Your Story, Captured Authentically in San Diego & Beyond
We cannot recommend Sara enough! From the minute we had an initial phone call with her we knew she was our wedding photographer. She just has the best energy, makes you feel so comfortable and is also insanely talented. Sara shot our engagement photos and when she showed up on our wedding day it felt like seeing an old friend! Throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day she was so easy to communicate with and so helpful with her input to the timeline. Sara and her second shooter Lei were our dream team and we couldn’t be happier with the photos and the fun energy they brought to our special day! From the romantics, to the portraits, to the party shots at the reception, our gallery was filled with the most incredible photos. They captured everything so perfectly and we are so grateful to have these photos to look back on and remember our wedding day. Book Desert Born Studios, I promise it will be some of the best money you spend on your wedding!!
From day one of us reaching out Sara felt like a friend and we knew we needed to ask her to shoot our engagement and wedding photos. She provided us with information like great spots for engagement shoots and help planning outfits. Pricing was transparent and her communication was seamless. She made this part of our wedding planning so effortless and enjoyable, and made the absolute most out of the time we booked her for our wedding day. She and her second shooter got all the shots we requested and then some come wedding day, and she was great when it came to working with our other vendors. She even went above and beyond helping us when we ran into some issues with our videographer. We really enjoyed working with Sara and her team and would recommend her a million times over. We look forward to having her shoot photos of us again someday!
S&C
Sara photographed our micro wedding in August and we couldn't be happier with our experience and the photographs she captured. From the moment she arrived to the end of the ceremony, Sara made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She is so sweet and you immediately feel like she's your friend which eliminates the anxiety/discomfort of posing for photos. She was creative and has a unique style that sets her apart from other photographers. Sara was able to turn seemingly dull backdrops into stunning scenes. She was a true professional and we can't recommend her enough!
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!

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.
