We truly could not have asked for better photographers for our wedding. From start to finish Sam and Monica were amazing at their jobs. They were friendly with our guests and took perfect photos, capturing all the little details and moments that are easy to miss on such a busy day.
I heard about this later from my guests, but apparently right before the ceremony (it was outdoors) someone started mowing their lawn very close to our ceremony site. In order to get to the person and alert them to stop, Sam walked right through a patch of poison ivy and went straight up to the guy to get him to stop. It’s not every photographer that will go that extra mile for someone, and we are very grateful for that.
We also got our photos back literally 1 week after the wedding, which was a LOT faster than we were expecting. They turned out great, we love every one of them! We went with collection B, which includes an album of selected photos. Can’t wait to get the album!

We had an outstanding experience working with Sam Walker of Vivere Visuals, starting from our very first interaction. Sam was warm, professional, and genuinely interested in getting to know us and what we envisioned for our wedding day, which immediately put us at ease.

What ultimately influenced our decision to choose Vivere Visuals was the storytelling quality of Sam’s work. His films felt cinematic yet deeply personal—focused on real moments, emotion, and movement rather than anything staged or forced. It was clear from the beginning that he has a strong artistic perspective while still prioritizing the couple’s story.

The planning and communication leading up to the wedding were seamless. In our conversations before the day, Sam thoughtfully guided us through the different options and helped us understand what would truly maximize our experience. His approach never felt pushy—instead, he helped us make informed choices that ensured we got everything we wanted. He was also incredibly organized and responsive, and worked exceptionally well with our entire vendor team, including our photographers and DJ. He had even worked with our DJ previously, which showed in how smoothly everything flowed. We were especially impressed that Sam took the time to meet with us and the rest of the team at the venue ahead of the wedding day to walk through the space and ensure everyone was aligned on what would work best.

One thing that pleasantly surprised us was how effortlessly Sam blended into the background on the wedding day itself. He captured incredibly intimate and meaningful moments without ever feeling intrusive, allowing us to stay fully present and enjoy every part of the day.

When we received our final videos, we were completely blown away. Sam’s dance background was evident in the musical selections and pacing—every song choice felt intentional and perfectly matched to the emotion of each moment. The films beautifully captured all the most important parts of the day, and watching them truly brings us right back to how it felt. We couldn’t be happier with the final result and are so grateful to have these memories preserved so thoughtfully.

When we had our initial meeting with Sam and Monica, we spent almost two hours with them getting to know them and sharing the vision of our wedding. They were so fun to chat with and get to know, that time went by so quickly. Vivere Visuals was the first and only photographer/videographer that we met with - right off the bat we got such a good feeling from them, they truly care about their couples and want to ensure they give them the best quality possible. Additionally, we've seen that Sam and Monica attending seminars and workshops to continue to hone their craft and be the best vendor they can be. We knew we could trust Sam and Monica with capturing our special day.

We booked them about 2 years out from our wedding date, but they did a great job of staying in touch and answering any questions we had along the way. When we had our engagement session, we instantly felt comfortable with them (they even let us get a few photos with our dog) and couldn't wait to reconnect on our wedding day. Also, the engagement photos? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

During our wedding day, Sam and Monica were such a fun and relaxed duo - they fit in great with our wedding parties (our bridesmaids and groomsmen loved them!) and were able to capture authentic moments because everyone felt comfortable. It was a bit warm on our wedding day, and Monica was always there with a fan to help cool me down. They really added to our wedding day, and we had such a great time with them!

The wedding photos are amazing and truly bring us back into the moment of that day. We couldn't be more thrilled with our photos and how they captured everything. Additionally, the videos are incredible quality and are such a great addition to the photos.

I could not recommend Sam and Monica/Vivere Visuals more! They are not only fantastic photographers/videographers, but truly great people! We appreciate all their hard work capturing our wedding day! :)

We talked to several photographers in our area before meeting Sam and Monica. They were relaxed and put us at ease while discussing details. We did an engagement session with Sam to get to know him better and make sure we would be happy come our wedding day. Not only did he keep us laughing, he got some fantastic pictures of us. Both Sam and Monica came out for the wedding and it was such a comfort having them and their experience there for us. They come super prepared and are on top of all the best pictures. We’re waiting for the final results but just know they’ll be as good or better than our engagement session. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.

There are truly no words to express how grateful we are to have chosen Samuel Walker Photography to capture our special day. We searched for a good while in trying to find the right fit for our wedding and they checked every box. Their communication is top notch, and they followed through with every single item we wanted or discussed! There have been countless people compliment Sam & Monica, from the day of the wedding, to now having all our videos and images. Not only are they insanely talented, but they are also an absolute blast to be around! Eddie and I would like to thank you both so much for capturing every moment. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos and videos the rest of our lives!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Samuel and Monica as our wedding photographers, and they were nothing short of phenomenal! From the very start, their super fun personalities and positive energy made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly accommodating, seamlessly working with our constantly changing schedule, which was a huge relief.

Their photography skills are truly exceptional. Every photo they captured was crisp, fun, and real, perfectly encapsulating the essence of our special day. We loved their work so much that we flew them across the country for our wedding, and we would do it again in a heartbeat. If you're looking for photographers who will make your day even more memorable and provide stunning photos, look no further than Samuel and Monica. We couldn't have picked better photographers!

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!!

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!

Sam and Monica are great people and amazing to work with. They take the time to understand what is important to you about your special day. Your likes, dislikes, etc. The communication and input from them was second to none. They helped us so much in the process of wedding picture planning and timelines during the big day. I could not recommend them enough! The pictures were amazing, they captured so many great moments that will forever be appreciated and loved. Hiring them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

We were VERY blessed to have Monica & Samuel photograph our wedding. Although we originally wanted to spend less on photography, YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET. Photos will last forever, and they are what you will be looking at for that long. It is worth NOT trying to skimp on the photography out of anything in a budget. That being said, Monica & Samuel were still very reasonable. They have great charisma, creativity in shoots (not the same poses over and over again), and we are absolutely in love with our photos. You will not go wrong booking them for your event!!!
