Everything we hoped for and more

Sam is an absolute delight to work with. The second we saw her photography style online we knew we wanted her for our wedding. She catches all the special moments and is a true artist with lighting. My wife and I still don't get how she captured so many different angles of the same moment! She's magic! Absolutely everything we hoped for and so much more! We will be using Sam for any future photography needs. Highly recommend!

Best photographer!!!!

Absolutely incredible!! Sam is super down to earth, kind, fun, and professional- she was a dream to work with. From our first phone call we knew she would be able to capture our day perfectly, and we couldn’t be happier with our beautiful wedding gallery filled with tons of memories. Sam was able to capture every part of our wedding day. We loved her style in that she captured so many moments in candid ways rather than extremely posed- even the more organized shots feel fun and natural, and you can really feel the love and joy we were feeling all day long!! We could not be happier with choosing Sam to capture our day.

Shutter Sam is the Best!

WOW! I really wish we could give Sam more than 5 stars!! Sam was one of the very first vendors we hired for our wedding. My husband and I really wanted to have a special connection with our photographer, and the minute we met Sam we knew that she was the only photographer we wanted to work with on our special day. Sam made us and all of guests feel so at ease. She was also SO fun to work with and the previews we have seen of the photographs are amazing. I cannot recommend Shutter Sam enough! We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her for the wedding and we know that we will continue to work with her for years to come. Thank you so much, Sam!

Sam is a gal of many talents but photography is certainly her specialty. Her vision is clear. When you see her images, you most definitely see Shutter Sam Photography, which a perfect marriage of vintage meets modern.

Sam is such a sweetie. We haven't worked together at a wedding, but my meeting her was enough to know that her fun personality will shine through on your wedding day. She is flexible, affordable, and a great photographer.
