Sam did an amazing job capturing the day perfectly. The wedding day goes by quicker than I could have ever imagined, so it is great to have Sam's beautiful photos to look back on to remember the day. We cannot thank Sam, and her second shooter Julia, enough for capturing our special day with such beautiful photos.

Sam was so fun to work with and open to any suggestions/ props/ ideas for our fall engagement photo shoot at the place were we first met. We will definitely be going back! Thank you for helping us create beautiful pictures that truly display our personalities!!

Eye for detail

Where to start Samantha is an amazing person doing what she truly loves ! She showed up a little early and set up and sent her 2nd shooter off with the boys. They both were amazing and prepared. We could not be happier with our photos they are clear crisp and like you could walk right back into the day. We felt very comfortable with sam and she made it so easy going through the pictures and her being open to ideas and opinions. We cant wait to put the pictures up in our home and show our family and friends. You honestly couldn't ask for a better photographer. She was always reachable and easy to work with when it came to times, schedule, and pricing. Her photos speak wonders for themselves.

She was amazing!

She went above and beyond to help out and make my day go smoothly. Even helped me out when I was struggling to get ready with my less than helpful bridal party. The pictures turned out beautiful!

Highly recommend

Samantha was the second shooter for our wedding. Even only meeting her for that one day, we could tell how amazing she is! Samantha worked so well with our photographer/videographer and jumped right in to help wherever she was needed. All of our photos turned out amazing and we know Samantha played a huge part in that! She was a fun person to be around and had great ideas for candid shots. We would definitely recommend Samantha as your wedding photographer, she’s awesome!

As someone who is also a professional photographer, you would imagine that I (and my husband!) would be extremely picky about who we would choose to capture our wedding -- we chose Sam because we loved her eye and style and have been nothing but pleased with our decision. I literally can't stop looking at her beautiful photographs!

We hired Sam to and her assistant, Julia, to capture our big day in August 2018 at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House in Baltimore, MD. Boy, did she deliver! From the very beginning, Sam has been 100% professional, prompt and so easy to work with. She also uses an awesome client management system that makes the entire process seamless and so easy for both her and her clients.

Before the wedding we did an engagement session -- and it was awesome! We did something themed and a little different and she totally ran with it. We couldn't wait for her to capture our big day after this shoot!

On our wedding day, Sam was poised, on time and knew exactly how to capture each part of the day. She corralled all our family members for formal pictures, captured candids, snapped details and even sent us 13 preview photos the day after our wedding as a sneak-peak (how amazing and cool!). I have had several family members express to me how professional and lovely she was to be around on the wedding day and how they love her work!

Additionally, Sam is very fairly priced for the high value of work she provides her clients. Again, as a professional photographer, I will be very clear -- you won't find a better photographer in the DMA/PA area at this price point -- PERIOD! We would spend every penny we spent on her services over and over again.

Sam, thank you so much. Everyone else, book with her! You won't be disappointed!

Samantha was so great to work with. My wedding pictures are so beautiful that I can't stop staring at them :) It was such a nice suprise to wake up the morning after my wedding to a sneak preview. Her pricing is great and she is also incredibly sweet! I highly recommend her.

The very BEST photographer

Sam was nothing short of fantastic and I recommend her to everyone I know who is planning a wedding. She is kind, patient, inclusive, thoughtful, has a fantastic eye, and she expertly guides individuals into spaces where she can capture the most honest moment possible. I knew I wanted to work with Sam after our first meeting, and she truly went above and beyond, far exceeding my expectations.

An engagement shoot was included in our package and it was a great way for us to build our relationship with Sam before our wedding day. On wedding day, Sam showed up early (she was the second vendor to arrive, right after hair and makeup, well before she was scheduled to arrive), and immediately got busy taking photos of our venue. She captured getting ready moments without feeling invasive, and also kept us on time. Our first look was the most special moment and I think Sam had everything to do with that. She was efficient with portraits, knowing they're my least favorite, and she managed to capture every part of our day and all of our guests! We got our gallery sooner than anyone we know, and our photos are just breathtaking.

I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a photographer, especially for their wedding. I can't say enough good things.

She is wonderful :)

Samantha is so wonderful! She is SO wonderful that I chose her only after talking to her on the phone. I had met so many photographers in person that just wanted to sell sell sell or that were just plain awkward. Samantha was different- VERY easy to get along with and talk to. She is a fun person who loves what she does. She did a phenomenal job- our wedding day will forever be remembered by her wonderful pictures.
