I can't say enough about Sam and Chris! They were extremely professional, timely, and incredible to work with. The quality of their work is exceptional, and they captured all of the important moments of our big day. If you choose to book Sam + Chris for your wedding or event, you can rest assured, you will receive the highest quality of service, every time.
These guys just blew me away with their professionalism, expertise and very personal service. They are so easy to work with. Both Sam and Chris are down to earth people, easygoing and flexible but also very hard working. They offered creative suggestions while at the same time respected our "vision" as a couple. They made me feel like a star on my wedding day and the pictures made us look like models. They just seem to understand light, shadows and color in a way that other photographers don't. My best advice to future brides is to splurge on the best photographer you can find because the pictures are what last forever (not the music or the food). It was only when we finally hung up our wedding pictures that our house felt like a home. Sam and Chris definitely know how to capture that love and energy and they are worth every penny!
My wife and I were just married this year, and we used Sam+Chris Photography. This is easily one of the best decisions we could have ever made. Having received a degree in Broadcast Production, I know a bit about photography and camera work, and I have to admit--Samantha is the consummate professional when it comes to photography. She has a phenomenal artistic eye and a deep understanding of her craft.
Sam and Chris are a fantastic team, easy to work with and completely in sync. We had the privilege of using their services for our engagement pictures and wedding photos. Sam+Chris offered a variety of affordable package options, leaving my wife and me feeling that we had freedom over our choices without breaking the bank. The process of shooting was even great. After speaking to us both to find out what we had in mind, Sam and Chris tailored the entire process to our personalities and needs. For our engagement pictures, Sam suggested some great ideas, and we enjoyed an adventure traveling to some picturesque locations around New Orleans. While posing for pictures can sometimes feel unnatural or awkward, they made shooting a comfortable, enjoyable experience that didn't feel at all like work. If anything, I was almost disappointed when it was over since we were all having fun. Throughout the day, Sam demonstrated real intuition for the best shots and poses. She chose gorgeous angles while proposing creative ideas for poses that conveyed the relationship personality of my wife and me. Additionally, she exhibited a knack for knowing when to improvise and experiment, following her instincts to generate some stunning material.
For the wedding, Sam and Chris brought the same level of quality, traveling all the way to Florida to capture our beach wedding. Through their vision and expertise, Samantha and Chris perfectly captured our special day in a way that will help us relive it forever. The beach shots are incredible, and their knowledge of lighting and angles helped facilitate the entire process. Moreover, Sam and Chris captured some touching, tender moments from the wedding--moments that only a true photographer could really capture. So many weddings look the same in photos, but Sam and Chris displayed prowess by conveying a real sense of individuality and personality in our photos. Furthermore, we were amazed at the writing-with-sparkler shots that Sam recommended (what a neat photography trick!). Sam and Chris really showed off their excellent teamwork skills while pulling off this highly-involved, exciting part of our night.
In the end, the remarkable work and artistry speaks for itself. The breath-taking photos
are a tour de force. My wife and I love the finished product, and we are so absolutely grateful for all of the hard work Sam and Chris put into making our engagement and wedding so special. They are such a joy to work with and be around. I can't express enough how happy we were with our decision, and we'd gladly recommend them to everyone.
We used Sam+Chris for our engagement pictures and for our beach wedding in Pensacola, Fl. Everything about our experience with them was amazing! All of our pictures were incredible. I got so many compliments on them. It was really difficult to choose just a few favorites to hang in our home. They are both very friendly and easy to work with. We got a ton of fantastic pictures at a great price. Every moment was captured perfectly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for engagement and/or wedding photographers.
Sam and Chris exceeded expectations in photographing all of the events of the big day. I especially loved the way they captured of all of our guests celebrating at the reception.
Sam & Chris were awesome at my sister's wedding! Not only were they super friendly and helpful, but the pictures came out beautifully. They did not make it feel like there was a big photographer presence during the ceremony or the reception, but they managed to capture so many special moments. I'm so grateful for their help, and I would definitely recommend them!
Samantha and Chris were wonderful to work with, as they were able to capture many special moments of the wedding party and our guests at both the ceremony and the reception, while remaining very unobtrusive--it was almost like they were not even there.Their photos are very professional appearing, and their presentation makes it very easy to look at and order the pictures you really want. On top of all of this, Samantha and Chris are so nice, it is almost like they are part of the family. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Sam+Chris was nothing short of amazing. They were open to my ideas and had amazing ideas of their own. My pictures were incredible, so many people have complimented me on them. It was a great working relationship from beginning to end. I will definitely use them for future photography needs and would recommend them to anyone!!!
Sam and Chris were absolutely amazing. They could not have been easier to work with and were 1000% accommodating to any requests we had. (They even followed us to our house after the ceremony to get a couple shots there.) I've been to a bunch of weddings where I noticed the photographer more than the bride and groom, and was very seriously considering not having any photographs at our ceremony at all to make sure there wasn't anything to take away from the moment. Sam and I talked about it in advance and I shouldn't have worried. I actually have no idea where she was standing at the Church but she and Chris got some wonderful shots that I'm thrilled we have. I know they do a lot of portraits for other people but we really wanted more candid photos documenting the night. They moved seamlessly throughout all of our guests during the reception and really captured some great moments. I couldn't be happier.
Sam + Chris were a great find! Samantha was the photographer at my bridesmaid's wedding and my she had nothing but good things to say. So when it came time to pick my wedding photographer, it was an easy decision.
Sam + Chris were very easy to work with. They were able to customize my photography package (swapping out the engagement shots for an extra hour before the wedding). Samantha was also very responsive to all of my emails - especially in the days leading up to my wedding when I was spazzing out over the impending storm. Luckily, the rain stayed away, but Samantha had lots of ideas for a rain plan.
On the day of the wedding, Sam + Chris were awesome! They were prompt and friendly, and Sam was a great help in keeping me on schedule. They'd scouted out fun locations for our bridal party shoot - a random alley next to my venue, that I wouldn't have looked at twice. But it was an awesome backdrop, and the pictures are amazing. She and Chris were both so professional, and coached me and my husband through our poses.
Knowing that I was antsy to see some shots from the wedding, Samantha was great and texted me a few shots the day after my wedding so I could share with all of my friends. She also posted to facebook and instagram.
Sam + Chris sent the rest of my photos in the timeframe that they promised. When the flash drive of photos arrived in the mail, it was like Christmas. I'm so grateful that I can relive my wedding day through their gorgeous photos.
Sam did our engagement and wedding photos, and we could not have been more happy! She captured moments that I did not even know could be captured. One of my favorite photos was from our first dance....there was a single teardrop streaming down my face as my wife and I danced. It was a very emotional moment, and Sam was able to capture that moment on film. Hire Sam and Chris for all of your photography needs! We are so glad that we did!
We used Sam+Chris for our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be happier with them! My husband and I are not photogenic at all, but Sam made us look great and made us really warm up to the camera (as we are also quite camera shy and do not do PDA well)! Super flexible, affordable, and fun to work with! I would absolutely choose them again!
We used Sam for our engagement photos a while back and were very happy with our choice. Sam was great fun and spent extra time with us in order to make sure we got some great pictures. We're not very photogenic, and she managed to get a lot of great shots. The turnaround for the photos was quick, too, and we got a USB of all of the images. Not to mention the price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend Sam+Chris to anyone!
Sam took my engagement shots and I can't wait to see my wedding photos! I can't begin to describe how many compliments I received on these pictures! She found the true essence of me and my fiancés relationship and displayed it beautifully. We both had an instant connection and she made us feel so comfortable (since we felt awkward in front of the camera at first). We ended up laughing the whole time. I am 100% confident in this team to capture memories that that me, my fiancé, family, and future children will cherish for a lifetime!
