As a former wedding photographer myself, I assure you Sam Chinigo is one of the most genuinely talented photographers you will ever find!
Where do I even begin to put into words how grateful I am that a true artist such as Sam exists? Even 6 months after my wedding, as I look through every image from our big day, I am in awe of his artistry and talent. If you are looking for the real deal, look no further than Sam Chinigo! As a young aspiring wedding photographer in my early 20’s, I followed Sam’s work for inspiration. Back then I knew he was special, as he stood out from the rest with his unparalleled uniqueness in perspective and creativity. At that time, I told myself if the day ever came that I had the opportunity to walk down the aisle, I knew he would be the photographer for the job. When my now husband proposed 14 years later, I immediately knew who to call. Sam is not only great behind the lens, but he has an amazing easy-going personality. His humor and wit will put any nervous bride at ease. I honestly had so much fun with the shoot prior to the ceremony, I almost forgot I was getting married. When it came to the finished product, Sam crushed it! Every emotion was meticulously captured with such thought, allowing us to relive every moment as if it were unfolding right in front of us. The only challenge I have now is that we need a larger house with more wall space because we can’t possibly narrow down all of our favorites from the day. This day and age, it can be difficult to discern who is a truly a capable photographer since photoshop can fix many flaws. Rest assured, Sam has the utmost raw genuine talent in his field and you will not find a more passionate artist.Where do I even begin to put into words how grateful I am that a true artist such as Sam exists?

Where do we even begin?! We first found Sam at the beginning of our wedding planning and from day one he was resourceful, helpful and beyond nice. Our wedding was rescheduled multiple times and then ultimately canceled due to the pandemic - yet Sam was understanding throughout the entire chaotic process. We knew we still wanted Sam to capture our special moment, even though it was not going to be how we originally imagined it. It ended up being 10x better than we imagined. Sam recommended having a post wedding photoshoot and WOW!!! The location he found for us was spectacular. Upon meeting Sam we were instantly comfortable, even my husband who usually avoids the camera at all costs, was following Sams lead blindly. His talent is beyond words. This entire experience is one we will cherish for years to come. We spent the entirety of the session, laughing and genuinely enjoying ourselves. We left the session having complete faith that these photos will be what we dreamt of and more. He was able to capture our love in each photo. We are already looking forward to the next event that Sam can capture. We HIGHLY recommend Sam, his talents and his extremely charismatic personality.Where do we even begin?!

Honored to work with the best
Put simply, Sam is the best. From the moment we first met with Sam in November 2019, he made us feel at ease. He is very friendly and we felt that he was able to make us forget we were even doing a photo shoot as we took our engagement photos. On our wedding day, Sam was very efficient and quick but not in a pushy way that could have made us, our wedding party, or guests feel uncomfortable or in the way. Sam also is very good at balancing the shots he wants to make sure he gets or thinks of while also listening to and executing our thoughts and ideas as well. He captured our whole day beautifully and we have wasted no time decorating our new home in his photos. If you are considering anyone else for your wedding photos, please don't. Go with Sam. He captures memories in such beautiful ways, and we know we will treasure his images for years to come. I guarantee you will not be disappointed by Sam, and we simply cannot thank him enough for joining us for our day and sharing his talent with the world.Put simply, Sam is the best.

Sam was incredibly easy to work with. In general, his work is amazing. However, what we really found impressive is Sam's ability to jump into any given scenario, work with multiple personality types and how he was able to facilitate so many people in an effort to keep things moving in time to capture the best shots. You will not regret booking with Sam! We cannot wait to preview our photos but feel confident in leaving this review prior to doing so because we are so confident in Sam's abilities and experience. We witnessed it first hand! Thank you for everything, Sam!Sam was incredibly easy to work with. In general, his work is amazing.

Sam isn't just a photographer, he's a story-teller with photos!
He was very professional, gave easy direction and made sure we were able to enjoy our day without having to pull us away for pictures.
I would definitely recommend!Sam isn't just a photographer, he's a story-teller with photos!

From the moment we started searching for all our wedding vendors, the photography component was our most important one. After the event has come and gone, one is left with photos that allow you to relive a feeling, a moment in time. How does one decide who to trust ? I needed the right person to capture this significant life event.
Sam was brought to my attention through a recommendation from a friend. After reviewing his website and mission, I immediately hired him. In a time with an over abundance of wedding photographers, choosing someone can be quite overwhelming. Sam is not your run of the mill artist. Photography is his life, his PASSION. His creative vision is like no other I've encountered previously. This is clearly shown through his work. Besides the beautiful final items he delivered, Sam is so easy to work with. His fun spirit, witty nature, communication skills, and eagerness to please, made us so grateful we found him. Not to mention, his prices are reasonable and affordable, not outrageous like most. I realize these are all words from a stranger. So here are only a few examples of why he's amazing....
-He arrived early and stayed late. No one asked him to. He did that on his own.
-My guests LOVED his warm, friendly nature
-He made me feel very comfortable and at ease
-I sent him examples of photos I wanted to try and capture... he nailed them all!
Bottom line... we couldn't be happier. Hire this man. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Sam.From the moment we started searching for all our wedding vendors, the photography component was our most important one.

We chose Sam because multiple family members had used him as their wedding photographer with great results. Sam was very careful to make sure that he knew exactly what we wanted and what areas of the day that we wanted to focus the most on. He was able to capture the whole day perfectly without us even knowing that he was there most of the time. He photographed each guest having an amazing time without having to "stage" photos and interrupt conversations or dancing. Sam has a fantastic and creative eye and we were lucky to get to work with him. We are extremely happy with the end result and look forward to having these memories forever!We chose Sam because multiple family members had used him as their wedding photographer with great results.

From the start of my wedding planning, photography was one area that was extremely important to me. I wasn't looking for the average wedding photographer, I was looking for someone who had a creative eye in photography and show stopping abilities. Once coming across Sam's work I knew I had found my match! From my first conversation with Sam, my mind was put at ease, he is extremely friendly and personable, very witty, relaxed and was open and flexible to all of my requests. He was very responsive to all of our communication up until our wedding day. He arrived early and stayed later than expected, trying to catch every perfect moment. Sam doesn't only capture moments, he captures emotions. Sam's work is artistic, unique and complete perfection! Sam is the best and I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks Sam!

We came upon Sam through a friends recommendation and could not have been happier. He is a gifted artist who photographed our wedding and all of the details exactly the way I had hoped. In addition to the traditional pictures you'd expect, he captured all the special moments I wanted but never would have thought of taking. He was quick with an initial response, easy to talk to leading up to our day and fun to work with. I would without hesitation recommend Sam Chinigo as a wedding photographer or for any event you would like to remember.We came upon Sam through a friends recommendation and could not have been happier.

The decision of who you will trust to capture the most important day of your life is not an easy one. When meeting Sam, I felt like we had a great conversation that flowed naturally. He answered as many questions as I had and brought great examples of his work. He was professional and courteous from our first meeting up through our wedding day and even beyond! He is very timely with his responses which was important to me. We loved the photos from our engagement session on Block Island and while it felt like it was one of the hottest days of the summer, Sam just kept going with us! Our wedding photos were simply breathtaking and having to choose the ones for our album was not an easy feat as we loved them all. Sam was also very attentive to things I told him. Making sure to capture specific shots from my parents wedding day or just really cool poses from Pinterest was something he did not forget to do. He is a pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed with your decision of picking Sam as the guy to capture this moment in your life! We can't wait to revive our wedding album but we already know it will be GREAT!!The decision of who you will trust to capture the most important day of your life is not an easy one.

I honestly believe in 'you get what you pay for' especially with photography. Sure, he may not be the cheapest price around, but do you want to remember your special day with crap pictures? I didn't think so. Just take a look at the amount of awards he's won and you'll want to shoot an email his way! Incredibly nice guy, honest, and an absolute professional. Worth every penny. :)I honestly believe in 'you get what you pay for' especially with photography.

Sam was a pleasure to work with. His talent of capturing moments with a more artistic flair is incredible. We found him through a friend who had used him for her wedding. He did our engagement and wedding photos. He made us feel so comfortable even when we felt awkward having our picture taken. His approach is much more natural and noninvasive which we loved. We felt he definitely captured the real us. We can't stop smiling every time we look at our pictures. He's a funny easygoing person to be around which also helped us be less nervous and more natural. He exudes excitement and love for what he does which comes across in his work.Sam was a pleasure to work with. His talent of capturing moments with a more artistic flair is incredible.

Sam was exceptional to work with. He came highly recommended by a family friend and we love his "non cookie-cutter" style. He answered all of our questions over the phone before booking. We also met in person to look at locations for day of photos. On the day of, Sam photographed me getting ready and his assistant photographed my husband. He was very professional and made everything feel natural. He made everyone feel comfort and did not "force" photos. Sam has such a great eye for a fun style, but also allows suggestions. He knew photos were really important to me and captured so many amazing moments that will be framed in my house. It makes taking photos more enjoyable when your photographer is having fun with you. Sam even stayed until the end of our wedding because he said he was having so much fun watching our family and friends dancing. This was greatly appreciated since my husband and I were surprised with sparklers and Sam was there to catch the moment. Sam also is very quick to turn around photos. We got our online gallery in less than a month after our wedding. I would absolutely recommend Sam to anyone who wants fun, memorable, modern and stunning photos all along a delightful experience.Sam was exceptional to work with.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sam beginning last year at our engagement session. His great sense of humor and creative flair made us feel very comfortable and at ease. This was the beginning of what has become a pleasant and professional working experience as well as a friendship with Sam. The quality of his work is amazing and he was quite reliable and easy to work with. He helped make our wedding experience even more magical and our family, friends and wedding party took a liking to Sam immediately. Overall, we were more than satisfied with Sam and would highly recommend him!My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sam beginning last year at our engagement session.

Working with Sam was great! He made everything so easy, and we had a great time even after our faces hurt from smiling so much. He answered all our questions quickly, and was easy to get in touch with. The pictures came out great, we have absoultly no complaints. I would definately recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer.Working with Sam was great! He made everything so easy, and we had a great time even after our faces hurt from smiling so much.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
From the first day we met Sam Chinigo we knew he was the photographer for our big day. During our visit with Sam at a coffee shop we spent well over an hour just chatting about general topics along with his services which made us feel like we had a connection and knew him for years. His work is absolutely amazing and words can’t express his talent. From our engagement pictures to our wedding day we were very impressed with the final results. Not only is Sam amazing at what he does but he has a great personality and very professional to work with. The photographer was top on our list and we met with several but not one meet the quality of Sam's work. My husband and I are very greatfull for all Sam has provided for us and would highly recommend him to anyone. His work is truly one of a kind!

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge a meaningful act of compassion that should be considered when selecting a photographer for any personal occasion. I fell in love with Sam Chinigo’s artistic flair for wedding photography immediately and felt lucky beyond words that such an accomplished award-winning photographer had our wedding date available. I instantly booked the date and became excited talking over all the details with Sam; he’s personal, engaged and you can tell this is his passion, not just his means of employment. I couldn’t wait for our wedding and was excitedly planning the engagement photo shoot when I had to make the most difficult phone call I had ever made. I called Sam and barely squeaked out the words that my fiancé called off the wedding before dissolving into tears. Sam responded like a friend and not just a ‘wedding vendor’ offering condolences and support. He offered a warmth and humanity that wasn’t received when other vendors were contacted and even offered to work with me about the retainer. Sam’s work speaks for itself, but the compassion he demonstrated sets him apart from others. When it comes down to a momentous occasion such as one’s wedding, this matters; I cannot speak highly enough of Sam as a professional and as a person.I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge a meaningful act of compassion that should be considered when selecting a photographer for any personal occasion.
