an experience revolved around you
This isn’t just about beautiful images—it’s about your story: the quiet glances, the laughter that lingers, the fleeting moments that carry meaning long after the day is over. My work is designed to feel timeless, layered, and infused with nostalgia, so that years from now, your memories feel as alive and vivid as the day itself.
I love working with intentional couples who value every detail, collaborating seamlessly with planners, florists, and vendors to bring a thoughtful, cohesive celebration to life. Together, we create a day that flows effortlessly—calm, joyful, and guided by love—while still leaving room for spontaneity, laughter, and the little sparks of fun that make your celebration uniquely yours.
My approach blends intentional artistry with a documentary sensibility, honoring the unposed, unfiltered, and in-between moments: the teary eyes, the quiet touches, the belly laughs, and the fleeting seconds that often mean the most. I strive to preserve not just how your day looked, but how it felt—emotionally rich, authentic, and entirely true to your love story.
Above all, this work is a partnership. Your openness allows me to be present with you, and in return, I bring my full heart, curiosity, and a touch of playful energy to make it feel light, joyful, and genuine. Every moment is honored, every memory preserved, so your story can be revisited and cherished for generations to come.
my gift to you…
As part of your wedding experience, you’ll receive a complimentary engagement session—a relaxed, joy-filled moment to soak each other in and celebrate this season of love. We’ll create images that feel like you—warm, genuine, and full of connection—delivered as at least 60 beautifully edited photos within 72 hours.

Love notes worth remembering
I don’t even know where to start, sierra brought my dream photos to life! She was so thorough, and made sure my day was perfect! We had the perfect timeline set so I was able to spend the most time we could with our guests but still have an abundance of photos! She delivered photos back to me less than 24 hrs after my wedding! I’m so glad I found her and if you’re reading this BOOK HER! Can’t say enough good things about her!!
