what my couples are saying
"Samantha was an amazing photographer to work with. The things my husband and I valued most about our experience with Sam:
1. Professionalism - Sam responded to all my my questions quickly and in detail. Even better, she predicted a lot of what I would be concerned about, and gave me information before I even had to ask. For example, she wrote up a whole plan for my elopement day.
2. Going above and beyond - Sam was able to meet my husband and I the day before our planned elopement to go over our locations and just get to know us. This allowed us to feel super comfortable the day of the event. She scouted out the locations we had in mind, and suggested another close by location that was gorgeous where we got some of my favorite shots.
3. Personality - Sam is just super fun! This allowed my husband and I to totally relax, and we got great candid shots. She somehow managed to be a friend who we were celebrating with as well as our photographer! Her combination of small directions paired with allowing us to be ourselves gave us stellar photos where our personalities showed!
4. Thinking of everything - The day of our elopement Sam brought good tunes, water, snacks, and more to make sure our day was fun and went smoothly!
I can't wait to book another session with Sam!"

"We hired Samantha back in spring 2020 as a wedding and engagement photographer for our wedding planned fall 2020. We’ve had to reschedule the wedding twice and she has been overly gracious about it! She actually did our engagement session the day our original wedding was planned for, and helped make the day so special and magical.
In our initial communication with Samantha before we hired her, she was responsive, helpful, and so friendly and kind! During our engagement session she was AMAZING! Neither my fiancé or myself have ever had professional photos taken, and we were nervous and feeling awkward, but her guidance and natural abilities to direct us made it so fun and easy. She also found a wonderful location for the photos at an adorable Christmas tree farm. She got the photos back to us quickly (even though she was out of town for awhile right after!) and they absolutely blew us away.
The value she provides far exceeds the modest price she charges. We could not be happier with her work, and we haven’t even had the wedding yet! Through the past year Samantha has been professional and understanding, and has become a real friend. We love our engagement photos and can’t wait for the wedding photos later this year! We couldn’t recommend Samantha more!"

"sam has become a real friend!"
"Samantha is truly the best of the best. I searched high and low for photographers for our small wedding ceremony and engagement pictures for a summer 2020 wedding and once i stumbled upon Samantha and her incredible style of photography from the beginning, I knew I had no other choice. She was extremely flexible and so helpful when the pandemic hit and we needed to change our wedding to the following year (July 2021).
Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures turned out extremely amazing! Samantha had a way of making both my husband and me feel comfortable in front of the camera and made our time with her extremely fun.
We couldn’t have imagined any other photographer hanging out with us on our wedding day and would recommend her to absolutely everyone we met!"
