When my husband and I started our wedding planning journey, we knew without a doubt that we wanted Sam to capture our day!

Our very intimate wedding was absolutely perfect and Sam took such great care of us! Any fears or doubts I might’ve had, Sam took control and made things happen! We’re so thankful for her attention to detail, personalization to our guests and caring the requested shots we had.

We woke up the next morning with a selection of previews and we’re just in awe! We absolutely love Sam and WILL be using her again!

Samantha was very professional, very kind and polite, and such a joy to work with her. She meet all of our needs and captured our big day with so many amazing photos. The only problem is we have too many options to frame!

Sam was amazing to work with from the moment we first emailed her! She was incredibly responsive, answering our pricing questions promptly and making us feel fully at ease. Wedding photographers can be pricey, but Sam's rate was very reasonable, and the pictures we got back were absolutely stunning. SO worth it. We came in as clients and left as friends, feeling like our day was captured well and with so much thought and intention. Could not recommend her more!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Samantha. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to capture the most special moments of our big day. Her creativity, professionalism, and every photo reflected her incredible attention to detail. Samantha made the whole experience feel fun and relaxed. Her warm and friendly personality made her such a joy to have around on such an important day. She didn’t just take photos; she created memories we’ll treasure forever. When we got our gallery back, we were truly amazed. We felt so lucky that we got to relive the best day of our lives through Samantha’s photos. Samantha was so organized and easy to work with throughout the whole process. She really took the time to understand what we were envisioning and made sure every detail was covered. Samantha absolutely exceeded our expectations and gave us a collection of photos we’ll cherish for generations. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not only talented and professional but also genuinely cares about making your wedding day unforgettable, Samantha is the one. She’s truly a gem, and we feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding!

Samantha is amazing!! She was able to capture moments and details that we will forever treasure. She is professional, kind, understanding and knows exactly what she is doing under any circumstance. Thank you!

Hiring Samantha to capture the memories of my daughter's wedding was the best decision. Samantha is very experienced, creative, and efficient. She did an amazing job capturing all the key moments of the day. I would highly recommend Samantha. She is a true professional and a real pleasure to work with!

We had the absolute best experience working with Samantha for our wedding. From our initial call, I could tell Sam was everything we were looking for - organized, professional, experienced, well priced, and clearly cares a lot about what she does - in addition, she is so upbeat and has a great personality so I knew she would be the person I wanted to spend basically the whole wedding day with. She communicated clearly throughout the planning phase and we had a great engagement shoot in Grand Rapids where she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera - she even got some adorable shots of our dog who is not easy to take pictures of! On the wedding day, she was on time and got started right away with some beautiful detail shots. Throughout the day, she kept us on track without rushing anything and exuded such great energy for us and our family. She also knew our venue (Aurora Cellars) so well and had so many ideas for photo backgrounds and poses. We appreciated how she gave us and our family members tips on posing and made sure to fix any stray hairs to ensure each photo was perfect. We received previews just days after the wedding and our full gallery in just a month and a half and are so impressed with her work. I would highly recommend Samantha as a wedding photographer!!

As a wedding coordinator, I can’t recommend Samantha enough! Her quick teasers, willingness to work with the natural bend on the days timeline and general love for her work was an absolute pleasure to work with, and my bride had nothing but rave reviews the night of and time after working with her.

I first met Samantha when she photographed my best friend's wedding. I knew after working with her then that I wanted her to be my photographer for my wedding and even more so once I saw the pictures. She was the first vendor we booked once we had our date set. Pictures are really important to me so I knew I wanted the best of the best. Someone who would insure I have beautiful pictures from my wedding day! She did just that & not only were the pictures great, Sam did an amazing job helping us plan out our timeline & keep that timeline throughout the day. Her calming & supportive personality allowed me to stay present for my day & know everything would get taken care of. I really appreciated how she directed us to insure we got great pictures! I never worried about how I looked because I knew Sam had my back. Simply the best & so good at what she does! Cannot recommend enough :)

When you book your wedding photographer, you trust someone to capture the biggest day of your life and invite them to be a part of your day. I truly could not have imagined a more perfect person than Sam.
From our first conversation with her, my husband and I knew we had to book Sam for our wedding, so much so that we cancelled all the other calls we had lined up and booked her immediately. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and her kindness and authenticity comes through the phone.
For our engagement pictures, I let her know that we wanted to go to a Christmas tree farm. She found a location, talked to the vendor for us and came up with a bunch of ideas. Our engagement pictures turned out so cute and they were exactly what we wanted. Sam made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she has such a fun personality that the time flew by, and I forgot that she was a stranger.
About 3 months out from the wedding, I last minute needed to find a new hair stylist and knew Sam would have me covered. I called Sam immediately for a recommendation, and she DELIVERED! She called a close friend of hers to make sure the dates work and totally saved me. In addition, we had a few phone calls and emails to go over the timeline for the day and ensure we were on the same page.
On the actual wedding day, Sam and the second shooter (Kristi) were perfect. They showed up on time and started looking around the property to scope out the best picture locations. There aren’t words to describe how incredible they were to work with, and our family and guests raved about how nice and professional they were. They helped us stay on time, but also made sure we took a few breaks to relax, have our time together and just enjoy the day. We recently got our entire album back and are completely blown away with the results. We get to relive our day through these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives.
100/10 - cannot recommend enough. You NEED to book Sam for your wedding!
