Meet Saydie

Hey friends, I’m Saydie!

I believe God is in the details—the hand squeeze, the wind in your hair, the unspoken “I love you” between glances. Photography, for me, is an act of worship—documenting what He’s written between two hearts. I’m not just a photographer. I’m a storyteller, a moment-keeper, and a seeker of sacred moments. My work is rooted in the belief that love is a divine gift worth documenting truthfully and tenderly.


Seeking God in everything, everywhere.

What I Capture

People. Love. light.

This isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles. It’s about you—completely at ease, fully yourselves, chasing sunsets and sharing laughs. I’m here to photograph your story in a way that feels adventurous, romantic, and beautifully real.

From proposals to engagements, from intimate elopements to the quiet magic of everyday life — I capture the honest moments: carefree, unrushed, and often unseen. One day, these memories will become stories told around dinner tables and tucked into treasured photo albums.

    V.O

  • "Had so much fun during our photo session! Not only did Saydie have good ideas and vision, but Saydie was also well organized and efficient, yet personal. She made taking headshots less awkward and captured natural smiles (at times inducing laughter w/ her epic dance moves). Was amazed by how quickly she edited the images and pleased with the results. Thanks, Saydie!"
