I truly love what I do. Every time I am chosen to photograph someones wedding or family, I feel so lucky. It is an absolute privilege, which I never take for granted.
Please read through a few of the kind words from my incredible clients …
truly exceptional
“We were so lucky to hire Sadie Penn as the photographer for our wedding, she went above and beyond our expectations. My wife, Sorsha, and I were thrilled with the fantastic job she did capturing our special day.
From the outset, Sadie demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to ensuring that every moment of our wedding was immortalized in the most beautiful way possible. What truly set Sadie apart was her dedication to understanding us as a couple and the location of our wedding. She made it a point to visit our home to get to know us personally and to survey the wedding venue in advance. This initial consultation helped her not only plan for the best shots but also work out the perfect timing for each part of the day.
Sadie's attention to detail was extraordinary. She scouted the venue meticulously, identifying the best spots for photographs, including those magical sunset shots that we had dreamed of. Her ability to incorporate our specific requests, especially the desire for formal photos in addition to candid shots, was truly commendable. She managed to balance our vision with her professional expertise seamlessly.
We were thrilled with how promptly we received all our pre-wedding and wedding day photos. Sadie's editing skills were exceptional. She edited over 1000 photos from our big day, and even turned some of the black and white ones into color at our later request, which added a unique touch to our photo collection. The final result was a stunning array of pictures that truly captured the essence and emotions of our wedding.
On the day itself, Sadie's commitment to perfection was evident. She started early, ensuring she was present to capture the moments at both the groomsmen and bridesmaids' houses separately before the church ceremony. Her stamina was remarkable as she stayed until midnight, documenting every detail of our special day, including the memorable moments when we danced on our friends' shoulders during the final dance.
We simply cannot thank Sadie enough for her incredible work. Her dedication, professionalism, and talent were truly exceptional. We highly recommend Sadie Penn to anyone in search of a wedding photographer who goes above and beyond to capture the magic of the day. She made our wedding unforgettable, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you, Sadie!”

magical
“Sadie made our wedding day magical. Due to a family illness, my husband and I had two weeks to plan our wedding. We reached out to Sadie, and she was more than willing to capture our special day. She captured the most beautiful wedding photos. I could not thank her enough and hope we cross paths again.”

taking time
“We booked Sadie for our intimate wedding and we were very happy with the pictures! Sadie was very friendly but professional, taking time beforehand to understand what we wanted and prompt and attentive on the day, highly recommended. Thank you Sadie!”
Anastasia & Alex married at Weybridge Registry Office, Weybridge, Surrey
perfect choice
“We hired Sadie for our wedding at fairly short notice, and she was the perfect choice - easy to contact, friendly and helpful, and her portfolio spoke for itself.
Sadie arrived in plenty of time on the day and made everyone feel completely at home in front of the camera. She was familiar with our venue and had plenty of great suggestions for different shots. Our fully edited gallery was available only a few weeks later, even though it was in the middle of ‘wedding season’, and every single picture is stunning! Neither of us are particularly comfortable being photographed, but she managed to capture us looking relaxed, natural and happy. We couldn’t be more delighted with the result, and all our guests have loved them so far too! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sadie to anyone searching for a wedding photographer!”
Jenny & Chris married at Winchester Registry Office, Winchester, Hampshire
absolutely faultless
‘Sadie was our photographer for our wedding and she was absolutely faultless. We spoke with Sadie a few times before the wedding and she is lovely, friendly and has an amazing talent. She made us feel really comfortable and talked us through what sort of pictures she would be capturing during the day and when the photos arrived they were perfect. Sadie has captured every special moment of the day and we were are so pleased. She did a fantastic job, and on the day was so patient and calm that it made us feel more relaxed. We cannot thank Sadie enough for being a part of our day!’

really friendly
“I booked Sadie to be our wedding photographer. Sadie was really friendly in the consultation and talked us through different options and listened to our ideas. On our wedding day, the process was exactly as Sadie had proposed and she had also scouted the area and suggested other good ideas. The wedding photographs are excellent and the gallery website is great and easily accessible for sharing with guests. Sadie listened to our requests and made us feel comfortable so the photographs look natural. We are really pleased Sadie's service and with the result of our wedding album she made.”

so kind
“We booked Sadie after reading reviews about her amazing photography, but what we liked best was that everyone described her as professional, empathic, compassionate, unobtrusive and that she just knows how to deliver exactly what was wanted. We couldn’t agree more. Everything was perfect, from our initial phone conversation, Sadie understood exactly what we as a couple wanted which was slightly different being a second marriage with 4 nervous teenagers and a terminally ill mum in the mix. At our pre wedding zoom she had worked out all the timings, spoken ahead to all the relevant people to get the best shots. On the day she was there early to find the best light, and as expected was so kind, quietly and professionally getting all the right shots whilst making us feel like we weren’t even being photographed. I didn’t even notice her in the church but she took the most fantastic photographs. Sadie just understood the brief, communicated throughout, turned the photos around quickly and we just couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. Every photo we wanted was in the album - even the dark shots in the snow came out perfectly! We couldn’t recommend Sadie highly enough and are so pleased she was part of our special day. Memories to last forever!”

little moments
“Sadie is great! Not only the quality of her work but she is personable and so kind. She bent over backwards to make our intimate wedding ceremony the most magical experience. She captured every part of the day; the little moments, the relationships and battled the rain for us. Everyone is saying they are like magazine shots and we can’t stop looking at them. She is someone who makes you feel at ease and can be trusted to do a great job! Thanks Sadie!”

so happy
“I was so happy with all the photos Sadie took for us. She captured our day perfectly. Sadie was brilliant from the first phone conversation, keeping in contact right up to our day. After a problem with a different company, Sadie restored my confidence and took away any stress. She was friendly and professional and I highly recommend- my sister plans to use Sadie for her up-coming wedding too!”

Sadie captured our wedding beautifully. My husband and I are not too keen on being photographed, yet Sadie managed to get fabulous, natural photographs and we both felt very comfortable.

patience
“We've now been lucky enough to have two photoshoots with Sadie and have been blown away by the results - the photos were stunning and Sadie managed to capture the most beautiful and candid moments, exactly as we had hoped. Our second photoshoot was with a tired toddler and even then, Sadie's patience and kindness ensured we still managed to get plenty of beautiful photos. Thank you, Sadie - we can't wait to have more photos with you!”
