Pristine quality
My husband and I chose Sam to be our wedding photographer, and we are so glad that we did! She did an amazing job from start to finish. She is very professional, personable, and overall just a sweet human being. From the beginning, she was a great communicator and made sure to be on the same page as with our timeline on the day of. We had a lot of rain on our big day and not a lot of indoor space for photos, so she made sure to get as many photos as possible during the lulls in the rain. She even brought umbrellas for us and the bridal party to use during photos! The family photos and detail photos came out amazing, as well as the portraits of us and the bridal party. The album came back to us before the allotted timeframe and we are so very pleased with them, and cant wait to order some custom prints from her as well.

Fantastic. Whole experience top to bottom was great. Quality was excellent. Experience was top notch. She helped us manage a family Shoot coupled with a surprise event. Was great all around. Would recommend to anyone, and will use again should the need arise.

I can’t say enough about how AMAZING Sam has been! We booked Sam for our wedding, then decided to add an engagement photo session… the gallery she released is nothing short of incr...
edible! As someone who is very camera and photographer shy, she made me feel so at ease with my fiancé and captured our love and devotion in every shot. Her guidance was clear but subtle so it was very natural, and I’m so grateful that she was able to travel two hours away to one of our favorite locations! I am so stoked for our wedding day and getting to see how artfully and elegantly Sam captures every aspect. Thank you!!

An amazing photographer for your big day!!  Having the right photographer for your big day is very important and Sam Lauersdorf is the one you want.  Not only are the photos great ...
but the organization and flow of the day was perfect for my wedding because of Sam Lauersdorf.  She really captures your special day with love and care and in some unique ways also that is fun.  My wedding would’ve been a colossal mess if not for Sam Lauersdorf keeping people in check for photos and videos schedule for everyone to follow.  Also, I can’t forget to mention the cool drone shot she got for my wedding which I would recommend 10/10.  If anyone is looking for that perfect photographer Sam Lauersdorf Photography + Videography is the one you want hands down!
