Met with Samantha at our venue Hammersky to go over ideas and what she could do for our wedding

Samantha was very flexible to come out of her way to meet us at the venue on such short notice. She was very professional and had great ideas for our wedding design. She seemed very interested to cater to my needs, wants or likes about the design or ambiance I wanted for our wedding. Look forward to working with her and her team.

*Simply the Best*

Where do I begin in telling you how amazing Samantha is and just how much she contributed in making one of the most important days of our life as dreamy as a bride and groom could hope for? My (now) husband and I had the great fortune of finding Samantha on our preferred vendor list from our wedding venue (the equally amazing Dana Powers House). Although Samantha was the first photographer we met with, we both knew from the moment we met her that she was ‘the one’ and that we didn’t need to look any further :)

From her instant warmth and genuinely attentive charm, Samantha just seemed to ‘get’ us. If, like us, you’ve ever wondered how a wedding photographer manages to perfectly capture couples in moments of laughter and make them look incredibly gorgeous, then look no further! Samantha’s magical ability to capture truly authentic and not posed moments is exactly what we were looking for.

As if her exceptional photography skills aren’t enough, Samantha just so happens to offer wedding coordinating services which we also highly recommend her for. While it might not seem possible for someone to pull off both of these HUGE responsibilities simultaneously, Samantha (with the help of her small but mighty and talented team) flawlessly executed both with carefree grace, confidence, and a massive smile on her face.

Throughout our entire wedding planning process, Samantha made us feel valued, heard, and like we were the only clients she was working with (even though we knew she was super busy helping other busy brides and grooms). Samantha not only reminded us to relax and enjoy our wedding day without worry because you can’t redo it, she quickly and quietly dealt with a couple of unforeseen issues that could have caused us a great deal of stress but didn’t, because we knew were were in her very capable hands.

We can’t speak highly enough about Samantha’s talent, expertise, professionalism, and truly infectious personality! She is a treasure and we were simply thrilled with her services as well as the end product. We already want to renew our vows so we can do it all over again!

Thank you Samantha!

With lots of love,

Rachael & Charles

Nothing Short of a Amazing!

We hired Samantha to coordinate and photograph our wedding and I am so happy that we did! She is absolutely amazing! Not only did she make our wedding day magical and everything that we had hoped for it to be, she was a dream to work with. She has such a calm demeanor but really gets the job done. There is a comfort about her that makes you feel like you are working with your best friend, which is such a perk when planning your wedding. She dealt with any last minute changes that I made, and never made me feel like she I was asking too much. We haven't received the final photos yet but the sneak peek photos were gorgeous! If you are considering Samantha as your planner, do yourself a favor and hire her!
