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!

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!!

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.

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.

Bia is the best in so many ways! Most importantly she asks the right questions and really listens so that she truly customizes based on your priorities and desired memories.

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.

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 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 is such a pleasure to work with during the pre-planning and day of! We have so much fun working together and she is a true professional.

A true artist in every sense of the world. Some people just have the ability to connect. It is in their nature, Bia is that person. She is aesthetic, warm calm and yet involved detailed and professional. Her experience exudes in each picture, a true joy to work with. She made the bride I work with shine and caught each moment as if she were a fly on the wall, quiet and careful not to get in the way. I can only hope I have the chance to work with Bia again.
