"samantha was one of the main reasons our wedding day was absolutely perfect"
Samantha was the surprise photographer at my husband and I’s proposal and I am SO glad because she is the most amazing soul and I was able to have her capture our wedding as well!! She was one of the main reasons our wedding day was absolutely perfect! Her main priority to make sure she really understands her couples so that she can accurately capture their love. She is now a great friend of ours because she puts that much effort into building a relationship with her clients!! Her photographer skills are breathtaking!
We constantly get compliments are our photos. It was effortless working with her because of her ability to make couples feel comfortable where they can be themselves and she just captures the most perfect moments. Thank you so much Sam!! I will never be able to thank you enough for capturing 2 of the most important days of Nick and I’s life. We love you!

"we would recommend samantha without hesitation to any couple"
There are many great things to say about our experience with Samantha.
When my fiancé and I agreed that we would hire Samantha for our elopement, we knew we were making an investment. What we would bring home from our wedding would be these photos, and we needed someone we could trust to make those photos our perfect memories. Samantha hit the ground running, immediately helping us build our perfect trip. While we knew we wanted to elope in Alaska, she offered several incredible suggestions for towns to explore, places for our ceremony, and ideas for what our trip would look like. These suggestions were very helpful in shaping our trip into an unforgettable experience, and that was just the beginning of the effort Samantha put into making sure our time was unforgettable.
We would recommend Samantha without hesitation to any interested couple. When the dress is hung in the closet, and the shoes are put back on the shelf, you’ll reflect on the photos the most often. Samantha is someone you can trust to make sure those memories are captured just perfectly.

"i knew immediately when i met samantha that she was something special"
I knew immediately when I met Samantha that she was something special. She has the most incredible personality and works so dang hard to create the literal BEST experience for her clients.
Throughout the entire process she was thoughtful and attentive to detail. She felt like a friend the instant we connected and will be a friend for a long time. On our wedding day, she was perfect. She kept me (the bride) super calm the day of and reassured me. She's really great at listening to what you'd like to do and is quick to adjust on the fly! Also, the photos are just down right jaw-dropping!! Every single one was frame worthy!
Trust me, you will not regret having Samantha as your photographer because she is just simply above and beyond that.

"WE ARE TRANSPORTED BACK TO THOSE MAGICAL MOMENTS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS"
My husband and I recently got married, and we were fortunate enough to have Samantha as our wedding photographer and best friend!! We cannot express enough how thrilled we are with the exceptional job she did capturing our special day. Samantha's talent and passion for photography truly shine through her work, and we are grateful to have these treasured memories forever.
One of the aspects that truly sets Samantha apart is her exceptional talent for storytelling. Each photo from our wedding day narrated a unique chapter of our love story. From the anticipation before the ceremony to the laughter and tears shared with loved ones, every emotion was beautifully encapsulated in her lens. Looking at our photos now, we are transported back to those magical moments, reliving the joy and happiness all over again for the rest of our lives! Thank you so much Sam for capturing our day authentically - we will never be able to express how grateful we are for you!!
