If you’re looking for a photographer for your engagement or wedding, I cannot recommend Sam enough! He photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

From the very beginning, Sam was incredibly talented, professional, and so easy to work with. He made us feel like we’d known him forever, so nothing ever felt awkward. We spent both sessions laughing, talking, and genuinely having a great time, which made for the most natural and beautiful photos.

On our wedding day, Sam worked so hard to capture every special moment, and we were absolutely blown away by how quickly we received our gallery. I expected to wait his time period he had told us at the beginning of this process so getting our photos back so fast was such an amazing surprise! We are beyond happy with every single picture. We can’t stop looking at them!

Thank you, Sam, for everything you did to make our wedding day so special and for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!

Sam and his team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They took the time to truly listen to our vision and brought it to life in ways that exceeded anything we could have imagined. Throughout the entire process, they made us feel comfortable, guided us every step of the way, and helped make our wedding day so much fun, relaxed, and incredibly special.

When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away. Every photo is a work of art, capturing not only the moments of the day but also the emotions behind them. We will cherish these memories forever, and we are beyond grateful to Sam and his team for giving us such beautiful keepsakes. We truly couldn’t recommend them more highly!

There aren’t enough amazing words to describe the level of talent, care, and enthusiasm that lead photographer Sam and his team at Eighty Eight Photo puts together for the couples they work with. Our wedding day felt like a dream! From planning meetings, engagement sessions, to the excitement that was brought and shared with our closest loved ones on our wedding day, Eighty Eight Photo truly made us feel special, and the pictures that were captured absolutely blew us away and exceeded our expectations. Not only did Sam do an excellent job of making us feel comfortable, we laughed and smiled constantly working with him, and that same sentiment was shared by all of our friends and family that he got to meet and work with on our wedding day as well. He’s genuinely one of the greatest professionals you’ll ever work with! If you want some of the most beautiful pictures you’ve ever seen, whether it’s for a wedding, family pictures, or anything else, the best decision you can make by far is prioritizing your selection for a photographer. Sam, his assistant DJ, and Eighty Eight Photo as a whole are truly remarkable and captured the best memories that we’ll treasure for years to come. Thank you guys so much for everything!

This was me and my fiancés first time ever experiencing a professional photoshoot so we felt a little nervous at first. We quickly realized there was no need to feel this way and the whole shoot honestly felt like we were hanging out with a friend. Sam allows for a space of authenticity and comfortably which is shown through his pictures. Between his editing, unique style and artistic creativity his photos really are like no others. Ever since showing our photos to friends and family every single one of them have asked for his name!! We could not have asked for a better experience and we cannot recommend Sam more!

I would recommend Eighty-Eight Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Cleveland area, or any other area for that matter! Sam was incredible - he got so many incredible shots. He has a great eye, is a great director, and will help you get some incredible pictures even on wet/dreary days like we had! He is efficient with his photos - which is incredibly valuable on a busy wedding day. Also, just a really nice dude who is easy to get along with. The videographer Matt was also wonderful and helped us get some great lighting for our pictures as well as captured a great video of the ceremony! Would definitely recommend!

Eighty eight photo is the epitome of professionalism. We had the pleasure of having Sam and Dennis at our wedding and they did a phenomenal job! From the moment I saw Sam's work at a bridal show I knew I had to have him as my photographer and he did not disappoint. He starts out by taking the time to really get to know you so that he can really give meaning to the photos. He works with you to make the day exactly what you want it to be. He was also very helpful in creating a wedding timeline and keeping us on schedule. He made sure to have us tell him all of the photos we wanted to make sure we got before the wedding day so that when our minds were occupied he already knew what to do and we didn't forget any photos we wanted with friends or family. I'm beyond thrilled that I was able to find such a talented photographer and Dennis as well their work speaks for itself. We had fun joking throughout the day and they made sure to get candid photos and also pulled us aside when they saw an opportunity for a really awesome and creative image. Everyone has been raving about our wedding photos and I haven't been able to stop looking at them either. Also important to note I got every single one of our photos back less than 2 weeks after the wedding! I was so thrilled and excited to get them back sooo soon! Promise me when I tell you that you won't regret using eighty eight photo. They are worth every penny and more. There is no one else I would have wanted to trust to document the beginning of our lives together! I've already decided Sam's my photographer for life! 📸✨️

Choosing Sam and Eighty Eight Photography was by far one of the BEST decisions we made regarding our wedding! He immediately stood out to us at a bridal show because of the combination of his beautiful work and his incredible personality. He put absolutely no pressure on us, was very upfront about everything, and truly made me feel like I was his focus when I spoke with him. He kept us at ease through the whole process, getting to know us as a couple and as individuals so he could cater our photos to us specifically. Great communication throughout the whole process and very timely with responses. We could not be happier with our photos, and each encounter with Sam and his team was perfect. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you like you’re royalty experiencing the best day of your life rather than just another job, this is your guy! We will recommend him to anyone and everyone who’s in need of photos for anything!

Sam was beyond incredible! From the moment we started, he made the entire experience fun, easy, and completely stress-free. He’s hilarious, easy to talk to, and insanely creative. Sam gave clear direction while still allowing us to feel natural, and he truly brought our vision to life. Our wedding photos turned out better than we ever imagined absolute perfection. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and delivers stunning results, Sam is your guy. Highly, highly recommend Eighty Eight Photo!

Sam and his team made our day absolutely seamless! I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything through the day because I knew they would take care of us. They kept the day fun and light and interacted so well with all of our guests at the wedding. The pictures are absolutely stunning and we are so grateful to have them to remember our day!!

Wow! Where to start... this experience was the best a bride could have hoped for. Sam and DJ were an absolute pleasure to work with. We not only used Sam for the engagement photos, but loved working with him so much that we had to reach back out for the wedding photos. Sam and DJ are fun spirited and made the process not only affordable for us on a budget, but smooth and easy. Sam never fails to make you laugh but does it at the best time to really capture that perfect shot. When I say I was OBSESSED with both the engagement and wedding photos...Its no joke! I think the pictures are beyond any expectation I had. Like WOW I can't stop looking at them! Overall, Sam and DJ were incredible and I cannot recommend them enough. We got great photos, a fun time, and made some amazing friends to last us a lifetime.
