About

Fine-Art wedding photography for couples who are passionate about love, life, and creating memories to prove it. These moments are more than just photographs on a page; they are the story of enduring love.

Hello Friends! I’m Summer! And like my name implies, I am warm, welcoming, and just so glad that you are here!

I want to tell the story of your love through timeless photographs, the kind that lasts long after the flowers have faded and candles are burnt. If heartfelt moments and genuine connection are your thing, or you’re the kind of gal that saved her granny’s handkerchief to carry down the aisle, how ‘bout we become friends?

Over my years of capturing weddings, I have developed a deep appreciation for capturing the relationship you share with those who love you best. From a teary moment with your mother, as you get into your dress, to the proud grin on your father’s face as he sees you for the first time as a bride, these precious moments are an intricate part of your wedding story.

I believe history matters as much as the future. Wedding photography should be about more than just your big day. Your wedding is both an end and a beginning. It brings the end to stories, which until now were told separately, and begins the weaving of each other’s family history into a beautiful tapestry of our own family’s story. I specialize in crafting wedding stories that honor the days leading up to this moment.

Summer captured our day beautifully!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Summer for our wedding in Oak Island, NC, and we could not be happier with our experience! From our very first conversation, Summer went above and beyond to get to know us and learn which moments of our day were most important. She took the time to personalize our experience and communicated with us every step of the way. On our wedding day, Summer immediately made us feel at ease — she even made sure our dog was comfortable and captured the sweetest photos of her! Her warmth and kindness shined throughout the entire day and we have fallen in love with every image from our wedding! Summer captured our day beautifully and gave us photos that will help us relive those memories for years to come. :)

Love, Love, Love

Summer is absolutely sensational! We were planning our wedding from several states away but received a recommendation for Summer from our wedding venue. From the moment we spoke to Summer on the phone, I knew she was the one! She is so friendly, down-to-earth, funny, and professional. When we did our engagement shoot with her, she made us feel so at ease and the photographs came out stunning. Prior to the wedding, she worked with us to make sure she knew what photos were most important to us to ensure she captured them. She sent us a detailed timeline for the day of the wedding so we knew what to expect, which was so helpful. Summer and her assistant were so helpful throughout the entire process of getting wedding, the wedding ceremony, and the reception. They were such a pleasure to be around the entire day and were so easy to work with. The following day, she sent us over some sneak peak photos, which were absolutely perfect! We are so excited to get the rest of the photos back as we know they will be everything we were hoping for and more. We really consider them our friends now and are so grateful to Summer and Ashley!

Great experience with Summer!

After rescheduling our Vegas wedding and then postponing it indefinitely, we decided to start from scratch and get married in Oak Island, NC. Our wedding planner connected us with Summer, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience! Summer is easy to work with, as sweet as can be, and we love the way our photos turned out. I'd definitely recommend Summer if you're planning a wedding in Southeast NC (or anywhere!).

Excellent Experience

I found out about Summer through others in my home town and I can’t be more thankful that I did! She is truly one of a kind and very easy going. I am pretty shy when it comes to having pictures taken of me but she made me feel 100% comfortable and confident! She also went above and beyond when it came to so many changes due to Covid-19. I absolutely recommend using SAP as your pick for capturing your special day!

Summer is amazing!

Summer is an absolute delight to work with. She is such a sweet person, totally personable and all while keeping it professional. I am a fan for life, and will continue to use her for family pictures. My husband even commented on how amazing she was, and how well she kept things together and flowing on our wedding day. Our pictures turned out amazing!

Wedding & Engagement Picture Perfection

I met Summer at a bridal expo and boy am I glad I did! We celebrated our engagement and wedding with Summer and we could not have been any happier with the result! She is professional and also very down to earth and does everything in her power to give you the absolute best photography experience. With her behind the camera, we were very relaxed because she just let us be ourselves which made for the most beautiful candid photos that captured our love for each other. Definitely recommend and we will without a doubt be using her again in the future!

Best wedding photographer!

Summer is truly amazing! She captured all the love of our family on our wedding day. Above all else, she is the sweetest and kindest person! She has such an eye for detail and beautiful light. I was 7 1/2 months pregnant and she even did a “baby shoot” before the wedding. She did this all in a couple of hours and she got the best pictures which are now all over our house. Thank you Summer for capturing the best day! We are forever grateful! And also thank you to her assistant Francesca who was so sweet and helpful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
