About this vendor
One day.
The accumulation of endless hours, dreams, thoughts, errands; it's all happening, in one day.
The memories of your wedding day should be preserved carefully and intentionally.
That's what I aim to do.
Through the jittery getting ready, the deep breaths as you walk up to your person and tap them on the shoulder,
through the weighty ceremony vows, the precious reception speeches, the emotional dances, and the silly grandpa moves,
through all of it, I'm there, capturing it.
If you take the time to look through my entire wedding portfolio, you'll notice no two days look alike. That's intentional. That's my being true to every couple. No couple, no wedding, no love story is like any other. All of it is the first, all of it is unique, all of it deserves artistic affection.
I will do everything I can as an artist to tell your story as true to you as possible. I want to make it *feel* and *look* like you. Every time. Always.

Sandra was very nice and her work is lovely. I would say if you are not following a traditional wedding vibe be very clear with what you are hoping for. Twi things came as a surpr...
ise.
She says she is a “Photographer who focuses on a documentary approach; intentional and candid” which led me to believe she would be documenting the entire day and not just “THE moments”. The pictures we have are BEAUTIFUL I love them. I selected her because she said she takes a documentary approach and I wanted the event documented. I thought this would mean she would be walking around documenting the day but outside of the big moments (vows, first dance and some family pictures) she was sitting and talking to our aunties for hours. I have no problem with folks taking down time I just wish I had been told that’s what to expect. I assumed “documentary approach” meant something more than just the big moments.
We purchased a roll of film. The camera she was using looked like something your boomer mom donated to goodwill when she finally figured out how to use her camera phone. I haven’t seen any of those.
She also complained so much at the location I was getting ready I had to accommodate her. Again. No problem providing accommodations but a heads up would have been lovely.
The pictures we do have from the day are okay but VERY disappointed that we paid for 8 hours of coverage and didn’t receive or see 8 hours of coverage reflected in our photos. I wouldn’t work with her again.
Sandra is the best photographer. She makes you feel at ease and comfortable and captures beautiful moments and emotions in her photography. We were looking for a photographer wit...

Working with Double Coast was fun and easy. My fiance wasn't stoked about having professional photos taken and thought things would be awkward and posed. Not with Sandra! She was r...
elaxed and really good about catching the "in-between" moments where our personalities were revealed. She's also so prompt with sending a batch of preview photos that are gorgeous. Her style is intimate and timeless and we will definitely treasure her work forever.

t, knew just what to do, helped us pick the perfect grooms/moms dance song, stayed a little late without a complaint. She fit in like part of the family. I will never hire another photographer for anything if she is available. She checked in with us every few months up to wedding, gave us timelines, relieved my anxiety and was very comfortable to be around the day of. I’m so freaking glad we chose her! Was honored to have her there. Hire her! Now!!!

We could not have hoped for a better photographer to capture our big day. Sandra was personable, professional and her prices were very reasonable.
She helped us create a thorough t...
imeline and worked through any questions we had well in advance of the wedding. On the day of she helped us stay on track but was flexible when the timeline got thrown off. She got pictures of many parts of the day I was too busy to see, and looking through our photos we were able to enjoy it all over again.
Sandra laughed with us and morphed into part of our crew for the day. We we are so thankful to have worked with someone who took time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable. Our pictures are beautiful and we will love them for many years to come.

ing planning was made so much easier with her help when it came to establishing the photo schedule and listened to my every request when it came to how I wanted the photos to look. If you’re looking for a wedding, engagement or just fun photo shoot photographer then go to double coast, I cannot express enough how good of an experience I had with her. 11/10

normally don;t love taking photos of ourselves, but Sandra made us so comfortable that day that we felt comfortable being our true selves in front of the camera. Our photos are perfect and had a such a quick turnaround time. I would recommend Double Coast to anyone and everyone! Will be connecting with her again for future couple and family photos!
Oh my goodness I don't even know where to start. Sandra took our wedding photos and we are absolutely in love with them. Not only are we super pleased with the photos, but the enti...
re process of communicating, planning, and the actual photography was a breeze. Sandra was super helpful with timelines and guidelines for the whole ceremony, which was wonderful because it took a TON of stress off us for the wedding. We knew exactly where she would be during the ceremony and when all of the individual photoshoots would be taken. She's also like, the sweetest person. If you're looking for a talented photographer to capture your special moments timelessly, she's your girl!

e photos she captured and I could not be more pleased with the way they turned out. She has great communication before and after your session. She is professional and fun. I can not recommend Sandra enough!
Finding someone to capture your big day is one of the toughest things to do. When I met Sandra, I knew she would embrace every real detail of our wedding, and truly bring out the b...
est in us. She did all of that and more, and we’ve been so thankful to have such beautiful photos to look back on. She doesn’t just take photos, she takes photos of who we are as people, and highlights on our inner beauty. Sandra is professional, kind, and very down to earth (which can be so important to nervous brides!) I’ll definitely be going to her future photography needs, and can’t recommend her work enough❤️
