Ruby Photography

her price point - she captures organic moments and managed to gracefully wrangle my enormous family for portraits that look joyful and gorgeous. Samantha is also incredibly flexible. When the forecast predicted ice storms the day of our wedding, Samantha was down to head out into the woods with us for a secret photo shoot in our wedding outfits the day before. She cares so much about capturing the mood and energy of each couple - I know this because my brother and sister in law loved our photos so much that they booked her for their wedding! Samantha is both unobtrusive and someone you’ll want to be friends with - she puts people at ease and makes them feel comfortable in front of the camera (we hate getting our pictures taken and love having our photo taken by her)! We loved our experience with Samantha so much for our engagement shoot and wedding weekend that we have had the joy of working with her every year since for family portraits as our family has grown. I truly can’t recommend Samantha enough - she’s a true artist and we are so grateful for all of the love and joy she has captured for us over the years.

ial day every time you look through your photos, LOOK NO FURTHER than Ruby Photography. Seriously. Stop scrolling and reach out to Ruby Photography immediately. Hopefully their schedule isn’t already full and you can get on their calendar so they can capture your day. You won’t regret it. After saying yes to get married to each other (!), Ruby Photography was the next and best decision we made in the planning of our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Samy!

as available to shoot our special day, we were so excited. My husband and I are very awkward (tall) people, and the thought of getting photographed was nerve wrecking to say the least. She not only made us comfortable but she helped navigate a very last minute situation, helped direct our ceremony and made sure it was smooth and easy for us. Our photos were timeless and elegant. She even sent us a sneak peak the morning after our wedding night which was such a lovely surprise to wake up to. She is an incredible artist so her eye for photography is unmatched. She took flash photos in our backyard after party that we will cherish forever. Everything captured was organic, personal, and in the moment. The tears, the laughs, the dancing, the food, everything. Every moment was captured to be remembered. I can not recommend her enough for your wedding or elopement.

agined. Samantha took time to understand our vibe, what we hoped to get out of our photos and she delivered above and beyond. On top of being a gifted photographer, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. She was the backbone of our wedding day running smoothly since we did not have a large event with a lot of structure. THANK YOU again Ruby Photography! You killed it! 💖

e with meticulous precision for the perfect picture. Of course the pictures came out perfect and now I know who to hire when I need a photographer with personality.

ing our special day, and I hope to work with her again the future.

assured that if you decide to go with Sam, you will get AMAZING photos. She made my husband and I feel really comfortable and we genuinely had FUN. She is truly talented and we are so grateful that she captured the most beautiful moments. Thank you Sam

n your face and our photos look so natural and truly capture the emotions, love and laughter of our wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Samantha for any wedding or celebration!

did an awesome job of capturing those photo memories at my daughter’s wedding. A few people with whom I shared the pictures asked how many photographers we had at the wedding as it appeared that not a moment was missed. I told them that we had just one photographer who had a knack for managing time and space appearing to be in many places at once and who had an eye for selecting images that would truly tell the story of that special day. One photographer is all you need when you pick the right one! Thank you Ruby Photography!- signed Grateful Mother of the Bride

o bounds, and her photos are stunning. She deftly captures each moment to tell an incredible story of an incredible day that I get to relive every time I go through the album! Do yourself (and your loved ones) the favor of getting Samy to take your photos before my very big Nigerian family books her out for every wedding we've got coming for the next 5 years. Trust me, Samy will be one of the best decisions you ever made in planning your big day!

od places and good timing, and made our day just unofrgettable. The pictures are so nice, we cant stop looking at them; We strongly recommend Samantha and her work, she will make your day even better. Lucia and Giuliano

only half-jokingly asked her to be our family photographer for life. She is truly incredible. She has the amazing ability to capture a couple's true personality and a knack for capturing real candid moments and making them look as beautiful as if they'd been posed! My biggest struggle after getting our photos has been deciding which ones to print out and frame because they're all so good. She truly captures the joy in the room and in the words of my father, "She doesn't just capture photos, she captures moments." We don't feel like a single moment escaped her lens. If you're looking for a photographer who "gets you," who embeds herself so well she captures the most gorgeous candids of you and your guests, who makes you feel as comfortable and calm as possible (it is your wedding day, after all), look no further. There literally aren't enough words to praise Samy or her work. She's the absolute best!

movement so well I want to frame everything she took. Trust her process, she makes it look so easy but she is not to be underestimated, this woman is going to blow up any day now. I'm just happy we found her while we could afford her! Every picture is a piece of art, a moment captured with so much care. We are not photogenic people, we don't know how to smize or pose, Samy just waits until our inhibitions drop for a split second, and that's when she takes her shot. And it's beautiful every time. I got married in August and am still just drooling over these photos. She is worth every penny and more. Do yourself a favor and hire her before Vogue does!

ing being that there weren't many reviews when I hired her but I am so very happy that I did. My wedding photos came out amazing! She was really easy to work with. Easy going personality, it was actually fun having her be a part of my wedding day. My photo album came out amazing. Definitely worth the cost.

rstood what we wanted. Sam was great with follow-up emails, checking in to know the wedding day itinerary and any changes that were needed. On the wedding day she was so wonderful; her happy, friendly, easy going vibe was great! Her talent captured so beautifully our wedding day! My husband and I are so impressed with how our photos came out. We keep on reliving our wedding through the photos (And I can't stop looking at our photos ;)). Thank you again Sam!!

he entire planning process. She was delightful and engaging throughout the entire event but somehow invisible when taking photos. Many of the shots look as if she were standing right next to the Bride and Groom at the alter but we don't even remember seeing her in the room during the ceremony. I would refer her without hesitation.

about her.

had a last minute family emergency and had to cancel. For the price I was paying, I didn't want to "just" have her second/third photographers leading the pack- Thus, I looked for alternative photographers with a smaller budget. We were happy to meet Samantha. Samantha agreed to work with us within our budget. That said, a few weeks later, she advised that she would be unavailable (double booked) but another photographer would be available- At a slightly slimmed price. We agreed since we didn't have time to look for a new photographer. The photographer was ok, but didn't give us much direction for our portraits, a handful of photos given to us were blurry, the smiles/blinks weren't organize. I will say, Eric and I had about 10 photos we truly loved/high quality- enough for us to give 4 stars. But I had to take away 1 star because we wanted more photos that weren't blurry/not coordinated. And lastly, they named our digital wedding book incorrectly "Erick" instead of the correct spelling, "Eric." I advised Ruby Photography to fix it so that I could share the album- They never got back to me. I feel like after I paid them, they just split. A small edit, but an ignore edit made me further reduce their rating by .5 stars

carried her equipment in the heat for the hike without complaint. She came a day early to scout the location with us and even convinced us to do a first look in the creek that we love. It came out better then we could have imagined and highly recommend her. Not only do we appreciate her talent and style, her personality and fun attitude made her such a pleasure to be around. Do yourself a favor and choose Ruby Photography!

eautiful ceremony and reception. Every moment was so wonderful and it was captured so beautifully by Ruby. Ruby captured the very essence of the day, joyful moments and faces of our friends and loved ones. In fact there were images of events that I missed out on that I would never seen if it were not for Ruby. The wonderful part is, she never manipulated the day. She quietly took beautiful images throughout but didn't seem to miss a thing. We look back at all the visual memories and are so grateful to her and her professionalism. You will not be disappointed if you hire her skilled eye to forever remember your precious moments. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to trust with one of our greatest family milestones. Ruby was wonderful!!

ye from a wedding in Chicago the night before, yet she remained confident, chipper, and capable the *entire day*, despite long hours on very little sleep. Our friends and family regularly tell us that our photos are the best they have ever seen, and we agree! My wife and I made a book out of our favorites, and we look through it probably every week. Thanks again, Samy!

and upbeat even when we were getting tired and hungry. By the end of the day; I felt like we were totally all friends! She really got our relationship and it showed in the beautiful photos. She was able to capture so many of the small moments that I couldn't have even told her that I wanted. She was just so good at capturing the intimate moments as well as the big moments! I loved her calm personality and how good she was with everyone from older family members to the flower girl. She had a way of making me feel at ease and that the photos were the last thing I had to worry about! I highly recommend you book her!!

she was! The next day we received a preview of our wedding and the images were so beautiful, I could not have had a better experience!

with you in the future.

essional and efficient. She manages the time well without feeling rushed. I am so thankful that I had her take my wedding photos and am convinced she is the best one out there!

cause she is so easy to work with we were actually very excited to have our pictures taken all day on our wedding. She worked extremely hard the entire 12 hours that day that I actually started feeling bad. I haven't received my final pictures yet but the 15 preview photographs I received 12 hours after my wedding were absolutely stunning and exceeded my expectations.
