the moody and fun photographer
Hello!
My name is Sam.
Let’s be clear — I love weddings. Not just the wedding day, but the whole love story that gets us there and all the details in between.
As an educator, I learned how to celebrate and encourage others as an individual. I believe that this allows teachers to do our very best work. As a wedding photographer, my philosophy is fiercely the same. Since no two couples, families, weddings are the same, I’m proud to say I look at each wedding like it’s my first.
This is YOUR story. I am here to help you tell it.
I'm here to be your calm within the storm as I bring my skills of adaptability and a sharp eye for detail to each and every wedding. From orchestrating group shots or capturing those forever-cherished candid moments, I strive to tell each couple's unique story to help ensure your day is stress-free, fun, and beautifully captured.
I can' t wait to hear your love story!
xoxo Sam
"Sam's blend of professionalism and creativity made her a perfect fit for us. As two self-identified unphotogenic people, we didn't have poses in mind, but rather an overall vibe.
She took our ideas, combined them with her artistic vision, and ran with it- and our pictures came out better than we could have ever imagined."
-Leah & Andrew
my philosophy
Choosing your wedding photographer isn't easy. My biggest tip? Book a photographer you get along with: someone you like, someone who gets you. You'll be spending most of your wedding day with this person! It's worth making sure you can communicate and like being around them.
So -- if you're thinking about bringing me on your team to capture your wedding day memories, I'd be thrilled to meet with you and your fiancé. We can grab a coffee, a cocktail, and dream about your big day together.
No strings attached.
In inviting me to be a part of your wedding team, you're not just bringing on a body with a camera. My job is to be your ringleader, cheerleader, queen-of-the-details so that everything else is easy, fun, and beautiful on the day of your wedding.
(But seriously, I will probably be crying behind the camera at some point, and I know how to get out on the dance floor with a camera in hand, too.) If you're looking for an upbeat, relational, and detail-oriented photographer, let's talk!
Every moment of your wedding day has beauty to capture, so let's include it all. The Opal Wedding package ensures your entire day is captured, from getting ready to getting down on the dance floor.
