"Sarah does a marvelous job at valuing the couple, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in front of her lens, and bring out so much joy and natural happiness from her clients. She is fast at getting you your photos if certain ones are needed, she listens to her clients, and she does not add to the stress of their day, but instead works with them to help bring ease, allowing them to relax in what could be a stressful day.

Where are you located?

Southern California—but friend, I love to travel! Wherever your wedding is, I'll be there.

How many images are included?

Depends on the package! You can assume about 100 photographs per hour (6 hours = 600+ images).

Do you give out RAW (unedited) photos?

Nope! I'll deliver all of your edited images in JPEG form through an online gallery and USB drive.

How does payment work?

I use an online system that takes card or bank transfer. A check is also accepted!

How do I book you?

Click this link right here, fill out the form, and I'll get back to you within 24 hours!

What happens if you can’t be at our wedding?

This hasn't happened before, but I always have a second shooter who will then be the lead photographer & we will get a new second shooter.

What if we cancel/reschedule our date?

There's a small fee to change your wedding date! It's all in the contract for you to read (in plain, simple english!)

How long have you been a photographer?

I've grown my six-figure wedding photography business over the past several years! 

What happens if the weather is bad?

We'll persevere! If it's an engagement session, we can easily reschedule. If it's your wedding day, I'll show up in rain gear & we'll dance together.

Will you photoshop us?

Nope! The only thing I'll edit out is anything that won't be there in 2 weeks (a zit or cut for example). You are BEAUTIFUL! And don't need to be photoshopped!

What do we wear to our session?

You'll receive a whole PDF that goes over what to wear and what to bring to your session! Have no fear!

How do travel expenses work?

I will create a custom travel package for you! It will include airfare, car rental, and hotel fees.

Do you offer discounts?

Nope! No discounts here, sorry!

What is your turnaround time?

Sessions — 2-3 weeks
Weddings — 4-6 weeks (with some sneak peeks within a week of your wedding day)

Do you help in the planning process?

ABSOLUTELY! I am here to be a resource for you as you plan your wedding day. I have vendor lists and timeline ideas galore!

Do you photograph anything else?

Shhh actually YES! I do newborn sessions and love them! So if you're due soon, feel free to reach out.
