My daughter wanted a photojournalistic photographer for her wedding. We met with Sam and our search was over. He is very professional, very friendly and warm and put us at ease immediately. HIs pictures are beautiful, real and natural. When you book Sam, he is there from 2 hours before the ceremony and stays until the reception is over. None of this 2 hour, 3 hour 4 hour mess. There are different packages but they are not necessarily based on time as in 2 hrs, 3 hrs 4 hrs at the reception. Rather, they are based on "deliverables" - meaning engagement session, bridal session, proof books etc. He works hard the entire time! The photos were available online within a week. The proof books were delivered to us within a month and a half of the wedding. We had heard horror stories about some brides having to wait a year to get them from other photographers or in some cases they didn't get them at all. Sam is the ultimate professional in this industry and recently completed his PhD in photojournalism. This is his life's work. This is the photographer you want for your son or daughter's wedding.
We loved Sam. I interviewed many photographers before Sam, and when we met him we knew he was the one! He is just awesome. We did an engagement photo shoot in Bayville Park and at the beach and had so much fun. On my wedding day he was a calming presence. We were late getting ready and it rained, but Sam just went with the flow. He really relieved a lot of stress. We did the getting ready pictures and a first look, which turned out great. The family portraits and wedding party pictures were fantastic. The rest of the night Sam got so many great shots, but we never noticed him around. The only staged pictures were the family and wedding party pictures, and for the rest Sam just captured the emotion of the night....even the awkward dance moves! We had so many laughs looking through the photos. We couldn't believe he captured so many moments without us knowing he was there. Sam is the best!
We were delighted to have Sam cover our wedding reception. Too bad it rained during the ceremony but, Sam was generous enough to offer us an extra session the next day to take some portrait shots for us. He is very easy going and professional. I highly recommend his services.
wonderful to work with, great pix
Sam was wonderful to work with. My daughter wanted photojournalistic style photo and that is exactly what Sam gave us. He does not work by the hour but rather by the job. He showed up early and stayed until the bride and groom left.
Sam was wonderful to work with. he showed up on time and keep us all come under the pressures of the day. Loved the proof books would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer on their wedding day.
