    Obsessed!

    I had the pleasure of working with Sammi and let me tell you, she was so sweet, so positive and so fun! She worked extremely well with my photographer and was just a breath of fresh air and helped me stay calm on such a naturally chaotic day!

    Truly unmatched photog/videog team!

    Sammi mainly focuses on weddings but during covid was offering family sessions and after seeing how amazing ours turned out we just knew we had to book her once we got engaged. She is so nice and truly went out of her way to make sure she got every single shot. I had never met her videographer before but Tessa was amazing as well. She had so many cute/cool ideas and every time she showed me the magic she got on her camera I was in awe. Both Sammi and Tessa hyped me up literally all day and night and you could tell they meant it.. they weren’t just saying it “bc it was their job” or “to be nice”. Their prices were very fair and if you check out their work you’ll see that they’re worth a million bucks. Please please do not skimp on photography or videography for the day of your wedding. There’s lots of ways/places to save money and this is not one of them! Highly highly highly suggest hiring these two ladies for your big day! Thank you so much!! - Jacy Hendle

    Absolutely beyond!

    I am someone that has to vet everything I do, especially when it came to booking wedding vendors. I was very careful when picking a photographer because I had no idea what a good wedding photographer meant... and I wanted to make sure they looked nice and processional while also capturing all the special candid moments.

    Sammi was so patient though my "vetting process" as I asked countless questions about different packages, locations, and more.
    I loved that A couple weeks before our wedding we met for drinks to discuss important photos / moments we wanted captured. I WAS SO NERVOUS!! However, there was no need to be. Sammi guided us every step of the way! She was amazing on the day of the wedding too. She was very calm and go with the flow and super accommodating to standard wedding day chaos!

    I've only received my sneak peak so far, however, let me tell you, they are ABSOLUTELY BEYOND amazing. I can't wait to see the rest. Trust me when I say, you will not regret working with Sammi. I hope to book her for future family portraits!!

    Best photographer/videographer team ever!

    Sammi Benson and her videographer did such an amazing job at my wedding on Halloween! They were so fun to work with and can truly capture the perfect moments of your wedding day! Sammi goes above and beyond and is super sweet and professional and can I just say her work is truly breathtaking! You need to hire her ASAP because you will not regret all the jane dropping images from your special day!!!! Thanks Sammi!!!!

    Great Service, Rain or Shine

    We had met the owner of Fine Detailed Photography, Sammi for our engagement photos, at which point she was helpful and flexible and helped us make the most of gale-force winds and below freezing temperatures to get some beautiful photos.
    For our wedding, we had canceled the big celebration due to Covid-19 concerns, and decided with a few weeks to spare to do a small backyard wedding. Sammi got back to us immediately and was available and super responsive as we tried to pull everything together so quickly. She was again a joy to work with, even on a hot and humid day.
    I can now say with certainty that Sammi will make your day beautiful rain or shine, freezing wind or blazing heat. We are 100% happy with our decision!

    Fine Detailed Collective's reply:

    I honestly can’t say enough about you two as a couple and the opportunity of working with you both. You’re just lovely inside and out and it was my pleasure to photograph both your engagement and your small backyard wedding. Cheers to you both! Thank you for choosing to work with me :)

    Fantastic and a joy to work with!

    We are so happy we chose Sammi at Fine Detailed Photography to capture our wedding day. She was so accommodating with it being a COVID-19 wedding (that was rescheduled and being planned in just 2 weeks). She was professional and made everybody feel comfortable the day of. We were blown away by her ability to adjust to the varying locations and lighting during our ceremony, as it was a challenge with some difficult weather! We also appreciated how she was able to direct us during photos and get some truly great shots. If you're looking for someone who can roll with whatever the day brings and provide some beautiful and creative photos, we highly recommend Fine Detailed Photography!

    Outstanding Work

    I can't say enough good things about working with Sammi. We were married on Feb 22, 2020 and we worked with Sammi through our engagement photos and on our wedding day. She is creative, professional, and willing to work with you on any ideas you may have. She has so many interesting photo and video techniques that she uses as well that create beautiful, unique photos. We received our engagement photos a week or so after our photoshoot and we have been obsessed with them ever since. We're still waiting to receive our wedding photos and video (although we did receive a few amazing teaser photos from it so far), but I am confident that they will be beautiful. Thank you for your amazing work, Sammi!

    Phenomenal

    My husband and I eloped 10 years ago. For our anniversary, we contacted Fine Detailed Photography to recreate a wedding video and photographs from the day. From start to finish Sammi was phenomenal. The ease of contacting her, picking a date, shooting the content, receiving the incredible material - it was all amazing. We were absolutely blown away with the final product, and it means so much to us to have this video and these images. They exceeded our expectations in all the best ways. Tears of joy and watching the video on repeat definitely happened!! Sammi is incredibly talented, personable, and one of the most genuine and kind hearted human beings we have ever met. The pride she takes in her work, along with the love and consideration she shows her clients is unmatched! Thank you, Fine Detailed Photography. We will forever be a client of yours!

    Loved working with them!

    Sammie and Linnea was so easy to work with! They listen to your requests and provide expert advise! We are so happy with the pictures and wished we could have paid double to get double the amount of pictures! even though they already gave us over 500 high quality photos! The video made us cry and thought of our special day all over again. If I were to give any advise to those who are considering to hire them, it would be to pay for the top package so everything on that day will be reflected on the photos as if they were taken from your own eyes and a vision of your day in your photos that you will cherish forever!

    A truly amazing duo

    Sammi and Linnea followed us through our entire journey, beginning with our engagement. Sammi was able to catch some of our most treasured moments in both the engagement and marriage. She is a truly gifted photographer. Linnea was able to videograph for us and she was also incredible. She captured, edited and produced the best parts of our wedding day and gave us a video that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Both were amazingly talented, relatable, and knowledgeable through everything. Thank you!

    Fine Detailed Photography

    This was a fantastic experience, and I would recommend Sammi and Fine Detailed Photography to anyone that I know. The turn around time was amazing, the quality of our photos was amazing, but even more so she was fun and very professional. We would recommend Fine Detailed Photography time and time again to capture your most special moments. We were lucky to have hired Fine Detailed Photography for our wedding day!
