Testimonial

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sierra for our November 2024 wedding, and we are beyond thrilled with the results! From the moment we met her in September 2023 for our engagement shoot, we felt an instant connection. She is such a warm, kind person, and she made us feel so comfortable, especially since we had never done professional photos before. She even captured our dog beautifully, which made the experience that much more special.


On our wedding day, Sierra captured the most breathtaking photos. We are completely obsessed with every single shot! Her style is so elegant, clean, and timeless. Whether it was a portrait or a candid moment, she perfectly captured the emotions and the beauty of our day. We can’t even pick a favorite—they’re all just stunning. Every time we look at our photos, we fall in love with them more and more. They truly tell the story of our day in such a beautiful way, and we will cherish these memories forever.


Sierra was also incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. She was always responsive, available, and made everything so stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we can’t recommend her enough!

Sierra was great!! We had a pretty good idea of a lot of the combinations of people we wanted pictures of and with but Sierra took it to a whole different level. She was kind, patient, professional, flexible, knowledgeable and efficient. But most importantly, she is an excellent photographer and captures the special, unforgettable moments perfectly. When I look at the pictures they make me feel the same way I felt when she took them! All our friends and family felt the same about their experience!
