    Outstanding professionalism, efficiency, and expertise!

    Book Sarah now!!

    My fiance hired Sarah for a surprise proposal photoshoot and a 1-hour engagement session after. Every step of the way, Sarah was excellent! She was quick to respond to my fiance and coordinated everything seamlessly. Once I arrived at the spot, she was discreet to not ruin the surprise. When we finally met for the longer shoot, I was instantly at ease. Taking engagement pictures is awkward- posing, PDA, being overly excited about everything- and Sarah was great at handling everything! She was easy to talk to, had tons of great ideas, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From making sure I could handle certain types of terrain in my shoes to ensuring that my short dress would be fine for any lift photos, she was professional and prepared every step of the way.

    Sarah shot our photos on Sunday; by the time we were sitting at dinner an hour later, she had sent us 5 pictures already edited. By Monday we had a gif, and by Thursday we had the entire gallery. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but Sarah's efficiency, professionalism, and outstanding quality made such a difference for us. We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone! Thank you so much, Sarah, for being a part of one of the most special days of our lives!

    Sarah is incredible / amazing / the best!

    My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for our engagement shoot! From the very first conversation with Sarah she was personable and professional. My fiancé and I are not from Santa Barbara and Sarah was able to help make wonderful suggestions for shoot locations and vendors. She put all of our stress at ease!

    Sarah is an absolutely incredible photographer! She is extremely professional, talented, and a down to earth person. Our photos were everything we could’ve hoped for and more! She had us laughing the entire shoot and really captured all sides of our relationship! It is clear that Sarah is extremely passionate about what she does and cares about the couples she works with.

    We have an empty gallery wall in our house that I can’t wait to fill with these photos! The only hard part is picking our favorites because they’re all incredible!! We can’t wait to work with her again for our wedding in August!!! We are so lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone! :)

    The best in SB!

    Sarah is seriously the best, I can’t stress that enough. She was very easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. I usually feel awkward in front of a camera but I immediately felt like I could be myself with her! We had so much fun. The pictures were absolutely perfect. Sarah is so gifted and a true professional. Our pictures turned out better than we could’ve hoped for! 100000/10 would recommend her!

    Recommend again and again!!!

    I seriously do not have enough good things to say about Sarah. Not only did she make our elopement photo experience so enjoyable and FUN (despite some camera shyness!), I’m absolutely obsessed with the photos - she perfectly captured every moment, was efficient in her delivery of our gallery, and I love every single one!!! It was impossible to narrow down “favorites” because she delivered SO many amazing photos. Thank you so much - will recommend her again and again and again!!!

    Sarah is Amazing!!

    Sarah was amazing to work with. This was my husbands and I first time getting professional pictures taken and and we were a little nervous. That went away instantly, Sarah made us feel so comfortable and is a great conversationalist. She was playful and walked us through the entire process we felt like we could take pictures all day with her. If you’re looking for a great photographer Sarah is your girl!

    Santa Barbara Elopement Wedding

    Sarah did an amazing job being our elopement photographer! Not only did the photos come out great, but her planning and direction were top notch. She is very knowledgeable about where and when to take photos on the Santa Barbara Courthouse lawn. She took charge in making sure people stepped out of photos being taken of us. Sarah did great directing us where/how to stand and pose. We never felt hesitant because she had such great control of the allotted appointment time. Great Planning, Great Direction, Great Vision, and Great Photography.

    Santa Barbara Elopement

    Sarah is the absolute best! She shot both our engagement and elopement photos and we couldn’t be happier. She is fun to work with and makes you feel comfortable right away. She helped us choose locations that would work for the weather and even helped plan the timing of our elopement. She also was able to give suggestions for vendors in the area! Her turn around time has been pretty quick as well! 10/10 recommend.

    Amazing Pictures Amazing Person !

    Sarah is amazing ! So friendly, professional and creative, we had the best time with her it was pouring rain on our wedding day and it didn’t stop her we actually got amazing pictures with the rain. She’s just so positive and knew exactly where to go for great photos since my husband & I weren’t familiar with the area.
    The pictures are amazing we’re so happy we got to meet Sarah !

    Wouldn’t pick anyone else

    I can’t rave about Sarah enough!! From her professionalism to knowledge about the area and also her photography skills. I initially reached out to several local photographers simultaneously and Sarah was the first to respond and by for the most warm and helpful person I encountered. She made booking an hour engagement photoshoot a no brainer.

    She was incredibly responsive and helped with variety of local knowledge. Sarah made my fiancé and myself feel like we had been best friends with her for a long time.

    The photographs were everything we hoped for and more and the turnaround time was incredible. Sarah is the only photographer I’d recommend in the area.

    Beyond perfect

    Sarah is absolutely amazing !!! My husband and I loved working with Sarah. She is straightforward, a great source of knowledge, full of experience, organized, easy to collaborate/plan over the phone, and overall so fun and sweet. Our wedding day was perfect - everything went so smoothly and we had tons of time to enjoy the party. The pictures were delivered relatively quickly compared to what I’ve heard from other brides. And they were absolutely beautiful and more than we could ever ask for. My husband and I highly recommend. Definitely worth it!

    Amazing couple photoshoot with Sarah!

    Being photographed by Sarah was super easy and fun! Me and my boyfriend have never been photographed before and it was the best first experience!
    The photos are amazing! It was a really windy sunrise and she got the best out of it!

    Photoshoot of our dreams!

    We booked Sarah for our engagement session and positively LOVED the entire experience of working with her! She was so prepared, professional, and creative. Before our shoot, she checked out locations ahead of time, since many of the beaches had been impacted by the recent rain. She then communicated throughout the week, ensuring we could have a back up plan if needed. Fortunately, the original location worked out perfectly, and we were able to get the beach and mountain backdrop we had hoped for! But honestly we could have taken pictures anywhere and she would have made them look phenomenal. We truly can’t say enough great things about her work, and highly recommend her for anyone looking into engagement/wedding photography!

    The best of the best!

    Sarah is the perfect wedding photographer. She’s a joy to be around, she’s prompt in her responsiveness, and she creates the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen! My husband and I were blown away with the 1000s of high quality photos we got of not only ourselves but of our friends and family too. She’s so prompt with editing too! We got our entire album of photos less than 1 month after the wedding.

    I would recommend Sarah to anyone who will listen!

    Outstanding photographer

    I cannot recommended Sarah enough! We’ve had an outstanding experience working with her. It always felt like we’re working with a close friend. She’s very invested in your shoot and genuinely cares about every little detail. She’s extremely responsive. During our photoshoot, she made it super easy for us to express ourselves through pictures, as we definitely didn’t know what to do, lol.
    She’s curious about you as a couple, instead of just focusing on her job. She’s quick with her creative ideas and patiently listens to your expectations. Every picture turned out great! She’ll make any location look cute in pictures :)
    If you’re looking to hire someone who makes your experience enjoyable with brilliant results, she’s your person! She goes above and beyond with her service, without doubt. We absolutely love our pictures, and cannot wait to use them on our save the dates and wedding website. We loved how they look natural, simple, and fun. Thank you, Sarah! We are so so glad we found you.

    The best wedding photographer ever !

    My husband and I were lucky enough to find Sarah during our wedding planning process, and what a blessing she was to us!!

    We went into the wedding planning process knowing that our wedding photos were THE top priority. Knowing that, we went seeking out the best photographer for our big day. It did not take us long to find Sarah and realize she was the perfect person to capture our big day!

    From the engagement session on the beach she made both of us feel so comfortable and confident. Neither of us have had much experience in front of the camera but right away she knew what to say to help us loosen up and have some fun with it all! It was a fabulous experience, and made us even more confident in our choice for the wedding day!

    Come the wedding day Sarah was better than I could have dreamed. She was on time and organized, and stuck to the photo timeline we had established before hand. I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on Sarah from all of our family and friends. Even to this day they are blown away by how kind and talent she was!!

    I was further blown away by her timeliness. We had AMAZING sneak peeks from the day only two days after the event and received our entire wedding album around 3 weeks later. They all came out genuinely amazing. I still look them all in awe everyday. She truly captured our day, all the detail we planned to all the love we shared with our family and friends.

    Sarah comes with more than just amazing photography skills, but she also has a kind, thoughtful heart who wants to help you in your wedding planning! If you are looking for a vendor she probably has a recommendation, and a great one at that! She’s also simply a great person and someone I consider a friend after all of this!

    If you are looking for a photographer to connect with and who will blend into your day seamlessly, there’s no other option than Sarah!

    Sarah has a great personality and professionalism are top notch

    We had the pleasure of working with Sarah for our wedding ceremony and reception. From the first contact to the final delivery of photos, Sarah was responsive, courteous, accommodating, and professional.

    My wife and I were quite nervous on the wedding day after all of the traveling and preparations that led up to the ceremony, but within minutes of meeting up with Sarah, all of our worries were gone and we felt like we had known her for years. She was very welcoming and immediately made us feel at ease. She was respectful of our families and did a great job including them into the photos, making the entire experience feel so natural and easy. Sarah showed us the photos on the camera as we went along to make sure we were happy with the shots. She had great ideas for where to shoot and was also very accommodating to our requests. We had asked for a few black & white and slow shutter photos from her. She sent us samples beforehand to make sure we were on the same page about our requests and did a great job getting everything in on the day of the shoot while still making it fun.

    Sarah captured our special moments so beautifully and delivered our photos in a timely manner. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!

    Phenomenal!

    Sarah was the absolute best photographer we could have hired for our wedding. After viewing HUNDREDS of photography pages I was lucky enough to find her. Looking at her work I instantly saw her artistic eye and her ability to capture moments uniquely for each couple that she photographed.
    On my wedding day, she really made the most of our time with her and consistently provided my husband and I direction during our photos to make us feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. The pictures came out amazing and I will cherish them forever. In addition being a phenomenal photographer, Sarah is just such a kind person and was such a fun person to have on my team during my wedding. I definitely plan to book her again down the road to capture other life milestones.

    Thank you Sarah, you really are the BEST!

    Thank you, Sarah!

    Sarah is incredible. Not only is she a talented artist with an eye for capturing moments, she is one of the most genuine people I know. She is dedicated to her craft and devoted to her clients.

    My first professional couple session was a wonderful experience thanks to Sarah. When my girlfriend and I viewed the gallery together we were completely blown away. Thank you, Sarah!
