About this vendor
Western Wisconsin-based adventurous elopement and destination photographer for the wild & goofy soulmates!!
--- I am only shooting intimate elopements and weddings!!! (50 guests or less!) ---
HEYYY HEYYY! I'm Sam, an adventurous elopement and couples photographer that's also a certified fangirl for the Jonas Brothers and Adam Driver! I tend to overuse exclamation points and gifs when I'm texting and emailing, just to make sure you know how excited I am to tell your story!
I believe weddings are all about two soulmates proclaiming their love for each other, nothing else. You deserve an unforgettable adventure and to have your epic love story told. Because love is love, no matter what!
If you're looking for a photographer that you can be crazy with, that won't make you pose awkwardly, that hypes you up with some fire tunes, and that will be with you every step of the way - I GOT YOU!!!!

Sam was AMAZING. Not only did she help us figure out how to get our elopement planning moving, she hunted down answers for us and was a constant voice of reassurance. Sam has alway...
s got your back, whether that comes to questions about other vendors (seriously, she recommended pretty much all of other vendors), transporting your cake from the baker (ha!), and most of all, taking bomb pictures.
While planning our elopement was a breeze with her assistance, by far the best part was how natural and normal she helped us feel while taking photos. There was no awkward posing or holding perfectly still in arranged positions, but rather holding hands and taking short walks or spinning around and just laughing together. Seriously, we were laughing in so many moments!
If you’re a couple looking for an elopement photographer that goes above and beyond and who will support you and take awesome photos, Sam is your person. Also, if you love gifs and nerdy jokes, she will come through for you! We can’t recommend her highly enough!
Sam and Zoey were an absolute gems and amazing to work with on our wedding day! Sam was super responsive and answered all emails and texts within minutes! She put us at ease the d...
ay of the wedding and let us have our moments as we needed than and even reminded us to take those moments to soak everything in. Sam makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (especially because we are in the shy side) and she makes the day fun. She even busted some moves on the dance floor with us 💃🏼 The day after the wedding she had sneak peaks out to us right away which was super fun to see when we woke up. Big big thank you to sam and Zoey! You guys are rockstars ! (Side note: Sam worked so well with our videographers that my husband and bridal party thought they were a team and not hired separately)
