Sam photographed our wedding and takes beautiful pictures. She spent the entire day with us, getting tons of photos. She posted a few "sneak peeks" the morning after our wedding, which we were thrilled about. From the time we booked her she was great to work with - she kept us in the loop and reached out to us to make sure we had everything ready for our special day. Even after the wedding, she kept us updated with where she was in editing the photos. I am so glad we went with Treasured Memories Photography. We will treasure our photos for years to come!

Samantha is the most fun photographer I've ever worked with. She instantly gets you to relax and makes it all feel so natural. We got sneak peeks on your facebook page and then a CD of all of our pictures and could print as many as we liked.

A complete disaster and upset to my husband and me. We hired Samantha of Treasured Memories, back in September of 2018 for our March 2019 wedding. With this package, we received 6 hours of wedding photography with a second photographer included and a free engagement session, which was part of a promotion she was running. Our engagement photos came out lovely and we were truly happy with the quality of work. Samantha was paid in full for the wedding back in November of 2018. Leading up to the wedding, we discussed several photos that I wanted taken and she was given a gallery of those photos. We also discussed that I wanted to be completely hands off on the day of the wedding, due to wanting to enjoy every moment. She agreed and the wedding day came. When the second photographer she hired arrived to take pictures of the groomsmen, my brother and asked where I had found this photographer. He explained that she didn’t know what she was doing and that he and the other groomsmen had to direct the photo shoot. I mentioned this to Samantha and I believe she called and spoke with the second photographer, but when I received the photos back, NONE of the photos I wanted of the groomsmen were included. I was livid! Back at the venue with me (bride) and the bridesmaids, things were running behind schedule so I understood that we wouldn’t get some of the before wedding photos that I had wanted, and I was okay with that, but Samantha spent a lot of time during those hours she was being paid for sitting in the room with me, talking to myself and my mother. I remember asking her once to go into the bridesmaids’ dressing room and snapping some photos. After the ceremony, it was very cold so the cocktail hour was moved inside and was a tad bit chaotic while we were taking photos, but that was no excuse for how unprofessional things went. Samantha was getting very frustrated and began to snap at some of the wedding party. I quickly took over and began to direct people (which was the only shot I liked from our gallery, because of course it was what I wanted). At one point, she was just snapping pictures and my husband asked me to say something to her. I walked over and asked why she wasn’t having us take the poses that I had sent and requested. She said she left her phone in the dressing rooms and the doors were locked. I vividly remember her saying it, but when I later mentioned that to her, she said it never happened, so that makes me wonder, “well, why didn’t you take the photos I sent you, if you had your phone and the images requested the entire time?” After about 90 minutes of complete confusion and chaos, and simply little to no direction from her or the second photographer, I was done. It was 9:30, the reception hadn’t started and my guests hadn’t eaten. I told Samantha I wanted to end the photos because I was frustrated and I knew she was not capturing what I wanted to be captured. She did ask if I wanted to continue, but I told her no. We had 90 minutes left before the reception ended and I wanted to enjoy my wedding and guests, which should have been understandable to her. Two days after the wedding, I called Samantha and expressed that I was displeased with how things went and that we didn’t get the photos I wanted. I was very upset. She offered a ridiculous solution of having us recreate the wedding another time and shooting again. How?!!!! You don’t get to recreate or relive that day. She also explained that she got some great photos and tried to assure me that I would be happy with the gallery. Well, four weeks came and went and I received the gallery of images. My husband and I were livid. Out of 600 images, the camera quality was awful, there were maybe 40 pictures of us and there were several random pictures of babies and people staring at their phones or looking down- NONE OF THE IMAGES I REQUESTED. NONE! When I reached out to Samantha, her reasoning was that she came on time, stayed until the end of the time allotted and took as many pictures as she could. Never really listening to me or my concerns. I asked did she feel that she needed to give back some compensation for the contract being fully fulfilled- she said no. I also asked could she go back and allow us to look at the gallery of unedited images and choose which ones we would like to have edited- she said no. She chose them and she wasn’t going to spend any more time or energy on this wedding. I explained that this was the biggest day of my life and I couldn’t understand how she could know I was unhappy but be unwilling to help correct it. I believe it was a pride thing, but nonetheless, the only option she gave the entire time was to go back and recreate the day. I don’t see how. Many of the images were too dark or too light and the quality of the editing looked awful. Some of the phone photos we received from guests looked way better. She edited a couple of those images but not all. I am so upset with this entire wedding photography fiasco and I want to spare anyone else the heartache and anger. Samantha just kept saying she was there the entire time she was supposed to be, she arrived on time, she got a lot of pictures (remember, none we discussed) and she fulfilled the duties of her contract. Not once did she ask how she could make this right for us. Do not book with this photographer. She is all about timelines and not what the customer wants.

In the photos, some are the images she was sent of what we wanted. The second ones are of our wedding. Not the same idea at all!
