This family of photography-obsessed creatives is helmed by Sara Cooper, an artist with a background in photojournalism and a love for all things weddings. Sara’s style is inspired by Impressionism, and she captures the light and movement of each scene as it develops before her. Her team are experts in anticipation, ready to pounce and snap those fleeting moments that just can’t be posed.

Couples can sit back, relax and enjoy their big day, knowing the onelove photography has their backs with their in-house Photography Coordinator to curate their shot list and photography timing for each photo session. Whether snapping a boho wedding on a sunny SoCal beach or a playful engagement shoot on a dusty ranch, the team doesn’t sweat it. Onelove tailors its services to your big day, including a second photographer or beautiful printed wedding albums.

Services Offered

We believe that for a successful wedding photography session, the relationship between the couples and the photographer should be strong. To create this, each photographer is hand-picked for each client, ensuring that it’s more than just another wedding for them. They are also willing to travel for events, and meetings before the big day are encouraged.

Stunning photos

We LOVE OUR PHOTOS! The pictures are better than my Pinterest board inspiration!! Marie was able to capture photos in front of the Balboa Fun Zone which was a dream of mine. Paul was the photographer that was in the bridal suite and was able to crack jokes to get us naturally smile!! The photos turned out stunning! We love them all!!! They are super professional and make it easy to communicate what you want. They give you questionnaire and even a chance to attach your Pinterest board inspiration for photos so that they have a full picture of what you want.

5 stars – Highly recommend One Love Photography!

We had such a great experience with One Love Photography, especially with our photographer Nicole. She did our engagement photos too, which were our first time doing any kind of professional shoot, and she made it feel so easy and natural. She really captured us beautifully.

We just got our wedding sneak peek back and are blown away. Nicole was the perfect person to have with us on the day—she kept everything light and fun, and made us feel totally at ease. She’s so talented.

The whole One Love team was great to work with. They checked in throughout the process with surveys to understand what was important to us and offered helpful feedback based on their experience with our venue. On the day, Nicole’s assistant photographer Megan was also lovely—we love the photos they both captured and feel so lucky they were recommended to us.

We are in love with our wedding photos!

We cannot speak more highly of the OneLove photography. Sara are her team are wonderful to work with. They are extremely organized and quick to respond to our questions and concerns. They even have a photography coordinator Anna, who helped us plan out our wedding day. Our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding was Johnny. My husband and I both feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and Johnny made us feel relaxed and at ease which allowed us to capture some really great photos! On our wedding day both him and Anne were very attentive to how we were feeling and made adjustments as necessary. All of our photos were delivered in a timely manner and were extremely pleased with all of the edited photos we received!

Stunning photography!

We’re writing this after having seen a sneak peek of some of our wedding photos, which were absolutely *stunning.* One Love Photography (owner Sara, as well as our photography team of Ariel and Jenny) was truly a dream come true. They worked with us every step of the way to make sure we got the shots we wanted, and they also surprised us with some gorgeous photos we didn’t expect. Both Ariel and Jenny who were taking photos on the day were incredibly friendly and warm - they made us, as well as our guests, feel so comfortable and at ease. We cannot thank them enough for capturing our special day!

We Would Give 1,000 Stars if We Could!

My wife and I have countless positive things to say about OneLove. Sara and her team made our engagement photo shoot, wedding planning, and wedding day fun, worry-free, seamless...they truly contributed to it being the best day of our life together. The photographs are amazing and we will look at them with love and joy for the rest of our lives. They may cost a bit more than lesser experienced photographers, but are worth every penny.

Beautiful photos with a beautiful company

We got married in late July but initially started working with OneLove/ Sara in fall of 2019 for our engagement shoot. We had some fog related issues that were out of our control with this shoot and Sara offered an additional session for us to capture our engagement photos. This was such a nice gesture. Then, we had to postpone our wedding because of the pandemic and were assigned a new photographer so we did another photo shoot which was so great to be able to meet our new photographer before our actual wedding. On wedding day both the main shooter and second shooter were so great to work with. They were very attentive and handled the group well. One minor issue was it was a bit chaotic right after the ceremony but that’s expected given how weddings and families can be. It would have been nice to have a more assertive person in charge to herd all of the people for photos. Overall, both Sara & our photographer were so sweet and delivered hundreds more photos than we were promised and they turned out amazing!

Gorgeous engagement and wedding photos May 2021

We decided on OneLove Photography because of the gorgeous photos taken at two different friends’ weddings. Sara provided us with lots of photo examples and we decided on a package including engagement and wedding photos. Sara paired us up with Keana who was the photographer local to Santa Cruz. Louisa made the coordination effortless and was always quick to respond to our questions. Keana’s engagement and wedding photos beautifully captured every emotion we were feeling. She made things feel so natural and relaxed. We can’t wait to get our curated wedding album which will be a lifelong keepsake.

Nicole is perfection at work!

Wedding photos last a lifetime, and my husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer than Nicole with One Love Photography. Sara, the owner, matches each couple with their ideal photographer. Nicole was, without question, absolutely the best. She was kind, genuine, organized, and helpful - everything we were looking for. But she was also really fun to share our wedding day with, the exact type of person we would enjoy hanging out with in any other circumstance. We had such a good time joking and chatting. Nicole made the photography sections of our wedding feel like a natural extension of the rest of our plans for the evening and she also ensured that all of the photos we hoped to capture were prioritized. She helped to bring out my husband and I's individuality as a couple in a way that was easy going and natural. And the final editing our photos - just wow. It is impossible to pick favorite photos because they are all so perfect. I cannot say enough amazing things about her... we couldn't have asked for anyone better! We also worked with Sara and Louisa at One Love with logistical planning. They were also wonderful to work with and were willing to adjust their schedules to accommodate random changes to the plan. We wanted to take the majority of our photos before the ceremony because our wedding was so small. This added an extra level of complexity, and we weren't sure which location would be best for the photos because we weren't from the area. Sara and Louisa helped to make suggestions for both the location and the timeline for the photos, which would not have happened without their help. All in all, if you're looking for a dream photographer for your dream wedding, OneLove is the choice for you!

Wonderful photographers for our wedding!

OneLove was a great vendor to work with! Sara was extremely professional and helpful during our intro call and throughout the process, OneLove had smooth operations and good customer facing people who are in between the couple and the photographer. The questionnaire that they sent felt more personal and when we met our photographer for engagement shoot, it was clear that he had read it and it was helpful in getting us to know him better and to feel more relaxed around him. Louisa was great at coordinating logistics with us and making updates to the photo list and the day of plan. It was nice to have someone whose focus is just to help organize things and she would also sent nice reminders if we were ever late on anything. Jeremy was our photographer and felt like we clicked with him early on. My husband and I don’t ever take lots of coordinated couple pictures and weren’t particularly comfortable at first at our engagement shoot but Jeremy definitely put us at ease. Your wedding photographer is the person that you’ll spend the most time with on the big day and we both enjoyed spending time with Jeremy. For the day of, everything went smoothly and Jeremy and Danya were both fun and professional. We felt directed and neither of them felt overbearing and gave the right amount of instruction. The only small hiccup was during family photos where there was some confusion over where they were going to be taken and there was some difficulty getting all the permutations. It was not a huge deal as we know that it’s extremely hard to coordinate big family photos. The final photos we received are absolutely stunning and we know we’ll happily look back at those photos for years to come!

Amazing Photos for our June Wedding!

Sarah and her team are amazing -- the quality and speed in which they produced photos for our weekend-long Indian wedding was amazing! Jeremy and Ariel were so funny, easy going, and gave great direction to myself and my husband, as we were pretty conscious at first about being photographed. There was a perfect balance of posed and candid photos. The vibrant colors of our wedding really stood out. Sarah and her team were so professional and accommodating, it was investment I am so happy we made.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the great pleasure to work with OneLove Photography! Their team covers both SoCal and NorCal, and of course, anywhere you would like to bring them! Our first time working together was a November wedding in St. Helena, and it was a tight schedule as with fall/winter weddings, you need to race with daylight. I was blown away by the photos I saw of my client! Not only did Keana capture our clients beautifully, (showcasing the hair & makeup! yay!) but I really felt the personality of the couple and the beauty of the venue & decor, as well as the major events of the evening were highlighted and celebrated! As a fellow vendor, I need to focus completely on the makeup & hair, and make sure to complete my work in a tight timeline. This is why I really appreciate photographers from OneLove, who understands and respects our work space. Sara is a great pleasure to communicate with and work with! I highly recommend reserving them early for your big day!
