Southern California Wedding Photographer
Wedding Photos for Couples Who Crave Candid Moments—With a Bit of Guidance
You want wedding photos that feel like you — the real moments, not just perfectly posed frames. The laughter, the teary glances, the in-between memories that matter most. But let’s be honest: feeling comfortable in front of the camera doesn’t always come naturally.
That’s where I step in. My approach is calm, intentional, and focused on helping you feel at ease so you can be fully present. I gently guide you into natural interactions rather than stiff poses, creating space for real connection to shine through.
You’ll receive a thoughtful mix of candid storytelling and guided portraits that never feel forced. With a background in live event photography — where nothing can be staged — I’m tuned in to the quiet, unrepeatable moments unfolding around you. The result? A gallery full of emotion-filled images you’ll treasure for a lifetime (and yes, I’ve got your best angles covered — no awkward double chins here).
My Approach to the wedding day
My job doesn’t start on your wedding day — it starts the moment you book me. We’ll be spending one of the most meaningful days of your life together, so let’s do it as friends, not strangers.
I’m here to offer more than just photography. With 15+ years of experience, I’m happy to share wedding tips, join venue walk-throughs (schedule permitting), and talk through your plans so I understand what matters most to you.
From adjusting your dress to pinning boutonnieres or holding your lipstick — I’ve got your back. I’m your wedding expert bestie, here to make sure you feel confident, supported, and fully present. Together, we’ll capture every moment of your love story.

Why these photos matter
Your wedding day is so much more than just a celebration or one day —it’s the beginning of a new chapter in your love story, and the culmination of so many meaningful moments, dreams, and connections. Take a moment and picture it: the day you’ve dreamed of, surrounded by the people who matter most to you—your closest family and friends, all gathered in one place to honor your love. Imagine the smiles, the laughter, the tears of joy, and the unforgettable memories that will unfold throughout the day.
Your wedding will be one of the rare times in your life when everyone who’s shaped you and your partner will come together to celebrate this milestone, to witness your commitment, and to share in this chapter of your story. And while this gathering may never happen again in the same way, the photos we capture on this day will preserve those fleeting moments forever. Every hug, every glance, every quiet, unspoken word—these are the moments that tell the true story of your love.
The day may pass quickly, but your photos will stand the test of time. They will become treasured heirlooms that you’ll cherish for generations to come. These images won’t just be beautiful; they’ll hold deep meaning, evoking memories of the laughter, joy, and even the quiet moments that made your wedding so incredibly special. Long after the cake is cut, the music fades, and the last guest has left, your photos will continue to tell the story of the most important day of your life. They will be priceless, preserving the emotions, the atmosphere, and the love that defined this once-in-a-lifetime day
What My Past Clients have to say
I found Sarah on Pinterest when I was looking for ideas for my wedding. I immediately fell in love with her style and I contacted her- and it was one of the best decisions I've made for my wedding. YOU WONT REGRET I PROMISE. both me and my husband were obsessed with how the photos turned out. And it was just as good and even more than what we expected. We appreciate Sarah and her talents so much. If I am finding photographers again I will definitely come back to her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭 -Yuying
We knew we wanted to hire Sarah as our wedding photographer immediately after our first phone call with her. Sarah had a unique and beautiful way of capturing the most special and unforgettable moments of our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely stunning and truly capture how perfect our day was. Thank you, Sarah for being the best photographer we could’ve ever asked for! -Caroline
