Based in California, available for weddings worldwide. Specializing in meaningful imagery that preserves the feeling behind every moment.

Wedding photography rooted in warmth, intention and presence

Creating photographs that feel just as alive years from now

I’m Sarah, a California wedding photographer documenting celebrations both close to home and around the world.

What first drew me to weddings wasn’t just the beauty of the day, but the meaning behind it. The feeling of everyone gathered together. The quiet moments between family members. The fleeting interactions that often become the memories we hold onto most.

Growing up in Brazil and later living abroad shaped the way I see photographs. Every time I’m home with my family, we end up gathered around old film photos, reliving moments that still feel alive years later. That perspective stays with me every time I pick up my camera.

My approach is calm, intentional and deeply attentive. I’ll guide when needed, step back when it matters, and create space for you to fully experience your day as it naturally unfolds. I care deeply about how my clients feel throughout the process, not just how the photographs look in the end.

The result is imagery that feels timeless, emotional and honest to who you are and the people you love most.

"On our wedding day, Sarah went above and beyond to make sure that every single moment was captured perfectly. She was everywhere at once, yet somehow managed to remain invisible - a true testament to her skill and professionalism. She made sure that we felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire day, which really helped to make our photos look natural and authentic."

" A photographer who truly cares about her clients"

"Our wedding day was perfect—and Sarah not only captured that beautifully, she was a big reason it felt so perfect.
 She gave fantastic coaching, kept everything moving smoothly, and even joined us on the dance floor for a bit. One of my favorite moments was realizing my two‑year‑old niece had somehow ended up in Sarah’s arms.
She did far more than I ever expected a photographer to do.
Sarah is an exceptional photographer. She captured the emotions, energy, and story of our day in a way that feels authentic and timeless.."

"From the moment we met Sarah for our engagement photos, I knew it was a match made in heaven. She has the most thoughtful, kind, and caring energy. She made us feel so comfortable, and she's hilarious. When it came to our wedding weekend, Sarah captured our welcome party and wedding day so perfectly. We trusted her with every fiber in our being, and I'm so glad we did. Our wedding photos are absolutely perfect. "

 "On the day of the wedding, she brought such a calm, joyful energy—it honestly felt like having another friend by our side who just happened to be taking magazine-worthy photos the entire time.
Her eye for detail is unreal. Every shot she delivered was breathtaking—like something straight out of a bridal editorial. The way she captured the emotions, the lighting, the tiny in-between moments… it’s more than photography. It’s art."

" Sarah was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding."

"I'm in absolute awe of her work after receiving my wedding gallery!!! If you are lucky enough to have her as your photographer just know you will be in the BEST hands. She is not only insanely talented but also such an amazing person to be around. She was incredibly patient, kind, helpful, fun, and honestly our guests favorite vendor! She made us both feel so comfortable from very beginning when we did our engagement shoot and did the same for our people on our wedding day. Partnering with Sarah was one of the best decisions we made and we so are grateful for her work! She captured our day better than I could have ever imagined. "

"My husband and I are not used to photos and do not like the spotlight, but Sarah made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. Her communication throughout the entire process was also incredible. She went above and beyond to help guide us through the process all while making it so much fun. We cannot thank Sarah enough for the beautiful photos and lovely experience! We hope to work with her again soon."

" The absolute best decision of our wedding"
