Sarah Jual Photography

The Editorial Take

Sarah Jual calls herself a ninja photographer, and the description holds up: her specialty is being everywhere on a wedding day without ever seeming to be anywhere, surfacing later with the moments nobody realized were witnessed, a dad tearing up, a stolen kiss during the reception. The voice is funny and warm, the galleries are candid-heavy, and she has been at it on Oahu for over a decade. She is also one of the more vocal photographers here about cultural responsibility, actively steering visiting couples toward respectful location choices and away from sacred sites, and offering local resources so destination weddings tread lightly. She suits couples who care most about honest, emotional coverage and a genuinely fun person to spend the day with, and visiting couples who want a photographer who will help them get Hawaii right.
