    Sam captured the day with creativity and imagination. He made great use of the home interior and exterior for the "getting ready shots". And he really caught the joy of the day in the candids of the outdoor ceremony, the dinner, and reception celebration. And he was able to really make bride and groom as well as all the family look their best in the posed shots.

    His experience as a photojournalist really showed in his shooting techniques, his use of lighting and ability to be where the shots were.

    Sam showed up early and stayed late - and had the images back to us in about 15 days.
    We are very pleased.

    We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sam on our wedding day. He was extremely laid back, very creative, and inconspicuously caught every special moment throughout the day. Sam definitely took the lead and showed us his creativity ability, but was also open for our input and willing to take whatever pictures we wanted as well. He was a trooper the whole 12-hour day, even if that meant taking pictures for over 5 hours in 101+ degree heat! Sam amazingly captured really special moments that only lasted a split second, and all of his photos show an unbelievable amount of emotion.

    After the wedding, Sam had a sneak peek posted online within a few days and all of our photos to us to view within a week! When we saw our photos for the first time, the only thing we could say was, “Wow!” We have shown our wedding pictures to several people already, and the recurring feedback is, “Those are the best wedding photos we have ever seen! Who was your photographer?" We have no hesitation recommending Sam to our friends and look forward to using him for additional photo shoots in the future!

    Sam, thank you again for capturing such amazing moments and giving us photographs we will cherish forever!

    Sincerely,
    Thomas and Christina

    Sam was awesome to work with. We had a great time and he managed to get my husband to even enjoy taking the pictures. I love our pictures.

    Sam was the perfect photographer for our wedding, which was really important to us. After the day is over, all you have left are the memories and the pictures, right? His photographs are gorgeous, and he has a knack for catching those candid, genuine moments. Most of my favorite pictures of his are the ones where I wasn't aware of the camera.

    He put in over a 12 hour day for us, without complaint, rush, or nickel and diming us per hour (as some other photographers like to do). He was accommodating throughout the entire process and was so much fun to work with. We got our photographs mere weeks after our wedding, and have the right to the images, which again was very important to us. Sam was one of our very favorite vendors from our wedding, and was absolutely the perfect choice.

    Sam is an amazing artist. He worked very hard for over over 10 hours. He caught moments that I missed and I'm so thankful for that. He got every picture I asked for, never complained and was never pushing me hurry. He hung right in there all night. Well worth every penny!

    Sam created a wonderful journey from start to finish of my daughter's wedding day through his photography. He captured the emotions of the day beautifully. The bride was relaxed and therefore every shot of her is beautiful I highly recommend Sam for your wedding story!

    Sam did an excellent job. He was very calming and fun the day of my wedding. My pictures are GORGEOUS and I receive compliments on them daily. Sam takes thousands of pictures yet we didn't see him or notice he was even taking most of the pictures. He stays out of the way, yet he is able to capture each big moment on your big day.
