Testimonials

"

We got married in Sept 2021 and we could not be happier with how our wedding pictures turned out! Every single detail was captured in such an elegant way. Sarah also did our engagement photo session earlier in the year which came out amazing! Sarah makes you feel extremely comfortable so you can be ‘yourself’ in photos. She has great suggestions to capture emotional shots without anything looking forced or overdone. Sarah is super responsive and flexible. We upgraded to a 10hour wedding day package the month of our wedding and Sarah made this change extremely easy, sending over an updated contract right away and changing her schedule to meet our needs. Would 100% recommend choosing Banko Photo!

We were very pleased with Sarah's photography services for our wedding. She was incredibly attentive to our needs, and her finished product was amazing. We appreciate that she took the time to research the venue before hand and even took several landscape shots that we were really excited about. We both felt that her pricing was reasonable considering the amount of time she spent with us and editing the photos. Her website was intuitive to use and easy to share with friends and family. Sarah was active on social media and even shared some of our photos the next day after the wedding. Everyone agreed that the pictures were excellent. We will absolutely use her services again and refer her to others.

We cannot recommend Banko Photo enough! From start to finish, we were extremely satisfied with our experience and loved working with Sarah. She was prompt in her correspondence and worked with our hectic schedule. During our shoot she made us feel laid back and comfortable, which in turn helped her capture the true essence of our family.

Sarah at Banko Photo did our family photo shoot this year and we had a blast!  She went above and beyond in the rainy fog to deliver photo we will always treasure.  My two kids had a blast and didn't want Sarah to leave AND she included the family dog at their request.  We look forward to more family photo sessions with Sarah for years to come!
