    12/10 Experience!

    Sydney is incredibly talented. I fell in love with her work and booked 1.5 years in advance to ensure my wedding photos would be exactly what I wanted. She exceeded every expectation.

    Sydney is very responsive, checks in throughout the planning process, understands your every need and executed to perfection.

    I told Sydney on a call a few months before the wedding that having candid photos of my mother was really important. My mother has a brain injury and it’s difficult to get a “typical” posed photo. The day of the wedding, not only Sydney, but her second photographer as well, searched for moments to catch my mother in a happy candid moment. The results are breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes.

    Sydney treats you like family, loves your guests as her own friends and produces your photos with all of her talent - there’s simply no one better.

    No one better!

    Sydney was such an absolute light our entire wedding weekend! From the first conversation we had over the phone, I knew we were in the absolute best hands. She made us feel SO comfortable, and meshed perfectly with our family, guests, and vendor team. Working with her was one of the favorite parts of our weekend. We hated saying goodbye to her!

    Our photos are absolutely perfect and exactly what we always imagined. We cannot imagine our weekend without her!!!

    Mon + Brad Wedding

    Sydney is nothing short of the BEST. I was lucky enough to have Syd photograph my engagement, which then quickly turned to my wedding photographer. Some would call her, "the dream" - and being in the wedding industry myself, there aren't enough great things to say. Everything from the spirit, energy, and friendship, to the talent, attention to detail, and execution of a wedding day is everything that she embodies. Now getting to call her a friend, I couldn't recommend her enough. If I had to choose again, I would have her (and Laura) on my wedding day and for all life events every single time. WE LOVE YOU SYD!

    Sydney is phenomenal!

    Sydney was everything we could have hoped for and more. My husband and I are both shy in front of a camera, but she made us feel so incredibly comfortable and confident during our elopement. Not only that, but we just had a great time with Sydney. She’s so great at what she does and helped us make the most memorable, incredible day. Where to begin with the photos themselves.. I’ve never been one to really like pictures of myself, but she made me feel so beautiful! Sydney was everything we could’ve hoped for and I look forward to more shoots with her in the future. :)

    Unmatched Vibes

    I found Sydney on Instagram, looking for a local photographer with a vibey aesthetic. We met at Cardiff State Beach for our engagements, and I have to say, it was the most relaxed, fun, loving experience I've ever had taking photos. We felt like we'd known her for years, and were just a bunch of friends, drinking beers on the beach. The photos turned out amazing, and set the mood for our wedding website and invites.

    I'd see her around town meeting up with other clients, and her infectious, genuine personality made it all too obvious we needed to fly her out to shoot our wedding in Cabo. She had a range of packages for destination weddings, which made it really easy to figure out what fit our budget. We even added a film session to capture our legal elopement here in San Diego. In hindsight, I wish I flew more local vendors down to Cabo, it's just nice to know the quality of the vendor you're working with before the big day.

    On the wedding day, Sydney had already scouted a few locations around the hotel, so we got the most of out of our time taking photos before the wedding. She also did an AMAZING job working with a videographer we hired down in Cabo. They never worked together before, but naturally fed off of each other's creativity, painting the day just how we remember it: a romantic dream.

    Sydney sent all of our photos in a very timely manner (even amidst her own wedding planning), and I couldn't be more obsessed with them. Truly the most cherished investment in our wedding.

    A dream photographer

    Sydney was a dream to work with from day one. From our engagement shoot at a cute little distillery in San Diego, to our COVID elopement, she was not only so much fun to hang out with but delivered the most beautiful photos. I am forever grateful how Sydney helped navigate when the pandemic hit and was still able to be a part our wedding ceremony. I still cry when I look back at the photos that beautifully captured such a special, unpredictable celebration. I cannot wait to have Sydney be a part of our bigger wedding celebration when the day comes, she is the absolute best there is.

    Sydney is everything you could want in a photographer!!!

    I absolutely fell in love with Sydney's photos the first time I saw them and the second I met her I knew we found the perfect photographer! She made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. Coming from someone whose husband has avoided cameras like the plague his entire 35 years of existence, I expected the shoot to feel like pulling teeth from him... Lo and behold, Sydney was able to make it fun from start to finish, and I don't think we stopped laughing the entire time! You will seriously not regret hiring this fantastic human being and I can't wait for her to photograph our wedding reception, and probably Christmas card pictures... oh and maternity pic, and probably everything else I can possibly think of until the end of time!

    Ear-to-ear smiles and gut-fun laughter

    Sydney's work always leaves me speechless, jaw-dropped, and my heart feeling so happy it could explode. I honestly still get shocked when I look through the photos she shot of my wedding, making my husband and I look like such cool, hip couple. "I'm like, THAT'S US?!" Truly so thankful to have found Sydney to shoot our most special day and to now have her in our lives. Not only does she have such a creative and magic eye for capturing the best candid moments, she is such a beautiful person inside and out. I've never been professionally photographed before finding Sydney and I was actually so nervous in doing an engagement shoot with her when the time came. I was worried if any awkwardness would show in the photos because of how anxious I was. But when the day came, Sydney seriously makes you feel so comfortable with your significant other and with herself, it's like we've known her for forever! She is so encouraging and has such an artistic eye, I love it when she suggests certain poses that I do with my husband, because those turn out to be my FAVORITE shots out of the bunch. I don't know how, but she somehow captures the most special moments that you don't realize the day of, but it's something you can treasure forever. I can't wait for the day to reach out to Sydney again for whatever future milestone photoshoots we would need her for (hopefully she's available! haha), because I love working with her. Her style is truly the best that gives off so much warmth, timelessness, and pure happiness. I HIGHLY recommend anyone reading this to hire Sydney to shoot any of your special moments. You won't ever, ever regret it.

    The best Photographer you could ask for!!

    Sydney is not only an incredibly talented photographer (we ended up doing 2 engagement sessions and plan to do more shoots with her in the future- She is THAT GOOD), but she has such incredible energy. She is laid back, easy to work with and fun. It was really important to us to have someone who would be a calming presence on such a hectic and important day. Sydney keeps things light and easy and even texted me the morning off and offered to bring snacks or drinks if we needed them. She is super responsive and sent us a few photos the next morning and over the course of the next two-three weeks while she worked on the rest. She is so talented and we loved working with her!

    Exceeded our expectations

    I cannot recommend Sydney enough! First off, she is the absolute sweetest and most easy going person to work with. She made our day so fun and easy, we didn’t need to stress about getting certain photos or micromanaging her because she was so on top of everything. The pictures were INCREDIBLE! Not only did she capture the important moments, but the style she shoots creates art that we can hang in our house and it doesn’t look like a basic wedding photo. We loved her so much, we asked her to shoot our maternity photos as well. I didn’t think she could create photos I loved more than my wedding, but she did. I am so grateful we found Sydney and that she was able to capture the most important moments of our life for us. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives, love you Sydney!!

    She captured the day PERFECTLY

    Booking Sydney was the best decision we made! We're still gushing over how beautiful they turned out! She is incredibly talented and captured our day perfectly. Sydney made the whole process so smooth and has the most calming energy. She was so flexible in accommodating us on our special day and was always willing to work with our schedule. Photoshoots felt natural and never forced; she was able to capture our relationship so uniquely. Just after the first photo session, we felt as though we were with an old friend! We will cherish the photos forever and cannot recommend her enough!!!

    Best Decision We Made!

    Hiring Sydney as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made in the planning process! Her work really speaks for itself; she take beautiful & timeless images that truly look like they came straight out of a magazine. Beyond that, she has a great energy and is extremely professional. She made us feel so comfortable and kept the good vibes going on our wedding day. Your wedding day goes by so quickly, so it was important to me to have amazing photographs that perfectly encapsulated the day - and Sydney did just that. She is truly incredible, and you will not regret hiring her as your photographer!

    A dream photographer with a golden soul

    There isn’t enough space for me to write about how truly wonderful Sydney is. I stumbled upon Sydney’s photos on instagram and when our wedding was cancelled due to Covid and we decided to elope, my mind immediately jumped to Sydney. Professional, bubbly, easy going, golden hearted - the list could go on for days. She helped make our elopement feel like we were on the trip of a lifetime with best friends. Kept things calm, flowing, and seamless. Your photos are the one tangible item you’re left with when your day is over and trust me, Sydney is the one! She has a great eye, timeless colors, and captures the emotion in a way like no other.

    The Greatest Investment

    Let me start by saying, Sydney is one of those rare unicorns who turns everything to gold and I will forever be grateful for her capturing our wedding day. Not only does she have natural and honest skill for photography, her presence, knowledge and genuine personality make the whole package. She will not only deliver photos that you will want to show everyone..she'll make the process so light-hearted and fun. Since our wedding, I've had three girlfriends who I've referred and who have all shot with Sydney. Her photos/editing are next level! If you haven't already booked with her, this is your sign! I guarantee, you will stare at these photos for the rest of your life and be so glad you invested in her.

    Book Sydney Now!

    Sydney is a dream! Punctual, creative, High quality, easy to feel comfortable around, flexible and all the good things. We booked her to shoot our wedding in May, but COVID hit and things were in the air. We ended up having a minimony with immediate family only and Sydney was extremely understanding and flexible and still able and willing to capture our very special and intimate micro wedding. She seriously hit the nail on the head with the vibe we wanted for our wedding photos and again she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. That’s such a great thing if your other half is a little more introverted. She can get along with anyone and everyone and even our micro wedding guests loved her company! My now husband and I can not recommend her enough and are still drooling over our engagement and micro wedding photos she captured. She’s so great at bringing out emotion in every image. We rescheduled our ‘big’ wedding for 2021 and of course are still using Sydney to capture our ‘big’ day. Stop looking for other photographers. Trust me, you’ve found her right here.

    The Best in the Biz

    I looked and looked for a photographer and even talked to a few over the phone and was ready to seal the deal, and then I came across Sydney and I knew immediately from looking at her portfolio that I wanted her to capture my small, intimate wedding. This is all to say, if you are deciding between two photographers, or just being indecisive in general, go with Sydney. She’s insanely talented (I have a strong hunch she’s going to be famous) but she’s also a joy to be around. She’s thoughtful, kind, creative, and really attentive to detail. You can’t do better. I’m serious.

    The best decision we made for our wedding

    Sydney's photography is what wedding dreams are made of. We originally chose her because we loved her editing, but what really made Sydney stand out to us is how comfortable she made us feel in front of the camera. She took the time to really get to know us. She caught rare raw moments that we'll treasure forever. Thank you, Syndey!

    Best Photographer in San Diego

    I’ve taken my senior portraits and two anniversary pictures with Sydney. She knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. I’m naturally a shy person, and it’s hard not look awkward. Her direction and suggestions on how to pose made me feel more confident. Sydney also knows how to catch those really special, intimate moments during an anniversary shoot. The pictures always turn out amazing!

    We loved Sydney!

    Sydney was amazing for our small wedding, she was super easy to email with and talk to before the wedding. She specializes in elopements and small weddings which was perfect for us. Everyone at the wedding commented on how awesome and easy to get along with she was, and that she seemed more like a friend. We loved all of our pictures so much, would definitely use her again in the future!

We are forever so thankful we found her and wish she could just photograph our daily lives!!
