Incredibly professional and enthusiastic

You can really tell Samia loves weddings. She is incredibly professional and is enthusiastic about the industry. She works really hard to deliver on deadlines, always ahead of time. While her creativity side is evident, she also remembers the business aspect that brings her entire photography practice together. Pay whatever she charges because the peace of mind she gives you during the wedding planning process is worth every dime. She was the one vendor I did not have to worry about because I knew she had everything under control. Follow her on Instagram (@samias_studios), where you will always see her posting stories about the next development in the wedding photography industry or pictures of your wedding. We can't wait to treasure our pictures for the years to come.

Such a gem to work with!

We absolutely loved working with Samia for our wedding in Old Town, Alexandria! From shooting our engagement (in freezing temperatures!) to documenting each moment on our big day, Samia captured magical photos we'll cherish forever. Her attention to detail comes through in each image, and she guided us through each shot, making even our awkward and lanky selves look fabulous. She is a gem to be around, and we cannot recommend her enough!

Amazing photographer!

I had my wedding pictures taken by Samia, and I can confidently say that if you’re looking for someone to capture your special moments, she is the photographer you need.

Not only are her photos absolutely beautiful, but she also makes the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Samia is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. She travels throughout the DMV area, making her a great option for couples in the region. One of the things I appreciated most was how comfortable she made me feel during the shoot. I’m naturally shy and awkward in front of the camera, and I usually don’t enjoy having my picture taken specially in public. From the very beginning, Samia guided me through every pose and gave clear direction, which helped me feel much more confident and relaxed.
She paid close attention to every detail, from the lighting to the scenery, and always made sure everything looked perfect before taking a photo. Her dedication and eye for detail truly showed in the final results. The pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined, and I couldn’t be happier with them.

I highly recommend Samia to any newly engaged couple looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. She also photographs other events, so don’t hesitate to give her a chance because you’ll be glad you did!

Best Experience

The photographer is one of the first wedding decisions that we made, and it was also one of the best. Samia's team, Megan and Jenna, came to shoot our wedding and they made the day so easy. Family photos were smooth and efficient. During the reception, Megan and Jenna seemed to be everywhere! Each time a friend had their cell phone pulled out to take a photo, Megan or Jenna would swoop in and instantly be there to take a professional photo for us as well. It was impressive! All in all, it was a great experience, and I would absolutely hire Samia/her team again. We can't wait to receive the entire gallery.

Best Wedding photographer ever!

Samia and her second shooter were so easy to work with on the day of our wedding, and we loved talking to Samia leading up to the wedding about what we were looking for. Our photos came out phenomenal and we will be reliving our day through them for years to come.

Professional, caring and talented!

Samia is a wonderful photographer! From the creative photo ideas to the attention to detail, Samia exceeded all our expectations. The personalized photo session was a true adventure, capturing moments we will cherish forever. With seamless coordination and a keen eye for capturing emotion, the photos turned out stunning.

Samia worked with us on rescheduling based on my young kids schedule and our goal of shooting with the cherry blossoms in bloom. We are grateful for her flexibility!

I have worked with Samia professionally with clients for events and personally with my family and I couldn't be happier to have her in my life to capture these moments!

She deserves more than 5 stars!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars because Samia was absolutely amazing! From hopping on a call to discuss our vision for the day to sending us a fun video reel to post the day after our event--Samia is extremely detail-oriented and organized. She is kind and truly cares about her clients, other vendors and the event she is capturing. I highly recommend working with Samia on your special day!
