    Sarah is AMAZING!!!

    Neither my husband nor I had ever had professional photos done, and she made us feel so comfortable immediately. From my first conversation with her, to the actual photo shoots, she was so friendly, professional, and talented! She shot engagement photos for us at the beach, we brought our pup which could have been chaotic, but Sarah guided us and the pup to capture us in our element so perfectly. She had us all laughing, and enjoying the entire thing, it was so fun, and I am in love with the photos! She also shot our small wedding at the courthouse, and was so excellent in guiding us through the entire process all while capturing every beautiful moment I could have imagined. The turn around on the photos was super timely, and the photos are everything we could have wanted. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special moment, I would highly recommend Sarah!

    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! :)

    Sarah slaps

    WOW did my wife and I have a positive experience working with Sarah. She knows the Santa Barbara courthouse like the back of her hand, has a billion ideas for picturesque set-ups and locations, was totally receptive to the couple of goofy ideas we pitched, and was all-around an absolute joy to work with. Our pictures are phenomenal. Everyone who sees them says "You look like models!" (I know they have to bc we're newlyweds, but nevertheless.) I'm writing this review because Sarah requested that we do so, and mean every single word of it, and would not have taken the time and trouble if I didn't 10/10 recommend her. Hire this woman to document your big day, and do so with utter confidence that you will get great photos that will last a lifetime!

    Sarah is the best!!!

    Hiring Sarah as our photographer for a last minute elopement in SB was the best thing I could've done! From the start, Sarah was so communicative and knowledgeable about the elopement process, including when and how to sign up for a courthouse appointment, that I knew we were in good hands. Come elopement day when my (now) husband and I met Sarah for the first time, she immediately took charge of what had started off as a stressful day, making us feel completely at ease with her bubbly and warm personality.

    Not only does Sarah have a great eye for photography, but she also knows how to direct you to get the best shots! I'm someone who never knows where to put my hands (or honestly any part of my body) for photos, and Sarah made it so, so easy. We've never looked more natural, and the photos came out just how I wanted--intimate and sweet, while capturing the charm and beauty that is Santa Barbara. We're so happy with the photos and with the quick turnaround time and would 100% recommend Sarah as your next photographer for any and all special moments!

    Such a great experience!

    We had such a great experience with Sarah as our photographer for our Santa Barbara elopement! In additional to amazing photos, she was so helpful and informative answering all of my questions about how the courthouse wedding appointments work and gave a ton of great recommendations for things to consider while planning. Her knowledge and experience gave me confidence going into the day and allowed us to have such a relaxing and great experience despite this being our first time getting professional photos done. I highly recommend Sarah to everyone!

    Sarah is the best!

    Sarah is the best! She made us feel so comfortable and confident during the engagement shoot and during our wedding. She’s a huge reason we will have some of the most beautiful memories to look back on! One of her beautiful photos of us was also featured in an issue of The Hollywood Reporter Magazine! Would recommend her to everyone!

    SB Elopement

    I researched photographers in Santa Barbara for months before stumbling upon Sarah’s Instagram page and was immediately impressed with her style of photography. We spoke multiple times before our big day and Sarah had endless recommendations and so much helpful advice to offer. On the day of our elopement, Sarah went above and beyond for us. She even drove us to our reception dinner after our time was over! We loved working with Sarah, and had a great time with her - she seemed like an old friend by the end of the day. The day after, she sent us so many beautiful sneak peaks we couldn’t choose a favorite. We are so pleased we chose Sarah and cannot recommend her enough. We love every photo in the album she created and will cherish our photos and our wedding day forever.

    You NEED Sarah as your photographer!

    Sarah is an incredibly talented photographer and we were so lucky to have her photograph our elopement! Not only was she so sweet, she has a way of putting you at ease in front of the camera and gave me all the guidance my awkward self needed to get STUNNING photos! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and how all the photos came out. She also helped choose locations, recommended restaurants and hotels to stay at. Very professional, got us preview photos the very next day and the full gallery in about a week. You NEED her for your elopement/wedding!

    Sarah is truly the BEST!

    Sarah was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I were so lucky to have her be part of our special day. Sarah is truly the perfect mix of everything you would want in a photographer: she’s easy going, she makes you laugh and be comfortable in front of a camera (and I’m super camera shy!). But she also knows how to take the lead – she’ll tell you how to pose and knows how to get large groups into formation for photos.

    Most importantly, Sarah is incredibly talented at what she does! Her passion for photography is evident in every shot she took, and it truly shows in the stunning images we received. She nailed every photo and had an eye for detail – nothing I would have ever even imagined doing! She’s incredibly professional and has one of the quickest response times I’ve ever experienced from start to finish! She provided our entire dream wedding photos with a quick turnaround!

    We cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. She exceeded all our expectations and provided us with a beautiful collection of memories that we will treasure for a lifetime! If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, look no further than Sarah. Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly!

    Above and beyond

    We highly recommend Sarah for any couple looking for an engagement/wedding photographer! She is truly amazing. We don’t take photos often so we were worried that we would feel awkward during our engagement session and wedding, but Sarah made us feel comfortable and confident. Not only did we love Sarah, our families did too! They raved during our wedding day and afterwards about how great she was and how gorgeous the photos are. We are not from the Santa Barbara area so we weren’t sure about photo locations - Sarah came ready with beautiful location recommendations. So if you’re coming from out of town, you will be in great hands with Sarah. We are still in awe of our engagement and wedding photos. We can’t even pick a favorite because they are all so beautiful. We can’t thank Sarah enough! 1000% recommend.

    You won't regret hiring, Sarah

    We absolutely love working with Sarah! She's captured the most breathtaking photos in every stage of our relationship from dating, to getting engaged, and then married.

    When we got engaged there was no doubt in our mind that she would be the one to take our engagement and wedding photos. We're still in awe of our epic engagement photos. We've been reliving our big day through the amazing wedding photos gallery. There are so many beautifully posed photos and incredibly special candid moments she captured.

    Sarah, thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly! If you're considering hiring Sarah, do it!

    Absolutely loved working with Sarah!

    I knew I wanted to get Sarah for my wedding for about a year before my wedding day. Her work is everything that I was looking for: bright, elegant, and timeless photos. Come wedding day, she was so sweet and professional. She knew where the perfect locations are for photos. She helped hold my pup too! I got my photos pretty fast and oh my... they were absolutely beautiful. I love them so much, I spent the next 3hrs just gushing over them. My friends and family were very impressed with the photos as well. I can't recommend Sarah enough. I would love to work with her again in the future.

    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!

    Simply the best photographer, Santa Barbra Brides book Sarah!!!

    We couldn’t speak more highly of Sarah! From the moment we met her, we felt confident in her abilities to capture our special day. During our engagement shoot, she effortlessly eased our nerves, enabling us to authentically be ourselves. As our wedding day approached, Sarah coordinated our timeline to ensure we captured all the essential moments. On the day of the wedding, she kept us on track, provided laughter during moments of stress, and was our right-hand woman to ensure our needs were met. Her responsiveness, charm, and infectious energy made the entire experience enjoyable. We look forward to Sarah capturing the next chapter of our lives. While her work speaks volumes, if you need further convincing to choose Sarah, look no further!

    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.

Thank you so much Sarah for exceeding all of our expectations and capturing our special day :)

    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.

    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.

She is flexible and has great suggestions to help make the whole process seamless while deliver the most amazing photos! We love how our photos turned out and can’t wait to work with her again!

    Best Wedding Photographer EVER!

    My partner and I are SO thankful for Sarah and the beautiful pictures she captured on our wedding day. She made us both feel so comfortable and we had so much fun! Sarah is a lovely lady and we are so grateful to her for making our day even more special. We cannot stop looking at our photos and we couldn’t be happier! If you are looking for a photographer who can take gorgeous photos of a special occasion, Sarah is your girl!
