STORYTELLING

capturing your love

documenting memories

creating emotion

If you are looking to show your future kids, remember the best time of your life, or save the most important day of your relationship, it is very important to invest in a photographer who can tell your story through their photos.

Relationships are some of the hardest things anyone in this world can go through - there are so many ups and downs that only are looked on as growth, loyalty, and true love. Saving memories through something as simple as a photo is the only way to remember every moment together.

To me, photos are more than just an image on a screen. Instead, they are one of the most meaningful parts of a relationship because they document the best memories within any love story; they bring back feelings of happiness, love, joy, and nostalgia. 

My heart screams for the couples who not only love each other with their whole hearts, but they also are dedicated to undergo anything to create a love others aspire to achieve.

SUPER 8 FILMS

On top of documenting love through photography, I also love being able to film every moment through the power of super 8 films! The feeling of reliving your wedding, proposal, or engagement through a nostalgic film is unlike any types of videos!! For any of my couples who are dreaming of having a very candid, natural, and raw film, I suggest going with a super 8 film over any professional set-up! I PROMISE you will feel way less anxious about being in front of another set of cameras and love the feel of these special films!!

Average Investment: $2-3K

Sam 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!! Sam 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. Sam included so many special little details throughout our day that made it even better!

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!

Jyl & Nick

We worked with Samantha through our two biggest moments in our lives. A surprise proposal and our engagements pictures. She is a sweetheart to work with and makes sure your dreams and visions come through with every picture. She knows how to get so many emotions through photos and gave our pictures our personalities. She made shooting fun and easy.

Her brand is herself, she’s professional in every way possible but still allows her genuine and caring personality to shine through. Her love for love is amazing and the way she captures it, is perfect. She’s a pleasure to work with and we would suggest her through and through. She gives you candid opportunities, posed ideas and shared her creative ideas in both our (surprise) proposal photos and our engagements.

Bailey & Brady

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!!

YOUR KIND WORDS

True Moments & Real Feelings Talked About from Past Couples

Where are you based?

I am from Minneapolis, Minnesota & travel out of the Minneapolis International Airport for almost every single destination wedding! Most of my couples and lifestyle shoots are local, but don't hesitate to reach out and ask for a more detailed travel schedule!

Honestly, I shoot all types of couples - introverts, extroverts, adventurous, intimate, bubbly, and everything in between! Don't feel like you will ever been turned away for the special relationship you share with your lover.

How long have you been documenting couples?

I have been capturing couples for more than five years! I am so thankful for my past self for starting this passion so early in my life, and now I get to travel the world documenting such special moments & marriages every single year!

Do we need to know how to pose for our photos?

Absolutely NOT! I work with couples who prefer prompts and those who want me to be a fly on the wall! Just know you will never have to feel the pressure to be someone or something else just because you are in front of a camera! 

Do you have extra travel fees for out of state?

No! You don't need to worry about anything regarding my travel since I cover it to document your day, wherever that may be! I have traveled to almost every state for weddings & I am more than willing to help you plan as well!

Do you have payment plans for us?

Of course! I never want my couples to stress about money, and payment plans always work the best! I require a 50% downpayment to secure your wedding date, and the other 50% is due a month from your actual wedding day! I also make custom payment plans!
