CAPTURING LOVE STORIES

Hi, I’m Sarah — Greater Palm Springs photographer specializing in Intimate Joshua Tree Weddings and Elopements. I also love to photograph dreamy maternity sessions and gorgeous lifestyle family sessions. I use both 35mm film and digital mediums to create carefully curated galleries for my clients that are  full of timeless, organic photographs that capture love, family, and connection in the heart of the desert. It's all about the experience, which in turn creates beautiful images to work with. You will find I am thoughtful, creative, fun and the kind of person who has a calm and approachable presence. Even the most non photo taking clients feel comfortable in front of my lens.

Featured Wedding

Ismael and Alma

An intimate wedding at Cap Rock, where two Joshua Trees naturally bend to form an arch—and beneath them, two souls vowed forever. Photographed on 35mm film in the heart of Joshua Tree National Park, this micro wedding was both earthy and elegant. See more from this beautiful day.

A Personal Passion

The Planets by Dance Mojave

In May 2025, Dance Mojave’s ‘The Planets’ illuminated the night at Sky’s the Limit Observatory in 29 Palms. This site-specific performance was a celebration of High Desert performing arts—uniting dancers of all ages, live musicians, and local artists beneath the Mojave stars. I had the honor of both dancing in and photographing this unforgettable desert production
