2 years married to the love of my life, Joshua you are the absolute man of my dreams🤍

HEY I’M SARAYA!🌞🌞🌞

I haven’t done an introduction in a while so I thought I’d say hi and tell you a few fun facts about me!

— my name is pronounced like “sa-raya-sunshine”🌞
— I’ve been photographing weddings now for over 10 years🤯
— I own two businesses and teach part time at the college I used to be a student at
— I met my husband skydiving through my cousin in North Carolina
— my husband and I have 7 dogs, i have a dachshund obsession apparently lol🤪
— white nail polish is my holy grail
— If I had to pick a last meal, it would be the biggest charcuterie board ever, the more cheese the better
— I am the oldest sibling of three
— I’ve been lucky enough to photograph weddings all over North America, Europe and at many tropical islands
— I loooveee ….need I say more LOL🫶🏼
— my favourite movie is ‘Letters to Juliet’
— when I was younger I wanted to be a creative writer
— I totally believe in horoscopes…I’m a Capricorn!🐐
—I’ve always loved ‘love’, the vulnerability of capturing two people in nostalgic moments. Capturing the invisible string that ties lovers together. There’s something about being an artist and a photographer that allows you to see the world, see people, a bit differently. Romanticizing the little moments and turning muses into art forever. In my head everything in a movie scene, and I want to capture that in stills to remember forever.

If you’re new here, hi I’m so glad to see you! And if you’re an OG who’s been hanging around from the beginning of this decade long journey, thank you. I’m so happy that you’re here following along on my journey of capturing artistic, cinematic, nostalgic love stories.🌞

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY GUS!!🥹🫶🏼

I love all my weens endlessly, but Gus has forever been the blueprint. My first baby, my soul dog.

You have filled my heart with so much love, happy birthday my sweet boy🤍

Hi! My name is Saraya🌞 Pronounced like “sa-raya-sunshine” as my mum would say!

I’m a huge dreamer, I love anything helplessly romantic and I have constantly lived in an artistic mind state since I was little. I’m a lover of everything drenched in sunlight and yellow is my favourite colour.

I believe in twin flames, I’m lucky enough to have one myself…his name is Joshua and we met in North Carolina. Together we have seven dogs, yes seven lol. Six wiener dogs, Gus, Penny, Ollie, Piglet, Pudge + Pickle - and a black lab Charlie! They are my everything.

I love people watching, I’m a huge empath, I have hope in humanity and try to see the good in everything and anything. I only ever wear white nail polish, idk why, it’s just my thing. When I was younger I wanted to become a writer, and Taylor Swift has been my favourite artist since I was 12.

I’ve always loved ‘love’, the vulnerability of capturing two people in nostalgic moments. Capturing the invisible string that ties lovers together.

I’m awestruck….Katey + Matt’s wedding day on digital and 35mm film 🎞️

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY PENNY!!!!🥹🤍

My little dobby the house elf, you have grown up to be such a funny girl. I love that your one ear always has a crinkle in it, your head always smells like warm clean laundry, I love that you always do jumping hoppy foots with your two front feet when you are excited, and it’s my favourite thing in the world when you rest your head on Gus’s back when you cuddle together in the window🥲

I love you with all my heart dobby, happy birthday🥹

Your photographer golden girl, on film🌞
