Beyond our wildest expectations

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!

The Best Photographer Around!

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!!

Best experience EVER

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.

Excellent experience, highly recommend!

My fiancee and I wanted to schedule an engagement photoshoot in the Cleveland area on a pretty short notice. Sam fit us into his schedule no problem and even had a list of locations ready that fit the vibe of the scenery we were looking for. On the day of the shoot, Sam was super friendly and affable. He put both of us at ease (neither of us were used to having our photos taken) and knew exactly which poses and backdrops would make the best shots. He even hauled his gear into the woods for a few shots I wanted on a specific trail. The pictures came back quickly, and look so great! Everyone we've shared them with has been super impressed and we can't wait to get them printed and use them for our invitations. We had a great experience from start to finish and the pricing was very fair - we would 100% work with Eighty Eight Photo again!

Great Photographer - Highly Recommend

We loved working with Sam at Eighty Eight Photo. He made sure we were well prepared for the wedding day and knew exactly what to do. He was able to offer advice on photo locations, timelines, and structure of the day. He and DJ were incredible to work with on the day of the wedding and they stayed for the entire day. They made a point to photograph all of the guests and were very thoughtful and adaptive as the day went on. We loved how easy and relaxed it was during the photo sessions and all of the photos turned out to be gorgeous. Sam is super responsive and worked to get us sneak peek pictures back within hours of the wedding's end!

Dream Wedding

Honestly I can't say enough amazing things about Sam and his crew! We hired Eighty Eight Photography after having an amazing first meeting and realizing we just vibed so well together. Now while vibes can make or break, we have seen his work and we were very impressed. We booked Sam for our wedding and the process started, the meetings/discussions about expectations, wants/needs began. Our wedding day comes and Sam and everyone is on top of their game and I dont think we stopped laughing the whole day. He was very aware of making sure we got what we wanted but we let him take his own creative twist and he got us some amazing photos! I will recommend them for every Photography need ever! We will be using again and I want to cry over how amazing our photos look. I could post all of them Im so impressed. 🫶🏻🔥🤍

You will not be disappointed!

Sam at Eighty Eight has been amazing with us over this past year. At the end of this process, we feel more like friends and less like clients. No doubt Sam's got a bold personality but my husband and I are the talkative, "type A" kind of people who mesh well with personalities like his. Sam has been incredible with communication, organization, and has accommodated all my kit-picking. He has been so easy to work with and always made us feel super comfortable. Day of the wedding is a whirlwind. Him and his team came so well prepared and I was able to sit back and let them do the work. Whether its the peace of mind they gifted me or the breathtaking product they delivered, they were totally worth the investment!

Wedding & Engagement photos

We first found Sam after he photographed a few of our friends weddings and loved the authenticity he brought to the photos! From start to finish Sam was super friendly, and communicative and listened to our needs throughout the engagement and wedding process. The pictures turned out incredible and we recommend him highly!

Villeneuve 2025

The "crew" that documented our wedding day was - for lack of a better word - absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Not only was the preplanning thorough and our ability to communicate wants/needs were heard and thus a concise plan with options created. The day of the event they were very cognizant of our desires, wants, and needs. In addition, they established and maintained a dialogue that made the day great! All while being "in the background" and still capturing all that happened. The options of video/photography was outstanding! Highly recommend.

Amazing photographer!

My husband and I are not photogenic and were very nervous about our wedding photos. We had nothing to worry about! Every photo was amazing and exactly what we wanted!! We couldn’t have asked for better wedding photos!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
