All of our photos are awesome. Sam took some really beautiful outdoor photos and very classic ones at the church. I also love the candid photos of us just enjoying ourselves on our day. Sam was there every time we needed him and virtually invisible when we were just enjoying the events of the day. He was taking great photos the whole time capturing the day as it unfolded. The family photos we had taken at the church were great as well. Sam was very patient and worked hard to entertain a not so happy flower girl to get the shots. Sam is very friendly and personable. He was great when working with our families. He helped everyone know where to be for a great shot without being pushy. He was open to input about shots we wanted taken and if we weren't comfortable he didn't press the issue. We purchased both engagement and wedding photos with our package. We received DVDs and copyright releases for the photos. We also worked with Sam and created a beautiful wedding album.

I could not have been happier with Sam for my engagement and wedding photographer. Anytime I had a question, Sam had a response back to me within a half a day. Sam was so flexibile and truely made my day the best it could have been. I would recommend Sam over and over again to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. I fully intend on using his services for my future photography needs!

There are so many wonderful photos we ended up with after our wedding.
After we had taken family and wedding party pictures (prior to the ceremony) I barely noticed him. However, there were still numerous candids of my husband and me and of the wedding party and family. I am glad to have these. Sam captured the ceremony itself very well. He kept out of the way but we still have these great shots of each part of the ceremony including the dove release.
Sam provided us with a cd holding all our engagement pictures. We will be getting a CD with all of our wedding photos here shortly and are currently working with him to create an album. From what I have seen from other wedding albums he has put together I know ours will be great. Also, Sam designed our wedding invitation. I have received numerous compliments on the invitation and I am always being asked who took our photos.
Sam is very easy to work with. He is very professional while at the same time very easy going. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely pick Sam as our photographer. He is hard working and puts much effort into making his clients happy.

Sam was amazing! He took our wedding pictures and was very helpful. We had some problems with our first photographer, so Sam was flexible in helping us out last minute getting our engagement pictures done in time and getting our wedding photos to look amazing!

Sam was wonderful. He was a lot of fun to work with and he didn't just do traditional portraits which is what I wanted in a photographer. Sam also let us have our input. He took a lot of pictures then gave us 3 CDs with all the pictures and they turned out great. I would definetly suggest Sam if you are looking for a photographer!!

Sam was a fantastic guy! He was very flexible with us, as well as getting our pictures posted online quickly. Even though the session for our engagement photos doubled (yikes!), by accident of course, he handled it with grace and had nothing but increasing energy with us. He also did a little extra homework and found a new site to shoot by for our engagement photos (see picture with "Love" graffiti).
On the day of our wedding, he was quick and very efficient. For all the shots we got, you would never had quessed we did most of them in 2 hours! Sam was so polite and gracious on the day of, and his personality makes you feel like you have a gentle, big brother looking out for the cherished memories being captured.
Book him while you can :)

Sam was wonderful to have as our wedding photographer! He was sensitive to what my husband and I wanted, he came to town early the night before our rehearsal to map out locations and shots that he wanted to get, he had towels for us to sit on and wasn't afraid of getting dirty himself (for the sake of getting a good shot), and he was serious about what he was doing, yet able to joke around and have fun at the same time! Overall, he was a huge blessing for us, and he has my highest recommendation!

I recently got married and Sam did a great job to capture the many emotions and special moments of our day. The photos are awesome with many choices and done very professionally. He is affordable and provides a very personable working relationship. He responded to my questions very quickly and helped to coordinate who needed to take pictures when and where. I would recommend using Sam Swartz Photography to capture any of the very special moments in your life that you don't want to miss. We have many poses to choose from and are very excited and can't wait to get them printed. We will treasure these memorable pictures of this very special day for a very long time!
