Whims and Joy

gether more often. As a wedding planner, having an amiable relationship with the photographer (and her assistant - woot woot DK) can seriously make the day SO much better. Zero stress, zero worries, 100% wedding success!! Excited to see the images - you rock my friend!

whenever we had any questions or requests. She was very organized and attentive, and worked around the timing of our schedule-- making our wedding day stress free. My husband and I are so incredibly happy with our wedding and engagement photos. We really enjoyed working with her, she is so fun and easy to work with. Highly recommend her! You won't regret!

made my nerves fall away when she started taking pictures at my wedding. Her professionalism and excitement for her career shine through while she’s working. The entire process of working with her, from sitting down to asking questions the first day we met, to taking awkard engagement photos with my then fiancé (which by the way Sammy was very helpful and our pictures turned out fantastic!!!), to the big day just 3 weeks ago, Sammy was wonderful. Both myself, my husband and our family and friends are beyond excited to see our photos!!

d Whims & Joy for a photographer. Sammy is so talented and captures such beautiful raw moments that will help us remember those moments forever!

tunning. When we saw them all for the first time, we were speechless! She captured the essence of the day beautifully. She found just the right setting for photographing my daughter and son-in-law and their wedding party before the ceremony. She unobtrusively took many poignant photos during the ceremony. And she took fun and memorable candid shots throughout the entire day, capturing some of the things we missed. She has a great eye and impeccable vision! I cannot recommend Whims and Joy enough!

ing any questions or concerns. I would say her style is clean, elegant, soft and delicate. She captured our day perfectly and we love our photos! I would highly recommend!

photos but she also took the time to help me plan out my day to make it feel less stressful. Sammy is such a genuine and kind hearted person who is an excellent photographer! Our bridal party, family members, and wedding guests all felt Sammy did a wonderful job and was very professional and made the photo sessions go very smoothly! I am so happy with all the wonderful work Sammy has done for us! She scoped out all the best spots and all the best lighting. I will definitely be referring her to everyone I know!

y was extremely professional yet friendly and a joy to talk to. She listened to everything that we asked for and helped us make our dream wedding come to life. Not only was Sammy a great photographer but she was also a fantastic coordinator as well! She helped us plan our whole wedding day schedule and was able to keep us on track during the wedding day. You know one is a good photographer when they can make an awkward couple look good! P.S I can't say THANK YOU enough. We love our photos and the moments you and DK were able to capture are ever so priceless. :)

ement pictures and our wedding pictures. My husband and I were so thankful that we chose her to be our photographer. She helped out so much the day of our wedding it felt like she was coordinating as well! I would recommend Whims and Joy photography to anyone.

most crucial decisions in wedding planning is choosing the right photographer, and Sammy was PHENOMENAL. We had a destination wedding on the lush island of St Lucia. We knew we wanted a photographer we could meet and speak with ahead of time. We didn't want to have to choose one on the resort that we barely had time to research. Sammy's work is beautiful, she was organized right from the beginning, and provided us with a timeline in advance. Best of all she's genuine and passionate in catering to her couples needs. I noticed that as soon as Sammy arrived to St Lucia she started scoping out the best locations taking into consideration the people, lighting, colors, and importance of the instance she was capturing. From the rehearsal dinner, to morning and night of the wedding day Sammy relentlessly ran around in 90 degree heat, leaped over ledges, and stood in bushes potentially infested with baseball size spiders, all to catch every significant moment. Most importantly she did this inconspicuously. She wasn't right in our faces, or in the way of guest, yet she captured everything. Our decision to go with Whims and Joy was further validated when in a wedding group shot with SIXTEEN people, from behind her lens, Sammy caught a thin hair binder on one of my bridesmaids that didn't fit with the shot. WOW. Her attention to detail, along with creativity, is insanely good. If you have a destination, or local, wedding you will not go wrong with Whims and Joy. We love our photos. Not only do we have beautiful professional shots, we have candid shots of pure laughter, everybody crying, bridesmaids furiously fanning me while I'm laid out on my bed in between shots when I didn't think anyone was looking, spinning, dancing, more laughing and crying, toasts, groomsmen and bridesmen drinking anything insight, she caught everything. I'm embarrassed to admit that I still get teary eyed when I flip though our photos, but that's the emotion that great wedding photos are suppose to give you. Thank you, Sammy!!!

y to contact us early and answer any questions we had. She was very accommodating and on top of everything. I would recommend Whims and Joy to anyone who wants to have a great photography wedding experience and have pictures to cherish for a life time! I would hire her over and over again!

res about her clients and does an incredible job capturing the special moments of a wedding day that can easily be overlooked. I get so excited when I know a bride has booked her because I know that they will love their photos from their wedding day!

one of the most genuine beings I have had the pleasure of knowing. If you are looking for someone to bring you endless joy during your special day and moments hire Sammy!

She went with the flow when we took wedding party pictures, which led to some fantastic, but hilarious pictures. Our guests also loved the pictures- which became many of their profile pictures on social media.. so you KNOW it's good stuff. Hire Sammy, she is great!

y and had a large wedding party and Sammy was so patient through all of the pictures. We gave her a list of what we really wanted for the day and all those items were checked off without her even reminding me. Sammy caught some amazing moments. We viewed our pictures for the first time and I was so impressed with her work. She is such a hard worker and we are so lucky to have had her capture our day!

ome. She was the calm we needed during the chaos of organizing family pictures after our ceremony and had an eye to put us exactly where we needed to be. We received our images SO quick after our wedding! She is the sweetest, most professional photographer I've been around and I seriously cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again, Sammy and Alyssa!
