I'm honestly having a hard time writing this review, because I know once I hit post, then my time with Sam will be done, which is just so sad because she is seriously BEYOND amazing. I first contacted Sam what felt like eons ago, and she did a ...great job of keeping in contact me, even as 2020 fell upon us. She reassured me that she would still be there for our wedding, emailing back against all my paranoid fears and anxiety induced dread. She was nothing short of a pure beam of light the entire time, from first consultation to the last edited photo.
Since we're not from the area, Sam was gracious enough to offer to do photos with us the night before our wedding, even though it involved driving to the highest mountain in Acadia even though we were all PETRIFIED of heights. While Cadillac Mt was overflowing with people, you could not see a SINGLE ONE from the photos she took, and the same applied to the photos we took in Acadia on our wedding day. Despite the stresses that the day brought, the changing of plans and the keeping of schedules, Sam remained nothing short of positive the entire time. Oh, and did I mention that her photos are STUNNING as well? Turns out, when you're a beam of light, you have a talent for finding and manipulating light as well, which is exactly what Sam did. I cannot help but keep going through our wedding galleries over and over again, because I'm obsessed with them all and her attention to detail and contrast. And going through the galleries takes quite some time, as she doesn't have a limit on how many photos she takes or how many she gives you. She goes through the time to edit each and every single photo she takes that day. If I sound like I'm gushing, it's because I am.
We couldn't imagine our wedding day without her. All of my guests that came in contact with her said she was the most organized, professional, and sweet photographer they had ever worked with. This year has been absolutely insane, and to have someone telling you that everything will be all right, to take photos and tell you you're beautiful and make you feel beautiful? I don't think any bride can ask for anything better.
Make your wedding day less stressful. Make your wedding photos something that you look back at and smile every single time. She was absolutely amazing, and I'm going to honestly miss working with her.
