HAINES

Wedding photographer, Wife and Mom of Three - based out of Western Pennsylvania

Welcome

First, congratulations 🤍
This season you’re stepping into is something truly special, and it means so much to be considered as part of it.

Your wedding photographs should be more than just beautiful, they should feel like you.
The quiet, in between moments. The laughter that can’t be planned. The emotion you’ll come back to years from now and feel all over again.

My team and I approach every wedding with a calm presence, thoughtful guidance, and a deep focus on what matters most. We’re not just documenting how your day looks—we’re protecting how it feels while you’re living it.

Because of that, we don’t believe in one size fits all collections.
Your proposal is thoughtfully built around your priorities, your people, and your vision for the day,  so the experience feels just as meaningful as the images themselves.



I would be honored to walk through this experience with you and create something lasting.

Pittsburgh  Wedding Photographer  reviews

Sara is absolutely wonderful! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in great hands. She has such a warm and upbeat personality that instantly puts everyone at ease — even those who usually feel awkward in front of a camera. She made the entire process so much fun, from our engagement shoot to the big day itself.

What really sets Sara apart is her ability to capture genuine emotion. Every laugh, every tear, every little glance between us — she managed to preserve it all so beautifully. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. On top of that, she doesn’t miss a single detail — from the décor and flowers to the small candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening.

What really sets Sara apart is her ability to capture genuine emotion.

Sara Haines Photography is truly the best! My husband and I have collectively interacted and shot with her 3 times; engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding coverage. In each of these moments, Sara has been exceptional. She makes you feel loved, special, and beautiful. I would recommend her and her team (Maddi Callen) to anyone getting married or trying to capture special life moments. Phenomenal work and even better people!

Sara Haines Photography is truly the best!

 They were so easy to work with and made our photography dreams come true! We had the best time working with them from our engagement session to our wedding day, they really took the time to get to know us! I cannot be more thankful for how our pictures turned out. We’ve received so many complements from family members and friends, and I can’t wait to have these pictures to look back on the rest of our lives, Sara and her team also coordinated to create a photography timeline for our wedding that helped out a ton! Sara and team, thank you so so much for all that you’ve done for us!

Sara and her team captured our day BEAUTIFULLY!

We don’t want to say there will be a minimum or a maximum. We give all the beautiful moments throughout the session or wedding, culling away the repeats, eyes closed, mid talking or unusable blurry images. An hour session is usually 75 to 100 and a wedding can range from 600 to 1200 depending on the hours covered.

If you ordered an album, you’ll love working with Sara! If you didn’t order an album, it’s never too late to add one! Sara will schedule a design consult with you where she’ll reveal a beautiful first draft of your album, built from your favorite images. She’s truly gifted in telling the story in a moving and timeless way. By the end of the meeting, you’ll be in love with your co-designed album! She’ll also show you our wall art in case you’re interested in purchasing any pieces for your home.

Unfortunately, retainers are non-refundable because once you secure a photographer, they turn down work to keep the date for you. However, we have been known to get creative and allow clients to turn their deposit into a credit towards other sessions and products.

A balanced blend of storytelling and fine art. We love capturing the real, unscripted moments as they unfold naturally — the laughter, the tears, the quiet in-betweens. But we’re also passionate about creating those stunning, editorial portraits you’ll want framed on your wall. With a guided, confidence-boosting posing approach, we help you feel relaxed and look incredible in every image.

Absolutely — investing in coordination is one of the best decisions you can make. If you value a smooth, stress-free wedding day (and want to fully enjoy every moment), a day-of coordinator is truly essential. And if you’d love to feel supported throughout the entire planning journey, a full planner is worth their weight in gold.

It’s important to note that when venues say they have a “coordinator,” their role typically focuses on the venue itself — not your unique timeline, vision, or personal logistics. I’ve never had a couple regret hiring a planner… but I’ve heard many say they wish they had.

Because your wedding deserves our full attention — not what’s left over. We pour a tremendous amount of intentional time into planning, communication, and building a genuine connection with each couple. That’s what allows us to show up on the wedding day not as a stranger with a camera, but as someone who knows what matters most to you.

Saying “yes” to fewer weddings means we can go all-in for the ones we do take — with the level of care, creativity, and personal experience you’re investing in. Beautiful images are the result… but the relationship and support behind them is what truly sets the tone.
