"My husband and I are still gushing about having Sarah capture our day"
"My husband and I both agree, we could not imagine our wedding with out Sarah Van Hecke Photography! My husband and I, along with both our families are still gushing about having Sarah capture our day. Sarah was there for our entire wedding journey from our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. We can not thank them enough for all they did for us. We will be using Sarah Van Hecke for all future family photos!"

"Sarah is so easy to work with and will make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera"
Sarah was amazing! Our pictures are beautiful. We get so many compliments on them from friends and family. She is also so easy to work with and will make you feel very comfortable in front of the camera even if you're not used to taking it pictures. I love being able to look back on our wedding day with lots of fond memories thanks to the moments she captured.

Do you shoot film?
Yes, but at this point it is at my discretion whether or not the wedding day permits film. I am still learning about film, so it is very much a fun, creative outlet right now. I do plan on offering film as an add on in the future.
Do you travel?
Absolutely!!! I love to travel. Travel fees do apply in most cases, but if I am already planning on being somewhere and you can meet me there, I waive the fee!
Do you always have a second shooter?
I always have a second shooter on a wedding day. For portrait sessions, I don't include a second shooter unless it's special circumstances where I feel like I need an assitant.
We are awkward, can you pose us?
I am an expert at creating joyful, intimate photos through my signature posing system. I will guide you into flattering poses that are true to you as a couple!
How many Images can we expect?
You can expect about 100 edited images per hour of shooting on a wedding day!
Do you offer albums or prints?
Absolutely! I include a small starter album with every wedding collection, because I believe your images were meant to be printed! There are options to upgrade & customize as well. There is also a store attached to your gallery for high quality, professional prints.
How far in advance do you book weddings?
I book as far as 14 months in advance.
How long have you been in business?
I have been in business for 7 years! It has been the best experience and I have grown so much both personally and professionally in that time.
Do you have preffered vendors you like to work with?
Absolutely, I send all my couples vendor recommendations of people I have worked with before and would trust 100%!
