    Amazing Photographer! Highly Recommended!

    We were planning a very small ceremony and we had no idea where to start. We just needed an officiant which we were lucky enough to get on short notice and we happened to come across Samantha with All Occasion Photography. We took a chance and contacted her to see if she was available within a month's time. We needed someone for only an hour and she had a package that was perfect for us. Lucky for us, she was!! From the moment she first emailed us back, she was a complete joy to work with. She was always quick to respond and somehow knew exactly what we needed to capture our special day. She was in touch all the way up to day of the ceremony and sent us a text to let us know she was there and ready to capture wonderful memories for us. She was sweet, kind, easygoing and made the day so much fun. My husband and I aren't big picture people but she truly captured some amazing images and moments that will be captured in time forever. We can't thank her enough for being so great to work with and for being there for us every step of the way. Oh and she also offered to sign our marriage license which we were super stressed about as it was just the few of us. Thank you Samantha for all you did for us! We appreciate it more than you will ever know!

    Samantha is such a pleasure to work with!

    Samantha was absolutely fantastic! She answered every question we had (she was extremely prompt and professional over email and phone.) On the day of, her assistant and her really were just amazing. From getting all of the family photos we wanted, to squeezing in an outdoor session when we had just a short block of time, she and her team made sure that we had everything we asked for and more. She and her assistant are warm and friendly and just a great pleasure to work with. At one point, my wifes hair fell out of its updo before our outdoor photo sessions and her assistant helped her very calmly to put it back up. Also, Samantha always had great ideas for poses (none that were weird or made us uncomfortable!) and had a real eye for details. I remember her noticing that my sister had a rubber band on her hand in one of the family photos and politely nudging her to take it off – just an example of how she wants and makes sure that every photo is the best possible! And the photos were amazing – we really love them!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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 ♥

    Just saw our pictures from our wedding and we are very impressed. We felt heard by the photographer and did not feel pressured to do any poses we were not comfortable with. Great value for the price.

    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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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!!

    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).

    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!

    Samantha simply is the best, the experience she provides and the results she gives is unmatched!

    Samantha was our wedding photographer. After reviewing many photographers online, once I found her website, I stopped looking. I knew I had found my photographer. Everything is at your fingertips, and Samantha is fast with replies, whether it be before booking or after and even after our wedding! She emailed me a few days after with a sneak peek and a bullet point checklist with typical turnaround times etc. She even delivered early! Everything about Samantha was WAY beyond what we could have hoped for in a photographer. She is also a mini-planner, sending us all sorts of helpful tips before our day, helping us to prepare and feel calm and collected leading up to our day. Thank you so much Samantha! We can't say enough but know that you captured our day beautifully and flawlessly.

    Communicative, super easy to work with, very laid back and fun working with AOP

    Communication was great! Before during and after the wedding. The ladies were wonderful, polite and caring. We are so happy with how our wedding photos came out. Samantha and her assistant did a wonderful job. We chose her for her style and personality. She was very easy and fun to work with! Our wedding was short and sweet but she captured it all.

    Best wedding decision we made!

    We hired Samantha to be our wedding photographer, mainly for her style and affordability. She was worth so much more than our investment! She was always there answering questions, sending us helpful things to remember on our special day and she was professional, fun and easy going on our wedding day. We absolutely loved our wedding pictures and are recommending her to everyone we know getting married! Thank you for making our day so special!

    Beautiful Pictures!

    My wife and I love the pictures that Samantha took of our wedding. The snow on the trails made for a perfect backdrop and she captured some very tender moments! Highly recommend All Occasion Photography!

    Samantha and Chris were great! Super communicative beforehand and asked a lot of questions I hadn't even thought to consider. Our outdoor wedding ended up happening during a random June heat wave and everyone was sweaty and gross, but Samantha managed to make us all look great. Highly recommend!

    I had spent a lot of time comparing photographers before choosing Sam! She was very patient and answered all my questions. We won a free engagement session through her and fell in love with her style. We had tons of fun during that session and getting to know her. Up to the wedding she stayed in contact and continued to answer questions. The night of the wedding everything went very smoothly. The only issue I had was we didn’t get very many “fun” pictures of the wedding party or families. This could be because everything was so very rushed from ceremony to reception. Other than that we have zero complaints about our photos, Sam’s work or her business! We appreciate all she did for us.

    I found Samantha on Wedding Wire and don't regret it for a moment! Samantha was quick to respond to any email I sent, sometimes multiple emails in a day, even responding in the middle of the night! She was very flexible with scheduling and most of our communication was electronic which made for easy and convenient communication! As for her work, it is simply amazing. I was surprised and impressed at how quickly she managed to get the family shots with my family (38 people in all!). She was able to recommend a great place for outdoor pictures and was supportive of having our pictures taken in a bowling alley as well! Both her indoor and outdoor shooting skills are fantastic and I only wish I could work with her again! Plus, at the wedding she was taking a group shot of my friends and I, and when asked if she would take pictures with their cell phones, she didn't hesitate! Talk about professional, friendly, and just plain amazing! And finally we had our pictures back so fast!! I honestly can't say enough good things about her!

    Tom and I can't say enough positive things about All Occasion Photography! Samantha was always very quick to respond when I would get ahold of her to ask questions. Through the engagement sessions and the wedding I could not have asked for a better person and her second photographer was just as great! I will be definitely going back to her in the future and recommending her to anyone who asks!

    Samantha from All Occasion was absolutely amazing when it came to our wedding. She runs a good site that helped us communicate what we needed from a photographer and what she needed from us. We were very impressed with how quickly she worked and with the quality of her photos. My wife and I couldn't be happier and we couldn't have asked for more from All Occasion. We'll be sure to tell our friends who we went with!

    Samantha was great. She was very friendly, and professional. Her prices are low for the great quality she gives. You can tell she puts a lot into her work and she is reliable, getting back to every email you send her almost immediately. Highly recommended! Also, it is worth it to pay the extra money for a second person to join her to catch every beautiful moment.

    All Occasion Photography was extremely professional! The girls were great and we had so much fun. The pricing was the reason I called in the first place because it was more than reasonable and I was very pleased with our photos. The owner is knowledgeable about her business and takes her work very seriously all while showing compassion towards the needs of the bride and bridal party. I would recommend this photographer to everyone and anyone!

    Samantha was awesome!! She was very attentive in our interactions months before the wedding, and very accommodating on the payment schedule! On the day of the wedding she did everything I asked for and more, she was so laid back and personable that she blended right in with me and my wedding party while taking all of our photos. Her return time on our photos was amazing! Very affordable, and the pictures turned out beautiful.

    Samantha and her assistant were very helpful while taking formals after the ceremony and getting the shots that we wanted to capture our happiness on our wedding day. She responds quickly to emails, and it very accommodating. If you are looking to get quality photography without going completely broke, Samantha is the photographer for you. The pictures are amazing, my husband and I are very happy.

    We only used Samantha for our reception, as we had kind of a destination wedding. When we first talked on the phone, I felt this sense of calm with her. She answered ALL of my questions and assured me that she could do what I asked, which was to come to the reception and capture everything. I wanted all of the candid shots possible. I knew by then that we would be done with being posed (as we had done pictures at the church in Rochester earlier in the day for hours). She posed me only twice (YAY!) and literally captured it all. There are so many beautiful pictures to look back at and remember our special night. Honestly, I forgot she was there a lot of the time, as she stayed in the background and simply let the special moments happen. After the wedding, she communicated with me the next day and I had all of the pictures within a couple weeks (faster than she had promised!). I would recommend Samantha to anyone looking to capture an event.

    Compared to other photographers in the area, this photographer was one of the more cost friendly. I would have liked more directions in posing. I also would have like preceremony pictures at the venue like planned in order to photograph my sister putting my veil in my hair. She mentioned in paperwork leading up the wedding that she uses window light for these pictures and I think that would have been so nice to have. She was willing to meet us at the place of our choosing for first look photos and then go to the venue. I just wish there were more photos in general to choose from. Some of our wedding guests were able to capture some moments on their phone. I would have preferred more photos to choose from as I don't like my face from many angles. I will probably try to edit some of the photos to get rid of my double chin and lighten up my eyes. It is nice that I received zipfiles of the pictures to print off my copies. Samantha was very friendly and willing to try to whatever we came up with.

    I am very happy with our choice of All Occasion Photography for our wedding. Photography was not one of our top priorities so there wasn't a lot of room in the budget, but I did want to make sure that we got a few really good pictures to put in our home. Samantha was able to deliver on this at an amazing value compared to other photographers. She also did not charge any extra for giving us all of the digital prints, which I thought was nice. She was extremely nice and got some great shots throughout our wedding day.

    One area where I think she could improve is providing more direction, there were a number of times during our formal shots when she asked me what other shots I would like. While I appreciate having input into the process, I think it would have been better if she had scoped out good locations/lighting and directed us towards them as we had a lot of other things to think about that day.

    Overall, All Occasion Photography was a great vendor and I would recommend them to other couples looking for good photos that won't break the bank.

    Vendor was recommended by our officiant because I did not want to be required by photographer to pose for hours for formal shots. She charged a lower price than other vendors in the area. I asked for a few posed photographs and mostly candid photos. Sam provided many opportunities for communicating exactly what I wanted and the website was easy to use.

    I was disappointed how many photos featured the backs of heads and were otherwise poorly composed or backlit. The venue for my reception featured a number of windows and skylights and therefore had some great shadows and lighting that was captured in photos by friends and family but not the vendor. There were several acceptable photos. My recommendation is to detail exactly what you'd like to get the value from this vendor.

    Do not recommend

    Terrible experience, and I do not recommend the use of this company for your wedding. Our wedding day started off with the photographer (Samantha) calling the groom the incorrect name, which she later blamed was a system error; however, I find it extremely unprofessional that you don’t know anything about your clients (like their name) before attending their wedding. She came dressed inappropriately for a formal wedding in slide sandals, drawing the attention of many guests. In regards to services, she mentioned many times prior to our wedding about bringing a second photographer, which we then paid for their meal. However, an unforeseen circumstance arose, which is understandable, so the second photographer could not attend. She later told me this wasn’t included in my service, so why did she ever bring this up prior to our wedding and have us get a meal for them? Samantha then came unprepared and unorganized, so she clearly needs a second helper. We essentially had to stand/organize/coordinate ourselves without zero direction. Some pictures look absolutely terrible because of the spacing, which she did not address, and she did not come prepared with ANY shot ideas. She would only take one single shot (not a burst) so we have many pictures with peoples eyes closed, etc. so I only have one family picture that is usable. My bridesmaid had to sit down with her and try to get her organized. The shot ideas I did give her, were all ruined. On her QA she asked for shots you most want, don’t expect to get any of them. I wanted shots with every table at my wedding (only 10 tables), and she didn’t manage to do this either. Guests were totally cut out (not large tables, no more than 8 people at each), blurry, and the flash was present due to mirrors being in the room. She should have familiarized herself with the area before shooting a wedding here. The edits she gave back were terrible (attached an actual edit below). She used a black marker to cover up some items, and my husbands face is totally unrecognizable. Little things you would expect of your photographer like directing people how to stand, taking phones out of pockets, shot ideas, don’t expect this with her. Spend the extra money and go elsewhere for quality and organization to make your day stress free.
