Samia did an amazing job on our engagement shoot! She was able to help us find a gorgeous location and the perfect day for our shoot. My fiance and I had never done a professional shoot before, and she made the process fun and memorable. Her turn around on edited photos allowed us to order our save the dates with plenty of time to spare, and the photos turned out better than I could've hoped. I'd recommend Samia to anyone -

Rebecca G. Sent on 01/15/2024Beautiful photos and a joy to work with!
We hired Samia to photograph our wedding this past November. What a fantastic decision that was! We saw her galleries and knew she would get great photos, but we were also really looking for a photographer who would put us at ease in front of the camera (since we'd never gotten professional photos together) - feeling comfortable was a huge priority for me and my now-husband. During our first call with Samia, she was friendly and professional, and she shared thoughtful responses to our many questions. During our engagement photo shoot, she gave us plenty of helpful direction while still allowing us to have fun and be ourselves. It was exactly the experience my husband and I were looking for. Samia delivered beautiful photos that really captured our dynamic. Of course, the same was true for our wedding day. Not only did she get amazing photos of me and my husband, but she also expertly handled the family photos; there were a lot of people, including several small children, and Samia made the process simple and easy. Overall, Samia is a delightful, communicative person who was easy to work with, and she gave us beautiful photos we will cherish forever. We very highly recommend her! -

Avanti N. Sent on 08/20/2023Joyful, light filled wonderful photos!
I found Samia in my search for a micro wedding photographer and were SO happy we went with her! Right from the get go, Samia was professional, shared lots of great ideas and portfolios that fit well for our smaller wedding, and was so sweet and flexible when it came to our scheduling (e.g, sunrise engagement photos at the National Mall). I was thoroughly impressed with how organized she is with setting up various family/friend photo configurations on the big day, and appreciate her quick communication on timelines. Samia’s photography captures so much light and joy, she’s quick on her feet with getting wonderful candid moments, and most importantly she’s such a positive and comforting presence to have around! Thank you, Samia, for all you did for us! -

Samia is an amazing photographer-- she delivers beautiful, clean images while making you feel comfortable and at ease during the whole shoot. Our photoshoot was so much fun, relaxed, and Samia always made sure we were feeling good and we took breaks when needed. She is super easy to work with and made us feel very at ease with natural and easy to follow posing. Our photos were delivered quickly and exceeded expectations. Thank you so much Samia! -

Samia Studios is Incredible!
Samia was absolutely incredible! She photographed my engagement photos and wedding photos, and I am over the moon the moon happy with her work. My now husband is uncomfortable with taking pictures and she made him and myself feel completely comfortable and gave us so much direction which made the pictures turn out amazing. She has such a sweet and great personality. It feels like you are working with your best friend! She knows the entire DMV area and has so many suggestions for engagement photo locations. She also gave us so much peace of mind on wedding day by having everything planned out and more than enough support for the bride party and the groom party. She captured all of the special moments that I wanted and beyond. The cherry on top is the gallery she puts together. It is a completely organized gallery sectioned out by order of events. Overall, Samia is incredibly talented, and we are so happy and grateful for our beautiful photos that will last a lifetime! Thank you, a million times, to Samia and her team! -

A Dream Photographer!!
My fiancé and I recently hired Samia to do our engagement shoot, and it was the best decision ever!! She was kind, professional, and patient with us since we’re not accustomed to being in front of the camera.
As a local wedding planner, Samia and I have worked together on many special events. Although I have seen her work, it was such a different (and magical) experience being photographed by her. She encouraged my fiancé and I to be authentic and joyful and the photos came out so beautifully!
I highly recommend Samia as someone who has experienced her as a collaborative vendor and now as a client! You won’t be disappointed!! -

Raymond N. Sent on 08/07/2023The Total Package
Samia and her team did a fantastic job for both our engagement and wedding photography. Prior to our photo shoots, Samia got to know us well so that she could capture our personality. She also made it easy for us by planning the shoots and routinely checking in with us. For our wedding videography, her team made use of modern and traditional perspectives such as using a drone camera and a traditional 8mm camera. Samia's Studios is the total package. -

Personal & Lively
Where do I even begin? My husband and I had the absolute best experience with Samia. She is a total rockstar behind the lens, and I'm forever grateful for the magical memories they captured on our special day. Samia is genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about what she does. Not only were the photos she captured stunning, but she had an incredible knack for capturing the little details that made our wedding special. I was the most thankful for her go with how positive she stayed and her ability to quickly pivot to accommodate our group. It poured on our wedding day, which was stressful for me, but Samia kept us calm and captured energetic and lively photos from the best day of our lives. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who understands you on a personal level and can effortlessly capture the essence of your love, look no further. I can't recommend Samia enough! Thank you, Samia, for being a part of our journey and for giving us these timeless memories we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. -

Samia was AMAZING. I initially chose Samia because of the amount of romance and genuine love that she captures in her photos and she did not disappoint. We did our engagement photos with her and this was our first professional photography experience. Samia made us feel like NATURALS. She gave great direction and offered amazing advice for our wedding planning. We absolutely love our photos and have so many to choose from! -

Best one ever!
I can only say nothing but good things about Samia and her team. First of all when she mentioned she really give importance of every wedding that she shoots, we truly felt it. She’s always on top of everything, she’s so fast to catch things that can go wrong and give you helpful recommendations. Her talent is on point. They made us feel calm and positive throughout our wedding. Her and her team truly saved our wedding. It was unfortunate that our guests gave them a hard time as they were blocking them, but they were so good adjusting to difficult work environment and remained positive. They go above and beyond what they do. I can’t thank them enough. We will forever recommend them to anyone who gets married! No matter where!!! -

Elizabeth S. Sent on 08/26/2022Amazing Experience & Team!
From our engagement photos to our wedding day Samia made us feel relaxed and valued. She is also perhaps the best hype girl when taking photos. Never have we felt so comfortable being romantic in front of someone - let alone a camera. She truly does seem meant to do this. She loves love and it comes across in her excitement and energy. We also took her recommendations for almost all of our vendors which was also the best decision we could have made. The day went seamlessly and our photos are fun, stunning, and feel like us.
We also need to add that our video was spectacular. We cried all morning watching it. It truly captured the joy and love we felt all day. We couldn’t be more grateful to Samia and her amazing team! Best decision we made. -

Becky H. Sent on 03/11/2022Samia is an extremely talented photographer and a pleasure to work with!
Samia is an outstanding photographer. She is professional, friendly, extremely kind and a pleasure to work with. She took a wonderful variety of photographs and was creative about the use of lighting and where we took them. She was flexible and accommodating even when we were nervous about how the weather would affect our photos. She was really good at communicating both during the photos (getting us to feel natural and capturing really special moments) and in getting us the photos after. I highly recommend Samia! -

Samia did an amazing job capturing our maternity shoot! We felt incredibly comfortable and had such a fun time chatting away during the shoot to make everything feel so natural and easy. Samia helped guide us and knew exactly what styles of photos would really highlight the joy and happiness we’ve been feeling throughout this time. During such a special and intimate time, we couldn’t be happier to have these lasting images to look back on. Definitely recommend Samia’s Studios for any photography needs of any type of events- we are absolutely thrilled with the photos we got back and will cherish them forever! -
