MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I am so happy you are here. You deserve to be fully present — not performing, not posing, not rushed. To me you are more than a booking. You are the epitome of everything beautiful that this world has to offer. I want to meet you in that. To move with you not for you, to listen, understand & reflect, not just photograph. To cultivate & grow beside you... not just schedule you. I want sequels, prequels & eras, not just chapters. I want every wave of existence this life holds for you. I want it all.

TRAVELLING WORLDWIDE FOR your story
Dear Reader,
FEATURED WEDDINGS
Documentary wedding photography rooted in emotion, movement, and meaning.
Serving Bakersfield, Central California, and destination weddings worldwide.
Every love story is its own unfolding —
rooted in real moments, quiet exchanges, and the spaces between.
I photograph with a cinematic, honest approach — drawn to golden light, earthy tones, and the raw, unposed beauty of how life feels.
Here is a glimpse into the stories I’ve had the honor to witness and hold.
Each one captured with care, presence, and a devotion to what is true.
mckenna & matt, lake tahoe wedding
"I truly can’t recommend Sierra enough! She recently did our engagement shoot and I am beyond thrilled that she’ll also be photographing our wedding. I’m usually someone who feels pretty awkward and stiff in front of the camera. I’ve never really considered myself photogenic, but Sierra made the entire experience so fun and comfortable. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the shoot, and even more shocked by how in love I am with the photos we got back. She captured everything so beautifully and naturally. If you're looking for a photographer who makes you feel at ease and delivers stunning photos, Sierra is your girl!"
braya & landon, nirvana estate bakersfield, ca wedding
"I had such an amazing experience with Sierra! Not only did she make my dream engagement shoot come to life, but she also made it such an enjoyable experience for the both of us. Sierra pays attention to every small detail and always makes sure that you are comfortable and having an amazing time! Couldn’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone who will listen to what you want and then exceed those expectations, then Sierra is your girl!"
Hannah & broc Bakersfield wedding
"Sierra is seriously amazing!! She is so sweet and made me feel so comfortable and confident during my shoot. The whole experience was so fun! And of course the pics turned out amazing 10/10 experience."
alina & luke, san diego micro wedding
"We absolutely LOVED having Sierra as our wedding photographer for so many reasons. Her communication was spot on, even with us being from the Boston area. She brought huge, fun energy the day of our wedding (despite having driven 5 hours with a nail in her tire, which we had no idea about!!), worked effortlessly with the videographer, and captured so many details and small moments that were such wonderful surprises once we got our gallery back. The quality of her work speaks for itself and was the exact style we were looking for, but even then we couldn't imagine how spectacular our wedding photos would come out. We were so lucky to have found her and I cannot recommend her enough!"
HEART WARMING WORDS FROM MY COUPLES
the world's our oyster
Wherever you’re going, that’s where I want to be.
My bags are packed, the flight is booked — travel is part of the story I tell.
Home is wherever my couples feel most alive.
At the edge of the world, or tucked inside a quiet cottage in the forest.
If your path is taking you somewhere new, I would be honored to meet you there.

Some stories are loud celebrations.
Some are quiet thresholds we cross without anyone watching.
Weddings, family, reclamation — every chapter matters.
I am here to hold the becoming, the returning, and the remembering of who you are.
