Thanks so much for getting in touch with me about your
upcoming, special day-big hugs and congratulations again
for sealing the deal!
An abundance of starry-eyed happiness and clinking of
glasses await, and I'd absolutely love to be a part of your
celebrations - big or small, near or far, I document all love anywhere.
As a wedding photographer, I adore capturing the raw,
unabashed connection between two souls, embracing the
essence of your romance.
We're gonna be pretty good friends by the end of this, so may as well get to know me a bit. I'll tell you all the embarrassing stories about me and my husband! - like that one time I farted in his car on our FIRST DATE, and show you pics of my rescue dog, Poppy, on the daily. I'll always be lighting up the dance floor with you when YEAH! comes on.
I get to give the gift of the most beautiful wedding photos to other couples and allow you to be fully present on your special day.
"Throughout our day, Sam was invisible when you wanted her to be, and present when you needed her to be. Her photography is stunning!!! She captured every moment of our big day, and from the best angles. You will not be disappointed with Sam! If she is booked on your wedding day, I suggest you change it!! "

If I could document full wedding weekends every single weekend I would. There is something so special about getting to know your nearest & dearest and seeing the excitement shine through the day before the wedding.
Coverage for rehearsal dinners are a great idea if:
- You have a large guest list, and want to make sure
you have shots & memories of your favorite people from the weekend!
- You'd like to relax a little more on your wedding day itself without rushing around trying to squeeze in pictures of your extended family & friends
- You value your wedding weekend experience as a whole and want to document all of the memories you're making!
Whether you have a quiet intimate dinner planned, or a crazy night out at a local bar, a rehearsal dinner/welcome party add-on is an amazing addition!
> Choose between a linen, suede or photo cover
> Select the color and embossing of your choice
> 20 spreads included
- Additional spreads available at +$12 each
- Select a maximum of 45 spreads in total
Sam’s ability to actually capture the raw moments, the true moments, the moments you wish could last forever are unprecedented. Sam is professional, communicative, warm in her nature, and truly the best at what she does. She helped us every step of the way once hired..creating a space that felt comfortable leading up to our wedding day. Once Sam arrived on the big day she got right to work.. leading us into poses and scenes and creating a space that felt so natural even the most camera shy folks felt like true models. It’s all natural.. it’s all fun.. you’re in the moment and she’s there with you.. nothing feels awkward..it’s truly all fluid because of her experience.
A free consultation for you to get a feel for what it'll be like working together. We'll chat about your dreams and visions, and how we can make it all work!
Yay! I'll send along a full proposal that includes a contract + invoice. With your $2,000 nonrefundable retainer & signed contract, your date is locked in the calendar!
From relationship questionnaires, to scouting shoot locations to finessing your final timeline, we'll keep in touch throughout your wedding planning. I'm always just an email away!
I'll show up excited and ready to shoot your day - without missing a beat. I will be on all day watching out for every special moment so that you can simply enjoy the day!
Let's relive your big day all over again! I know you can't wait so I'll send you a big ole gallery of teaser photos within 5 days after your wedding to gush over!
Grab some goodies and get cozy because here's the final unveiling. Hop online to view your slide show and gallery in your personal online viewing platform!
We'll design your album together, encapsulating all your fav moments. A generational treasure to be shared for the years to come!
This is up to you, but I totally recommend one for a few reasons! First, my style of photography works best when we've gotten to know each other. An engagement sesh is the perfect time for us to hang out & spend time together before your day! It's also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and practice makes perfect. It's totally natural to feel a little bit nervous/awkward when you're not used to having your photo taken, but your engagement session will make you two pros by the time the wedding rolls around!
While I'm confident in my ability to shoot all of my weddings solo, I recommend second photographers for larger weddings, or when couples are getting ready separately and the timeline doesn't allow me to be with you both at the same time. We can chat more about this option on a quick consultation call.
I know you are SO excited about getting your photos back!! I always like to send over a sneak peek gallery within 1 week of your wedding. You can expect your full gallery back on average 8 weeks.
Sure do!! Passport ready in hand, bags are packed, let's go! I have a list of discounted destinations around the world - but heck even some of my couples have decided to adventure out of state for their engagement session! Anywhere your love story brings you, I'm honored to take part. Here are a few discounted locations to get you dreaming! - Private Villa in Turks & Caicos, a ranch style Jackson Hole, Wyoming wedding, Iceland, Portugal, Hawaii
For sure!! custom albums are an amazing addition to your wedding package. Just let me know, and I'll send you more info about the process and how to purchase. I hand-design each album for you to tell the story of your day. There are discounts with the more albums you purchase, too.
Yes! My biggest piece of advice is to step back and let the day unfold naturally. Don't try to "create" or "produce" something that isn't there (whether it be design, feelings, etc.) I also have an entire Wedding Handbook that I’ll send you (exclusive to SMP couples only!) full of tips to set yourself up for the best photos ever. I’ll help you create your entire photo timeline to make sure the day runs seamlessly and we have time for all the photos you’ll ever need!
When you book with me, you receive 100% hand-edited final images. I do not outsource to editors to make my life easier. I take time and care in editing your memories so they reflect how the day looked and felt. Nothing different than that and always my whole heart! Timeless, true to color, and very in-style ;)
My favorite aspect of Sam’s photography style is her ability to capture raw emotion. The candids of our wedding were incredible. Sam is extremely detail oriented. When I flip through our finalized gallery, I see small, sentimental details from the day that I never would’ve thought about front and center. With Sam, we never felt any stress and were comfortable enough to be ourselves in front of the camera.
Her work is raw, authentic and completely captures the beauty of arguably, some of the most special days and moments of your life. Sam cares, and she takes the time to make sure that you know that, both in conversation and behind the lens. You truly do hire a photographer and leave with a friend"
I am not a person who enjoys getting my photo taken, and I am more self-conscious than most. My biggest fear for my wedding day was that I wouldn’t feel beautiful when I looked at my photos. Every image that Sam captured makes me feel more beautiful than I ever have. She put everybody at ease, not just Brendan and I. Everyone in our bridal party as well as our guests complimented on how sweet and fun she was to work with. You will not only gain a wedding photographer, but a life long friend!
Ready to make this official? Woohoo!
I'll send along a full proposal that includes a contract & invoice. A $2,000 nonrefundable retainer will need to be paid to secure your wedding date. Once that's locked and loaded, I'll send you a questionnaire to organize our next steps!
Please note that I do book out pretty far in advance, so it's best to get in touch with me sooner rather than later, to avoid any disappointment.
I look forward to meeting you soon. x
