Who Want to Be Fully Present on Their Wedding Day. Now booking limited 2025 + 2026 weddings – Inquire today!
Your wedding day is meant to be fully lived, not just posed for.
You’re not just planning a wedding—you’re crafting an experience that feels authentically YOU. You want to be fully present, soaking in every laugh, tear, and spontaneous moment with the people who mean the most to you.
But you also want incredible photos that bring it all back—the magic, the energy, the emotions—without feeling staged, rushed, or like you missed out on your own party.
That’s where I come in. 💛
Hey, I’m Sara Monika!
I’m not just here to take beautiful photos—I’m here to give you the freedom to be fully present on your wedding day while capturing the essence of your day with deep intention and artistry.
I balance intuition and intention, artistry and organization, presence and preparation. With 13 years of experience, 350+ weddings, and an innate ability to read energy and emotion, I know exactly how to document your story in a way that feels natural, real, and deeply personal.
Your wedding isn’t just about you—it’s about all the love surrounding you. That’s why I don’t just see you as my clients—your family and friends matter just as much in the way I capture your day.
You deserve a photographer who just gets it.
-
I get to know you beforehand through a personalized engagement questionnaire, so when your wedding day comes, I know exactly how to make you feel comfortable and natural—no awkward posing required!
-
That’s why I create a custom photo timeline around how YOU want to experience your day. I’m there all day, so there’s no pressure to squeeze everything into a short window. You get the time and space to be present, while I document every meaningful moment as it unfolds like a movie - with a beginning, middle and an end.
-
I bring a calm, centered energy to your day—reading the room, guiding when needed, and letting you just be when the moment calls for it. One of the biggest compliments I get from my couples after they’ve seen their wedding photos are:
“I'm amazed at how she managed to capture so many incredible moments without us even realizing it. She really captured the essence of our event and who we are as a couple so effortlessly.” - Hayley + Richard
“How were you EVERYWHERE?! You somehow managed to capture every single moment of our wedding day, and from multiple perspectives.” - Shelby + Joe -
Every photo I take is highly intentional, capturing moments that feel genuine and true to your connection—so when you look back at them years from now, you’ll think, “Wow, that was SO us.” I have an innate ability to read energy and emotion, so I know exactly how to guide you so that things don’t feel forced or staged!
“Our wedding photos are stunning and everything we could have hoped for and more.”
We absolutely loved spending our day with you. Your energy was instantly calming and confident and your directions were organic and natural. You are so talented and captured our emotions, the vibe and our guests so beautifully. Your passion is so evident in your work and we couldn’t be happier that we now get to share this day through your lens. We will cherish these photos forever!!! You’ve given us the gift of authentically preserving our day forever and we are so very grateful for that. :)
– Tara + Brad
