Sarah was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding at Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara. From our first conversation, she understood our vision for an intimate, small wedding and brought it to life beautifully.
What sets Sarah apart is her ability to disappear into the day. She captured the candid, in-between moments we’ll cherish forever. Whether it was the quiet glances, the constant smiles, and all of the little details, she knew exactly how to capture the moment. Nothing felt staged, and she made us and our guests feel completely at ease. The mix of film and digital is magic. The film has a timeless, dreamy quality while the digital is crisp and editorial. Together they tell the full story of our day authentically.
If you want a photographer who is warm, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted, book Sarah!

Sarah is an absolutely terrific photographer and a genuinely lovely person to spend time with on your wedding day! She made us feel so comfortable, gave us the space we needed to make our day feel organic and authentic and still captured the sweetest moments from our elopement day! We could not be happier with how the photos turned out and can’t wait to come back to Santa Barbara down the road with family and have her keep capturing our milestones!

Hiring Sarah was hands‑down the best decision we made during wedding planning. From the very beginning, she welcomed us with a thoughtful introduction call and genuinely wanted to understand our vision for the day. She’s warm, funny, and charismatic—while also being a total realist. She offered expert opinions like a true wedding professional, all while bringing so much levity to the process.

During our engagement shoot, she kept Zack and me smiling the entire time. We became instant friends, and I knew our wedding day would be filled with great vibes. And it was. Our wedding day was perfect—and Sarah not only captured that beautifully, she was a big reason it felt so perfect. She and her assistant were on time, gave fantastic coaching, kept everything moving smoothly, and even joined us on the dance floor for a bit. One of my favorite moments was realizing my two‑year‑old niece had somehow ended up in Sarah’s arms.

Sarah worked closely with our wedding planner to make sure the timeline stayed on track and that our photography expectations were exceeded. She did far more than I ever expected a photographer to do. When we received our photos earlier than expected, I loved that she even recommended making a night of it—reliving our beautiful wedding day together.

Sarah is an exceptional photographer. She captured the emotions, energy, and story of our day in a way that feels authentic and timeless.

We truly could not have asked for a better photographer, and I would recommend Sarah to anyone without hesitation.

Hiring Sarah as our wedding photographer was the absolute best decision of our wedding! From the very first initial phone call, I immediately knew we were in great hands. She was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process. We booked an engagement session with Sarah before our wedding, and this really helped us get comfortable in front of the camera and put us at ease before our big day. My husband and I are not used to photos and do not like the spotlight, but Sarah made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. Her communication throughout the entire process was also incredible. She went above and beyond to help guide us through the process all while making it so much fun. We cannot thank Sarah enough for the beautiful photos and lovely experience! We hope to work with her again soon.

Where do I even begin? From the moment we met Sarah for our engagement photos, I knew it was a match made in heaven. She has the most thoughtful, kind, and caring energy. She made us feel so comfortable, and she's hilarious. When it came to our wedding weekend, Sarah captured our welcome party and wedding day so perfectly. We trusted her with every fiber in our being, and I'm so glad we did. Our wedding photos are absolutely perfect. You need to hire Sarah.

Booking with Sarah was probably the single best decision we made about our wedding. It was the best photography/ photo shoot experience of my life & I have had multiple photo shoots, including my first wedding. Her whole vibe & energy is so kind & professional, yet playful & relaxed, the direction she gives is very clear, creative, and perfect, which resulted in producing the best photographs either one of us had ever seen of ourselves in our lives! I would recommend her for anyone for any occasion- she is truly amazing & really made our day so special! 10/10!

Hiring Sarah as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She was recommended by our planner, and from the very beginning she made us feel cared for, supported, and genuinely excited. Her joy matched ours, and her calm presence brought so much peace to what could have been a stressful day.

Sarah created a thoughtful photography timeline that allowed us to capture every moment we wanted while still being present with our guests. We were able to enjoy cocktail hour and spend meaningful time with family and friends because she had everything so well organized. Her talent is undeniable—every photo is stunning—but what truly sets her apart are the personal, unexpected touches she added throughout the process.

By the end, Sarah felt more like a friend than just a photographer. She is professional, warm, incredibly skilled, and worth every single penny. If you’re considering her, don’t hesitate—you’ll be forever grateful you did.

Sarah is a phenomenal wedding photographer and would highly recommended her work and services!

My husband and I had been together 14 years yet never done professional photos nor were used to public displays of affection.

For our wedding, we were looking for someone we could feel comfortable in front of, that could give us needed direction, that was highly organized and accountable yet calm and adding confidence vs stress to the day, that could direct but laugh with our mix of friends and family, and finally someone that would take initiative and work well with the other vendors throughout the day.

Sarah turned out to be all that and more. She made us feel so at ease from the first phone call, first listening then offering suggestions. To our surprise, we had a blast at our engagement shoot and, to our even bigger surprise, loved every photo! I assumed we’d be so awkward and hoped for a few good shots - the photos captured the day - perfection.

The wedding weekend was no different. Our friends and family loved Sarah, as did our vendors. And the photos speak for themselves. We had so much fun and are so thankful for the memories Sarah captured, We absolutely love her work and would highly recommend her!

Words truly can't express how grateful we are to have found Sarah and to have had her capture the most important day of our lives. Between the engagement shoot and the communications/planning leading up to the wedding, Sarah was so kind and attentive and made the entire process so easy and fun. She truly made us feel so comfortable, and we are SO thrilled with all of her beautiful photos. Sarah, thank you so much for being a part of our big day -- we're so thankful to have shared it with you!

WOW. Sarah is the best!! If you're looking for a true to color wedding photographer, your search is over! Sarah's work speaks for itself-- she has an incredible eye for capturing beauty naturally. We didn't want the super soft, washed out lighting that is so common in wedding photography, and we were immediately drawn to Sarah's ability to capture people and nature just as vibrant and dynamic as they are. For both our engagement session at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and our wedding day at Rava Wines, Sarah really captured the beauty of both venues. I am so happy the gorgeous natural settings were represented so authentically! As people who are not used to posing for photos, Sarah coached us through different angles and poses that look like... us! She had so many fun and creative ideas to make us look incredible but not forced. And not to mention the candid photos!! She always seemed to be in the perfect spot to catch a huge smile or crazy dance move!

In addition to the quality of her work, Sarah is such a wonderful person to work with. She is super responsive and always available over text, and is very transparent with managing expectations and availability. On our wedding day, Sarah was more than "just" our photographer! She gave us electrolyte mix for our water bottles because it was so hot, she helped my mom figure out how to zip up my very tight dress, and even patched me up when I got a blister on my heel from my shoes. She was so present and hands-on, and it was amazing to have her attention and support throughout the day. I have the highest respect for Sarah's work and the deepest gratitude for who is she as a person. Thank you SO MUCH Sarah!!!
