MY APPROACH

timelessness

Photos are tangible memories that only become more priceless as time goes on. These images will not only bring you joy when reminiscing during your lifetime but will also be passed on for generations.

prompts not poses

I take a very candid approach to photography and my ultimate goal is to catch the subtle in-between moments. I do provide guidance when necessary, but I want you to be genuinely yourselves.

experience

I have seen every type of wedding with all different budgets, time constraints and lighting scenarios. I have the experience to ensure your day runs smoothly while producing high-quality, intentional photos.

“This review has taken me a while and quite honestly because I didn’t know how to describe how amazing Samantha’s work is. She captured our wedding beautifully and most uniquely. She accommodated our plan, timeline, research and adventure. She was our mini wedding planner/photographer, her type A skills really came perfect together. My husband and I were impressed with Sams ability to create but also organize and execute. Loved her work. Sam, you’re amazing!”

“I never could have expected so many beautiful pictures out of just a couple hours. Sam paid attention to everything we had discussed about pictures beforehand, and then gave me more than I could have dreamed. I literally don’t know what to say besides she is everyone’s DREAM photographer and anyone looking for a photographer should scoop her up now. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is one of the sweetest souls I know and she makes it her goal to see her couples happy. Believe me Sam, you more than did you job on this one, I so cannot wait for the bigger wedding next year to see how much more magic you can do.”
