    Better than we could have dreamed

    I wish I could give Rick and Liz an infinite amount of stars. Rick did our engagement and wedding photos and Liz did videography for our wedding; we truly could not be happier with our experience. They so perfectly captured our day, the spirit of the event, the emotions throughout, the pure joy, everything. They got all of the details, angles, light, and we all had fun doing it! Rick gave us a collection of polaroid photos at the end of the night too, and it was so special to be able to have something tangible that immediately. Rick also delivered our album within 48 hours of the wedding - which is absolutely MIND BLOWING given the exceptional quality AND quantity of photos we received. Our jaws were on the floor the entire time we looked at the album. We absolutely LOVE every single photo. Everyone we've shown photos to has said they look like the belong in a wedding magazine, and we could not agree more! Their work is gorgeous, timeless, and powerful. Looking at the photos, you can feel the joy, excitement, happy tears, laughter. Feelstory was one of the first vendors we booked and, aside from marrying my husband, was the best decision we made throughout the planning process. We are so, so grateful we found Rick and Liz; they truly captured the essence of our day, our love, and our family. Honestly. I would recommend them to anyone 100 times over if you want an incredible experience, an incredible team, and an incredible result.

    A Masterful Symphony of Light and Emotion

    We had Rick for our wedding and engagement photography. He is very easy to work with, listened to all our requests, he loves what he do and even offered a secondary shooting for our engagement. He worked well with our videographer. I had so much stress on the wedding day and we ran late on time, but Rick was there 30 minutes earlier, looking at our pictures it almost feels as if there was a team of thirty people behind the camera, each dedicated to capture every possible angle and expression. Thank you so much Rick for making our day unforgettable🙏

    Amazing and Very Professional (Wedding and Engagement)

    Engagement and Wedding photo shoots.

    We had the most amazing experience with Rick!
    From the moment we met for our engagement pictures he made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, which was important for us because I'm usually pretty camera shy. During the shoot, Rick gave us a bunch of different options and poses and different lighting setups to work with. He was very patient and accommodating with all my requests. It was clear that he really cared about capturing the best possible shots and making sure that We were happy with the results. What really blew us away was how quickly he was able to turn around our photos!
    Rick gave us the most amazing photo retouched and ready in less than 24 hrs. I was completely blown away by the quality of the photo - it was clear that he put a lot of time and effort into making sure it looked perfect.
    Overall, I would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a personalized, high-quality photography experience. He really took the time to make us feel comfortable and happy with the final product, and We couldn't be more thrilled with the way our photos turned out. If you're looking for a photographer who truly cares about their clients and their craft, look no further!

    Professional, fun, and really damn good at their jobs

    We hired Rick and his wife for a photographer/Videographer duo. Not only can you tell they enjoy their jobs but you can tell they enjoy giving people the finished product too! I went to GA&D tech school and it was nice connecting with 2 people who appreciated the job as much as me. Rick and his wife are the real deal. We, and our entire family, are so happy with the service, and product they have given us. Thanks so much you 2! Quick response time, good ideas and imagination for photography, good communication and reasonable prices.

    Incredible Photos and Video!

    We found Samos Photography online and immediately fell in love with their photography style. We had Rick and Liz do our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and video and could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out! Rick is insanely fast at returning the edited photos to you and also provides you with the raw footage as well (not all photographers do this!) All-in-all everything from the quality of the photos/video themselves, the level of service Rick and Liz provide, and the price of it all cannot be beat. I would happily recommend Samos Photography in an instant.

    Incredible Wedding Photographer!

    Rick is absolutely incredible! He is so talented and very creative -- you can tell that this is his passion. My husband and I are both nervous in front of the camera, and Rick made us feel so comfortable; we had a blast working with him! Great communication too--he responds very fast to emails and calls and helped us create a photo timeline for our day, which was so helpful too. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous. You can see the joy and love from our day in every single photo. We also loved working with Liz, Rick's wife, during our wedding day -- she was our videographer! Our wedding video is absolutely stunning. Rick & Liz are a power couple. You'll definitely want them to capture your special day.

    Perfect Photographer

    Literally couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture both our engagement session and wedding day. Rick is incredibly talented, kind, and fast. Definitely hope to work with Rick again in the future.

    Spectacular

    Where do we begin? Working with Samos Photography has been beyond amazing. We started looking for a photographer/videographer right when we picked our date- 600 some days before we actually got married. Looking at their work, I was blown away and knew I wanted them to capture my wedding.

    During the booking process, I had a video call with Rick to get to know him and be sure we were a good fit. We discussed what to expect from them and what we wanted. Once I knew we were, we went ahead and booked.

    In addition, I did a boudoir shoot with Rick before the wedding for my husband to open the day of the wedding. Rick made the process so comfortable and easy. He was so encouraging and worked to ensure I felt good. The pictures were beyond AMAZING. I got them back the next day and was able to use them immediately. One of the most empowering things I have done.

    Fast forward to the wedding- I was nervous about only having one photographer and one videographer, but they reassured me it would be ok! They were right! There wasn’t one moment that I felt they weren’t “right-there” capturing it. They knew what they were doing and moved around the venue and event so flawlessly. Rick and his wife communicated well and moved as one unit. They were able to get all the shots we wanted.

    One thing I loved about the pair was that they were able to direct you so they could get the best shot. I don’t consider myself or my husband photogenic- so they were able to use their expertise to position the best images. When you hire Samos Photography, you are hiring a team that knows what they are doing and will go above and beyond to ensure you get the best out of their service.

    We are so thankful for the experience. We loved working with them and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something truly spectacular.

    Amazing photos, smooth process

    Rick did an amazing job on our wedding photos (and engagement pictures). He was responsive throughout the planning process and offered helpful feedback when creating our timeline. He showed up early on the wedding day and immediatley got to work snapping photos. He has such a creative eye and takes a lot of unique shots, while making sure to get all the main staple pictures. He was very flexible throughout the day with any last minute changes to the timeline and was always right where we wanted him to be, without being disruptive to the moment such as our first look, first dance, during the ceremony. He does a great job providing positive feedback during photos such as saying "you look so good!" which makes everything feel more natural/fun and less awkward. We got our photos back super quickly too! One of the best perks is getting all the raw photos at the end and he gives you the option to have any extra ones edited. Everyone who has seen our photos was extremely impressed and I would definitley recommend him.

    Love Samos Photography!!

    We did our engagement and wedding photos with Samos Photography, and I can't say enough how wonderful they turned out. Rick is very creative when guiding you through different photos. He is incredibly responsive, which eased my wedding planning nerves. Their turnaround time on pictures is faster than anyone I've heard of, and they are also very affordable compared to other photographers/videographers. One thing I love is that Rick always captures moments, not just posed positions. You can feel the joy and love in every photo, and it takes me right back to my wedding day.

    We also did videography for the wedding - Liz was wonderful to work with (they are a husband & wife duo!). We can't wait to see the finished product, as all their other videos are amazing.

    Stunning photography!

    In summary, book this photographer!!! We worked with Rick for our engagement and wedding photos and they all turned out absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend him enough for his professionalism, creativity, and beautiful photography. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My family and I have been looking at the photos daily since the wedding because we can't get over how perfectly they captured the day. We are thrilled to be working with him again next summer for my sister's wedding.

    Amazing workkk

    I came across Samos Photography on Instagram from a friend that I followed. She had her wedding pictures done by him and honestly in that moment I fell in love with his work. Over the months, I kept observing his work and I can say I knew he was the one to take my engagement pictures. I reached out to him and gave him an idea of what I wanted done. He knew exactly what I wanted and did it perfect. My wedding was suppose to happen in March, but unfortunately due to the Corona … See More

    Amazing Work!

    Rick did an absolutely amazing job with the photography at our wedding! We love our photos and he captured every moment perfectly. On top of the edited photos, he also gave us all of the unedited photos which was important to us. Would highly recommend!

    Captured our day beautifully!

    Rick & Liz were so great to work with! They were super communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process & were very easy to work with! They were prompt the day of our wedding & got right to work & stayed throughout the whole contracted time. We got our photos back quickly & we cannot stop posting them, they turned out beautifully! We love their photography style & they captured our day beautifully. Both Rick & Liz had great ideas to get great & natural poses throughout & strived to give us quality photos. We cannot wait to see how our video turns out & I will definitely return to update the review once we receive it! We're so excited to see what Liz is coming up with for us so we can relive our wedding day for years and years to come! Thank you Samos Photography for capturing our day & who we are as a couple so perfectly!

    EDIT: Our wedding video was nothing short of fabulous! If you’re wondering if it’s worth adding videography, my opinion is ABSOLUTELY. Liz did a beautiful job with the video & we haven’t stopped watching it since we received it! It came promptly as promised as well, just a couple weeks after our photos came in! My husband & I would highly recommend Samos Photography to any couple looking for their day to be captured beautifully. 🤍

    The best there is

    I hired Rick as my photographer and his wife, Liz as my videographer for our big day. They simply are amazing. They work together as a team to get the best shots to help capture the moment. Rick is amazing at facilitating emotion....not just your typical "portrait" photo. The emotion that he gets to shine through a photo is something to cherish. Liz is such a sweetheart....she is an amazing videographer. I am blown away at the highlight film she put together...simply breathtaking. The most unique thing about these two is 1. how quickly you get your photo/video back and 2. all of the raw unedited photos/film you receive. The best there is....so thankful for them and their beautiful talent

    Fabulous and Efficient

    We had a very small wedding, 16 people, and Rick caught all of the special moments and took wonderful shots. He was instructive as well as flexible. Is there was anything special we wanted to do, he said yes. He also found all of the little special nooks and great lighting areas; all of our photos are fantastic. Thank you so much, Rick! We appreciate everything you did to capture our special day.

    Amazing Photos!

    I can’t recommend Rick enough. Our photos were absolutely stunning. Your wedding day is so packed and hectic; Rick was a pleasure to spend the day with. He was fun, flexible, and professional.

    I can’t say enough good things about the quality of our photos. Even better, he got the photos back to us within three days (with another wedding in between!). We loved sharing the pictures and reliving the day so quickly. Thanks for everything, Rick!

    Rick is the best around!

    Rick was incredible to work with from engagement photo shoot through to our wedding day. He communicated clearly and often, he worked with us on the timeline, was flexible to meet our needs and most importantly he took some absolutely beautiful photos for us; both candid and staged. It seemed he knew exactly where to place us to get perfect lighting, background, shadows, everything. The most impressive thing out of all of it was how quickly he turned around edits and got us access to digital copies and the gallery we could request additional edited photos from, it was less than 24 hours for both the engagement shoot and the wedding!!

    I could not be happier with my experience and if anyone is looking for a wedding photographer you should start and end here, Rick is the best around.

    Amazing session!

    Literally. The. Best. photographer in Columbus. I had my engagement photos down by Rick and we loved our pictures so much we wanted to use him for our wedding but due to covid we ended up canceling. We got dressed up and had a portrait session instead and our photos turned out amazing! We love them and are so grateful!

    WOW! Where do I even start? I did my engagement photos and wedding day photos with Samos Photography, and it was the best decision I HAVE EVER MADE! Rick is truly ONE OF A KIND! It's amazing watching him work, and he simply just knows what he is doing. He knows how to direct, be creative, and think outside of the box. My pictures were done in 2 days... 2!!! WOW! My pictures are the best thing we spent money on! I could never thank Samos Photography enough!

    A dream come true

    My husband and I got married in quite possibly the most unpredictable year (Nov. 7, 2020) -- and speaking as a "Covid Bride," who is also a perfectionist ~let's be real~ I was OCD about every little detail~ ;) One thing that was for 110% certain was our experience working with the Samos Team. Because when it comes down to every other little wedding detail, you want your photographer and videographer to be the best -- and Rick and his lovely wife Liz were exactly that!

    Not only are they EXTREMELY talented, they are so warm and genuine to be around. My husband and I felt completely relaxed and comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding day working with their team.

    As a pass Miss Ohio USA, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with photographers and videographers from all across the country. The Samos Team was a complete joy to work with; professional, responsive, all while capturing beautiful photos.

    Extending my most gracious thank you for taking record of the most precious day. (Is there a 6 star rating?)

    Amazing eye for creativity!

    Rick is very responsive and has such a creative eye. We loved the photos from our engagement and wedding! I got my photos so fast, about 2-3 days! My only regret was not making enough time for the park photos for a beautiful background, I allotted about 2 hours of photography and who knew with weddings that still isn't enough time! I wish I could've put this as a priority rather than worry about other stuff because photos are your memories!!

    Simply Amazing!!

    Rick was the perfect photographer for our big day!! He was so easy to work with and from the moment he arrived at the venue he was snapping pictures! Rick did an amazing job at working with us for the shots we wanted and made sure to get a variety during the whole day. His photography is beautiful and everyone who has seen our photos has already complimented him and his talent! He was so easy to work with and affordable for the amazing quality he delivers! We hope to use him for our future photography needs and cannot recommend him enough!
