The best photographer

So happy we booked Sam for our wedding, she captured the day perfectly! From the start she made everyone super comfortable, got kids to smile, people laughing and of course beautiful photos. A few of our guests even told us how great she was and said she seemed to be everywhere, very attentive and capturing all the best moments which is exactly what we wanted. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding album turned out, we've had it 3 weeks now and I still look through it every day, I love the photos so much!
Sam was very helpful in the planning stages too and did our engagement photos (included in our wedding packing!) She accommodated our weird requests, mucked through the mud with us and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. Really could not be happier that we found Sam for our special day her photos will be cherished for life!!

BEST wedding photographer ever

If you are looking for an amazing quality photographer for your wedding look no further. Sam is not only the easiest and nicest person to work with, she is funny and makes what can be a stressful day light and fun! Sam is such a professional and so many people at my wedding complimented me on the photographer I chose and how great she was. The day after my wedding Sam sent sneak peak pictures, which was so awesome of her and you can tell she’s very passionate about her work and puts everything into it. I am so happy with everything. Sam finished my album so fast and I was able to relive my wedding day through her amazing work and was brought to actual tears. I would recommend her 1000000000% and you will not regret having her as your photographer!!

We received exactly what we wanted with Sam. We were beyond happy with her work!

Sam was amazing! She was professional, kind, down to earth, and inspiring. She took and edited my daughter’s wedding photos and the finished product was magical! We were incredibly happy with the photos! I’m talking jaw dropping. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If you go with her, I have one piece of advice, let her lead. If she gets inspired let it happen!! You won’t be disappointed!

Simply the Best

Sam was recommended by a friend for my November 2023 wedding, and I am so grateful for that referral. From the start, Sam struck the perfect balance between being a warm, humorous friend and a consummate professional who took charge when needed. She captured the essence of our special day with stunning authenticity, highlighting all the love and beautiful moments. Working with Sam was an absolute joy—she handled everything with such grace and ease. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

The best wedding photographer we could’ve asked for!

Sam captured everything we dreamed of and more on our wedding day. Our photos are STUNNING and she truly made our day even more special. Her professionalism and sense of humor was so appreciated by not only us, but our friends and family as well. Her attention to detail is unmatched as well as the many ideas she had when photographing us. She went above and beyond ensuring that the best day of our lives was remembered in the most beautiful way. We are forever grateful for her and the photos we have of these moments to look back at!
