Your Wedding Day Should Be About Joy, Not Stress

Your wedding day is meant to be one of the most joyful experiences of your life — but between the timelines, vendor coordination, and your natural worry about how you’ll look in photos, it’s easy to feel stressed. Maybe you’re worried about looking stiff or unnatural, or you’re dreading spending hours in awkward poses while missing time with your guests. You deserve more than forced smiles and missed moments.

You deserve to feel:

Let's Make That Happen »

  • completely at ease
  • excited, never rushed
  • and able to be present in every part of your celebration

When the planning Falls Short, So Do the wedding Photos

Many photographers show up on the wedding day with no clear plan, leaving you feeling stressed, rushed, and pulled away from the celebration (missing precious time with your guests!) for prolonged periods of time. Or worse, they stick to overused poses that feel generic and disconnected from your story.

We do things differently. From pre-day planning to scouting the best spots any kind of weather, we handle every detail so you don’t have to. With a personalized timeline, shot list, and a team that knows your venue inside and out, you can stay fully present, trusting that every meaningful moment is captured beautifully.

An Experience Designed Around YOU

"Our photos turned out amazing!"

- Laura + Wilian

I had an amazing experience using OneLove for our wedding. From the day I sent our my first email to them, to the day they sent me my wedding photos, everything went so smoothly. I really appreciated all of the communication ahead of time, they really made sure to get to know you and take your photo preferences into account ahead of time. Day-of was incredible! My husband and I aren't big "photo" people and usually feel awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel super comfortable taking photos and boy did they work some magic because our photos turned out AMAZING! I did a lot of research ahead of time before choosing OneLove, and I hope this review helps anyone reading not waste any more time researching themselves: OneLove will do an incredible job!

So What do our packages look like?

But Packages are just the start - we tailor Your day to you

We understand that every couple has a different vision for their wedding day, and different needs. We take the time to understand your story, style, and what matters most to you, crafting a package that fits your unique celebration.

Whether you want a single day captured celebrating with your closest loved ones or multi-day coverage that spans every joyful moment, we’ll design an experience that feels perfect.

Let's Plan Your Custom Package  »

Let’s Get to Know Each Other

Choosing your wedding photographer deserves a little more personalization than a one-click booking, don't you think? We like to get to know our couples, so once you inquire, we'll hop on a call for a heartfelt vibe check to get to know you and your story.

We love these first meetings for a few reasons:










So, how does this work?

step one —

Say No More  »

Your story is different than everyone we’ve ever met, and we LOVE discovering who you are

After learning who you are, Sara can introduce you to the perfect photographer for YOUR day

It lets us tailor your package to what's important to you, so you get everything you want from your wedding memories

By the end of the call we'll be on the fast-track to friends already! You'll get a proposal soon after and we'll be on our way to the fun part...

Get your feet wet with an engagement session date for two

....because it's important to step in front of the lens and let us squash your fear of feeling stiff and posed. We'll have you fill out a Detailed Photo Vision + Relationship Questionnaire and we'll help you select the most breathtaking engagement session location. You'll see first hand how we use gentle prompts and our signature documentary-style to capture the two of you uninhibited, unforgettable, and unbelievably yourself.
And the best part? You’ll have stunning photos for your save-the-dates and memories that are so you.

step two —

Psst: Wanna know a secret? None of the couples on our website are models!

Get Personalized planning from our photo coordinator

You don’t need to worry about where or when to take your photos. We're one of the only wedding photographers who has a dedicated Photography Coordinator whose entire job it is to take the stress off your shoulders. She’ll collect some family details and preferences and turn them into a personal shot list, prioritizing what photos matter most to you. We pre-plan your photo locations and arrive early to scout locations at your venue in advance to ensure the PERFECT lighting for the weather on your big day. (Even if we've been there a hundred times over the past 15 years!) Then she'll stay in contact with you during your entire engagement. You'll never have to worry if we have all the details ready for your big day.

step three —

Enjoy every moment of your wedding day!

The big day is here! Be fully present, surrounded by love and joy, while we capture it all. From breathtaking lighting to those fleeting, emotional moments, we’ll document your day in a way that feels timeless and true to you.

You might even notice a few surprise moments in your photos — like teary-eyed guests or details you missed while dancing the night away. 

step four —

P.P.S. You can even give us a secret cue so we can whisk you away for a private moment for just the two of you. For photos, of course... ;) 

Plan a date night to view your photos & relive every magical memory

Once the party’s over, Sara will work her magic editing your photos. Within a month, you’ll get a sneak peek, and your full gallery will be delivered two months after your big day.

Pro tip: We suggest you make it a date night to relive the magic! You’ll be grinning ear to ear as you scroll through your incredibly natural, heart-stopping images that exceed your wildest dreams and reflect your one-of-a-kind love story. Choose your favorites and let us design an album you'll enjoy looking at every anniversary.

after the wedding—

LET's GET STARTED!

Here's my calendar. Select the best time for us to talk (even if you don't have all your wedding details planned yet). We'll start planning your perfect photos today!

Hugs and High Fives,

Wondering About the Details? 

We’ve Got You Covered

Choosing your wedding photographer is a huge deal. We know you probably have a million questions for us, and we have answers! Click any of the questions below to reveal the intimate details of how we'll make your big day unforgettable.

Don't worry, we're not sticking you with just anybody! While Sara only photographs a limited number of weddings each year, she is deeply dedicated to ensuring your photos are unforgettable. Sara will sit down with you during a personal consultation to get to know you better. From that, she'll hand-pick which of our One Love photographers will be the best fit for you. It's a very thoughtful decision, as she considers factors like your venue, cultural/religious traditions, personal style, as well as your personalities.

Since each member of our team is trained by Sara to shoot in the same style, and personally she edits every client's imagery herself, your photos are guaranteed to look exactly like what you see in our portfolio - no surprises!

However, this pairing is very personal - you get the final say. Once Sara hand-selects the team member for you, we'll send over your photographer's private portfolio to review and approve.

So happy you'd like to book us! We always say - the earlier, the better. Our May-September wedding season books very quickly, so we recommend reserving your date between 8-12 months in advance. We're already booking weddings in 2026 and 2027.

However, with our team we do sometimes have more availability, so it's always worth checking if your date is closer than that! 

Great question! Most weddings run 6-10 hours. If you've already booked your ceremony and reception venues, we can get an idea from that. If not, don't worry! We'll ask several questions on our initial chat to figure out what you have planned on your big day that will tell us how much coverage you'll need. After 15 years, we have a good idea how much time, and how many photographers we'll need to plan for.

"My husband and I get a bit shy when we take photos, and they made us feel so comfortable and safe to be ourselves."

- Grace + Travis 

We feel so lucky to have been able to work with the team at onelove photography. They met with us periodically throughout the year leading up to the wedding. We completed detailed questionnaires and had in depth conversations about our hopes for the wedding photos. Sara was so knowledgeable and professional, and she made us feel at ease throughout the entire year and on the wedding day. They were so gracious and patient with my large family and navigated complicated family dynamics with ease. We truly felt like they were part of the family by the end of the day.
