Capturing memories

5.0

Samuel was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first conversation, he made us feel relaxed, supported, and completely heard. He walked us through the timeline, gave thoughtful suggestions, and genuinely cared about making the day smooth and stress-free. On the wedding day, Samuel went above and beyond — keeping us calm, helping guide family and bridal party photos, and stepping in whenever we needed an extra hand. It honestly felt like we had both a photographer and a coordinator watching out for us. Our photos came back so quickly, and they were absolutely beautiful. He captured every moment naturally and effortlessly — all the laughter, all the emotions, all the tiny details we didn’t even realize were happening. We can’t say enough wonderful things about Samuel. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, caring, and truly invested in your day, he’s the one. We’d work with him again in a heartbeat.

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

Apricot Love Photography specializes in capturing weddings with a natural, documentary approach. My focus is on real emotions, meaningful connections, and the quiet in-between moments that often become the most cherished memories. I work in an unobtrusive, easygoing way so couples can feel comfortable and fully present on their wedding day. While I prioritize candid storytelling, I also offer gentle guidance when needed to ensure portraits feel relaxed, flattering, and true to you. From intimate celebrations to full wedding days, my goal is to create timeless images that don’t just show how your day looked — but how it truly felt.

and real. Looking back at our gallery, we can feel the joy of the day all over again. After the wedding, we also received a beautifully packaged linen box with prints, along with a USB drive of all our edited images. Having both the digital and printed photos means so much to us—it’s something we’ll treasure forever. We are so grateful for Samuel’s talent and professionalism, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a photographer!

her—and we’re so glad we chose him. His style is timeless yet natural, and it fit perfectly with the atmosphere of our wedding. On the wedding day, he made us feel completely comfortable (which is no small thing—we’re usually so awkward in front of the camera!). He had this calm, encouraging way of guiding us without making anything feel posed, and the candid moments he captured were beyond what we ever expected. When we got our gallery back, we were blown away. Every detail, every laugh, every little emotion was preserved so beautifully. We honestly couldn’t be happier. Our only “problem” now is that we love so many of the photos, it’s hard to narrow them down for our album! Choosing Samuel was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

I look back at my wedding photos so often and always end up having a smile on my face. Despite being the only photographer at our wedding, he was able to capture so many of the precious moments on our wedding day that would usually be overlooked. He has an eye for the perfect shot. I would 100% recommend Him.
