Hailey Sent on 02/05/2026Best Investment for Our Wedding
Hiring Sam as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding day. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us (our vision, our style, and our needs) and was always available to answer questions and offer guidance.
On the wedding day, she arrived early and fully prepared, bringing a calm, grounding presence to what could have been a stressful morning. She helped keep everything moving smoothly, capturing stunning photos efficiently so we could actually enjoy our day. My husband and I are both uncomfortable in front of the camera, and you would never know it from our photos. Sam gave us simple, natural posing guidance and made the entire experience feel effortless. She accommodated every request we threw her way with grace and a smile.
While I knew the photos would be great, we were absolutely blown away by the final gallery. Her attention to detail — from composition to editing — was thoughtful, intentional, and truly artistic. Every time I look at our photos, it feels like I’m reliving the fairytale all over again. She truly went above and beyond. These are photos we will treasure for a lifetime.

Sam was our photographer for our wedding. She is incredibly talented and wonderful with our guests. She gave immaculate direction for posing (which we needed). All of our family and friends are still raving about Sam. The photos are jaw-dropping. I am so grateful and elated that Sam was our photographer. -

My husband and I hired Sam as our wedding/engagement photographer and she was absolutely amazing! Not only were her photographs gorgeous, timeless and classy, she delivered them quickly and was such a joy to work with. Her personality kept us calm and peaceful the entire day and we felt so fortunate to have her by our side. Sam is incredibly organized, creative and personable. She beautifully captured all of our precious moments and all of our wedding guests loved her too. Sam goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed! :) -

Victoria Sent on 10/14/2021Engagement + Wedding Photographer - Truly amazing!
Sam is the best! When I told her I wanted to do a desert shot for my engagement shoot, she was able to immediately suggest a location. And the shots came out super cool! Fast forward to our wedding day, Sam captured every moment of our wedding! This was critical for us, as we opted out of getting a videographer, but we really didn't need it! When I saw our photo gallery, I was reliving the wedding day each step of the way. Sam's super professional, organize, creative, and easy to work with. I will book her for my maternity shoot! -

Ashley Sent on 08/01/2019Beyond happy with our photos!!
Working with Samantha was an absolute dream! From the first Facebook message to the most recent correspondence we had has been nothing but perfect. Samantha was quick, responsive and SO helpful with my photography timeline. Also not to mention, she's the sweetest most genuine person to have a conversation with. I've shot with a small handful of photographers and I'll tell you, none of them were as professional, attentive and particular as her! We've only received our 'sneak peeks' from her and I'm BLOWN AWAY! If these are the sneak peeks, I cannot wait to see the rest! These photos belong in magazines
Samantha, I am beyond grateful that Jamie and I had the opportunity to meet and work with you. Your work speaks for itself and I could not have chosen a better person to portray mine and Jamie's love. I constantly find myself looking through your website and Instagram looking at all the amazing shots you've taken. You have such talent!
I cannot wait to show the rest of our photos with our friends and family! TY TY TY
UPDATE: the rest of our gallery is AMAZING! I want to print every single photo and make it into wall paper or something extremely extra lol So proud of how everything came out. #inlove -

Sam has the absolute most perfect chemistry you want when booking a photographer. She is genuinely enthusiastic about every single shot she takes and her shots are breathtaking. Speaking of shots, Sam worked closely with us to meticulously pre-plan out a ton of wedding shots weeks before our wedding, each of which came out beautifully natural. But on top of that, Sam is insanely flexible. On our wedding day, we actually were ahead of schedule during our wedding shots and were able to capture a ton of off-the-cuff shots taking advantage of the magical lighting that our venue offered. Speaking of venue, a few weeks before our wedding, Sam walked the venue with us and pointed out a ton of amazing spots including our spectacular first look photo. She's detailed oriented, organized and a true professional in every sense of the world. But most of all, she's genuinely passionate about getting the best for her clients. At the start of all this, we hired a vendor (who did an amazing job), but ended with a friend. Thank you so much Sam for being a part of our day and capturing such beautiful moments for us. -

Oh my gosh - Samantha is AMAZING! I wish I could just upload all of the photos she took because every single picture is amazing. From the moment we met her, we instantly knew we wanted her to be our photographer. She is so sweet and so insanely talented. One of my bridesmaids mentioned how much she loved the time that Samantha took to make sure every picture was perfect, and everyone looks incredible in every picture. No one looks stiff or staged or uncomfortable, and I love that you can see all of the personalities shining through. I also love that she was encouraging and enjoying all of the nerdy little things we wanted to do, and she highlighted every single things that was important to us. We are going to cherish these gorgeous memories for so many years to come! And everyone who had a chance to talk to Samantha absolutely loved her. I'm pretty sure my parents tried to adopt her at some point (and might still be trying? No one tell them that's not how it works!), but I also love that my mom actually asked me if she took any pictures during the ceremony because apparently my mom never saw or heard Samantha during the ceremony. So she's not only an amazing photographer, but also a camera ninja! I feel like there's a million more nice things I could say, but just do yourself a favor and contact Samantha to see for yourself! -

Samantha was our wedding photographer & we absolutely loved her work! Firstly, Samantha is SUCH a sweetheart & super down to earth. I knew right away I wanted to work with her because I felt so comfortable around her and genuinely liked her as a person. So, as a result of that and naturally, It was such an ease to work with her and you could easily tell how comfortable we (and everyone she photographed) were just through how natural and comfortable we looked in the photos.
I would say her photography style is photojournalistic so she really captures "in the moment and candids" beautifully.
She did such a phenomenal job at capturing the essence of our day. All of the photos just express so much of everyone's true emotions--which was lots of love, laughter, and happiness. I had such a huge smile on my face and was laughing so much just going through all the photos when I first saw them because it was like reliving the special day. :)
She and her second shooter, Grace, were very professional and totally blended in with the wedding/crowd. I honestly didn't even realize she was taking photos until I had seen some of the ones she captured that I had no idea she did.
We also ordered an heirloom photo album from her!!! omgggg, it is GORGEOUS!! and it was super easy to work with her on it as well, and she made it so quickly--and just in time for Christmas (because my husband and I ordered albums for our parents for Christmas presents as well).
The quality of her work is really beautiful--her photos definitely have a timeless, elegant, and romantic feel. We absolutely loooooove our wedding photos -

Jane Sent on 07/22/2018My now husband and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding in April of this year and my husband found her via yelp. We fell in love with her style- a very romantic style which was exactly what we were looking for.
She was very accommodating of our work schedule and made herself available to meet with us in the evening after work. The meeting was great because she really made an effort to get to know us and we got to know more about her and her work.
We had Samantha do our engagement photos and our wedding photos as well. We heard so many compliments on our photos.
Samantha is very detailed oriented, which we really appreciated.
We had very specific requests of what we wanted her to capture on our wedding day and she captured them all.
She checked in prior to our wedding to make sure of all the details. Arrived on time the day of and was just really easy to work with!
I love her user friendly website she uses for payments, contract, and for all the photos. So organized! Love it!
Thank you for capturing our beautiful day!
Highly recommend! -

Stella Sent on 07/12/2018I gotta say, Samantha is an absolute dream to work with!!!! She is every brides dream! The photos she takes are just absolutely beautiful! I fell in love with her work from the very beginning and had no doubt I would love my wedding photos. I promise you will not regret hiring her! I hired her as my wedding photographer on August 27, 2017. I know, i'm soo behind on writing this :(. First impression of her was her website which is sooo informational and helpful in understanding her packages and it literally answered all of my initial questions. It's straight to the point and honest. Which I loved! As a bride, we all have to do our homework and make sure we choose a great photographer, as photos are all that we're left with when everything is said and done. I'm so thankful we found her! From our very first meeting with her, to our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she has been nothing but incredibly sweet, professional, friendly, attentive to details, has a great eye for beautiful shots, very personable and responsive. If you're reading this, look no further, you have found the best photographer at a very reasonably affordable price.
Working with her was so easy and fun! Felt like we had been friends with her for years! I love that before every pose she would pay attention to all details and adjust if needed. Like fix my hair if I had a fly away or straighten my necklace if it was crooked. All the little things that matter when looking back on your memories. Heck, she even gave us a ride back to our hotel when we accidentally got left behind at our venue at the end of our wedding day lol! I can go on for days about how awesome she was to work with but her work speaks for itself. Thank you again Samantha for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!! You are my photographer for life! Can't wait to work with you again! :-) -

Alicia Sent on 05/30/2018Where do I even begin? I fell in love with Samantha's work as soon as I visited her website, and after having her recommended to me by a friend, the deal was sealed. Working with Samantha for my wedding felt like being with an old friend. She exudes warmth and kindness and she is exceptionally talented. My fiance' and I both felt like she understood the essence of our relationship and she was able to capture that effortlessly on camera. Samantha truly has an eye for those beautiful in-between moments that are often lost in the bustle of a wedding day, and I could not be more delighted with our photos. She made us feel so incredibly special on our wedding day, and I am so glad we found her.

Silvia Sent on 03/23/2018Samantha is amazing! She was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding! A good friend who had her as her photographer for her wedding recommended us to her. She showed us an image that Samantha captured & we fell in love with her work. When we met up, she was very professional & easy to talk to. She asked about our details for the wedding. When we said it was for Halloween & we wanted a dark yet classy look, she was thrilled since it was what she is into as well. Nevertheless, she is still able to capture glamorous portraits as we were able to see her work displayed in her office. She has an amazing way of depicting the love that's in the atmosphere for the night. Everyone who has seen the pictures from our wedding are so mesmerized & get a sense of the energy felt that night. I'm so happy how everything turned out & how wonderful she was to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her!
