Love for Sam & Austin

We're from Canada and planned a fairly last minute small wedding in Palm Desert with Sam & Austin as our photographers. They were so easy to deal with. It was important to me to get all of the hi-res images and knew I would want to do my own print orders - all which was a non-issue with them. They had a great on-boarding process which made the day-of go seamlessly. I really enjoyed having the dual photographers so they could work together as well as split off when necessary. They were calm, funny, and high quality. Highly recommend.

Amazing photographers for both my weddings!

Sam and Austin come very highly recommended from my wife and I. Perfect marks all around, and someone we would want to use for any future photo shoots. We have worked with them on three separate photo shoots: a traditional engagement photo shoot, a non-traditional outdoor beach elopement photo shoot, and a more traditional outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor reception photo shoot. The biggest highlights working with these amazing photographers are the quality of photos, their flexibility.

Quality of photos - I was amazed with every set of photos Sam and Austin shot and edited. From each photo shoot, we had plenty of options to choose from for announcements/save the dates/invites/thank yous. We received plenty of compliments on how gorgeous our wedding photos turned out.

Flexibility - Prior to 2020, we had worked with Sam and Austin on an engagement photo shoot and planned on a November 2020 Temecula wedding. Unfortunately, we had two different venue related cancellations. Following our second venue cancellation, we pivoted our plans to put together a micro wedding on the beach in 2020, with a larger wedding happening later on in 2021. Through all of this, Sam and Austin were very accommodating, and helpful in adjusting our contracts and dates. The day of each of our events it was awesome having Sam shooting the Bride’s side, Austin shooting the Groom’s side, and then both getting different perspectives of the actual ceremonies.

Sam and Austin come super highly recommended for any kind of photography.

You won't be disappointed!

I'm a local wedding planner and I had the pleasure of working with Sam + Austin for a wedding this month. As a planner, I only want the best for my clients, so leading up to the wedding, I'm looking for vendors that are responsive to my emails and are easy and enjoyable to work with. Sam + Austin are both of those things, and much more! They were quick to address any emails from me leading up to the big day, which made my life so much easier because I didn't have to keep following up with them. Come wedding day, I had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside them, and they are just the sweetest! They work efficiently (again, a big bonus from a planner's perspective), they are communicative, and they have such big hearts for their couples. Take it from another professional in the industry...your wedding day is only as good as the team you have making it happen, and with Sam + Austin, you won't be disappointed.

The perfect husband/wife photography team for you!

I am so thankful for Sam and Austin! I needed to find a wedding photographer that would make my non-photo taking husband comfortable and more sure of himself. Sam and Austin were just the couple to do that! Not only were they able to make us smile and relax, they were both so tentative and thoughtful throughout the whole wedding ceremony and reception. It was just an absolute pleasure to work with them and have their calming presence on such a high stress day. I cannot recommend working with them enough!

The best photographers

Going with Sam and Austin was the best decision we made. At first we were nervous about how our engagement photo session would turn out but Sam and Austin made us feel comfortable right away. They were professional, knowledgeable and so fun! I loved the little tips they gave us along the way that made the biggest difference in our poses. We enjoyed our engagement photo session with Sam and Austin so much that we knew we could count on them with our wedding photos too. They were quick and responsive to our questions and I loved how Sam prepared a detailed overview of our plan before the wedding. They were also respectful to our culture and everybody loved them. The following day was the Father's day and they sent us a few photos with our dads. I really appreciated that gesture of kindness. The photos turned out great and we were surprised how natural and good we looked in our photos. I would highly recommend Sam and Austin to anybody. They are professional, attentive to detail, talented, and just good people in general.

Wonderful Photographers

Without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of our wedding that I and my husband wanted to preserve were our photographs. Eternal memories of our beautiful day needed special attention, especially since our wedding was small, intimate and with very little time for everything. I remember that night sending several emails to photographers, but only one of them asked directly if "they were our photographers?", and the next day Sam answered absolutely! We started talking and we managed to agree on the details; from the beginning, I could feel Sam was really interested in making my (our) day as easy and beautiful as possible.

In our wedding day Sam and Austin, were early, and willing to start with all the photographs that we had scheduled, first look, romantic, getting ready etc, they are very patient and respectful of how nervous I could be or our families.

Finally, we receive our beloved photographs, these precious memories that we will keep forever, simply beautiful, elegant and classy. We are so happy to have found Sam and Austin, they are so loving, funny and professional, we love them! We love you guys!

P.S.: They take their time, to get together and know you and your fiance, I think you cannot put a value on that.

So incredible!

As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted Sam to shoot my wedding! Her photography was always so beautiful capturing these incredibly moments and making it so effortless. Sam is so sweet and made myself and my husband feel so comfortable in both our engagement shoot as well as our wedding because him and I are both very awkward infront of the camera haha. When we received our sneak peek if our wedding photos it brought tears to my eyes because they were more than what I could imagine! Thank you so so much Sam for your incredible work, you were the 1 person who I wanted to capture our wedding and I am so grateful you were still able to do that even during the state that the world is in now. Justin and I cannot wait to line our home with these incredible photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
