AUSTIN IS AMAZING!!!!!! He was seriously the savior of our wedding. Our venue & coordinator completely threw us for a spin by not doing their jobs, & both Austin & Victor stepped u...
p & literally saved the day.
Not only did this duo capture every single moment we wished for perfectly, but they were friendly to every single guest at our wedding, and felt like friends rather than vendors. We were so happy to party the night away with them.
I recommend Austin & his team to any couple looking for the perfect photographer & videographer!!!!
Thank you Austin & Victor!!!! Sending our love to you both!!!!!!!
We hired Austin to be our photographer for our wedding. We had a small wedding of about 30 people. Since we decided not to do a videographer, Austin had a package that came with ...
two photographers that we choose. Austin met with us multiple times the months leading up to the wedding to gather information he needed to do his job, and also gave us some advice for the wedding day. He is an extremely chill and nice person who really cares about you. The pictures came out great, and he was able to provide a few high quality pictures within 3 days of the wedding, and the enter collection was available online in a 5-6 weeks. We also paid to have him make an photo album, which he tailored to how we wanted it and it turned out awesome. Overall we had a great experience with Austin and we would recommend him to anyone.
We're from Canada and planned a fairly last minute small wedding in Palm Desert with Sam & Austin as our photographers. They were so easy to deal with. It was important to me to ge...
t all of the hi-res images and knew I would want to do my own print orders - all which was a non-issue with them. They had a great on-boarding process which made the day-of go seamlessly. I really enjoyed having the dual photographers so they could work together as well as split off when necessary. They were calm, funny, and high quality. Highly recommend.
Sam and Austin come very highly recommended from my wife and I. Perfect marks all around, and someone we would want to use for any future photo shoots. We have worked with them o...
n three separate photo shoots: a traditional engagement photo shoot, a non-traditional outdoor beach elopement photo shoot, and a more traditional outdoor wedding ceremony and indoor reception photo shoot. The biggest highlights working with these amazing photographers are the quality of photos, their flexibility.
Quality of photos - I was amazed with every set of photos Sam and Austin shot and edited. From each photo shoot, we had plenty of options to choose from for announcements/save the dates/invites/thank yous. We received plenty of compliments on how gorgeous our wedding photos turned out.
Flexibility - Prior to 2020, we had worked with Sam and Austin on an engagement photo shoot and planned on a November 2020 Temecula wedding. Unfortunately, we had two different venue related cancellations. Following our second venue cancellation, we pivoted our plans to put together a micro wedding on the beach in 2020, with a larger wedding happening later on in 2021. Through all of this, Sam and Austin were very accommodating, and helpful in adjusting our contracts and dates. The day of each of our events it was awesome having Sam shooting the Bride’s side, Austin shooting the Groom’s side, and then both getting different perspectives of the actual ceremonies.
Sam and Austin come super highly recommended for any kind of photography.
I'm a local wedding planner and I had the pleasure of working with Sam + Austin for a wedding this month. As a planner, I only want the best for my clients, so leading up to the we...
dding, I'm looking for vendors that are responsive to my emails and are easy and enjoyable to work with. Sam + Austin are both of those things, and much more! They were quick to address any emails from me leading up to the big day, which made my life so much easier because I didn't have to keep following up with them. Come wedding day, I had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside them, and they are just the sweetest! They work efficiently (again, a big bonus from a planner's perspective), they are communicative, and they have such big hearts for their couples. Take it from another professional in the industry...your wedding day is only as good as the team you have making it happen, and with Sam + Austin, you won't be disappointed.
I am so thankful for Sam and Austin! I needed to find a wedding photographer that would make my non-photo taking husband comfortable and more sure of himself. Sam and Austin were j...
ust the couple to do that! Not only were they able to make us smile and relax, they were both so tentative and thoughtful throughout the whole wedding ceremony and reception. It was just an absolute pleasure to work with them and have their calming presence on such a high stress day. I cannot recommend working with them enough!
Going with Sam and Austin was the best decision we made. At first we were nervous about how our engagement photo session would turn out but Sam and Austin made us feel comfortable ...
right away. They were professional, knowledgeable and so fun! I loved the little tips they gave us along the way that made the biggest difference in our poses. We enjoyed our engagement photo session with Sam and Austin so much that we knew we could count on them with our wedding photos too. They were quick and responsive to our questions and I loved how Sam prepared a detailed overview of our plan before the wedding. They were also respectful to our culture and everybody loved them. The following day was the Father's day and they sent us a few photos with our dads. I really appreciated that gesture of kindness. The photos turned out great and we were surprised how natural and good we looked in our photos. I would highly recommend Sam and Austin to anybody. They are professional, attentive to detail, talented, and just good people in general.
Without a doubt, one of the most important aspects of our wedding that I and my husband wanted to preserve were our photographs. Eternal memories of our beautiful day needed specia...
l attention, especially since our wedding was small, intimate and with very little time for everything. I remember that night sending several emails to photographers, but only one of them asked directly if "they were our photographers?", and the next day Sam answered absolutely! We started talking and we managed to agree on the details; from the beginning, I could feel Sam was really interested in making my (our) day as easy and beautiful as possible.
In our wedding day Sam and Austin, were early, and willing to start with all the photographs that we had scheduled, first look, romantic, getting ready etc, they are very patient and respectful of how nervous I could be or our families.
Finally, we receive our beloved photographs, these precious memories that we will keep forever, simply beautiful, elegant and classy. We are so happy to have found Sam and Austin, they are so loving, funny and professional, we love them! We love you guys!
P.S.: They take their time, to get together and know you and your fiance, I think you cannot put a value on that.
Where to even begin !
Sam and Austin were recommended to us by a close friend of our family, just by looking at they’re work I knew we had to book.
Sam and Austin were absolutely ...
amazing from beginning to end. My husband and I had never taken professional photos together and we were honestly a little nervous, but that all went out the window after we met Sam and Austin. They’re such an amazing team they’re easy to work with, knowledgeable, hilarious, fun and made us feel so comfortable throughout every step. The photographs captured the most intimate and detailed moments of our engagement and our wedding in such a beautiful and unique way. From engagement photos, to our wedding photos we cannot say enough great things about them and their work. We look forward to working with her throughout all of our life events. Thank you both so much for these amazing memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives , you guys are the best .
Sam and Austin were awesome photographers for our wedding! We had to postpone our original wedding date and had to find a new photographer and i'm so glad i found them. They were ...

As soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted Sam to shoot my wedding! Her photography was always so beautiful capturing these incredibly moments and making it so effortless. Sam is so ...
sweet and made myself and my husband feel so comfortable in both our engagement shoot as well as our wedding because him and I are both very awkward infront of the camera haha. When we received our sneak peek if our wedding photos it brought tears to my eyes because they were more than what I could imagine! Thank you so so much Sam for your incredible work, you were the 1 person who I wanted to capture our wedding and I am so grateful you were still able to do that even during the state that the world is in now. Justin and I cannot wait to line our home with these incredible photos!
Sam & Austin are WONDERFUL! We scheduled an engagement photo session with them and they were so lovely work with -- from start to finish! They helped us find the perfect location a...
nd made us feel totally comfortable throughout the entire shoot. They turned around our photos super fast and we LOVE every single one of them! The photos are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to share them with our friends and family! Thank you SO much Sam & Austin!
Samantha is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I got married in November and we wanted photos that felt soft and romantic to match our desert wedding. We ended up doing an engage...
ment session with her a couple months before the wedding and we had a blast getting to know her and her husband Austin, who is also a fabulous photographer. We felt like we were on a double date instead of posing for photos, and it really helped us feel comfortable for the day of the wedding. They were an awesome team, super professional and very easy to talk to. Samantha asked lots of great questions leading up to the big day, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Great price, great people...and we can't wait to use them again for maternity photos (when we're ready for kids haha)!
Samantha and Austin are amazing photographers. Me being a photographer myself, it was crucial for me to hire someone I trusted to shoot my wedding. I didn't want just anyone, but s...
omeone who was genuine, down to earth, understanding of my needs and wants and easy to work with. Both Samantha and Austin exceeded my expectations on all fronts and captured the most magical day of my life universally perfect. I couldn't be happier with the wedding photos. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking hire for couples portraiture, engagement sessions and weddings. Love ya guys! Thank you!!!
