After looking over Samuel’s amazing portfolio, my wife and I felt that he would be the perfect fit to photograph our wedding day.

We are both absolutely speechless. Our photos came out absolutely gorgeous, better than we could have ever expected.

Samuel is a true creative and took such a diverse selection of photos. He made sure to capture all the right angles and took the perfect photos of us and our party for our big day. He also captured the best candid photos as well. I would rate Samuel’s photography skills an 11/10.

Not only is Samuel’s work phenomenal, but he is an amazing, fun individual. He truly made our wedding day that much more fun.

I will 100% refer Samuel to all of our friends, and will hire him for any future events we have.

Outside of business, Samuel is also now a friend of ours. Thank you Samuel for all of your hard work and positive energy.

We Look forward to spending more time with you in the near future!!

God bless you!!

Samuel was our wedding photographer just a couple weeks ago. It was September in Los Angeles, when the weather is supposed to be perfect. However, the weather was far from ideal -- it rained during our rehearsal dinner and was sweltering hot on the day of the wedding. Never discouraged, Samuel used the obstacles to his and our advantage, producing beautiful photographs of my husband and I embracing the elements. Samuel has both creative vision AND spirit, he captured our glow and elation because he brings a positive energy to the shoot that made him feel like a long time friend. A photographer cannot only rely on the composition of a subject, instead, what sets apart the great ones is their ability to make the subject comfortable enough to expose the beautiful and vulnerable emotions that they feel on their wedding day. Samuel is one of the greats and his photographs captured not just how we looked, but also how we felt. Rain, shine, or heat wave, I guarantee that Samuel's photos will transport you right back to that moment, which on the day of the wedding goes by so quickly, but thanks to Samuel is forever captured. We just received our preview and we can't stop looking back and the photos and smiling!

Samuel Lippke is truly an AMAZING photographer. I knew I wanted something different when shopping for our wedding photography and when I found Samuel's wedding pictures, I immediately knew, I just had to book him! Unlike boring, stiff posed pictures, his pictures were very real, natural, and provided a unique perspective. The trendy term for his photography style is "photojournalism"- the pictures are alive and tell a story. Samuel is one of the best wedding photojournalists and talented one at that- he can really use natural light and his photography skills to generate a genuine art from your big day.

On our wedding day, Samuel made us feel comfortable and at ease- toward the end of our event, we didn't even notice him taking his shots! He was so stealth and quick! Then, everyone was absolutely amazed at the photos from the wedding slideshow that he has put up for our viewing pleasure toward the end of the event (with his same day edits). They were really cool! Everyone kept asking for pictures right after we came back from our honeymoon. A couple weeks after our big day, he sent us a beautiful wedding slideshow that included even more pictures along with some really nice, romantic music selections. I think I watched it at least a dozen times on that day! We are going to have a very hard time picking which ones should go into our album... we just like too many of them!

With that said, if you're shopping for a photographer for your big day, do your research and pick a good one. Definitely do your homework and pick the best you can afford! I truly believe that wedding photographer is the single most important vendor that you'll need for your big day... Our wedding day passed by so fast and pictures are the only way we will remember it... we are so glad we got to know Samuel and even my now-husband agrees with me! :)
