    Samantha was a photographer, wedding planner and friend in one!

    Working with Samantha brought piece of mind to my event. From booking to receiving my photos, she was prompt, communicative and patient. She was open for suggestions and really focused on the minor details, that mattered most to my family and I. Absolutely booking with her again and sharing with all my friends!

    Corona Bride

    As a bride during Corona, my wedding planning was a series of unfortunate events. With changes happening every day, Sam was so easy to work with and understanding. She was supportive of us and there when we needed her most. Also, Sam was great at helping us stay on track during our wedding day. Her professionalism and politeness is just an added bonus to the great work that she does. Photo quality was great and was exactly what we were looking for.

    All Occasion Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Emily! it was my pleasure and even though this year has definitely been tough, I am so glad you were still able to have a small intimate wedding. You and Justin are so sweet and I wish you nothing but the very best!

    Super friendly and easy to work with!

    Samantha was great to work with. She made everything go very smoothly. We booked her after our first meeting over the phone. She went through her entire process and made everything crystal clear. She updated you pre and post-wedding to make sure you are informed throughout the process. The day finally came and Samatha and Kimberly were so friendly and easy to work with. The weather did not cooperate, but we improvised and Samatha and Kimberly still captured beautiful pictures. Samatha was able to send our final pictures two weeks after the wedding! We would recommend Samantha and her team! Thank you!

    All Occasion Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review Bryant. Kimberly and I loved being a part of yours and Kayla's wedding day. Wishing you both the very best in the future and we hope you will consider us for all your portrait needs in the future! Thank you so much!

    Samantha and Kimberly,

    Photographer and Planner in One

    As a first time bride, I was so overwhelmed. After a google search for local photographers, I found Samantha and her reviews and portfolio led me to her website, which immediately made me stop looking elsewhere. The quality of her work and the general appearance of her website was beautiful, plus most of my questions were answered just from her website before I even contacted her! She is very fast to reply, plus she has beautiful magazines full of all sorts of helpful information for wedding planning that she eased my mind right away! She was just wonderful to work with, easy to communicate too, very down to earth, friendly and fun. My bridal party and family loved working with her as well! We will definitely be recommending AOP! Thank you so much for capturing our special day!

    All Occasion Photography's reply:

    Thank you for your sweet words Traci! I really appreciate your review! It was an honor to be a part of your wedding day!

    Amazing photos, fun to work with, captured our day so well

    Oliva photographed our COVID microwedding, she was an absolute dream to work with. We had a blast. She was patient with my very nervous husband, and our over zealous dogs. She captured the moments candidly and perfectly. She made us feel natural and at home and took spectacular photos. She also was creative and gave us some pictures that I haven't seen from other wedding shots.

    Samantha was prompt, helpful and kind in organizing our tiny 8 person wedding at short notice. We even got our photos back so FAST and she was very accommodating 10/10 I would recommend All occasion photography to anyone

    Amazing photographer!

    Samantha is amazing. She is so down to earth and easy to get along with. She made sure I was at ease every step of the way, especially during the trying times of Covid, she made herself available by phone and email and was always quick to respond anytime I reached out. She was a huge help when it came to my big day and really keeps you on track throughout the entire process to ensure that you truly get everything you want photographed (she didn't miss a single thing and I got so much more in return😍). I did both engagement and wedding photos with her and I could not have been happier! Not only did I receive my photos quicker than anticipated, but the quality of her photos are wonderful, and she captured such beautiful portraits, details and candids that I will cherish for a lifetime. I literally cannot stop looking at my wedding album, it is like reliving the day all over again! I am still blown away by how perfect everything turned out. Thank you so much for everything! ❤

    Great Value and Awesome Team!

    Very flexible and understanding with all of the changes we had to make due to COVID restrictions. Sam was willing and able to change not only dates but also location when we found out we had to change our original plans. Both Sam and her assistant were great to work with!

    So so thankful we found Samantha and her team!

    Where do I even begin?! Samantha is a genuinely sweet young woman, with an eye for the most special candid moments. She treats you like you've been friends with her forever, yet has such a professionalism about her. When my husband and I saw her portfolio and read about her, we knew that we wanted her to photograph and document our recent wedding. She was so great in communicating with us through emails, since we were coming from out of town, and she made our time with her on our special day something we will remember always! She has a very long and successful career ahead of her, I know it! Couples are very blessed to have her be a part of their special day, when photographing those moments that they will have to cherish for the rest of their lives. Truly, we cannot say enough wonderful things about someone we feel so honored to have met ♥

    Effortless and Affordable

    Samantha and Olivia made the wedding process effortless for my husband and I. They were great at getting back to us with more than reasonable prices and quality of service. We instantly knew we were going to be happy with Samantha and Olivia with their couple surveys so we could get exactly what we wanted for two people who don't like their photos taken. Olivia was an awesome photographer who made us feel comfortable and at ease through the whole process. We could not wait to show off our photos to all our friends and family!

    Best photographer ever!!

    WOW! I don’t even know where to start. Samantha and Olivia were AMAZING. they were kind, funny, and fit right in with our group! They made sure we got lots of shots that were important to us, despite getting ready running late! I didn’t even notice them moving around our venue and guests, they were so stealthy and made sure to get tons of photos without impeding any of the activities! When it was time for portraits, we walked all over our venue and just chatted and laughed like old friends!! I can’t even put into words how much I appreciated them, how comfortable they made us feel in front of cameras, and how they kept our entire group laughing throughout the entire event!! We don’t have our photos yet, but our sneak peek was absolutely beautiful!! If you’re even THINKING about hiring AOP, DO IT. I can’t recommend them enough!! Thanks Sam for such an amazing experience, you guys are the best!!

    All Occasion Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Stephanie! Olivia and I have NEVER met such a fun, down to earth, sweet, and funny couple like you two!! We are soooo happy that you chose us and are so happy with the experience. I love taking care of my brides, and couldn't do it without Olivia as well, you helped make our job easy on your wedding day! Wishing you the very best and we hope to work with you again for family portraits!

    Excellent Eye

    Samantha has a unique style. She captures your special day in a way that make you feel as though you are there again when you look at the photos. She was on time, professional, and easy to get a long with. She took about 900 and something photos in three hours. She is affordable and gets the photos to you pretty quick! I would recommend her to anyone looking for something other than posed formal photos (although she does those well too).

    Best, high valued, yet affordable photographer!

    Samantha was the best! She photographed our wedding, helped coordinate our day and helped us plan. We can't thank her enough for all her help. Samantha is affordable, down to earth, the girl next door, she fit right into our group. She was very easy to talk to and work with, she captured everything we wanted including many moments we missed, and everyone won't stop commenting about her and our photos! My entire bridal party loved her too! We will definitely be recommending her to anyone needing a photographer. She makes the process so smooth and is also easy to reach.

    Best Vendor We Worked With

    Samantha and Olivia were fantastic! They did everything to make our day run smoothly and captured every important moment that day. Turnaround time was amazing and we loved all our photos! Response time was quick and she sent tips throughout the planning process. Definitely would recommend this vendor and will use her in the future!

    Fun and easy to work with, beautiful pictures


    Samantha was our wedding photographer and even though our family made things chaotic, Samantha stayed calm, took control and family formals were still done in under 30 minutes as planned. She captured all the events of your special day, including a lot of fun candids and beautifully styled details. Our pictures our amazing and we can't thank her enough! We definitely recommend AOP.

    Samantha was awesome!

    We highly recommend Samantha. She was very easy and comfortable to work with and she captured all of the emotions and all of the key moments of our day so well. After our formal pictures, we asked that she do candid shots. She knew exactly who to photograph and when. She did a great job! The photos were available much quicker than we thought and they are beautiful.
    Thank you Samantha!
