We loved working with Sam! She was recommended by a work friend of mine and I am so happy we went with her! We just got the full wedding album back and I completely in love with i...

t! Sam sent the previews the very next day and I was already in love with those, so being blown away by the full album was no surprise. She is so down to earth and easy to work with! We all had a great time in the bridal suite for the getting ready photos and enjoyed taking the formals as well. Once the ceremony started, Sam got a lot of amazing candids rather than stopping everything to ask people to pose. Throughout the whole planning process, Sam was so communicative and helpful! You get a questionnaire which is super helpful in knowing exactly what to expect and helping your figure out exactly what kind of photos you would like taken. Do yourself a favor. End your search here, and go with Sam!

Sam is absolutely incredible! She not only captured our wedding day at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden but also did our engagement photos and rehearsal dinner. From start to finish, ...

she was an absolute dream to work with. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her ability to find the perfect shots in every moment is amazing. Whether it was the romantic garden scenery, the emotions during the ceremony, or the joy at the rehearsal dinner, Sam's photos brought everything to life with such elegance and artistry. She made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the results exceeded every expectation we had.

Samantha is a truly talented photographer, and an even more amazing person to know and be around. From the beginning of wedding planning to the big day, and even after, she has bee...

n attentive, consistent, and calming. Wedding planning is a huge stress, but with Samantha everything felt easy, while still going beyond my dreams of what everything would be like. Samantha offered help and advice when wedding planning and developing our timeline. This not only helped keep me on track, but reminded me of details that I had forgotten. Any idea I had, she would find a way to make it work. Anything I didn't want to happen, she didn't add any pressure at all, and made that work too. I wanted a photographer that would become a friend and blend right in with everyone celebrating with us, and that is exactly what she did. There were so many moments when my husband and I wanted a calm moment to ourselves on our wedding day and she made sure that happened! Samantha just being there calmed me down and assured us that everyone else could wait, all that mattered was our marriage. The most beautiful candid moments were captured with her documentary style photography, and she took such care to get pictures of the most important people in our lives. When we got our gallery back, one of the most common things we said was, "Did you know she was taking pictures right then?" There were moments when we thought no one was paying attention or that no one had noticed the small detail that we loved, but Samantha noticed and got a picture of it, every time. I could not recommend Samantha enough- her style, presence, and character all helped our personality to shine through on our wedding day.

edding photos turned out stunning! Sam has a great eye for detail and takes amazing intimate candid shots - one of the many reasons we hired her. She has a great eye for detail and her style makes all your photos feel really cohesive.

verage and when we made a day-before change to our timeline. She was warm, professional, and captured our easy love with a detailed eye. We had our sneak peek within 24 hours (!!) and were so happy with the way she captured our day! The online platforms that Sam uses are simple to navigate and use and helped make the whole process so easy. Book her!

We’ve continued to book with Sam for couples shoots and anniversary photos because once you see her work you’ll never want to stop! Plus, she’s an incredibly kind and fun person to be around. I would work with her a thousand times more, and hopefully will!

usband and I. From our engagement to our wedding day, Sam captured the sweetest moments and froze the love we felt that day in time forever. Not only is her gift and craft perfected, but she is truly one of the best humans. She is so sweet, kind, and like a friend you have known for years. She cares endlessly about the details most important to you while adding her own style that brings an artistic touch that has the wow factor. She gets better with every wedding and event. You have to check her out and talk with her! You will not regret it.

I cannot say enough positive things about Samantha, her work, and how much fun we had with her during our engagement session and on our wedding day! From the very beginning, I felt...

like Samantha truly cared about us and her laidback, genuine personality made our engagement session so much fun - as someone whose last professional photo shoot was my high school senior photos, I was a little nervous about feeling pressure to get "perfect" photos in a staged environment, but Samantha just let us essentially spend a nice day together and produced the most gorgeous photos I've ever seen. Even the poses she did suggest for us felt natural and when we got the finals back, I felt like we were professional models. This all made me completely confident that she would beautifully capture our wedding day, and sure enough, she brought a feeling of warmth and calm that shines through in our photos. We feel such a strong sense of trust and caring with her that at one point when she was taking detail photos, I just handed her my engagement ring and asked her to clean it however she thought was best (because I had of course forgotten), knowing she would absolutely be prepared with whatever she needed to do so and wouldn't let anything happen to it. She handed it back to me SPARKLING, I'm still not sure how she did it. If you want not only beautiful photos that you will treasure for a lifetime, but also a photographer that will go above and beyond to make sure you are completely comfortable and cared for throughout the planning process and on your day, you need to book Samantha!

o included a session for bridal portraits, which was wonderful to get to know each other before the big day. She also set up a meeting with me to talk about our schedule for the day which was very helpful. The photos were beautiful, and she got them back to me within two weeks of the wedding! Absolutely wonderful experience and I couldn’t recommend Samantha more.

ce and it’s so evident in her work. Samantha did my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and even shot getting ready photos for me on my big day!! Her eye for detail is extraordinary and she strives to make her clients happy. She cares so deeply for her clients and her goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible! Samantha made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our engagement session and even brought her own props! Choosing her as my go-to photographer was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made and I’m so thankful for her. She is filled with great ideas and puts so much time into the entire process! Thank you Sam. The Woolbright’s are so thankful for you! ❤️

Only photographer I will use! Samantha did my wedding back in February and she was so much fun to work with. While taking the photos, she made it fun, and the photos she got of our...

wedding are incredible. She made our day even more special by taking the photos she did. Not only has she photographed my wedding, but she always did mommy and son photos of my son and I. He was cranking and she was so patient with him. His safe toy is a ball and would not let go of it, only object to keep him calm and she incorporated it into the photos. I have known Samantha for 24 years, and she is one of the kindest people I know. She is loyal and hardworking. You will love the photographs that she takes for your family. She will make your photo sessions fun, and will make you laugh. If you’re nervous like I was taking photos, that’s okay because she will calm your nerves. Samantha is a wonderful photographer, and you will not be disappointed in the work she does for you!
