and made us feel like she had everything under control and made us confident that our pictures looked great! Before, during and after the wedding Sarah made us feel at ease. Our family and friends all thought she were great and everyone was excited to see the photos.Sarah was the best photographer we could have asked for.

Fabtastic!
Thistle & Stone were fab from the off, Sarah was the only photographer of the 6 that we reached out too who contacted us and asked if we were ok with a video chat. It was a great way of getting to know her and her to know us. She also sent us some questionnaires so that she knew the sort of thing we liked and the 'feel' we were after with our photos.Thistle & Stone were fab from the off, Sarah was the only photographer of the 6 that we reached out too who contacted us and asked if we were ok with a video chat.

Pre wedding destination photoshoot
Sarah did a pre-wedding photoshoot for my wife and I at the dead sea in jordan. She has a very artistic eye and was very courteous and professional. She responded promptly to our questions and concerns and we were very comfortable working with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.Sarah did a pre-wedding photoshoot for my wife and I at the dead sea in jordan. She has a very artistic eye and was very courteous and professional.

Brilliant Photography and Customer Service
Sarah has been excellent throughout our entire process and has provided fantastic photos of our wedding. We really enjoyed working with Sarah, as she is friendly and very understanding.
As we had a small wedding, we were very selective when picking our vendors as we wanted someone who would support us and make us feel comfortable, and Sarah did! We booked an adventure session before the wedding, which was helpful in seeing how we fit in with Sarah’s photography style and how working with her would be on the wedding day. We had so much fun felt extremely comfortable. When taking portraits on the wedding day, we already established a sense of comfort not just with Sarah, but with taking photos in general, which I believe is reflected in how beautiful and genuine our photos are from both sessions.
Sarah also brought her deep understanding of the wedding industry and how photography plays a part in it. She offered wedding planning advice, which was vital in my planning, especially regarding the wedding day schedule. We also discussed the layout of the venue and what might affect the photos such as lighting and positioning, which helped to manage my expectations for what the photos would look like. Because of her advice and expertise, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the day and savor every moment.
She set clear expectations for communication and timelines of when our photos would be back, and even supplied us with a website that included weekly updates on where she was with editing.
Sarah really goes above and beyond for her clients. I would recommend her time and time again.Sarah has been excellent throughout our entire process and has provided fantastic photos of our wedding. We really enjoyed working with Sarah, as she is friendly and very understanding.

Fairy Tale Wedding
I love every photo Sarah took. They are dramatic, personal, and most of all tell the story of my magical day. We hired her a year and a few months before our Scottish Elopement. She kept in contact with us the whole year, getting to know us, and our story. Wedding day came and I had a friend capturing my special day. She always went the extra mile for us and worked tirelessly on my photos. I loved working her and would do so again.I love every photo Sarah took.

Sarah captures every detail beautifully
When I saw Sarah’s portfolio I could see all the warmth, colour and natural beauty I wanted our own wedding to radiate. I had every faith that Sarah would capture this for us. She was super flexible with our timeline and the logistics of our venues (it was just a small 30 mile juggling act between them all) and her pricing was really reasonable. She asked every question under the sun in preparation to ensure she captured exactly what we wanted. On the day I unfortunately felt really unwell, but Sarah (and her wonderful photography partner Matt) were so patient and kind and kept my spirits high – as well as being everywhere they needed to be and perfectly on time, not missing a moment.
After our big day, the wedding blues really got to me – the big, beautiful day had been and gone and my lasting memory was feeling unwell. But, when our first round of pictures were sent to us, memories of so much joy and all the most wonderful parts of the day came flooding back to me, my wedding blues were cured and my lasting memory is now of all the happiness that the day was full to the brim with – to the point that when I most recently spoke to Sarah and she reminded me of how unwell I was on the day, I had all but forgot about it and could only really remember the high points, thank goodness!
Sarah’s work resulted in just short of 2000 pictures of our guests looking gorgeous in an autumnal haven, my husband crying his eyes out (he was happy, I promise) and so many little moments that otherwise might not have been remembered. I look at them all the time and I’m so grateful that we can immerse ourselves in that day so entirely. And it’s always a pleasure to hear from Sarah and catch up with her – even a whole year on from our wedding.

Wedding 21.10.23
Sarah was amazing from start to finish - the perfect balance of casual and professional. She makes sure you feel comfortable and is so attentive and understanding.
Our photos are to die for and she really captured our love for one another so beautifully. The talent is off the scale!
We had a traditional church wedding and she catered to exactly what we wanted. As the bride in the morning I had a bit of a wobble and she was so lovely and helped me so much with extra bits!!
I cannot recommend Sarah enough. You really made our day even better.Sarah was amazing from start to finish - the perfect balance of casual and professional. She makes sure you feel comfortable and is so attentive and understanding.

Amazing photographer, couldn't recommend more!
I loved having Sarah as our photographer!! You were so lovely, helpful and friendly! Definitely more than a photographer! And let's not forget you saved the day on a few occasions, for which I am super grateful!!
Also I appreciated you giving us little hints on how to be in the photographs, how to pose a little bit (which is what I wanted) .
