Welcome to Desert Born Studios, where we specialize in capturing candid and natural wedding and elopement photography in San Diego and the surrounding areas, including Joshua Tree. We believe your wedding day should be an adventure, a reflection of your unique love story, not just a scripted event. Our goal is to document those raw, untamed, and truly authentic moments that you'll cherish forever.



Sara does an above and beyond job not only capturing the wedding but this beauty of the scenery as well! She has so much skill and experience photographing out in nature and we love having photos that reflect the magic of our outdoor venue exactly how we remembered it day of. So incredible!

When I had a vision of having a lineup of our friends VW buses at our wedding, I never would have imagined how well Sara incorporated them into our photos! It’s so great to know the elements of our wedding that were unique and special to us were taken into such detailed consideration and now we have awesome images to look back on.

Whether you are at a venue or eloping out in nature, you won’t be disappointed with a Desert Born Studios gallery!!

Working with Desert Born Studios was the best decision we made for our beach wedding in San Diego. The photos captured every emotion of our day in such a natural way. We can't stop looking at them!
- Sarah & James, Sunset Cliffs Wedding

Our Joshua Tree elopement was everything we dreamed it would be, and the photos prove it. The way our photographer captured the desert light and our connection was nothing short of magical.
- Emma & Daniel, Joshua Tree Elopement

As a couple who hates posing for photos, we were nervous about our wedding photography. But Desert Born Studios made us feel so comfortable that we forgot the camera was even there. The candid moments captured are absolutely priceless.
- Michael & Olivia, Torrey Pines Wedding
