Services
Would you like to be part of the select group of 15 fun weddings I photograph every year?. These are the 3 main characteristics of my services. My hope is that your wedding creates the happiest memories for you, but also, that the love of your wedding day can ignite social change so 50 years down the road when you think about your wedding you can be certain that not only was a happy day for you but it also made someone's day.
The area I have chosen has parking, is handicap accessible, with different levels of walking available, and restrooms on site. The mini sessions are rain or shine and limited to groups of up to 6 people and up to 2 pets (because for more people or pets I need more time). The other half must be paid the day of the session vias cash or invoice.
Money, money, money. Your wedding is super important, and I want it to be a reflection of who you are, this is why I can't make you fit into a package. Each couple is unique, each wedding is different and has different needs, so every couple deserves a custom experience. Through talking, we'll find the best way to align what you need with your budget.
I deeply believe that the wedding industry has the ability to change the world. If you spend your money wisely, it can make a huge difference, so I have created a list of wedding industry suppliers for you. The easiest way to make a difference is by supporting minorities or supporting women owned businesses (ahem, like THIS ONE!), so all the businesses highlighted below are women or minority owned (or both), and off course, LGBTQ+ friendly.
In this gallery you will be able to view images, make folder with favorites, share images to social media, purchase professional prints, and have them delivered straight to your doorstep. Be aware that at Sandrachile, we value and support the work of artisans and we prefer the more slow method for over automated process.

From start to finish working with Sandra was an amazing experience. Sandra is not only super creative and fun to work with, she is also professional, open to working with your vision and realistic about delivering on your ideas and offers incredible inspiration. When working with a photographer to document the memories of important moments wether it is a wedding, elopement, engagement, new baby, or just a moment in time can feel overwhelming to create a vision you have in mind. Sandra makes the entire experience so fun and enjoyable you forget the camera is even there. Our experience working with

It's impossible to put into words who Sandra is and she doesn't need to be defined by us - she defines herself. And that is something I respect and admire so much. But I can tell you that working with Sandra, I felt totally comfortable in my skin, beautiful, and at ease. This allowed me to remain present in every second of my wedding day and proceed with genuine intention. I can also tell you that Sandra works HARD. She is incredibly organized and she gets things done. She was also there for me throughout my day, going above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed (even sewing up my dress that

Sandra is an amazing, personable photographer who makes beautiful art, but she also gave us so much support as we planned our wedding day, including feedback on questions we had about timing and flow. We wanted photos that showed us having FUN with our families and friends, and Sandra was able to capture so much personality and joy in every photo. She also worked with us through Covid lockdown and generously rescheduled to the following year. I first heard about Sandra because of her service work distributing excess food to the unhoused in Pittsburgh, and she helped coordinate this at our own wedding

While her photos are beautiful, Sandras work ethic and professionalism are lacking. We hired her to do our engagement photos and to shoot our wedding on 10/19/19. Per the contract she had 10 weeks to deliver our photos. We never got any sneak peek other than what she posted to her business Instagram. Here are the reasons why we do not recommend that anyone hire her for their wedding day or any other event.
1) She lost 50% of our photos. We have none of the portraits with Nicole's family, and only a few photos of the ceremony. She claimed that she was rushing to finish, did not backup her work

Sandra is the total experience a loving couple should have to capture the incredible moments shared in their own love story. From the engagement to the final product, Sandra's keen eye and emotional intelligence created the most memorable experience for our entire family! Thank you Sandra!! We love you!!

We hired Sandra to take our wedding pictures and we were not disappointed! She was one of the greatest investments that we made for the wedding. Throughout the entire wedding process she was constantly sending me thoughtful cards and packages. She even included our engagement pictures in the cost of the wedding photography! I would recommend Sandra to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She was extremely easy to work with and was able to go with the flow when things got a little hectic at the wedding. The one thing I love the most about the pictures she takes is that she is telling a story
