Sarma & Co. Photography

ut she made us feel at ease throughout the process. She spent a great deal of time asking questions to get to know us and to understand our vision for our big day. The day of the wedding, we knew we could count on her and the photos came out AMAZING!! Can't wait for another occasion so we can work with her again.

to COVID. First, during the prep for both our original wedding and our actual wedding, Sarma spent a great deal of time asking questions to get to know us and to understand our vision for our wedding day and photography. She was also very responsive in answering any questions we had throughout the process and was extremely organized in getting all the details she needed (e.g., around photo combos, meeting locations, etc.) to ensure a seamless photo experience for both us and our wedding party! The day of the wedding, she put us completely at ease and the photos came out BEAUTIFULLY! If you are considering booking Sarma & Co, stop thinking and just do it -- you won't regret it!

last looking through all the photos. Great lighting and framing as well. She was so flexible in making our small celebration work, and we are thrilled that we have so much captured in pictures. We can't wait to hopefully have her also photograph our big wedding next year!

we knew we wanted to work together. She is incredibly creative and enthusiastic about her work. Every picture she takes she makes sure the personality of the individual comes through - it is what we love most about our engagement and wedding photos.  Like so many, our big wedding was cancelled due to COVID-19. When we pivoted to a small wedding with just family, we knew we still wanted Sarma to be there to capture it and she was so flexible and professional about the whole process, which included a location change! She really helped make an otherwise stressful time really easy and enjoyable. We keep receiving so many compliments about our photos and we are continually blown away every time we look at them. Sarma was a joy to work with and brought her positive attitude, amazing energy, and incredible calmness to our day.

ma could not have been more thoughtful and supportive while we made that difficult decision. We are thrilled our new date next year works for her! However, getting married was still really important to us, so we had a minimony yesterday. Sarma worked with us on that too. She even gave us suggestions for where to have the ceremony. What I love about Sarma is how comfortable she makes us feel. It really doesn't feel odd to take photos with her, even though both of us normally don't like to do so. I look forward to seeing her each time--she has such a cheerful disposition. She also has a documentary style of photography, so it doesn't feel too fake and posed. Definitely hire her if you can!! We can't wait to work with her again.

style and knew she was the right choice for us. On the day of our wedding, we could not have had a better experience! Sarma and Jessica brought a calming energy to our day and captured our moments effortlessly. My husband and I really wanted to take advantage of the outdoor landscape at our venue and even though it was snowing and cold, Sarma was all in. We went outside and got some of the most amazing photographs. It was such a great experience! Sarma was very quick on the post-production and we had our photos a few weeks after our wedding. I still go through them and am in awe of how amazing they turned out. Every photo is beautiful and captures the emotions and moments of our wedding perfectly. Overall, we'd highly, highly recommend Sarma & Co. to anyone!

m the day we reached out to Sarma for pricing to the wedding aftermath, Sarma was responsive, flexible, and kind. Beyond being great to my husband and I, they made all of our family and guests feel at ease. I cannot recommend Sarma & Co highly enough!

We did not want the overly posed photos that seem to be so common but instead wanted more natural and candid images. I also loved that her images are saturated, either in color or black and white. I felt like a lot of other wedding photographer’s photos almost seemed hazy. Hers are crisp and timeless. Sarma was immediately responsive in sending additional information and setting up a call to learn more about us and what we were looking for from our photographer. On that call, she also asked us about our other vendors and ending up recommending our wedding florist, Athabold, who executed our “natural elegance” style of florals perfectly. Our package included engagement photos and when the day came, the weather was not cooperating so Sarma recommended that we delay the photos to the following weekend. We are not used to having our picture taken, particularly in public as part of a photoshoot but Sarma was so easy to be around and took the pressure off us so that we ended up having a great. We received our engagement photos shortly after and were so happy with the results, they were the right mix of portrait shots and just us walking around our neighborhood in the city. Sarma and her second photographer, Kathryn, were also wonderful on the day of our wedding. They arrived exactly at the time they said they would and immediately got to work. Our wedding day flew by and wasn’t without its minor stresses but Sarma and Kathryn were calm throughout. Their attention to detail and being able to be in the right spot and the right time is incredible. I had no idea that they were behind me as I saw my now mother-in-law for the first time after putting on my dress right before the ceremony. The emotion that was in that moment, and now in the photos that we have is priceless. We loved being able to see the details of our wedding that we weren’t able to soak in the day of including the set up of our ceremony site and the décor throughout the cocktail and reception tents. Sarma has photographed weddings at Buttermilk numerous times and this was helpful since she knew the property. We wanted our first look to be as private as possible and Sarma knew right away where to take those photos. I also hardly noticed them throughout the reception, they blended in seamlessly (even on the dance floor!) and we ended up with special photos from throughout the evening. We received our handful of preview images within a couple of days of the wedding and while excited to see the rest, I was perfectly content to wait to receive our wedding photos since I didn’t want them to be rushed. But, just shy of a month following our wedding I received an email from Sarma with the photos. And thoughtfully sent on a Friday afternoon so as to not be too distracting during the workweek! For anybody looking to hire a photographer in the NYC/Hudson Valley area, we cannot recommend Sarma & Co enough. Sarma is the perfect mix of easygoing yet the utmost professional who helped us to document our wedding day flawlessly. Thank you!

rtise in this field is clear and we felt completely reassured by her experience and calm demeanor at every step of our wedding process. Our wedding was on one of the hottest days on record this year but she and her assistant handled all of the time outside like the consummate professionals they are, they were also very flexible when we decided to move the ceremony indoors at the last minute. Sarma’s work is beautiful- she has a very artistic eye, and the documentary style was exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “cheesy” or overly posed. My wife and I couldn’t be happier and I know we will treasure our wedding photos forever.

able to wrangle our families, no small task! She found a number of beautiful locations for photos and we will treasure the pictures taken at the beach, hotel, vineyard and restaurant. Our pictures are so beautiful but they definitely still look natural, no heavy photoshopping which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks so much Sarma!

Jessica work wonderfully together to create beautiful, elegant, tasteful pictures. We never felt rushed but they were both very efficient and knew exactly where and how to take the best pictures. I would highly recommend Sarma to anyone who is looking for a photographer. In fact, we're looking for an excuse to photograph something else with her!

aving us from traveling down to New York. She even brought us hand warmers to deal with the freezing cold! She stuck it out with us for 2 hours in 20 degree weather and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. That completely translated to our wedding day. I love that she wasn't in our face getting photos, yet she got all the shots we wanted. Our photos are beautiful and we couldn't be more pleased!

stop us and take a pic. The results were amazingly breathtaking. She's a deeply talented artist that sees things that most do not. She is also a genuinely affable person and an organized professional who really loves her work. Our pictures arrived earlier than expected and we couldn't be more overjoyed! Sarma is simply fantastic, fun, organized, and nice - you won't go wrong by choosing her!

solute pleasure to work with. We got married at The Mohonk Mountain House in July. The weather was all over the place. But through the rain and sunshine, from start to finish, the pictures were amazing! She is as talented and professional as she is funny and friendly. Our wedding pictures are beautiful. I can’t recommend Sarma & Co highly enough.

t photos are better than I ever could have imagined; she made us feel very comfortable and really captured our personalities. She is professional, talented, artistic, and all around wonderful!

us are naturally that comfortable in front of the camera! The photos themselves are everything I could have hoped for -- she captured the day so stunningly. It meant so much to me that Sarma was so organized as well - it meant that I could confidently relax and enjoy the day, knowing that she would take care of capturing all of the moments that we wanted to remember. Working with Sarma was an amazing experience, and I feel so lucky that she was our photographer!

out better than I could have imagined! She is extremely talented and I am so glad we chose Sarma!

love and emotion of the day. Look forward to working with her again!

redibly kind. Her assistant on our wedding day clearly knew what she was doing too. If I had to do it over again I wouldn’t change a thing. My wife and I agreed that we’ll find Sarma again the next time we need high-quality, professional photos. We highly recommend her!

e. We immediately connected with Sarma’s work. Upon reaching out we immediately found her to be amazing to work with. She’s super organized and helpful and patient with my millions of questions. Before hiring her she even sent us the forms she has couples fill in prior to the wedding to see her process and I have to say she was the only person with forms where I didn’t have to cross out “groom”. That went a long way with me! When it came time to plan our engagement session I have to say myself and my new wife were not at all helpful with giving her a good place to shoot it at. We just picked generic places but it was Sarma who helped us to find something more creative and fitting for us. Our photos came out amazing! We have some framed on the walls. She shoots at our venue a lot so when we had some anxiety inducing last minute changes with the venue staff Sarma even helped us through that. She really went the extra mile to calm me and help find out information since she knows the venue so well. Come the wedding day everything was great! Sarma and Jennifer were super helpful and photographed in a way that you don’t know they’re there. For posed shots they were very patient with our big families. We had a rainy day and they had no problem getting a little wet for photos. I also had an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction and my dress decided to stop supporting the girls and they even gave me the heads up when I needed to adjust. I was super sensitive about it all night so I really appreciated their help in that department. I can’t speak highly enough of Sarma and Co.. We have only received some teaser images but I have no doubt that when we receive everything it will be amazing!

al moments that read as being so comfortable in her pictures. We were incredibly happy with the way that our engagement pictures turned out so we were very excited to work with her again on our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, she continued to be awesome. She created a beautiful guestbook for us with engagement pictures and was organized and responsive in planning out wedding details. On the day of the wedding, Sarma and her second photographer (who was also great!) arrived early to our hotel where we were getting ready and continued to put us at ease. It ended up raining on the day of the wedding and I could not have imagined a more flexible and upbeat attitude than the one that Sarma had. We totally went with the flow, took pictures outside when we could and adjusted to the non-ideal weather - and the preliminary pictures that she has sent us are amazing with the overcast lighting. Overall, Sarma is a true pleasure to work with. She is kind, warm and flexible and she is incredibly talented.

re truly special moments - it was difficult to select just a few to print, they were all so good! Our wedding photos were beyond beautiful and far exceeded any expectations we could have. Sarma and her team were fantastic during the day, making sure our check list of photos were taken but also capturing beautiful candid moments that we’ll always treasure. I would HIGHLY recommend her!

the same time, and they weren’t overly edited, which is exactly what we were looking for in our Wedding photography. Not only is Sarmas work incredible, it was an absolute BLAST working with her at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! She has such a good energy about her and is so passionate about what she does. The photos from both occasions turned out so beautifully and we’re so happy we can relive those days through the moments she captured. I highly recommend Sarma & Co and look forward to working with them for the next special occasion that comes our way!

people that love to pose for photos and Sarma found a way to make us relax and always feel at ease. We loved every part of our wedding weekend and being able to relive it through the photos is so much fun. We truly feel that not only did we get amazing photographs, but we gained a new friend for life.

our engagement photo shoot and we felt comfortable with her right from the start. On our wedding day she captured all the right photos yet you forgot she was there. We just got our photos and can't stop looking at them!

all as planned were it not for Sarma and her second photographer Sarah. They knew where we had to be and when, while simultaneously keeping us relaxed and on-time. Throughout the ceremony and reception they were like some kind of ninja-ghosts that we didn't even know were there as they documented the event, captured all the shots we wanted without any guidance, and ultimately delivered incredible art despite a dark and candlelit venue. We found Sarma by perusing albums at venues in the Hudson Valley where she often works and saw that she was clearly superior to her competition - but we were thrilled with her work for us in NYC. If you want a warm, professional, energetic, skilled photographer with an eye for the moments you will cherish forever, then don't hesitate to book Sarma and Co!

ted Sarma to photograph my wedding before I was engaged. She had worked with many of my friends, and I knew I'd be in great hands. From our first call, I knew I made the right choice. My husband hates getting his picture taken, and at the end of the wedding he specifically thanked Sarma for making the experience so easy for him. She and her team work seamlessly and unobtrusively, so you don't even notice them on your wedding day. But most importantly, Sarma is a genuine and kind person that is easy to be around (which is clutch when you're getting dressed in the same room!). My mom fell ill the day after our wedding, and Sarma send me a picture of us from the wedding and send the pictures in case my mom could see them before she passed away. There are no words to express how thankful I am to Sarma for capturing my wedding day.

and helpful with all of our questions and made the whole experience easy. Day of, they were so wonderful to work with! Never rushed, always calm which kept us calm. They smiled and interacted with everyone like old friends. We just got our pictures back and they are SO STUNNING I tear up when I look at them. We all look so natural. They captured the day as it truly happened. We didn't hire a videographer, but it turns out we didn't need one. Sarma's pictures were better than video. They portrayed the pure joy of the day in the most gorgeous way. I feel so lucky we found them! If you want natural, gorgeous pictures and to work with kind hearted professionals, look no further.

around. My husband and I love candid photos and Sarma certainly delivered. Do not hesitate to book her, she was truly fantastic!!

t session about a year before our wedding, the rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. In each case she produced beautiful photos that we and our families will cherish forever. Most importantly, Sarma was a joy to work with – completely accommodating to every request while also candidly capturing all the happiness from the wedding weekend. We’re recommending her to all of our friends and will be calling her to capture all of the milestone moments in our marriage for all of the years to come!

d Sarma through a recommendation, and after viewing her work and her website were very excited to meet her. We weren’t let down! From start to finish she was the consummate professional, and such a pleasure to work with. She was incredibly thoughtful and detailed about every aspect of the process, and went out of her way to get to know us and our preferences, as well as our family and bridal party relationships, which translated into many amazing shots. Sarma was very organized and always available if we had questions, making every step along the way completely stress-free. On our wedding day, we got every single shot we wanted (and many more!) without feeling rushed in the least, and she and Jessica were able to get fantastic shots of our guests and venue without anyone seeming to know they were there! Just as important, Sarma and Jessica are genuinely very nice people who made sure we enjoyed every second of our day and made us feel completely at ease! Needless to say, when we received our photos we couldn’t have been happier – they are absolutely beautiful, and will be treasured forever!

a, I knew it would be a great fit. When I made the decision, it was without hesitation. Not only are the photos absolutely amazing, but Sarma and Jessica were so fun to work with! I have looked at my photos at least 2-3 times per day since they came in. Each time, I find something new that makes me either laugh or cry. Sarma and Jessica really did a wonderful job of capturing so many special moments. I am able to relive the day over and over. I would very highly recommend Sarma and Co. to help you capture any special event. The very best!!

our wedding planning process: your photographer captures the images from which you will build memories for years to come. We were so lucky to find Sarma! As many of the reviewers here have noted, she is a very warm person, which makes meeting with her in pre-wedding consultations something that you actually look forward to. In addition, her method is ideal on the day of your wedding. She organizes formal portraits easily and then steps back to unobtrusively capture gorgeous stills and candids. After the wedding, she delivers your images quickly and communicates effectively on the design of your album. But most importantly, her images are absolutely outstanding. Have reviewed her portfolio, we knew she was good, and we had very high expectations. Sarma surpassed them all! We are so thrilled with our photos, and we feel fortunate to have gotten to work with such a gifted, professional, and kind photographer.

upportive throughout the planning and on-site and got unbelievable shots without intruding on the celebration. If you have the opportunity, we HIGHLY recommend having two of their photographers on-site, as they were able to capture twice as many angles of special shots (e.g. bride's gorgeous entrance and groom's teary-eyed reaction at the same time, same-level shots of dancing among the guests and simultaneous bird's eye view of all the partying from above, etc.). Sarma and Co gave us memories and photos to last a lifetime. We couldn't be happier with the way our albums turned out and recommend Sarma and Co without hesitation to anyone looking for kind, professional and talented wedding photographers.

hoot. Whenever we had a question, she was quick with a response and always kept the lines of communication open. On our wedding day, she was calm and collected and expertly wrangled everyone to get the shots we wanted. After the portraits, she and her assistant blended into the background and got hundreds and hundreds of gorgeous candids that perfectly captured our emotions on our wedding day. It was exactly what we wanted. Not a stiff, posed shot anywhere. We could not be happier with her professionalism, talent and easygoing personality - we would highly recommend her to anyone.

- two things you definitely look for in a wedding photographer! On the day of our wedding I only noticed her when we were doing the pre-ceremony family/bridal party photos. During the ceremony and reception I never once felt like she was in the way - and our guests felt that way too. Our photos turned out even better than I imagined they would. Sarma captured every moment and detail of our special day and for that I will forever be thankful!

er, NY where the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were in 3 different locations but she and her assistant got all the great shots in every area and captured all the details. They were there shooting every moment of the wedding without ever being in the way or invasive, and Sarma's calm demeanor makes the photo process painless. We just got our wedding photos back and are VERY happy with the results. We can't wait to work with her on our album. I'd highly recommend Sarma & Co for your photography needs!

so we were nervous at first. But after meeting Sarma in person, she really made us feel at ease and like a good friend. Throughout the engagement session she would show us pictures as she was taking them, just to assure us that they were coming out well. (We had no doubt in her skills, just ours!) We had our dog with us for the engagement session as well, and Sarma was fantastic working with him in all his energy, and getting wonderful shots. Throughout the months in between that and the wedding, Sarma was always available to answer any and all of my questions, no matter how ridiculous they were! As the big day got closer, she was able to make a timeline so I did not have to worry about that. And of course I was running late on our wedding day, but Sarma and Jessica were so relaxed and made things work and we were not rushed at all. When we got our photos I was so pleased, because there was such a great balance of photos. Sarma did so great in directing us for our posed photos, but they were still natural, and directing our family for the traditional photos. And yet the rest of the time, it was like she and her assistant were not even there. And yet they got all the perfect photos. Memories that we will cherish forever. I could not be happier with having hired Sarma & Co. Photography for our engagement photos and our wedding!!

captured all the moments that we wanted to remember forever. She is a true professional and extremely talented. We are forever indebted to her for making our memories last a lifetime.

the very beginning we felt comfortable with Sarma. We appreciated all of her hard work as we went through the plan for our day. At the last minute we had to move our ceremony indoors and her and her colleague were completely flexible and the changes were seamless. They got the beautiful shots we had discussed plus more that my husband and I never would have thought to take, and we're very grateful we have those memories. We didn't have a videographer at our wedding so our photos were extra important to us and we are incredibly pleased with the results.

not even sure I looked that good at my wedding, but somehow with the light, angle, equipment and post-production work, everything looks amazing! Her candid pictures are my favorites (and to assuage all future brides, they are not the type of candid pictures that you don't look good in - Sarma gets that when you mean "candid" you still want to look good). When we chose to work with Sarma, we loved her work, the feel of her website and the candid pictures she took of her couples. She far exceeded (our high!) expectations. Just a few examples: she went out of her way to visit our wedding location and determine the lighting and spots of the wedding weeks before the wedding; she met with us before the wedding to go over what pictures we wanted (including family portraits); she sent us a summary of our meetings to make sure we were on the same page on everything; during the wedding, she was extremely organized, made sure she took not only the portraits we asked, but candid pictures of those same people; also during the wedding, she was present without being imposing; we had some minor drama before the wedding in the bridal suite and she was completely calm, continued taking lovely pictures and was honestly a great person to have around. Out of everything we spent on the wedding, this was without a question, the most worthwhile!

Co. did a fantastic job! We love all of our pictures and will treasure our gorgeous album! Sarma and her team are so thoughtful and capture the various emotions of the day, as well as the individual personalities of your loved ones. And-she is such a pleasure to work with!

were truly extraordinary. I love candid shots of people being themselves and trying to capture emotions. Sarma not only did this for me, but she also managed to make it elegant and glamorous. There was never a moment when she pulled us away from our party and yet still managed to get amazing shots. Her shots were effortless. Not only was her work amazing, she is a genuine, down to earth, caring person who was so easy to get along with, which made me feel at ease on one of the most important days of my life. I highly recommend Sarma!
