You Want to Be Fully Present. You Also Want Photos That Bring It All Back.
Let’s be real—your wedding isn’t just about the photos. It’s about your experience. You want a day that feels effortlessly fun, meaningful, and uniquely YOU—without spending the whole time worrying about posing or missing out on the party.
But you also know that once the day is over, the only thing left will be the memories—and the photos that bring them back to life.
That’s why I do things differently:
No stiff poses or fake smiles – Just the real, raw moments as they naturally unfold.
A custom-built timeline – So you never feel rushed or pulled away from what matters most.
An energy-centered approach – I bring a calm, fun presence so you feel fully at ease.
True-to-life storytelling – Every image tells the story of your day exactly as it happened.
Because when you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to FEEL it all over again.
“Sara’s energy was calming and joyful and added to the day.”
Working with her felt so organized and thought out, yet spontaneous and fun at the same time. I'm amazed at how she managed to capture so many incredible moments without us even realizing it. She really captured the essence of our event and who we are as a couple so effortlessly.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Hey, I’m Sara Monika!
I’m not just here to take beautiful photos—I’m here to make sure you feel fully present, at ease, and free to enjoy every moment of your wedding day.
With 13 years of experience, 350+ weddings, and an intuitive ability to read energy and emotion, I know exactly how to document your love story in a way that feels real, raw, and deeply personal.
Fun Facts About Me:
I believe weddings should feel like a wild, joyful celebration—not a photoshoot.
I’m obsessed with capturing the tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it moments - the teary hugs, the wild dance moves, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not looking.
I thrive on adventure—if your wedding involves a boat, a mountaintop, or a spontaneous late-night swim, I’m ALL IN.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will let you be completely yourself while capturing every meaningful moment, we might just be the perfect fit. 💛
