Your photographs and film are the only things that will grow more valuable as time passes.
I'm a big believer in transparency, which is why you'll find my pricing information below. Because knowing exactly what this investment looks like matters when you're trusting someone to document the memories you’ll hold onto for the rest of your life.

married in San Francisco
"10/10! Sara worked with us for our wedding as well as our anniversary photos. She captures our love and intimacy in our true form - we didn't feel pressured to pose a certain way or act a certain way, we just got to spend our special day loving on each other. I’m so thankful we found Sara and I can’t wait to see all the memories she will get to capture of us in the future. We’re all about authentic memories being captured and with Sara it’s more than just posing, it’s authentic and real. Sara is our forever photographer and we will always recommend her to others! Even if we move away from California, we will pay to have Sara travel to us!"
The typical 6 or 8 hour packages create an artificial sense of urgency and pressure that can overshadow the magic of your wedding day. This can pull you out of the moment, making you rush past memories you should be savoring. You shouldn’t have to worry if you can fit in your first dance or cake cutting because your photographer is about to leave. Full-day coverage removes that stress, allowing you to relax and fully enjoy each moment without the pressure of time.
With hourly coverage, there's no room for the unexpected, like a surprise speech, impromptu dance-off, or the small, meaningful interactions between you and your loved ones. These moments are what make your wedding day unique, and by limiting coverage, you risk missing them. Full-day coverage gives you the flexibility to capture everything, even the moments that you didn't plan for.
Weddings are a story. Hourly packages can fragment that story, cutting it short and missing the depth in between. Years from now, imagine flipping through your wedding photos and realizing you missed out on the late-night laughter or the quiet moments of connection with your best friend while getting ready. Full-day coverage ensures every detail is documented, from the intimate moments in the morning to the lively celebration into the night.

- Estefania + Brian,
married in Santa Cruz
You won't regret booking with Sara! We wanted photos that were genuine and that captured the moments as they were happening. Sara was amazing at this!! At the wedding, we would see her every now and then snapping away but for the most part we were able to enjoy ourselves, trusting her to capture our special day. When we looked over our photos, we were so happy. It was like reliving the day all over again. We loved how she captured almost every wedding guest at least once. The portraits of us both were perfect. It is so special to have these photos to look back on.

- Monica + Juan,
eloeped in Oregon
I wish I could rate 10 stars or even 100+. Planning an elopement in a state neither I or my husband have been SHOULD have been super nerve-racking and scary but with Sara's help, it made us feel at ease. Sara was able to offer tons of information on different sites and hike difficulty. I can never thank her enough for capturing our special day. All of our photos and Super 8 film came out absolutely breath taking. I will never not recommend Sara and A Better Match Studios.

F.A.Q.
Yes, but... I like to keep things simple and I’ve found that couples feel more at ease and present when there’s fewer cameras around.
I’m fully comfortable documenting your day on my own and I'm fully capable of capturing all the moments that matter, from the big emotional ones to the quiet in-between.
However, if your wedding would benefit from a second perspective, like capturing a unique angle during the ceremony (such as a balcony view) or covering two things happening at once (like you and your partner getting ready in different locations), I’m more than happy to bring along one of my trusted photographer friends as a second photographer!
Absolutely!!! We do prioritize couples who want to book us for both photography and videography, but we also love getting to focus on just one medium for the day too. Our pricing for videography-only is the same as our photography-only packages.
I LOVE my Canon EOS 1V. This is the very last (and the very best) professional 35mm film camera that Canon ever made. It takes EF Canon lenses, so I get to use the same lenses on this camera that I use on my modern digital Canon cameras. It's bulky and heavy, but built so well & I use it at every wedding I photograph.
A close second is my Kowa Super 66. Known as the “poor man’s Hasselblad," this Japanese medium format camera from the 60s is all manual, has a waist level viewfinder, weighs about 8lbs, and is just so fun to use.
