About

Samuel Walker Photography is a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Columbus, Ohio, specializing in playful, deliberate and timeless imagery. We achieve this through an intentional process of co-creating with our couples. We passionately believe that every couple is unique, therefore, our artistry reflects the distinctive relationship that each couple brings to their engagement session and wedding day.

The balance of artistry and candid photography is accomplished by how we work together as a married couple and photography team. With a background in award winning ballroom dance competition and professional instruction, Sam expertly guides our couples through our naturally posed portraiture technique with both exuberance and efficiency. Catching the moment is Monica’s speciality, whether it is the laughter filling the bridal party suites, kids owning the dance floor or grandma smoothing the bride’s dress. Together this ensures the wedding day gallery is a balanced reflection of the celebration, with playful, deliberate and timeless imagery, and comprehensive documentation of the laughter, tears and shenanigans!

Our imagery is vibrant because we love true-to-reality colors, which we enhance through thoughtful editing. Your heirloom album, fine art galleries, prints, and digital images are truly timeless, so we enhance and edit your images so they endure.

Complementary Engagement Sessions are included with all collections.

Available worldwide.

We would love the opportunity to learn more about you, your beautifully unique relationship and your vision for your wedding day. Please send us a message or visit the contact us page on our website and we will be in touch soon!

The photographers you want in your corner on your big day!

From the beginning, we knew that Sam and Monica are prepared, thorough, but still made everything accessible and friendly. During our consultation (before we had even picked them!), Sam had already looked up sunset time on our wedding date and built a potential timeline for the day. As a detailed planner myself, I was blown away by all of the knowledge and experience they bring.

Throughout the whole process, from our engagement photo shoot to our first dance, they made themselves accessible and kept us in the loop. They were very responsive when we had questions.

Monica went above and beyond normal photographer duties, and helped my mom bustle my dress! Sam is one of the friendliest people we've met and really took the edge off our nerves on the big day!

We hadn't considered that having a friendly team of photographers that we had great chemistry with would be important on our wedding day, but we are so glad that we chose Sam and Monica. They know how to elicit genuine reactions and emotions, and capture those in the photos and videos. They were also great with our families and good at managing large group photos and transitions.

We were blown away by our final photos and videos, and how many special moments they captured that I didn't even realize were happening. The turnaround time was incredible.

We cannot recommend them enough!!

Memories we can cherish for the rest of our lives!

We'd give 6 stars if we could! As people who don't have any experience being photographed and are a bit camera shy, Sam and Monica did a stellar job making us feel comfortable and helping convey who we are on camera. Their communication, work ethic, and attention to detail we're superb, and we knew that our memories were in the right hands. We were blown away by the videography; we look like we're in a movie!

Excellent Wedding Experience With Sam and Monica For Our November Wedding

We had a fantastic experience with Sam and Monica as our wedding photographers. We had numerous calls with other potential photographers but as soon as we spoke with Sam, we knew that they would be perfect for our big day. He was always quick to communicate, flexible with payments, attentive to detail, and overall was a big help in planning our event.

During our initial call, we explained that we already had our engagement photos taken by another photographer but he insisted that we do another shoot with him so that he could understand what we wanted and how we interact with each other. We were SO glad that we did this as the photos ended up fantastic and are now all over our house.

In the weeks leading up to the ceremony, Sam was instrumental in us finalizing our timeline and the fine details. During the day of the wedding, Sam and Monica somehow captured everything. The getting ready shots were non-intrusive but turned out excellent. The groomsmen and bridesmaid photos were both a ton of fun and are now great keepsakes with our closest friends. The first look and private vows were captured beautifully and are some of our favorite photos. During the ceremony and reception, I didn't even notice Sam and Monica at all but they captured every moment we hoped for and more.

The thing that stood out most to me was the speed and quality that they were able to edit and return the photos to us. Sam said that he stayed up nearly all night after our engagement shoot and had ALL of the photos to us by the next morning. For the wedding itself, we had an excellent selection of photos ready for us the next day and the full album after a few more days. This was such a pleasant surprise for us as I have heard of so many people waiting weeks to get their pictures back.

Overall we could not have been happier choosing Sam and Monica for our wedding photos!
