    Outstanding

    From our initial phone call to delivery of our photos, Sandra has went above and beyond for my husband and I. She was so kind and considerate of our photography needs. Our engagement shoot felt like a fun date, and it was because of Sandra’s easygoing guidance. She was communicative all the way to our wedding day. As a bride, you want to feel beautiful on your wedding day and Sandra truly never failed to make me feel that way. Not to mention our couple and family portraits, to the candid photos of our reception. She got EVERYTHING. I’m so thankful not only for our wonderful photos but my family and friends who now have photos to keep forever. If you’re thinking of booking her for your wedding- this is your sign! You surely will not regret it! Thank you Sandra 🤍

    The best wedding photographer!

    So I am not even the bride but the MOH. It was my brother and sister in laws wedding and let me tell you if I could get remarried and have Sandra I would. She is the best. Not only are the portraits stunning but she really captured the essence of the night and got such great reception photos of everyone including the great party. She went above and beyond.

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Hailey! You are amazing! I love your family and was having such a blast I didn’t want to leave! I know how important family and friends are and wanted to capture all the moments for Amira and Hunter. Thank you for your kind words and I can’t wait to see you again! 💗💗

    Real talented photographer

    Oh my god Sandra did incredible work. I’m so obsessed with my wedding photos. She has such a wonderful personality and real talent. She was great at communicating with me, walking time through the timeline, and even met with me prior to the wedding day to pick out all the spots for photos.

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Ariella I had such a wonderful time with you and Russell. I love looking at your gallery and seeing all the fun and magic happen! Thank you for trusting me to capture your moments 🥰. I’m here for you 💗.

    I promise you, hire her, best decision!

    Professional, personable, and talented!!!

    Do yourself a favor and hire her!!!!!! After talking with countless photographers we finally found Sandra. We hired Sandra for our engagement photos and wedding photos!
    Sandra makes the process so easy and comfortable! She is incredibly talented and knows how to make her brides and grooms look incredible but also knows how to capture those sweet little moments!!!

    I would hire her again for anything and everything I need in the future for professional photos.

    Captured it perfectly!

    My husband and I had a fantastic experience during our photo shoot with Sandra. She captured every moment perfectly and made the entire experience truly enjoyable. She allowed us to be us while also suggesting a few poses that looked very natural. All the photos turned out so beautiful, making it hard to choose which one is my favorite. I can't thank Sandra enough for this amazing experience.

    Best decision we made for our wedding!

    After an extensive search of photographers, I came across Sandra’s work and was floored by her creativity, attention to detail, and use of bold natural elements. I immediately knew after meeting her in person that my husband and I just met our photographer soulmate. She made our engagement shoot feel more like an intimate date that my husband and I will cherish forever. She works incredibly hard and guides you throughout the entire experience. She has an eye for unique poses and capturing moments that display the love my husband and I feel for each other. I feel like I gained a friend through all this and will continue to reach out for family, maternity, and whatever other photos I will need in the future. My friends and family raved about her after our elopement and the photos turned out to be everything I imagined. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Sandra!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer

    We were taking a family vacation to San Diego from Arizona and were hoping for some family beach photos as we were tired of the desert backdrop. I did some googling/facebooking/instagraming and came across Sandra. I sent one email and her response was like she could read my mind! We stayed in contact the months prior to our trip. The day of the photos i thought i would be nervous since i had never met her in person but i honestly already felt like we had been friends for years! She was so amazing (and super kid friendly) I would have given her a glowing reccomendation without even seeing the photos, but the photos were in my email this morning (SURPRISE) and i am entirely blown away! I will likely be making the trip to San Diego for future photos 💜

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Chelsea. I loved hanging out with you and can’t wait to do it again. Friends! Xoxo

    Surprise Proposal

    Wow wow wow!!! My fiancé and I can not say enough kind words about Sandra. We are from out of town and he contacted Sandra to help photograph a surprise engagement he was planning. She was extremely responsive and so helpful in picking out the perfect place for him to pop the question!! When it finally came time for the big day, Sandra was prepared and ready to take the picture perfect shot, which she TOTALLY did!! We then had about an hour and a half photo shoot on the beach to celebrate our engagement! After meeting Sandra, I felt like I had known her for years! She made us feel so comfortable and confident and made the shoot so much fun!! Her positivity and joy spreads to others and she went out of her way to send our Moms’ pictures for a surprise engagement party happening the next day! When we arrived we saw about 15 pictures blown up and printed out all around the house! I was so obsessed with every single picture I just wanted to sit down and stare at them all night! 10/10 would recommend hiring Sandra for any photo needs! Not only was she so nice and easy to work with, but the pictures were AMAZING! She helped capture memories we will have for the rest of our life and we couldn’t be more thankful!!!

    Best Photographer

    Sandra brings a positive energy to every photo shoot she has done. You can tell she really cares about the couples she works with and goes the extra mile to get the best photos. She also is very good at capturing the perfect lighting and will literally go in the water or climb a mountain to get the best shot.
    We did our engagement shoot and wedding with Sandra and getting both with her is a plus because you get comfortable with the poses and which angels work best in preparation for your big day. Both shoots went great and Sandra was always quick to reply with any questions and know where to get the best shots. Highly recommend!

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Samantha, your kind words mean so much. I had a wonderful time meeting hanging out with you and Steven as well as capturing your love. As I look as your images I smile as I can almost hear you whispering "Chicle" to Steven in the photos. I love that! I'm always here for you.

    The Perfect Engagement Photos

    My fiancé and I 100% recommend Sandra as a photographer! We had her do our engagement photos, but I am confident that she would be amazing capturing any and all special moments or memories in general! She was so comforting and personable the entire time and really made us feel comfortable in taking the perfect pictures. My fiancé and I are not originally from the area and Sandra helped us find the perfect location to capture exactly what we envisioned! I can be a little high-maintenance and indecisive when it comes to this wedding process, and Sandra was sooo patient and FLEXIBLE in allowing me to change (overthink lol) the location a few times before our picture day. She went above and beyond to help in everything from giving advice on outfit coordination, my hair placement, different poses, EVERYTHING. This was such a special day l and it was so nice to have someone that made us feel comfortable in taking genuine pictures that didn't look staged or awkward. She captured some really great moments and I can't wait to use some of the photos she took for our save-the-dates, as well as to post them at the wedding! The turnaround time was so quick and she sent us all of the beautifully edited pictures just days after! Not to mention, she does great albums and I can't wait to purchase one for display at our Wedding! Thank you Sandra!!!! You really made our day and this entire experience so great! :)

    Sandra Yvette photography

    Sandra was an amazing photographer! Alot of people tell you how quickly your wedding day goes by but I guess I really didnt believe it. I could not believe how fast it went, and for how busy I was and how I wasnt super available to answer questions for her she was still so so easy and flexible. She is so so easy to talk to, and has a genuine interest in your ideas and things you're hoping for with pictures. We got some amazing pictures and amazing memories. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event!

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Chelsea, I LOVED working with you and capturing the beauty and fun moments of your day. I loved learning about you and making sure I captured the details & the people that made your day so special. Hugs!

    Amazing Photographer!

    I cannot even describe how amazing Sandra is! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera that you even forget she’s taking pictures. My husband is not one to love taking pictures but he was 100% himself around her and she captured our love perfectly! The pictures look flawless and perfect even though we were laughing, joking around, talking, etc. You cannot go wrong with her❤️!

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much. You’re an absolute doll and I had such a wonderful time with you and Luis. I can’t wait to see you guys again. 💛.

    The absolute best!

    Sandra is absolutely the best. Her personality is phenominal and no matter how awkward you may feel being in front of a camera she can make you feel comfortable and relaxed! My husband hates having photos taken of him but he doesnt mind as much when sandra is the one taking them because shes just that much fun. Very professional and is always willing to help in anyway she can, not just photography! I would 100% recommend her for your wedding/any photo needs! I will definitely be using her for any and all future photography needs.

    Love love love sandra!

    I cannot begin to emphasize how GREAT and AMAZING Sandra was! My now husband and I met with her about 3 months after we set our wedding date and we met over lunch. As soon as we met we hit it off and connected with her, we didn't think twice about looking for other photographers and we hired her immediately. Throughout the wedding planning process Sandra was amazing! She was so responsive, so flexible and even helped me with the wedding planning. She helped me make a rough timeline for the day of, at times when I was stuck and needed some suggestions she was so helpful! The day of the wedding, she was AMAZING! I told her what pictures I wanted and who I wanted and she was so respectful of what my husband and I wanted. Were so happy we hired Sandra for our engagement and wedding pictures!

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    I’m not crying your crying! You guys were the best! I loved being able to be there for you and help you with everything from timelines to catching up on life. I’m going to have withdrawals of not being able to hang out as much. We’ll still need to hang out even if it’s over Micheladas again. Hugs!!

    Amazing Experience

    Sandra is the best!! She recently photographed my wedding day which included getting ready with my bridesmaids, first look, wedding ceremony, reception and sunset photos. I always loved her work and knew she came highly recommended. She was very professional and made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She kept us on schedule with the whole wedding day process and personalized our wedding photos by getting to know us as a couple individually. Our photos turned out amazing and literally took my husbands breath away. We are so happy we chose Sandra as our photographer and you will too!!

    Sandra Yvette Photography's reply:

    Awe thank you so much. Love you guys! I had an amazing time with you both and feel honored you chose me to be there for you and capture your beautiful day. Hugs!!

    Please book her!

    I booked Sandra for my wedding day which isn't until April, but I had my engagement shoot this past weekend and I cannot even begin to tell you how excited it makes me for the big day. She is SO fun to work with and has an eye for locations and lighting like you can't believe. She messaged me and said "it's going to be cold and windy, but if you're in, I'm all in!". She braved high 20 degree weather with us and had a smile on her face the whole time. Her positivity and big smile are so welcoming and she treats me like a friend she's known her whole life. It makes it so much more comfortable to stand in front of a camera. Thank you SO much Sandra!!

    When I first saw Sandra’s pictures of my friend, I was blown away. They were perfect. So I decided to get ahold of her to do some for me as well, and I am so glad I did. She makes you feel so comfortable and natural. She did a beautiful job with our photos. Thank you so much our families loved them ❤️

    Wonderful!!

    Sandra made my engagement photo shoot dreams come true! I suggested the Scripps Pier and Sandra even knew to look up the tide report that morning to make sure the shoot was a success! She made my fiancée and I feel so comfortable and had a true interest in who we were and our story. She went above and beyond to get the shots. Altering between lenses and always checking the light - she knows exactly what she’s doing! She is a true professional and a pleasure to be around! The photos came out so great that I wish I could go back and shoot more! I highly recommend Sandra for any of your photography needs! She is wonderful!

    Best photographer

    Honestly, I can’t say enough good things about Sandra. She’s the most down to earth human I have ever met. Not only is she PHENOMENAL AT HER JOB, she is so fun to be around. She makes being in front of the camera so easy and fun. One thing I LOVE is she will do what it takes to get a good shot, she’ll be down in the dirt to get the right angle. She did my wedding and just recently did our family photos. Every time I look at our wedding photos it’s like I’m in that moment all over again! She is the best photographer around. She is a genuine and sweet soul, who is amazing at what she does. Do yourself a favor and book her!

    You are the sweetest! I’m so happy I had the chance to meet you, shoot your wedding and now become like friends with you and your beautiful family. I’ll be here for you 💗💗

    Gutierrez Wedding

    Sandra was great from day one!! Our first meeting was filled with reassurance that she knew exactly what she was doing. She was very thorough and expressive with how she viewed the schedule of pictures to move along. Her work wowed us from the start. On top of all that she is a sweetheart and she cares about the couples backround story. She then utilizes that story to recreate it through images. I give her a million thumbs up. She is prompt and very flexible. You tell her what you want and she delivers. If you are looking for an outgoing and easy photographer to work with, she is it. She has amazing patience. Thanks Sandra for the amazing memories of our wedding!

    Wedding Photos/ Engagement

    My experience with Sandra was outstanding she has an amazing personality which to me can be a deal breaker. She made us feel comfortable, she made it fun and exciting and she's a perfectionist when it comes to posing and fixing your hair when the wind is blowing in your face. She is very easy to work with, her follow up was terrific which to me was extremally important and her work definitely speak for itself. I highly recommend her for weddings, engagement photos and family portraits and I promise, you wont regret it! Can't wait to book my next session.

    AMAZING Photographer

    If you’re on the fence... DO IT. I found her on Yelp and went for it based on her amazing pictures. She was probably the sweetest photographer I’ve ever worked with. She was so accommodating to my style of pictures and literally went above and beyond giving me TWO different folders with different edits to make sure I was 100% happy. I can tell you I was 200% happy with her work. She is really a genuinely amazing person to work with. Highly recommend
