Their thoughts...


"Sara was absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped us throughout the planning process and was there to answer any questions we had along the way. On our wedding day she made us feel comfortable and at ease. Sara made all our visions for the day come true and we are grateful she was such an integral part of our special day! We would highly recommend her to anyone and look forward to the opportunity to have her capture our family again in the future."

Intimate Backyard Wedding


Keira + Adam wanted to get married in a place that was meaningful to them. The location couldn't have been more perfect! The large family property has two beach fronts where they would swim off of the rocks and watch sunsets. It was initially a family cottage and then was turned into the most beautiful and unique family home I've ever seen. This was the perfect backdrop for Keira + Adam to both get ready, host their outdoor intimate ceremony, and party the night away.


From the minute Keira + Adam contacted me, it was an instant connection. I loved their vision for their day, and they trusted me 100% to document the day as it unfolded. No pre-set photos, just document connection, love, and moments.
