Your wedding day doesn’t need more pressure. It needs more presence.
For most couples I work with, it’s not about a flawless timeline or golden-hour portraits (though we’ll get those too if you want them). It’s about your grandma’s hands on your shoulders before you walk down the aisle. It’s your best friend’s toast that makes you ugly laugh and then tear up in the same breath. It’s the way your partner looks at you when you’re not even paying attention.
Your day is about the magic you experience when you’re in it.
Your wedding day already holds all the beauty it needs; we don’t have to manufacture more of it with on-demand smiles and endless poses.
I’m for the couple who doesn’t need a checklist of photos crossed off, but space to feel and experience their day fully.
Actually attend your cocktail hour
Get photos that reflect your relationship
Have space to breathe between moments
Work with someone who values people over poses
If you love hard, feel deeply, and hope this day will be more than just a blur, I can’t wait to meet you!
Hey, I’m Sarah, an Oahu wedding photographer who encourages you to live in the moment.
I grew up on O‘ahu surrounded by people who taught me how to pay attention to little gestures and love that shows up in everyday ways. And now, I notice those same things in you.
Weddings can be joyful, complicated, emotional, and imperfect… and still completely unforgettable.
Even with the stress, you get to feel all of it.
And later, when the day has flown by, I want your photos to bring it all rushing back – the hope, the relief, the overwhelming love that you can hold onto.
All love is welcome here. Always.
It doesn’t matter who you love, how you identify, or what you look like.
If you’re wildly excited to marry your person and want to soak up every second of it, I’m with you.
Kind words from past couples
Sarah was an absolute dream photographer.
From the initial intro video call, we could tell that she totally fit our vibe - fun, light-hearted, and easy-going. She was very transparent and happy to show us full galleries of her previous work (which were amazing). On the day of the wedding, she was timely and professional, and totally made it feel like we were being photographed by a friend.

Hawai’i isn’t just a tourist destination. It’s home for me and for many others.
Planning your wedding in Hawai’i is a beautiful privilege and one that deserves care.
As someone who calls these islands home, I believe we all have a responsibility to show up respectfully. If you’re flying in from elsewhere, welcome! Thank you for coming, and please leave this place just as beautiful as when you arrived. I’m more than happy to share resources to help you understand the culture, choose local vendors, and avoid overused or sacred locations.
