    Amazing photographers

    We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Bia and Jason for our wedding this August. Not only are Bia and Jason amazing photographers, but they are two of the kindest, most upbeat people. They went above and beyond to take the time to get to know my husband and I as well as our families and bridal party, and it showed in our pictures! Everyone felt comfortable and at ease during the entire process, which in turn led to the most beautiful photos. Bia and Jason were extremely accessible and communicative leading up to our wedding and were always happy to answer any questions we had. They are a true joy to work with, and we are forever grateful!

    Amazing experience!

    We had the great pleasure of working with Bia Sampaio during our wedding weekend. Aside from taking beautiful photos she also made us laugh and feel very comfortable. The photos Bia took are beautiful beyond what we could ever expect and they truly capture the happiness of our wedding weekend. We can not recommend her enough and we would love to work with her again.

    Best Photographer Duo

    My husband and I loved every minute of the process we worked with Bia and Jason. From our initial conversation, to reveling in the all the beautiful photos shot - candids to portraits. We couldn't be happier with this duo and have already recommended them to multiple newly engaged couples!

    Highly recommended Bia and Jason!!!

    I can’t recommend Bia and Jason enough! Besides being amazing people, they listened and executed our vision perfectly. They are very professional and walked us through each step of the process so we were prepared on our wedding day. They are such genuine and kind people who truly invest themselves in making your wedding day perfect. It ended up raining day of and they still managed to work with what they could and our photos turned out more amazing than we could have ever hoped! I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed!!

    Bia photographed my wedding on 12/5/15. From start to finish she was professional, accommodating, and overall a pleasure to work with. You can tell that Bia takes so much pride in her work and truly loves her job. I would highly recommend using Bia for any photography needs as she was beyond amazing to work with.

    Jason was a pleasure to work with - He directed and influenced the locations, photo setup, preliminary checklist prior to the wedding. He has the entire event under control. When the wedding started - he was invisible to guests - taking amazing photos and capturing every single moment. He talent for capturing different angle artistic shots is amazing. Thanks Jason for preserving this memory for us!

    My daughter was told about Bia by a friend. She did a great deal of online research and decided she was interested in having her as the wedding photographer. My daughter, her then fiancée, my husband and I all met with her. My daughter admired a veil worn by a bride in one of the pictures Bia showed us. Bia offered to contact the bride to find out where it was purchased. We walked away from this meeting impressed both with her beautiful work but also with her thoughtfulness. We knew we wanted to work with her. We were impressed that her package included engagement pictures so she could get to know the couple. She cheerfully worked with us before and during the event to be sure the pictures included everyone we cared about, a task not so easy because at every event of this type we take a family picture of approximately 50 people. Bia's pictures reflected the beauty and joy of the ceremony and the party. In addition Bia was exceptionally kind as she worked on the albums. My daughter and her husband moved out of the country right after the wedding and my husband was very ill. Bia was patient and unflappable as she worked with both long distance and erratically timed communications. After more than a year (our problems not Bia's), we have our albums. They are magnificent reminders of a very special day. We highly recommend her and her work.

    Truly the best. Not only is her photography sublime, but Bia is a truly irreplaceable partner. Our wedding day was not without its hiccups - and there were a lot - but throughout, Bia captured the special moments and helped to keep us calm. Whatever we needed on the wedding day - from making sure a server brought my husband food - to helping the event manager bring our cake onto the floor - Bia was on top of everything. She is truly invested in her couples, and you can feel her passion for you and her work, from the moment you meet until she delivers your files (and even after!) Following the wedding, my Mom told me she couldn't have imagined having anyone else but Bia being such an integral part of our big day.

    Bonus: Bia's packaging is beautiful and is just an example of her impeccable attention to detail.

    Bia lights up a room anywhere she goes. Her energy and vibrant personality is contagious! She is a true professional, and a brilliant photographer! Bia's photography does not go unnoticed my wedding photos were printed in both Brides Magazine, and New York Magazine which was an incredible honor. Bia is a beautiful person inside and out, she started as just our wedding photographer, but is now considered part of our family. You will never be disappointed with Bia Sampaio Photography! I am
    forever grateful for the forever memories Bia captured on my big day, and I can't express my gratitude enough that I get to be reminded of these special moments everyday with the beautiful album custom created for myself and my family. Bia thank you for loving what you do, the passion and drive you have for this art is truly idolizing.

    We were SO happy with our photos. Bia is beyond easy to be around on a very stressful day. She makes you feel comfortable which allows her to truly capture the happiness on your wedding day. Her pictures can't help but make you smile. Would highly recommend her!!

    We adore our finished wedding album and wanted to thank Bia ONE more time for capturing all of the wedding moments so beautifully and for making the whole process from the beginning, so easy and fun. Bia is such a pleasure to work with and really knows how to personalize each photo she takes. She makes you feel like old friend and it really shines through the photos. We will cherish our wedding album forever :) and really appreciate her vision and friendship!

    Bia and Jason were nothing short of fantastic. My bride and I approached several photographers for our wedding, and Bia was not only the most amiable and helpful, but she also offered the most comprehensive and best-priced photo package among all of them.

    Most important, Bia was extremely patient, understanding and put us at ease throughout the whole process. Bia's flexibility and guidance helped bring out the festivities and emotions in our photos, despite all of the crazy logistics that go into most weddings.

    I would recommend Bia and Jason to anyone and could not have imagined a better team of photographers for our wedding. Thank you, Bia!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bia! We spent a lot of time researching a photographer for our big day and we could not have ended up with a better person! She is so fun to work with, flexible, smart, creative, talented....I could go on and on. And not only did we get to work with Bia, but also her amazingly talented husband, Jason. We feel so lucky and grateful they captured such an important day in our lives. I would recommend her 10 times over!

    Bia was incredible to work with on my wedding day. She has a wonderful presence and everyone enjoyed having her around, she was never intrusive. She also worked well with the videographer, someone she had not previously worked with for any events. Bia brought her husband as the second photographer and my husband and his groomsmen liked working with him as well. Bia also kept in mind speed when taking the family formals and wedding party formals. My husband & I did not see each other before the wedding, so it was important we didn't miss too much of our cocktail hour and she worked through the photos quickly AND they turned out beautiful. Overall, even without seeing the photos, Bia's a star to have as a photographer on your wedding day.

    I just got the digital album and I'm blown away. Her work is beautiful and she captured the day wonderfully. The family photos are beautiful and elegant, without being stuffy. At the beginning of my day, I was a little stiffer for photos, but Bia was able to get me to relax and you can see my expression loosen up as the photos continued. Not only did I get to enjoy my wedding, I now have the most beautiful photos to remember the day. Thank you Bia!

    From our first meeting through the edited images, Bia was absolutely amazing! Bia has an intoxicating mix of warm energy and immense talent. The woman behind the camera is just as important as how the pictures come out. Bia has this amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable and confident. She made everyone feel that it was okay to be silly, or sexy, or just themselves! She took my direction and inspiration pictures and ran with it. She was on the ball the whole day!

    My fiance and I were planning from our of state and relied heavily on email to communicate with her. She was fabulous at being prompt and professional through the whole process. The morning of we all gathered at 6am to start getting ready and Bia was there once we all got set up to snap away! She captured so many sweet and precious moments that I didn't even realize she was getting. The ceremony pictures came out so beautiful and she captured some amazing little glances between my husband and I. The photos of the bridal party and to die for and she captured hilarious moments on the dance floor. The detail shots of the tent are ones that I will cherish because it's so hard as the bride and groom to see it all and soak it in with SO much going on! She created two mini albums that fir perfectly in my purse to show my coworkers and girlfriends. Everyone had LOVED the pictures and the alums. So smart!

    I can't rave enough about Bia. She made me feel so comfortable and most importantly she made the endless picture taking in freakishly cold weather...FUN! THANK YOU, BIA!

    Bia was absolutely amazing - wonderful to work with, helpful with everything during the event and leading up to it. Not only is she a great person, but her photography skills are unmatched. We love our photos so much, and am so happy we had Bia capture our day. I have been recommending her to all my recently engaged friends!

    Bia was amazing! We hired her on the recommendation of a friend, who loved her as well. She is charming, friendly, professional, focused, and does great work. Our wedding was a little over a month ago and I already have the proofs! My only complaint is that I am having a hard time choosing the photos for the album because I love too many of them. Worth every penny.

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer, you can stop your hunt now. I can not say enough nice things about what a phenomenal photographer Bia is. She has a true gift for capturing the emotion of the moment and the essence of the event.

    Early on in our search for a photographer, a friend of ours gave us a piece of advice that really stuck with us. He said, "Just remember that the person you're going to spend the most time with besides your future husband will be your photographer. They are with you even in seemingly private moments. Just make sure you like their personality and want to be around them!" When I went to meet Bia, we had already interviewed a few photographers who just didn't do it for us. I went to meet Bia alone and after we finished, I called my husband and said that the look was over and that I'd booked the photographer!

    From the very beginning Bia was great at listening to what our desires were for our wedding pictures and suggesting ideas that would make our pictures spectacular. On the day of the wedding, Bia and her assistant were punctual, and went right to work putting everyone at ease in front of the camera. Bia was great at handling all of the family dynamic that come with two large families.

    We received our wedding pictures about a month and a half after the wedding. We were both overjoyed with the results. The pictures are gorgeous and as we went through the photos, we loved the next picture more than the last.

    If you are looking for a photographer to capture your wedding in a photo-journalistic style and to really capture the essence of your wedding and the emotion of the day, Bia is the photographer for you. I would highly recommend her.

    Bia is extremely talented on so many levels -- from the photographs to her incredible people skills. She is also a great listener -- so you really can give her all the details of what you need, and she will hear them. I really felt she was 'with' us and part of the experience -- I'm so happy we found her and that she and her partner were able to do our wedding photos which turned out BEAUTIFULLY! : )

    There are no words to express how much we love Bia. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is such a wonderful person to work with! Within two weeks of our wedding we received the proofs and Bia's work blew us away. Her photogaphs are so beautiful and have allowed us to relive our special day. For that, we will be forever grateful. We were especially lucky to have Bia's talented husband Jason as the second photographer. Bia has a client for life and we look forward to working with her in the future!

    As a person in the wedding industry, I have worked with Bia before on other weddings. So when my big day came, I knew I wanted to hire her. I knew all my brides said she was great, but it wasn't until I worked with her myself that I found out that she was way beyond great - she is truly amazing, the absolute best! I felt so taken care of and felt she truly understood not just the look I wanted for my photos, but how to make sure my entire family and my husband's family felt comfortable, looked great, and had a wonderful time during our family photos. That is saying a lot considering my brother NEVER smiles and my niece is a wild child who cannot sit still for a second. All of the getting ready shots and candids were spectacular. I look at my photos every single day and cannot find one out of the thousands that I truly do not love. As a wedding planner, I always recommended Bia. As I bride, I recommend her even more.
