We were married on New Year's Eve at Saint John's Resort, and choosing our photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made for our black-tie, magical celebration - and our very ...

first night stepping into the new year as husband and wife. From the start, Sam was thoughtful, organized and genuinely invested in telling our story. On our wedding day, his calm, steady energy balanced the excitement of the evening perfectly. Sam made everything feel seamless and relaxed - which is no small feat on NYE!! I do not love my picture being taken however, I have NEVER felt more beautiful - he truly made me feel like a movie star! Sam offered just the right amount of guidance to help us feel confident, while still allowing us to be completely ourselves. The result is a collection of photos that are timeless, emotional and breathtaking. Every image brings us right back to the magic of that night and the joy of beginning our forever together! Also, having his daughter Loreen, from their LA studio alongside him made the experience even more meaningful. You can see that photography isn't just a business for them - it's a passion and a family craft. We are endlessly grateful and will treasure and cherish these beautiful photos forever!

If I could give Sam more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! He is hands down the best photographer on the planet. From start to finish, everything was seamless. He captured moments ...

that were BEYOND our expectations and every photo is a masterpiece. Sam made my husband and I feel completely at ease, guiding us through every pose to make sure we looked our best. His direction, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched. He’s truly a master of his craft, and we’re incredibly grateful for the memories he captured so beautifully on our wedding day. I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Sam!

-Overall: We loved working with Sam and his daughter Loreen – they were professional, kind, and captured so many wonderful moments at our May wedding. -Photo Style: We hired Sam an...

d his daughter Loreen for our wedding photos for their cinematic qualities. We looked at several photographers, but we saw a lot of photos that looked like they could have been taken with an iPhone. Sam is different - his style is classic photography, and Loreen's attention to detail really complimented Sam's style. -Working with Sam and Loreen: We did many portraits as a couple and with our wedding party, and Sam and Loreen worked the room during our cocktail hour and reception. In addition, we interviewed Sam and he reassured us that working with my brother, Seth, who is autistic, wouldn't be a problem - and it wasn't! Sam and Loreen gave great, clear instruction, which is always helpful and appreciated.

Having my photographer cancel on me for my wedding was one of the best things that ever happened. Sam Sarkis quickly stepped in, was responsive and professional. Sam handled the ch...

allenges of photographing during COVID-19 with creativity and confidence. He also did an outstanding job in photographing my 3 year old niece. He was fun to work with, artistic, and flexible. I highly recommend Sam for photographing your next event.

easure to work with while planning my wedding and my favorite vendor! His pictures speak for themselves — he has an eye for beauty and I wouldn’t want anyone else to capture my special day in pictures but him and his team. I can’t stress enough how amazing he is! Book him for your wedding — I promise you won’t regret it!

Sam and his daughter Loreen were our photographers for our wedding this past October. All I can say is they truly are amazing at their craft and take the utmost pride in it! From ...

our engagement photos until now, they have been the easiest to work with, professional in every way, and always knew what we were looking for when we were maybe not sure ourselves. Our wedding photos came back to us in amazing time and they are simply breathtaking! The morning of, Loreen was with me and my bridesmaids. She made me feel so calm and relaxed when things got a little hectic. So not only were they there for their priority of taking pictures, they took a personal interest in us! And that was like that the entire year!

Sam does an exceptional job with making sure he and his team are there to assist you from the planning process to the actual wedding day. He is always reachable for any questions o...

r ideas you may have. On my wedding day he even helped me to pose to get the perfect photos. Sam is truly talented and he is the first vendor I chose in my planning process. He made the day so fun and exciting for my husband and I. He was exactly on time and stayed with us the whole day and night! We love Sam!! Our wedding photos turned out spectacular and when he sent us our wedding book, I cried. He captured every important moment, and now I can look back and remember my wedding day forever!! Thank you Sam!!

So professional! Has an eye for detail! My photos came out so beautifully. I am in the process of picking out what pictures I want for my album and it is so hard. Thank you so much...

Sam for sharing my special day with me! It means the world to me and Shawn! Love, The new Travis couple

Really loved working with this father-daughter team! Loreen did our engagement shoot in California which we had so much fun at. We also hired Sam and Loreen together to shoot our ...

rehearsal dinner and wedding. I was always set on having a few dramatic/ artistic pictures taken for our wedding. It's the style I was looking for and I got a few in my wedding album which I'm happy about. I definitely recommend taking time to look for photos/ styles on pinterest so you know what kind of shots you would like for the wedding and you can relay that to Sam & Loreen so they can also make sure it's captured. I also liked that my husband and me were never 'over posed'. I hate posey stiff shots and I never had to worry about getting those. Definitely recommend!

My husband and I had the rare pleasure of working with both Loreen AND Sam (we live in Los Angeles, and got married in MI), and I have to say, it doesn't matter which half of this ...

father/daughter duo you get, because you're not only going to get fantastic photos that you'll love forever, but you'll be working with a photographer who is genuinely kind-hearted as well as professional. We ran into a couple of snafus during the planning process, and Sam was beyond understanding, accommodating, and PATIENT. I recommend Sarkis Studios to any and EVERYONE!

I have absolutely nothing but wonderful things to say about Sam Sarkis Photography! Sam photographed our wedding so beautifully it feels as if we relive the day every time we look ...

at our album. He did such an great job of telling our story in pictures, just the way we had envisioned. We did the normal family photos but also unique and candid photos were taken throughout the ceremony. Our happiness and joy were caught in such a way that you can feel it when looking at the pictures. If you want the memories of your special day captured with amazing photography skills, I recommend Sam Sarkis Photography, you won't be disappointed.

I recently got married on October 11, 2014 and I can honestly say Sam Sarkis is the best in the business. His photographs speak for themselves. They are beyond beautiful and capt...

ure every important moment of your day. He is completely open to requests. For example, I wanted certain photos taken at my venue and Sam made sure he did all those photos and more. He adds his artistic twist, which makes the photos even more beautiful. Sam is a pleasure to work with and made my wedding day very special!

re something we did not want to skimp on since that is the memories of your wedding that you will have forever. I've seen so many of the "you get what you pay for" wedding photos and I did not want that. Sam was worth EVERY penny. We were overly pleased. Even my family loved him. He was fun & professional on the wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend Sam Sarkis!
