It was such a pleasure working with OneLove Photography for our wedding in June 2023!!! I was nervous about finding the right photography team for our big day, since my mother is a film professional with a very discerning eye, but I was so thrilled (and relieved!) when I came across OneLove through our wedding venue's recommended vendors list, looked through their portfolio, and got my mother's seal of approval! Sara and her team are total seasoned professionals and clearly love what they do. Their level of commitment to their clients is truly incredible, and they are super organized, attentive, and thoughtful. And their pricing is really reasonable! From beginning to end, Sara was highly responsive -- registering requests, answering questions, and hopping on a call with us at the drop of a hat. Our photography coordinator Anna was on top of everything and was also very quick to respond to questions, requests, and changes as we developed our photography game plan and timeline. Our lead photographer Jessica was a excellent match for us and an absolute joy to work with. She brought great energy and made us feel like superstars. She helped us to relax and have fun with our photography sessions, which was much appreciated as nerves were running high! She and our second photographer Sam were a solid team. We were soo thrilled with how our photos turned out -- they are really stunning and instantly bring us back to our magical love-filled day!!! Sara worked with us patiently to perfect some of the images we wished to have printed, and we are now eagerly waiting for our prints to arrive! THANK YOU SO MUCH ONELOVE PHOTOGRAPHY for a truly exceptional experience!!! You so beautifully captured our wedding day in these photos, which we will certainly treasure for many years to come!

OneLove shot our wedding weekend as well as our engagement photos and I could not ask for a better, more professional team!! They were extremely organized, professional, receptive and had excellent communication throughout the entire process. They matched us with photographers that were familiar with some of the ceremonies we were doing (we had an Indian fusion wedding), and made sure that they understood every aspect of the weekend we wanted captured. They showed up on time, had the most positive energy, and really made our day amazing. As a bride, the OneLove team really made my day so easy and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a really incredible photography team! Thank you OneLove!

We cannot speak more highly of the OneLove photography. Sara are her team are wonderful to work with. They are extremely organized and quick to respond to our questions and concerns. They even have a photography coordinator Anna, who helped us plan out our wedding day. Our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding was Johnny. My husband and I both feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and Johnny made us feel relaxed and at ease which allowed us to capture some really great photos! On our wedding day both him and Anne were very attentive to how we were feeling and made adjustments as necessary. All of our photos were delivered in a timely manner and were extremely pleased with all of the edited photos we received! 

We loved working with Sara and our lead photographer Rachael! We really liked talking to Sara during our first zoom call and felt a connection to her and Onelove's overall vision. To me, hiring the right photographer was the most important part of the wedding planning process. Their portfolio had amazing photos and Rachael didn't disappoint! Anna, our Photography Coordinator, sent us forms to fill out ahead of time and she then created a photography brief, which included all of the shots we wanted, making the family portraits go quickly and smoothly. They were good about calling and checking-in right before the wedding to make sure they brought our vision to life. Rachael and Jenny were fun to work with during our first look photo shoot, which we had off sight prior to our ceremony. They let us be natural but they also made suggestions for various poses, which we appreciated. They worked well together and captured the whole day beautifully and before they left the reception, they checked in to see if we wanted any last photos. We couldn't wait to see the photos they took and loved looking at our sneak peak photos a few weeks later! So fun to get a taste of our first look. Then we got the email saying that all of our photos were ready!! (which arrived ahead of the expected timeline, which was most likely a perk to getting married in the off season!) They were amazing! We are so happy with how they came out!

We’re writing this after having seen a sneak peek of some of our wedding photos, which were absolutely stunning. One Love Photography (owner Sara, as well as our photography team of Ariel and Jenny) was truly a dream come true. They worked with us every step of the way to make sure we got the shots we wanted, and they also surprised us with some gorgeous photos we didn’t expect. Both Ariel and Jenny who were taking photos on the day were incredibly friendly and warm - they made us, as well as our guests, feel so comfortable and at ease. We cannot thank them enough for capturing our special day!

Honestly, where do I start?! I am obsessed with all our photos we have received so far from Onelove. Shannon was our photographer for our engagement shoot in October 2020 in Half Moon Bay and also did our wedding in July 2022 in Woodside. Shannon is one of the warmest and fun people you'll meet and we felt relaxed with her guiding us throughout both the engagement shoot and wedding day! Shannons second shooter for our wedding was Audey who was also an absolute pleasure to be around on the wedding day. We are waiting on our full wedding album, but I know it's going to be absolutely stunning. I chose Onelove because I loved their style, light and airy, but true colors and looks like a better version of real life. Working with them was easy, communication was so thorough and they had great recommendations. I was so grateful that Louisa built out a whole schedule for our day and worked with me to tweak it a bit. It helped to have every vendor slot in around the photo schedule so we were never rushed throughout the day. I also love that when they deliver the album (or sneak peaks!) you can share the link right away with family and friends and you can download everything to Google cloud which is my preferred photo service. Makes everything SO easy for sharing and you bet my instagram is packed with Onelove photos right now! I loved how easygoing Shannon was. I trusted her fully and let her use her creativity for poses and if I had a suggestion she would listen and adjust. I don't think she ever made us do serious faces because I literally can't not smile in a photo haha! Thank you Sara, Louisa, Shannon and Audey! I hope we get to hire you again soon!!

My husband and I have worked with One Love 3 times now, most recently when they photographed our rescheduled wedding on 9/19/21, and every time they have done an amazing job! We worked with Mindy during our engagement shoot and for our “mini-mony” and although we missed her for our big wedding, Jessica and John still did a great job! They were very efficient to capture all of the things that we requested as a must shoot and then some. They captured some really beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. They also worked well with our videographers who were from another company and all vibed well together/provided great direction. Sara does all the editing and has always turned our photos into something amazing including our big wedding. The pictures are clear and vibrant and I love that she adds a few black & white options for some of the best photos throughout our day. The whole team was so easy to work with, especially when we had to reschedule our bigger wedding; Louisa was a big help. All in all, they are a great team from front of house to back of house and I look forward to working with them again in the future!

The onelove team was by far the most organized vendor we worked with throughout the wedding process. Sara and Louisa were extremely responsive throughout the planning process and collect details ahead of the day so you know you will get the shots you want. Michelle was our lead photographer and her personality made the day. We felt at ease taking photos which resulted in natural shots - exactly what we were hoping for! We just received our preview and can't wait to see the full album!

We got married in late July but initially started working with OneLove/ Sara in fall of 2019 for our engagement shoot. We had some fog related issues that were out of our control with this shoot and Sara offered an additional session for us to capture our engagement photos. This was such a nice gesture. Then, we had to postpone our wedding because of the pandemic and were assigned a new photographer so we did another photo shoot which was so great to be able to meet our new photographer before our actual wedding. On wedding day both the main shooter and second shooter were so great to work with. They were very attentive and handled the group well. One minor issue was it was a bit chaotic right after the ceremony but that’s expected given how weddings and families can be. It would have been nice to have a more assertive person in charge to herd all of the people for photos. Overall, both Sara & our photographer were so sweet and delivered hundreds more photos than we were promised and they turned out amazing!

We decided on OneLove Photography because of the gorgeous photos taken at two different friends’ weddings. Sara provided us with lots of photo examples and we decided on a package including engagement and wedding photos. Sara paired us up with Keana who was the photographer local to Santa Cruz. Louisa made the coordination effortless and was always quick to respond to our questions. Keana’s engagement and wedding photos beautifully captured every emotion we were feeling. She made things feel so natural and relaxed. We can’t wait to get our curated wedding album which will be a lifelong keepsake.

Wedding photos last a lifetime, and my husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer than Nicole with One Love Photography. Sara, the owner, matches each couple with their ideal photographer. Nicole was, without question, absolutely the best. She was kind, genuine, organized, and helpful - everything we were looking for. But she was also really fun to share our wedding day with, the exact type of person we would enjoy hanging out with in any other circumstance. We had such a good time joking and chatting. Nicole made the photography sections of our wedding feel like a natural extension of the rest of our plans for the evening and she also ensured that all of the photos we hoped to capture were prioritized. She helped to bring out my husband and I's individuality as a couple in a way that was easy going and natural. And the final editing our photos - just wow. It is impossible to pick favorite photos because they are all so perfect. I cannot say enough amazing things about her... we couldn't have asked for anyone better! We also worked with Sara and Louisa at One Love with logistical planning. They were also wonderful to work with and were willing to adjust their schedules to accommodate random changes to the plan. We wanted to take the majority of our photos before the ceremony because our wedding was so small. This added an extra level of complexity, and we weren't sure which location would be best for the photos because we weren't from the area. Sara and Louisa helped to make suggestions for both the location and the timeline for the photos, which would not have happened without their help. All in all, if you're looking for a dream photographer for your dream wedding, OneLove is the choice for you!

I LOVED working with One Love Photography! As a wedding planner for over 20 years I am very particular about who I recommned because team work on the wedding day is what makes it magic. I would highly suggest you check them out and start a conversation with about capturing images for your momentous day. Happy Planning, Diana Ross Celebrations by Di & Co.

Look up “amazing” in the dictionary and you’ll see Sara and her team. I had the best luck in finding OneLove to capture our love in our engagement photos and on our wedding day! Sara was so prompt and we instantly loved her- professional, kind, and so personable! Louisa kept us prepared and on track every step of the way- I beyond appreciated this as wedding planning can get a wee bit hectic. Jenn was our engagement photographer and traipsing around Venice with her was like hanging out with a best friend and we had the perfect mix of romance and fun in our photos. FF to shortly before the wedding and an untimely emergency kept Jenn from being able to shoot our wedding. Sara was ON IT and considering I had a few other last minute issues crop up with other vendors her promptness and professionalism was everything I needed at that moment. Ariel took the reins as head photographer and Lily was a wonderful second! Everyone loved them and commented how seamless they blended into the party (which is pretty hard to do when carrying a camera around) Our photos were even more than we were hoping for and I cannot recommend them enough! Sara ensured I was pleased with all of our edits and not many studios are as accommodating. We love OneLove and were lucky enough to shoot a mini session recently for our upcoming anniversary. You will not be disappointed with choosing OneLove to capture your love.

• OneLove was a great vendor to work with! Sara was extremely professional and helpful during our intro call and throughout the process, OneLove had smooth operations and good customer facing people who are in between the couple and the photographer. The questionnaire that they sent felt more personal and when we met our photographer for engagement shoot, it was clear that he had read it and it was helpful in getting us to know him better and to feel more relaxed around him. Louisa was great at coordinating logistics with us and making updates to the photo list and the day of plan. It was nice to have someone whose focus is just to help organize things and she would also sent nice reminders if we were ever late on anything. Jeremy was our photographer and felt like we clicked with him early on. My husband and I don’t ever take lots of coordinated couple pictures and weren’t particularly comfortable at first at our engagement shoot but Jeremy definitely put us at ease. Your wedding photographer is the person that you’ll spend the most time with on the big day and we both enjoyed spending time with Jeremy. For the day of, everything went smoothly and Jeremy and Danya were both fun and professional. We felt directed and neither of them felt overbearing and gave the right amount of instruction. The only small hiccup was during family photos where there was some confusion over where they were going to be taken and there was some difficulty getting all the permutations. It was not a huge deal as we know that it’s extremely hard to coordinate big family photos. The final photos we received are absolutely stunning and we know we’ll happily look back at those photos for years to come!

Sara and her team at Onelove were so easy to work with! The business is run very professionally but the experience still remained personal. Emily and Jessica did an amazing job capturing the feel and energy of our wedding. They were familiar and comfortable with our venue (Olympia’s Valley Estate) and made great suggestions for photo settings based on getting the best lighting. We love how all of our pictures turned out. The hardest part was waiting for them after the wedding! If you’re looking for quality, consistency and a responsive team to capture your memories you will love Onelove.

This is a long overdue review in that my wedding was about a year and a half ago. Even still, I've continued to get the most amazing and professional service from Sara and her team! I was referred to onelove photography by my sister, who had booked them for her wedding 8 months before mine. When she decided to do a destination wedding instead of in SF, Sara and her team made it really easy to transfer my sister's date and deposit to us. When there was a miscommunication about our wedding date that was discovered later than we all would've preferred, they were able to move things around to make sure we were taken care of on our wedding day by our photographer, Keena. Their team was flexible, helped us walk through our entire day with their quesionnaire/planning stages and on the day of, willing to go with the flow and adjust to little things that came up. The photos all came out BEAUTIFULLY and they were able to capture every moment without being intrusive or overwhelming (especially cause I hate getting my photo taken). As if that experience and the gorgeous final photographs weren't enough, I had the misfortune of my computer crashing and losing the entire folder of our photos WELL over year after our big day. Don't ask why they weren't backed up – they sure are now! Sara was able to quickly send another download link to our photos and saved me the heartbreak and pain of having to tell my husband that they were gone! I've heard from other friends that their wedding photographer wiped their hard drives a certain number of months after delivery. Not the case here, and I am SO SO SO grateful for them for not only giving us beautiful photos to remember our big day, but saving my ass when I nearly lost them all. Love you, Sara & crew!!

I loved working with OneLove! Sara was super organized start to finish. Her customer service was on point and made me feel I was her only customer. ;) The day of the wedding was managed by Jennifer and we just loved her. My husband and I were a little nervous about taking pics and she made us feel incredibly natural and comfortable and the pics turned out BEAUTIFUL! She made the process fun and directed us well. Five stars across the board. If you’re on the hunt for the perfect wedding photographer, hunt no more! OneLove is the way to go.

Pictures turned out amazing. Team was communicative. Organization, delivery, and download of photos was easy. Very well done overall.

Easy to work with, very professional and organized, and our photographers made us very comfortable. They took high quality photos that really captured our personalities.

We used onelove photography for our August 2018 wedding at Nella Terra Cellars in Sunol, CA. Our photographer was Keana with Curtis as the second shooter. We also had an engagement shoot with Keana in San Francisco a few months prior to the wedding. What we loved most about Keana and Curtis was their super chill vibe. Weddings are a lot. There's so much heightened emotion and rigid schedules to ensure everything goes off just right. My husband and I found ourselves so relaxed when we were shuffled off to do sunset photos or other pictures with Keana and Curtis. It was a little escape and chance to breathe that we didn't know we needed. They shot natural, candid shots and captured us just being ourselves. Sara's editing on all the photos was also breathtaking. It was simple and easy to work with her and her office coordinator beforehand. Their communication was always clear and prompt. Our only qualm was that almost all of bridesmaids have hair in their face in our 1:1 bride/bridesmaid pictures. I wish Keana would've suggested we move to a different location with less wind. Our venue did have strict rules around how much time we could have there before the wedding, which led to our pre-ceremony photos being quite rushed. I'm sure she would've been more attentive to this if we'd had more time. We're so grateful to Sara, Keana and Curtis for creating a collection of beautiful images that will help us relive this magical day for a lifetime to come!

We had already decided on Onelove prior to setting a wedding date/venue. We didn't even look into other photographers! Sara was awesome to work with. She put us at ease and got to know us and what we wanted out of our wedding day. Sara and everyone on her team have great communication and are super organized! Lindsey & Zoey shot our wedding in October and we love them dearly! They were so sweet and so fun. My husband and I are awkward when it comes to taking photos but Lindsey totally put us at ease and made us look great. Our friends and family adored her. She was all good vibes all day and night. We lucked out on an amazing team and couldn't have been happier with our wedding day. It is such an honor to be able to look back at their beautiful photos to relive the day. Thank you to the Onelove fam for contributing to one of the best days of our lives!

We selected onelove for several reasons- but one being that we live in southern CA and got married in northern CA. We were able to get our engagement photos in Los Angeles without additional cost for travel for the photographer. In comparing prices for different photographers, onelove was the most reasonable with still amazing quality. Sarah and her team were phenomenal. They were very professional and easy to work with. We had conference calls prior to our shoots which made everything run smoothly. I cannot wait to see and share the photos from the wedding!

5 Stars with no hesitation! There's no reason to look anywhere else. Sara and her team are without a doubt incredible. They are such wonderful people to work with and the best part is their work is outstanding and just amazing. I would highly recommend OneLove for your event and I can promise you that your pictures will be everything you hoped for.

I was so impressed with onelove photography's work from my cousin's wedding that I ended up booking them for my own wedding earlier this year. I had the pleasure of working with Jessica! I had an emergency the night before our engagement shoot and frantically called Jessica and Carrie telling them that I couldn't make it and they were able to reschedule. Jessica was also the photographer for our wedding. We were so pleased with her work at our engagement shoot that we are impatiently waiting for our wedding pictures! We can't wait! We also ordered the photo album from seeing our cousin's. There's a HUGE difference in the quality of the photos, binding, pages, and color. Don't skimp on the album! My other cousin already booked onelove photography for their wedding next year. I highly recommend them!

I haven't gotten my photos yet but they were SO AWESOME to work with during the day of, and so professional. Sara (owner) is fantastic!!!

I fell in love with onelove's work before even getting engaged. So it goes without saying, once we booked our wedding venue onelove was the first vendor we booked and it was the best decision we made! From our first teleconference call with Sara to emails after emails with Carrie to our engagement shoot session to one unforgettable wedding with JessicaP and Nigel, they were by far the best team to work with. It's been a month since we tied the knot and we have received our sample photos, which we can't stop looking over, heart eyes every time. Now we patiently and anxiously wait for the completion of the rest of the collection. Thank you onelove team, especially JessicaP and Nigel for doing such a fantastic job and making our day that much more memorable! Our entire wedding entourage raved about how great it was to have such an easy going set of photographers to work with. Like most Brides, I miss our wedding day but I get a chance to relive it through our beautiful photos.

Sara is absolutely wonderful. She is responsive, highly accessible, and her business is extremely professional. She and her team will spend whatever time it takes to work with you to generate exactly the final product that you want. We worked with Sara for our wedding photos. Throughout wedding planning, her team checked in with us nearly every week. They put us at ease, and made us feel completely relaxed during a wedding planning process that can otherwise be somewhat nerve-wracking. In the end, we were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. I would recommend Sara to anyone!

Onelove Photography was great to work with. My favorite thing about their working style is how incredibly organized they are. They not only created a photography specific timeline for the big day, but they also ensured it coincided with the overall timeline and they ensured that we stayed on track the day of the wedding. As a bride I couldn’t be more satisfied with their organization. The wedding day can be incredibly busy for the bride and the groom, but working with a vendor like Onelove Photography allowed us to slow down and enjoy the day. I couldn’t be more grateful! We hired Onelove Photography to shoot our engagement session, my bridal shower, our civil ceremony and our wedding. Onelove invested a good amount of time in getting to know us as a couple, the vision of our wedding and the look we had in mind. The personal attention Sara, Jessica and Cara gave us was fantastic and the end product couldn’t have been more beautiful! What we enjoyed most about their work was their ability to capture the details of our event as well as those beautiful candid moments that evoke so many emotions. Their work was so fantastic that our engagement shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty and our wedding was featured on 3 wedding blogs: Style Me Pretty, MOD Wedding and The Knot!! See our features linked below.

Not only was their work and service great but every photographer has a fantastic personality that makes working with them really easy and enjoyable. Thank you Onelove for your personalized services!

We love love love our wedding pictures and can't thank Sara, Carrie & Joanna enough! They were fun and energetic on our wedding day; and made the whole process enjoyable! They went with our flow, but kept us in line with the timeline. We loved them and highly recommend them!

We absolutely loved working with Onelove! Our photographer, Molly, was excellent. She made us feel comfortable and captured perfect moments without getting in the way. We've received a preview of our pictures and they are phenomenal!

Sara is the honestly the best wedding photographer I have ever seen. Her work is incredible and she makes you feel very comfortable which creates very real photos. She not only really understands photography and is incredibly creative, but she really understands people. She knows that people who are uncomfortable or bored or hot aren't going to look that great in photos and she works to make everything perfect in the actual shoot in order to capture amazing pictures. She also has such a great eye for unique photos and gets a good sense of who you are to take photos that reflect that. I couldn't recommend her more.

We used onelove for our engagement and wedding photos. Our photographer was Margaret and she was amazing. Her ideas for our engagement photos turned out great. She was super easy to work with and all our photos turned out really well. She also photographed our wedding and those photos blew our minds. The quality was amazing and every photo looked magazine worthy. We could not be happier with our choice to go with onelove.

Not only does OneLove have AMAZING photographers in their roster, they are also super organized. It was one less thing I needed to worry about!

Quality wedding photos were on our "must-have" list when planning and we budgeted accordingly. When I stumbled upon Onelove Photo via a wedding blog, I fell in love! Sara Allen was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and our photographer, Jessica, was just amazing! Jessica shot our engagement photos and wedding photos, and we couldn't be more pleased. We have received so much positive feedback from family and friends (including friends who are also photographers) about the quality of our photos! I would highly recommend this vendor to any couple!

I've only seen a sample of photos so far, but they look great!

Sara Allen is a creative genius. She is eager to hear your wedding vision and she does an excellent job of enhancing that vision with her creativity. I was very happy that she was punctual with emails, phone calls and with the picture delivery. Sara not only delivered photos that captured the whole story of the wedding day, but the quality was stunning! I fully recommend her!
