Fantastic Wedding Photographer

Samantha captured all the wonderful moments from our wedding and more! Samantha is genuine, friendly, and was great to work with. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to get to know us and on the day of our wedding she made us feel very relaxed. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, I highly recommend Samantha!

Excellent Photographer

Samantha was amazing. She showed up very early and took beautiful pictures of the venue. When we saw the final pictures, we were amazed because we never saw Samantha taking them. When we got about 30 minutes behind schedule before the wedding, she said not to worry - she would make up the time - and she did!
We loved every single one of her pictures. She was easy to work with and made sure to take every picture my daughter and husband had requested and more.
I would recommend Samantha to anyone for any event. She is a professional! Her prices were very reasonable and we were able to purchase all the pictures on a flash drive for a minimal cost.

Beautiful natural photos of our wedding

Samantha was exactly the right person to photograph our wedding! She answered all our questions, met with us twice to be sure we had everything sorted out, and always seemed upbeat! She took tons and tons of gorgeous natural photos, and we were so comfortable with her. Would highly recommend!!!

Working with Samantha was absolutely wonderful. Samantha has several packages available depending on what you want and did not push for anything we weren't interested in doing. She's extremely sweet and her team was so, so helpful the day of. Samantha's planning beforehand made the day go very smoothly, and she wasn't afraid to take charge corralling loose family members. Her team was also very stealthy and captured some AMAZING shots. Half way through the reception we were even able to see some on an iPad which everyone LOVED! The turn around time afterwards was super quick. We received a site with all pics and a USB in the mail which was ADORABLE. Samantha truly thinks of every little detail. Cannot recommend her enough.

Samantha was so nice and helpful throughout the whole process. The pricing was clear with no snags. She was really fun to work with the day of the wedding and she got such amazing shots. The photos came out more beautiful than I could have expected. She actually had a few photos on her Ipad that people could look at during the reception, which was a big hit, and actually brought my mother-in-law to tears! She sent us a link to our web gallery within a few weeks which was awesome and we just got the flash drive, which she sent with the cutest little box, along with a full size framed print from our wedding. It was such a nice final touch on a great experience. A highly recommend working with Samantha!!!

Photography was one of the more important aspects and investments of our wedding, and we were very happy we went with Samantha as our photographer. We loved her natural photography style, and she was great to work with throughout the process. On our wedding day she even edited a number of pictures during our cocktail hour and passed around an iPad with the pictures during our reception for guests to view. We thought that was such a neat idea! It was fun for our guests and us to see some of the photos taken earlier in the day. We were thankful to have her capture our day the way she did. We will enjoy our wedding pictures for years to come!

Samantha was an absolute pleasure to work with. I have to say... I am as Type "A" as they come and she made me feel extremely relaxed and confident in her work. We booked a package that included our engagement photos. We new nothing about the area so Samantha took care of everything, all we had to do was show up! Our pictures were breathtaking. I spent a long time looking and searching for the right photographer and her responses to my emails and pricing questions were prompt and professional.

Samantha takes beautiful and elegant pictures, and is very sweet to work with. It was very hot and humid and buggy on our wedding day, and she never let it get in the way of her work. She was very patient with my family and wedding party, and was understanding when schedules didn't work the way we planned them on the day of.

Let me start by saying I know Samantha personally which is why we were willing to pay extra to have her travel all the way up from Virginia to upstate NY to photograph our wedding. To say we are happy would be an understatement. Samantha is incredible. Her thorough questions during the planning process helped us understand our options, and helped her understand us. On the day-of, Samantha worked so hard to capture every moment in beautiful, natural photographs. She was completely unobtrusive. I forgot she was there at times until I went back and looked at the pictures which just arrived in the mail less than 1 month after our wedding date. They are perfect. Samantha is a professional, from start to finish. She is a talented and unique photographer who is kind, genuine and gracious and trustworthy. If you hire her to photograph your special event you will not be disappointed.

Samantha was fantastic, down to earth and easy to work with. We couldn't be happier with her services and talented eye. We were looking for a photographer who took simple and elegant photos and Samantha gave us everything we wanted as she documented our wedding day. We really wanted outdoor forest-y pictures and she helped us find a beautiful spot that was on the way from the church to the reception venue.

We love that Samantha also gives us the copyrights to the photos and provides all the photos on disc so that we can do what we want with them.

It seems as if Samantha wanted to photograph our wedding with the care and precision that she would use to photograph her own wedding (if that were possible).

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
