    Simply the best!

    My husband and I were really nervous about being professionally photographed but Samantha made us feel comfortable right away! An engagement photoshoot was offered with the wedding package we chose and it was such a great way to break the ice! We were totally at ease on the day of our wedding! We have so many timeless photos including lots of candids! The photos truly captured the joy and excitement of our wedding day. We will not only cherish these photos but the fun memories from working with Samantha!

    Incredible! Book Now!

    Incredible! I was extremely stressed about hiring a photographer, since the photos from our wedding will be cherished forever. My friend hired Samantha as her photographer and highly recommended her, so we reached out.

    Samantha's work is incredible! We were looking for natural, not overly edited photos and that is what we got! Samantha's eye for detail is amazing. We had her shoot our engagement photos and our wedding photos. When we received both of our albums, I was in tears at how beautiful they turned out. Every time I looked through the album I found new favorite photos. What I loved the most about our photos from Samantha was that they captured the love, joy and happiness we were feeling in the moment.

    Not only are her photos incredible, but she is also such a joy to work with. She puts you at ease right from the start. She is so kind and makes the experience so fun. She was also able to get all the photos we asked for at our wedding and did so very efficiently. We have had 3 weddings in our family over the last 3 years and my parents were so impressed with how professional Samantha and her second photographer were.

    Samantha has become a part of our family. She shot my college best friends wedding last June, my wedding this past April and will be shooting another one of my college best friends weddings in October! This speaks to the connections she makes with her clients and the quality of her work!

    If you are looking for a photographer who will capture all the emotions of your day, who will put you at ease, who will be responsive and professional, who will make the experience lots of fun and who will produce amazing photos to cherish forever - Samantha is the one to hire! You will not regret it.

    Could not have been happier!

    Everything was so smooth and perfect handled which is EXACTLY what you want on one of the most hectic but special days of your life! Samantha was so organized and communicative that I barely had to do anything other than just give her all the information she would need. I got the pictures back so fast and they were exactly what I had asked for. Use Samanatha for your wedding! She also offers her services for graduations, baby pictures, etc.

    AMAZING- book now!

    Samantha is incredible! She is amazingly talented, professional, kind, and an absolute blast to work with. From the moment we booked with her it was easy and she handled everything! Our engagement shoot exceeded my expectations and we were so comfortable with her! Our wedding could not have gone smoother. Even on a 100 degree day in July it was perfect! Our pictures came back quickly, she got every photo we asked for and more, and they were absolutely incredible. Everyone always tells us how incredible our wedding photos are too! Book with Samantha and you will be beyond impressed!!

    Samantha is amazing!

    We have used Sam twice for family photos- once for a newborn session and then again when our youngest was one. She was so great with our toddler who initially wanted nothing to do with photos- BUT SHE STILL GOT SO MANY PICTURES! We have loved every photo we have received from her. She comes prepared, is friendly, patient and her turn around for albums is so quick. So impressed and we will continue to use her!

    Family photographer extraordinaire!

    We've used Sam for 3 newborn sessions, 3 cake smash sessions, and multiple family/holiday sessions! She feels like part of the family! She always captures wonderful photos - even with cranky babies and feisty toddlers. Highly recommend!

    Talented, and professional

    Samantha was my wedding photographer, and she is the cream of the crop. When it came time to choose our photographer, I remember looking back on photos she had taken over the years, and I noticed a consistent vision and eye for capturing rare, beautiful moments- from big, belly laughs to sweet smiles and touching interactions between those whose photos she had taken. And I said that's it, this is the one! I was so happy when I contacted her and she said she would be available for my wedding. Not to mention, she's highly professional & always made me feel supported through the various stages of planning, leading up the big day. This was very much appreciated having planned my wedding during the pandemic. I received our photos shortly after our wedding, which was May 2nd at Castle Hill (Newport, RI) and they are GORGEOUS. My husband and I absolutely love them and we'll cherish them for many years to come. I've gotten wonderful feedback from my family and friends on the photos as well. (Her co-photographer, Shelynne is also extremely talented and reliable! )

    The Best of the Best

    Photographer was the vendor I stressed about the most, I ended up with meeting with nearly half a dozen to until I met with Samantha. I knew I already loved her work before meeting, and on meeting her, I knew she would be what I needed on the wedding day - calming, organised, and committed to making sure I enjoyed the day while doing her best work! We actually hired her twice, once for our Covid backyard wedding and then with a second shooter for a full day on the full wedding day at the Boylston Rooms. She was so good at her job, sometimes I forgot about photos, and was able to get lost in the beautiful moments of the wedding day. I would 100% hire her again and will definitely keep be looking to hire her again for maternity photos/ newborn photos (she does it all!).

    Samantha has a calmness about her that makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. She captures your truest self.

    Amazing and professional

    Samantha has been photographing my daughter since she was 6months old and she’s now going to be 4! She’s professional yet you feel like it’s family! Great with children because she’s patient and understanding! We love Samantha and could never thank her enough for capturing our memories!

    We loved working with Samantha from our engagement photos to our wedding day! She made our engagement session so fun and relaxed. She is very organized and we felt prepared for our wedding day photos and timeline. She’s able to be behind the scenes but capture such amazing photos and give good direction. Not to mention, she’s just a overall fun, easygoing, and social person which is important for the big day! We loved our online album and final package. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Photographer

    We are so grateful for Samantha and so glad we chose her as our photographer. She took photos for both our engagement and wedding and they came out better than we could have imagined. Not only is she very professional, but she makes you feel comfortable while taking the photos. We tell everyone she feels like an old friend (even if you've just met her for the first time). She's very easy-going and you can tell she loves what she does and enjoys getting to know the couples/families that she works with.

    Her photography style is also amazing - as people who love photos that are natural and not over edited Samantha was a perfect fit for us. She also knew the best spots to take photos (Elizabeth park for engagement pics and then Look Park for the wedding).

    We recommend her to everyone we meet and we hope to use her in the future again for family photos, etc.

    Wonderful!

    There are no words to describe how happy we are with our wedding photos. They captured the mood of the day and will be something we cherish forever. Samantha is also incredibly kind and very easy to work with (my husband and I are a little awkward in front of a camera). She made the whole day a breeze. She also worked with us as a long distance wedding and couldn't have made it any easier.

    Great wedding photography experience! Highly recommend!

    Samantha was amazing to work with. She was very proactive with scheduling and planning - very organized all around! She was very affordable in comparison to other photographers. Samantha had a great turn around with our photos and made us a beautiful keepsake album! We HIGHLY recommend Samantha!

    Provides peace of mind!

    Sam did our engagement and wedding photos and I can't express enough how great the whole experience was. She is incredibly professional, well organized, creative and also friendly. She thinks of everything, gets the job done efficiently and really well. We even got the edited photos quicker than we thought we would! I would recommend her to anyone, no question!

    Samantha was such a wonderful photographer to work with. She was always so willing to answer any questions I had throughout the wedding planning process and was very accommodating to any requests my husband and I had. She made us both feel so comfortable taking pictures the day of the wedding and was extremely professional. The pictures came out beautifully and there were so many, I was very impressed with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone is search of an excellent photographer.

    Loved working with Sam, great pictures!

    This review is LONG overdue, but we loved working with Sam. She listened to what we wanted, took gorgeous photos, corralled my family and friends and delivered the finished product wonderfully. She was perfect on the day of, and brought a skilled co-photographer to help capture the whole event.

    Samantha and her assistant Brooke were PHENOMENAL! From the moment we first spoke with Samantha about hiring her as our photographer through ordering pictures, she was available, professional, and pleasant to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable, and the pictures are amazing. Thanks so much Samantha!!

    Samantha was everything I was looking for in a wedding photographer!! Professional, incredibly talented and so sweet! She was so easy to work with and my pictures are amazing- we got married three years ago and I’m still not tired of looking at them. She’s the best.
