About

We are Alex and Katie Sams, the husband/wife team of Red Boat Photography. We offer wedding and portrait photography from the coasts of the Carolinas, to the mountains of Tennessee and beyond. We are available to travel wherever a wedding leads. We are blessed to have the opportunity to work together and offer seamless photography coverage at your wedding. We consider it an honor and large responsibility when working with each of our clients.

At Red Boat we like to keep imagery simple, minimally posed, and capture you as others see you--candidly. We feel this translates to a comfortable and relaxed experience when working with us. We would be honored to chat with you more and show how we can capture your day in an organic way that is unique to you and your story. With a price range of $1600-$5500 (with our most popular package being in the $3800 range) we feel we have something to offer for most budgets.

The best day

So happy to have Katie and her team capture our wedding day! They made all the photos so easy and captured every last detail.
Getting to know Katie over the last year has been a pleasure! Would hire her over and over again!

Excellent and Adaptable Team

Everyone knows any wedding plan goes awry to some degree the day of. This team showed excellent adaptability both leading up to the wedding and the days of. My family found photos from experiences captured they don't remember but are their favorite photos from the wedding.
We had a mixed Christian/Hindu wedding and the team did both very different styles and needs excellently. Extremely happy with this group, highly recommend.

Picture perfect wedding day

Dream photographer – When you look at the photos you quickly realize each one is literally an individual work of art. Extreme attention to detail enabled Katie to flawlessly capture my wedding day. Somehow Red Boat Photography was able to get into my mind if I were to list every special moment I dreamed to capture of all the people I love most. Many of the shots were genuine action shots of family surrounding us with support. I could not have been happier with the emotions captured and the way the setting was portrayed (even when she never saw it before the big day). Photographers were punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. I did not realize how busy the wedding day would be but the stress of making it memorable was taken care of for me and I am eternally grateful for Red Boat photography. I can assure you the stress of a wedding photographer will be an afterthought with Red Boat.

We enjoyed working with Red Boat Photography..... they are very professional, on time and easy to work with. As the DJ of many events, it is sometimes hard to coordinate with the photographer as to the time line and to keep things running smoothly, but not with Red Boat, they were on their game and assisted with keeping the flow of the evening moving along! We Recommend Them!!
