Sierra Mahelona Photography

We chose Sierra for our wedding because we loved her unique style, and we couldn't be happier with our decision.  From the very beginning, she was communicative and responsive, addressing all our questions and concerns promptly. On the day of the wedding, Sierra captured some beautiful and candid moments, but was also willing to stay longer than initially planned to ensure that every special moment was documented. Lastly, we were also absolutely thrilled because she shared her photos with us well ahead of the deadline she stipulated, and she was very willing to make edits as we suggested too. Overall,Sierra delivered a very professional and outstanding experience from start to finish. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and personable wedding photographer. We are so grateful for the memories she helped us preserve too!

My fiancé and I reached out to Sierra about potentially doing photography for our wedding. We agreed to do engagement photos previously to agreement of wedding photography. Sierra not only provided outfit, make up, accessories, and other amazing tips before the photo shoot, but also provided an amazing recommendation for a space. She stayed so consistent with communication and was so sweet and so easy to relate to! We were already so incredibly happy with our pics just based off of our communication. When we met up for the photo, shoot, Sierra immediately made us feel comfortable, at home, and super silly in order to give us amazing photos. We got the sneak peaks later that day and we’re absolutely blown away at the talent. She maintained throughout all the photos. During the photo shoot, she asked questions and gave us instructions that were easy to follow that created such acute and romantic feel. Sierra also asked us what we wanted , in terms of different poses if we had specific pictures, she looked at them and told us how to make them look amazing. She is such a sweet and kindhearted person and we absolutely cannot wait to have her shoot our wedding photos! 100% and will continue to provide references to my friends who may also be looking for photography. We do not wish to use another photographer ever. Seriously, we are not super familiar with photography, but we can tell that she is incredible at what she does, and so professional. If you are considering Sierra, please decide yes!

We booked Sierra for a mother/daughter photo shoot at Bush Park with my little girl, and I will always book Sierra for our family photos!!! Before our session, Sierra offered to look at any photos I found inspiring, and asked for me to share my expectations for what I was wanting. I loved that I could communicate how I wanted a beautiful summer garden photo shoot with flowers and sunlight, and didn't want to pose and stare at the camera, but wanted to naturally interact with my baby, and have her capture this special time between us. I brought pink peonies and a family heirloom lace blanket, and Sierra incorporated these small details in our photos. She is very chill and such a kind person and I look forward to making more memories with her as our family grows and she continues to grow her passion for photography. Totally recommend!!!

Sierra, Thank you for so many years of capturing our family perfectly! You make the whole process smooth and stress free. I love your positive energy and flexibility- you will forever be our family photographer (for as long as you’ll have us)!
