Testimonials

Sarah Lee and her staff made our photo shoot an amazingly fun and memorable experience. She captured a beautiful moment in our life through an artistic lens…we will forever be grateful for the photos!

~Beth and Megan 2011 Family Portraits

Sarah Lee Welch photography is unbelievable. First, I have to comment on her as a person. She is very friendly and open to ideas. She is also a wonderful mixture of both professional and laid back. David was working in Breckenridge when we wanted to get our engagement photos done, and Sarah actually drove all the way up there to work with us. Both her and her assistant were extremely important to our wedding experience. She helped keep things moving and kept me calm. Her absolute talent in photography is incredible and will be hanging in our home for the rest of our lives. Currently we have our engagement and wedding photos from her framed, and hope to add many family photo sessions to the collection as our family grows. Sarah, a very big thank you! I cannot imagine a better experience.

~Megan and David 2011 Wedding

We are from Omaha, Nebraska but wanted a beautiful wedding in Estes Park.  Planning a destination wedding can be a challenge but when it came to our photographer, things could not have been easier.  Looking through Sarah’s website, we immediately could tell how talented she was.  We gave her a call and were instantly sold.  She’s extremely professional and her energy is contagious.  She LOVES her job and she brings positive energy to every single event.  On the wedding day we were so glad we chose Sarah.  She not only took beautiful group photos, but she took pictures that captured the details and precious moments of our big day.  Thank you so much, Sarah!

~Kevin and Crystal 2011 Wedding

Sarah Lee Welch Photography truly captured memories that will last a lifetime for us. We have used her for two sessions so far and are excited to continue to use her!

~Mandi and Nathan 2011 Maternity and Newborn Portraits

Sarah’s love and passion for photography is the number one reason we chose her as the photographer for our wedding.  You can see her energy within each of her pictures.  Throughout our entire wedding, including planning and ordering pictures after, she was professional and available to help us with any questions we had.  We could not be more pleased with our decision to have Sarah as our photographer.

~Danielle and Jon 2011 Wedding

Upon meeting Sarah Lee, we knew she was the right photographer for us. Her passion and excitement for her job is readily apparent, and once you look through her photographs, you see she’s extremely talented as well. In the months leading up to our wedding, Sarah Lee was invaluable in providing us with advice and helping us schedule the big day. She was patient with all of our questions and went above and beyond. And when the big day arrived, she was relaxed and calming – something I, as the bride, was very much in need of! She even helped tie up my dress when we were having difficulty! On top of her wonderful presence on the day of, the photographs she took were absolutely stunning. It’s hard to put into words how beautiful everything turned out! We can’t tell you how many people have complimented them and raved about what an excellent photographer we chose. Choosing Sarah Lee to be your wedding photographer is one of the best decisions you’ll make!

~Lauren and Ezra 2011 Wedding

I am the owner of Sounds of the Rockies Entertainment Group in Colorado.  We refer Sarah Lee Welch for two reasons.  First, when I met Sarah, her personality was magnetic!  She is always smiling and extremely pleasant to be around!  As soon as I mentioned her to my DJs, they already knew her and raved about what a pleasure she was to work with!  Second, through my DJs and seeing Sarah’s work, I was thoroughly impressed with her photographs and talent.  We were excited to ask Sarah to be featured as our recommended photographer and proudly display her work in our office showroom to our clients. Since meeting and working with Sarah Lee Welch, I have personally had her photograph our family portraits.  As much as I love Sarah’s work in the wedding industry, I was equally impressed and pleased with our personal family photos.  As always, she was such a pleasure to work with and the end result was AMAZING! I give Sarah Lee Welch Photography my highest recommendation not only as a fellow business owner and wedding professional, but also on the personal side as a talented, truly fantastic photographer for any occasion!

~Michelle Kennedy 2011 Family Portraits 

GOODNESS!!! So many pictures that we love so much! Thank you again for helping us share our special day and remember every little thing about our day! We appreciate everything and we can’t wait to get many more pictures from you in the future!!! Thank you again for everything Sarah, you are absolutely amazing at what you do!

~Emily and Sean 2011 Wedding

Love love love the pictures!!! Thanks so much! I always have so much fun looking back at the beautiful photos taken by Sarah Lee Welch of my wedding day. The pictures taken provide a wonderful documentary of the entirety of my perfect day; from getting ready to walk down the aisle to the very end of the reception. We had so much fun because we were able to simply show our love for each other and spend some great time with our wedding party and guests while Sarah Lee captured the moments. My husband and I received many compliments from our guests regarding Sarah Lee’s energy and enthusiasm and how she seemed to always be moving around the room; often even standing on chairs to get a perfect shot. We loved that the wedding package she provided came with an engagement photo session because we got a chance to spend some time with her before the big day so we knew we could expect complete professionalism along with a fantastic sense of fun… and, of course, perfect pictures. Thank you, Sarah Lee.

Yay oh my goodness thank you so much! They’re so perfect!

~Teghan and Bobby 2010 Engagement

We LOVE the pics! Sarah is fantastic! I honestly can say that I have nothing negative to say about her business. She was very professional, easy to work with and did awesome work for a great price. As a bride having a destination wedding in Estes Park, I was nervous about finding quality vendors without referrals. However, as soon as I talked with Sarah, I realized that I had no need to worry. Not only was she flexible to meet with us when we were finally able to make it to Loveland to meet with her but she was also a great resource for finding other vendors in the area. We have received so many compliments on our pictures! We especially love our amazing Canvas Collage! I would recommend Sarah Lee Welch Photography to anyone that is looking for great quality at an affordable price.

~Michaela and Chad 2010 Wedding

The pictures are amazing!  I just love them! Thanks you so much, you really captured every moment of the wedding!  I didn’t even remember some of it! You did such a great job!  Thanks again, you are wonderfull at what you do!

~Sara and Mike 2010 Wedding

What an outstanding job you did for Landon and I last Friday! We can’t thank you enough!! Your character and attention to detail was fabulous and just what we needed. You were more than just our photographer (and a splendid one at that ;) ) but you helped out soooo much! From putting the boutoneeres on the groomsmen to handling the punch fiasco – you went above and beyond and we are so grateful to you! Again, sorry for the chaos – we had a very large group!!! You did great and we can’t wait to do a rock the dress session with you as well :)

 ~Breann and Brian 2010 Engagement

Anyone who is needs any kind of photography should hire you! You have such a beautiful heart, and spirit. You are blessed to have such great skills taking photos. Some of the best photos were the one on the couch with the bridesmaids and me, the one where all the bridal party is set out on the rocks, the one where I am in front with my flowers out on the rocks and Brandon is shadowed almost falling in the background, and my most favorite is out on the rocks where Brandon and I are looking at each other. But it%u2019s really to hard to choose which one is my top favorite, because there are too many to choose from! Thank you for everything. Everyone at the reception loved your pictures, and the slideshow! Thank you for everything!

~Krista and Brandon 2010 Wedding
