Fantastic photographer!
We LOVED working with Sam for our engagement photos and wedding photography! We had gotten a recommendation from a good friend who also had Sam do her wedding photography, and I am so thankful she got us in touch with her! Not only does she take incredible photos, but she is so good at directing you through the photos and poses, and helped us feel so comfortable (neither my fiancé or I were used to photoshoots!). Sam is also very efficient with her turn around time with photos, and was able to even get us some pictures from our wedding less than 24 hours after the event! Sam is such a great photographer and we can’t thank her enough for capturing our day so beautifully!

Amazing!
We LOVED working with Sam. From the moment we booked with her she was attentive, responsive, and easy to work with. She made posing simple and not awkward at all 😂 She’s organized and will get it done timely and beautifully. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Sam is the absolute best!
I am so glad my husband and I found Sam!! She is truly one of a kind! We were both nervous to do pictures since both of us are camera shy. But Sam made as feel so at ease! For our engagement session she told us exactly how to pose and our pictures turned out beautiful. She makes you feel like she's a longtime friend. For our wedding day she was AMAZING!!! Sam was at every corner taking pictures, making sure the lighting was perfect, and all the poses were so beautiful. Sam is the most patient, kind, professional, and sweetest soul. She is the best photographer :)

Talented, fun, and makes you feel at ease
Samantha is so talented! She took both our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't be more in love with them. After COVID threw off all our wedding plans, we asked Samantha if we could do a wedding shoot anyway a few months later just so my husband could see my dress and we could still have our wedding photos. She went above and beyond to make the day feel special and like our wedding would have been, complete with first look and first dance. The pictures are amazing! She makes you feel so at ease, and we had a lot of fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Sam was amazing!!
Sam is an amazing photographer and made all my wedding dreams come true. She is so professional, talented, friendly, kind, and helpful! She put all my wedding planning nerves at ease and her pictures are phenomenal. She made my hubby and I who are super awkward look like movie stars. Highly recommend Sam!!

Hire this photographer!
Samantha took amazing photos at my Mangni (Indian engagement party)! She was super positive and helpful throughout the whole process. We love, love, love the photos--she captured all of the details perfectly. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer--she's simply the best!

Samantha is amazing!
Samantha is WONDERFUL!!! She truly has a vision for photography and I cannot say enough good things about her work! We used her for our engagement photos, my boudoir photos, and our wedding photos and all of our pictures turned out AMAZING! She is very easy to work with and a fun person in general. We got to know each other on a personal level and I plan on having her as our "family photographer" in the future!

Let me say Samantha is one of the most amazing people to work with. The process was so easy and she made everything so easy for us. From engagement photos to our wedding it was all flawless. I cannot thank Samantha enough for capturing our wedding day with beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. Don’t look any further for a photographer she’s the best! I look forward to finding an event to have to have her capture again :)

If you’re looking for THE MOST AMAZING photographer around you need to contact Samantha! She’s extraordinary! She walked us through posing (and let’s just say for my husband and I that’s no small task) and worked for her shots. She climbed around trees, stood in a spring, and braved some terrain all for the perfect shot. We would recommend her to anyone!
