Best photographer!


Working with Samantha was such a wonderful experience! I met her and Charles through a Bridal Expo and really appreciated that she called later that weekend to follow up. My fiancé’s sister is also a photographer and guided us through the process of finding the right photographer for us. We selected Samantha because it was clear she had expertise in capturing peoples emotions. We wanted photos that really captured our personalities and love for each other.


Our wedding timeline is a bit shorter than we had originally planned for so we were on a little bit of a time crunch! She worked around our busy schedules to find a time that would work well and was flexible with timing. We’ve never had a professional photoshoot so we were a little unsure of what to expect. Samantha guided us throughout the whole process and gave us helpful pointers on how to pose in ways that didn’t feel overly formal. She has a great personality and made the experience fun. Her assistant Liberty was kind and helped with lighting and posing. We really appreciated Samantha’s attention to detail - she let us know if there was a hair out of place or a sock visible that would look less than ideal. Needless to say, these photos exceeded our expectations. The turnaround time for the photos was fantastic, especially given our timeline.

In short - such a fantastic experience working with Samantha. She made sure we enjoyed the whole process , was flexible and helped us to have the best possible experience. Outside of her being a wonderful person, we think her work speaks for itself. We could not be more happy with the photos we received.
