There is truly no other way to describe Samantha and the photography services she provides!!!

1) Samantha is an exceptionally talented photographer with incredibly reasonable pricing! My husband and I used her services for our engagement & our wedding photos, and I have no doubt we will be using her services for every life event to come! Her eye for capturing photos is unparalleled, her editing top notch, and to top it all off, she is one of the most warm-hearted and inviting people we have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her infectious energy & happy demeanor made all the difference in helping my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. I love the man, but you hold up a camera and he turns into a 5-year old cheesing with an unnatural smile. I conveyed this concern to Samantha before our engagement shoot and she reassured us that her job was to make sure we have fun and feel comfortable, but that she’s got the corny dad jokes ready should my husband’s natural smile need some coaxing! Well, no dad jokes were needed b/c my husband suddenly turned into a GQ model as soon as Samantha got us comfortable. Her direction and suggestions for poses, facial expressions & backdrops were perfect and helped ease my husband’s anxiety over what he should do with himself in the photos. Having that gentle coaxing made all the difference in giving him confidence in front of the camera.

2) One of the main qualities that first drew us to Samantha’s work is her uncanny ability to transition from daylight to nighttime photography. This was a very important quality for our photographer to have because we were planning an October evening wedding outside at Magnolia Plantation. For a 5:30pm ceremony, we would have only about an hour of dusk lighting before flash would be required. Our planner stressed the importance of having a photographer who could handle that transition without sacrificing on quality and lighting of photos. After reviewing Samantha’s Instagram & website, she was at the top of our list before we even spoke with her. But nothing could have prepared me for just how perfect she would be at capturing our engagement photos in dusk lighting, our day of wedding photos and my bridal portraits in afternoon sunlight, our wedding party and family photos in sunset lighting, and our reception photos in nighttime lighting. Samantha handled every stage of lighting that day beautifully and as a result our photos seamlessly transition from daytime to nighttime.

3) Samantha has about the fastest turnaround I’ve ever seen from a photographer. While many of my friends waited at least 8 weeks to get any wedding photos back from their photographers, Samantha got us our engagement photos back in 3 weeks, our 25-photo sneak preview of wedding day LITERALLY 2 days after the wedding, and our full wedding album in 4 weeks!!!! Despite Samantha being booked solid (peak wedding season in Charleston), she worked her magic and surprised us with the unbelievably quick turnaround.

4) Final reason why Samantha is hands down the best...she is an amazing communicator who listens to you, understands your wants and needs and how to make them a reality in your photos, and she goes above and beyond for her clients. In fact, I reached out months after our wedding with a very awkward request: could she possibly colorize 4 black & white photos that were my mom’s favorites from the wedding album? I was reluctant to even humor my mom with this request because I loved every photo and didn't want to offend Samantha and her artistry. However, she immediately replied back and got to work on my special request. Less than 24 hours later and I had beautiful, colorized versions of the B&W photos that my mom absolutely loves! That level of care and responsiveness to the client is what makes Samantha so incredibly special and the BEST at what she does!

In conclusion, my husband and I would 1000000/10 recommend Samantha for any of your photography needs!!! You will not regret it and will undoubtedly become as obsessed as we are with her! :)

Truly have so many positive things to say about Samantha and her work! First of all, she is incredibly talented. She has an eye to elevate a photo above just a typical portrait and can capture special moments from unique angles. Combine that with her kind personality, professionalism, and quick communication and you could not ask for a better photographer to work with on your wedding day. My favorite moments were when Samantha would come to us throughout the day with enthusiasm about a new idea she had for a photo. You can truly tell she loves what she does. We are obsessed with the sneak peek gallery and can’t wait until the full gallery is ready. Do not hesitate to book Samantha for your wedding!!

Amazing communication, and did a wonderful job!
