Congrats on getting engaged!
I'm Sarah Yates, your new wedding photographer! Based in Southern California, I've been photographing weddings on the coast for nearly 5 years. I love the fresh air, coastal breeze, and the stories that unfold as the sun sets. Your wedding day is an investment. It's a big day and truly, I only want the best for you. In my guide, I've included a simple list of the best wedding vendors California has to offer. But, if you're looking specifically for a photographer, look no further, you're in the right place.

More than just
photographs
I firmly believe that love is full of little and big moments — ones you want to hold onto as the years slip past. Photography is my way to help you return, to make time standstill. To bring back what you felt, thought, saw. To make your moments truly last a lifetime.
Yes, those will be your photographs. But your experience is much more than that. I will come alongside you to craft your timeline, organize your family list, and so much more.

Here's what past clients are saying:
If you're contemplating, book Sarah now!!!!!! Her brand as a whole is top shelf. She responds so quickly, and makes you feel cared for. There was never a time I had to question whether or not Sarah was on top of it, because she was already 10 steps ahead of us! From the moment we inquired, we were so well taken care. Our wedding gallery truly felt like us and was captured with such grace and attention to detail! The creativity and talent that lies within Sarah is truly a gift and we will forever cherish the photos."
