Wedding photographer

Sam was the absolute best! He went above and beyond what we hired him for, he was the life of the party! He made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed and made sure that our time line was followed through. With his fun and charming personality not to mention talent you won't be disappointed!

Professionalism meets fun, exciting, and talented

Sam was hands down the best. He knew how to get people into their best position and how to get them to come out of their shell. Will came to help him and he was equally as talented and helpful. Guests loved his personality as well and he has the most elegant of photos! Thanks again for assisting us on our big day!!

Best Photographer ever!

Sam is an incredible photographer with amazing talent. We hired him to shoot our wedding and I am so glad we did. He is personable and easy to work with and our families loved him. He brought great energy and had us laughing and smiling throughout all of our pictures! We got our pictures back this week and my husband and I are so happy with the results. He captured every single moment, things I would have never even thought of, and every moment is captured beautifully. He really used all the venue had to offer and turned it into magical pictures. Each picture is different and more beautiful than the next. They are more than just your ordinary wedding photos, they are artistic and elegant and completely captured our story. I couldn’t have asked for more amazing pictures! Thank you so much for telling our story and giving us such beautiful memories!

Wonderful service!

Working with Sam thus far has been wonderful! He is always very responsive, and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. Being a bride that lives out of state from where I am getting married has been difficult at times, but Sam has made it so easy!

One of a kind Photographer

My Husband and I chose Sam to be our photographer for our wedding and he exceeded our expectations greatly. Not only did his pictures come out amazing, but he made our day special. He loves his work and brought an incredible amount of enthusiasm to the table, which effected everyone else involved in our wedding in a positive way. He stayed with me for the entire day and made sure not to miss any important moments.

Anytime I had a concern or a question for him, I always got an answer within a couple of hours, which really meant a lot to us. His final product, our wedding album, was nothing short of a masterpiece. He was with us for 13 hours and truly did not miss a moment. If pictures and memories mean a lot to you and your significant other, Sam Rodriguez is the best candidate to be your wedding photographer.

Thanks again Sam!

Sam is an excellent photographer and a wonderful person! We were so thrilled to have Sam photograph our wedding. We knew that we wanted Sam after meeting him at a bridal show and seeing his beautiful work. Sam was our guide throughout our entire day – the WHOLE day. He was with us bright and early at the salon and stayed through to the very last song. Sam was so much fun to be with all day. He knew all the spots he wanted to shoot and was amazing at making sure we got photos at all the places we wanted (including a photo on the couch at Johnny’s Bagels on Main Street Bethlehem). Sam is so creative that any posed shots felt natural Sam’s calming and positive energy was greatly appreciated by all of us, and he blended right into the party.

We received so many compliments after our wedding about the “dancing photographer”, who kept our party going and captured so many amazing moments throughout our day. We cannot wait to see all the beautiful photos (our preview photo was STUNNING!!!) and our album-they will be treasured for years to come and it’s all thanks to Sam!

I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the service we receive from Sam on our wedding day! I have wanted Sam as our photographer since I first saw his photos years ago, and it was a dream come true to work with him! He did our engagement photos which were gorgeous and I am so excited to see all the great photos he got on our big day! He came early to capture some getting ready moments and stayed late to ensure nothing was missed. You cannot go wrong with SR Wedding Story... on the most important day of your life, make sure you have the best photographer— Sam!! Thank you again for everything you did to make sure we got tons of great pictures!! Worth every. single. penny!!! See the one AMAZING shot we have so far in front of our fireworks!!!

Sam is an amazing photographer! We had both Sam and his colleque at our wedding. My husband and I met Sam at my twin sister's wedding. My sister had been talking to a few photographers and fell in love with Sam's demeanor and portfolio. My "boyfriend" at the time was in her wedding. That day, I joked with Sam about how I was ready to get married. He kept telling me the time would happen. Later that night, during the bouquet toss, Sam captured photos of us getting engaged (he knew this was happening). Two years later, Sam captured photos of us getting married on our big day. My husband was not into wedding planning. I asked him about vendors and he said he would take care of photography. When asking why he wanted to take photography, he quickly responded with "we are absolutely using Sam". I totally agreed. I had looked at other portfolios but kept coming back to Sam's work. I mean his work speaks for itself? It's amazing! In our head it was no choice! Besides the fact that Sam was there for our engagement. He took absolutely breathe taking pictures of my sister and her husband. He was fun to be around the whole night! That was something that was important to me. His work is top notch! He is outgoing, funny, and great at what he does! I only wish I could have Sam capture all the moments of my life! However, I know we will keep in touch. I can't wait to see the photos of our big day! I continue to recommend Sam to all brides.
