Kona Wedding, Elopement & Family Photographer
Capturing Joyful, authentic moments across Hawaii's Big Island
Aloha, I'm Sarah

Inspired by the beauty and spirit of Hawaii'i Island, my goal is to create timeless images that preserve not only how your day looked, but how it felt.

Working with Sarah was an absolute joy from start to finish. She came to my art studio for my branding shoot and captured not just images, but the feeling of the space — my art, my process, and me in the middle of it all. She has a wonderful eye for natural light and a gift for putting you at ease in front of the camera, which made the whole experience relaxed rather than stiff or staged. On top of the photos, she shot several short videos that brought a whole new dimension to my website — movement and words alongside the stills.
This isn't the first time Sarah's worked her magic for me, either. She was also behind the camera when my husband and I eloped and married barefoot on the beach — and she captured that day with the same warmth and ease she brought to my studio shoot. That's rare: a photographer who can move between documenting a creative business and holding space for one of the most intimate days of your life, and do both beautifully.
The results speak for themselves: gorgeous, warm, authentic images that feel like me — my art, my studio, my story, and my life. If you're looking for a photographer who takes the time to understand who you are, I can't recommend Sarah highly enough.

Sarah is exceptional!! We came from out of town and she took us to all of the best places! She accommodated our schedule over a series of days so we were able to get many different locations at different times of day for the best lighting! She was so kind and patient when giving direction and just a joy to be with!!
