Hi, I’m Opal. Are we a good match?!
My ideal couple is a big fan of candid photos.

You of course want some beautifully posed photos with your fiancé, but most importantly you want to truly enjoy your wedding day, keeping it a celebration and not turning it into an endless photo shoot. You do want timeless family portraits (and someone who can easily wrangle people around when needed), you really want lot of authentic fun candid moments captured. You need someone who stays calm and focused in the chaos of a wedding. You are afraid you may feel awkward in photos and need someone with some good direction and can make it feel effortless and fun.

If that’s you, that’s me!!!

As for me, I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t posed or staged—they’re the genuine, fleeting moments that happen naturally. My passion is to anticipate these moments and capture these precious memories for you. People love that I’m calm yet directive, professional and organized, Delivering sneak peeks and full wedding galleries very quickly. I am always easy to talk to. I return emails and calls right away—AND you can text me anytime. 707-628-6027

I’m like a new friend who just happens to be an amazing photographer.

Opal was great!

Paul and I recently enjoyed working with Opal of Sweetbay Photography for our August 5 wedding, and I am pleased with the outcome.
Opal's dedication, talent, and professionalism shone through, leaving us with priceless memories we will cherish as long as we live. Her ability to capture the essence of our wedding day was truly remarkable. She beautifully captured every emotion, detail, and fleeting moment, transforming them into timeless images. Opal's keen sense of timing and composition ensured that no precious memory was missed, whether it was the joyous laughter, heartfelt exchanges, or tender moments shared between loved ones. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work were evident throughout the entire process. When we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away! The quality of the images was exceptional, with vibrant colors and a perfect balance of light and shadow. Entrusting our wedding photography to Opal of Sweetbay Photography was one of our best decisions. I highly recommend considering her services!

Phenomenal - Will Use Again!!!

Opal is amazing! She photographed my husband and I’s wedding back in August and did a fantastic job. As soon as we met her we loved her energy and obvious experience. She also photographed our engagement photos which were beautiful even though the weather wasn’t very cooperative. Her experience and knowledge made us have one less thing to worry about because we knew she would get everything done. Opal was also great handling our large families and guest count. Our pictures are fantastic and I am forever grateful for her amazing work and passion for what she does. We will definitely be hiring her again for future photo ops. Thank you Opal!!!

Opal and Genna are fantastic!

We coordinated with Opal through our wedding venue (Fairview Sonoma), it was a great experience. She hurt her back the week before our wedding and wasn't able to take photos for us, but her lead photographer Genna took over, and we were in great hands. You'll be lucky with whoever you get, the photos turned out amazing, and everyone made us feel so comfortable and taken care of!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
