The onelove EXPERIENCE
An Experience Designed Around You
From the meticulous planning of your personalized shot list, to creating the vision for your imagery — we are with you every step of the way. And because we're a close-knit crew, you'll have your own personal hype squad ensuring the whole experience is genuine, seamless, and completely tailored to you.
We’re Here to capture the Magic — Uninhibited, Unforgettable, Unbelievably You.
You’ll feel like you’re hanging out with your best friends who just happen to have cameras in hand. Words like “calm,” “fun,” “warm,” and “kind” are often what our couples use to describe the experience with our team, and that’s because we know how to create a vibe that makes everyone feel at ease. This connection lets our couples kick back and just be, leading to photos full of real, joyful moments and spontaneous magic.
Genuine connection As if we're just another friend there to celebrate your day
Our approach centers on real connection. Before your wedding day even arrives, we take the time to understand what makes your love story special. This deep understanding allows us to capture your day in a way that’s intimate and true to your unique story. It’s more than just photos — it’s a feeling of being seen and celebrated.

HEY, I'M SARA — FOUNDER, EDITOR, AND OG ONELOVE PHOTOGRAPHER
We are a team based in the Bay Area and Southern California. Sara lives in the Bay Area but she works between SF and LA, while the rest of our team is based in all regions.
Sara determines who will be the best fit for you from our team during a personal consultation. It's a very thoughtful decision, as she considers many factors (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 she edits their imagery, you will be in great hands with any member of our family. However, this pairing is very personal, therefore Sara hand-selects the team member for you specifically when she meets you. We have extensive galleries and portfolio links for each member of our team. When Sara pairs you with your photographer, she will share their private portfolio with you to explore.
All of the photographs on the Onelove Photography website are the team's work. Sara personally photographs only a handful of weddings per year. View her work exclusively on this separate website! Sara lives in the Bay Area and works between there and Southern California year round.
Yep. Since we are based in Los Angeles and San Francisco we do not charge any kind of travel fee in the 100-mile vicinity of these areas. Outside of 100 miles, or with late night coverage after 10pm, we can discuss the arrangement for accommodating us with a hotel, or flight, if necessary. We’re simple – no hidden “fees”.
"the team really put my husband and i at ease"
- Devin and James
"Sara was VERY organized and communicative, even more so than our other vendors. She got us asking questions we hadn't even thought of yet! The team really put my husband and I at ease. They captured our day in a natural, romantic, narrative style. On the day of, the team was happy to go with some of our ideas for certain shots beyond the agreed upon shot list, which was so generous. We were so happy with the results. I would 10000% recommend this team."
