Samantha Laffoon Photography

g the planning process if we didn't have Sam and Matt to guide us. All of our images are breathtakingly beautiful and they truly captured our personalities. They will also be photographing our maternity session and images of our little one later this year! I know we will continue to use Sam and Matt in the future for all our special events :)

eginning. Our wedding photos turned out beautiful and we are so pleased with them. We would both highly recommend Sam and Matt and we plan to use them again in the future.

as on the day of the wedding. When my husband and I got engaged, Samantha was the very first vendor we hired for our wedding! Up to now, we have hired Samantha for our engagement photos, our wedding day, our maternity photos and even our upcoming newborn photo session. Samantha and Matt make you feel comfortable during your photo sessions by helping you pose in positions that feel natural and by making you laugh (which always produces more genuine smiles and reactions.) Some of my favorite photos from our sessions are of my husband and I laughing with each other. I also love the light and airy editing and classic style Samantha uses for her photography. The style feels timeless, and I know we'll love the photos we already have for decades. Samantha and Matt are extremely thoughtful and passionate about the work they do and worth every penny. I'm so grateful my sister introduced me to their work years ago, and we can't wait for future photos sessions of our growing family!

ut!!! We didn’t feel weird about being in front of the camera at all, they are so comforting and made the whole process so much fun!! They created a timeline for our wedding day pictures and I was so impressed with their organization! They made sure to go above and beyond of what we wanted. Very professional and definitely know what they are doing! I am truly blown away by their photography skills! So sweet and kind by giving us special gifts that we will forever cherish. I HIGHLY recommend!!! We are so excited to be working with them again soon for our newborns! Will definitely be using them for many years to come. LOVE!!

e wedding they were so organized and easy to communicate with. The wedding day itself they showed up early and were extremely prepared. The timeline of photos was very well organized and thought out, and Sam and Matt both captured every last exciting/fun/emotional moment of the whole wedding. My husband and I as well as our whole family were all extremely happy with how everything turned out and we would all highly recommend Sam and Matt!

xtremely professional and genuinely kind people. My husband and I felt so comfortable working with them. All of our pictures turned out amazing!! I was very impressed with how organized and timely they were as well. Samantha created a timeline prior to the wedding day and went over it with me to ensure they would be getting pictures of everything we wanted on our special day. We got all of our pictures back quickly and it has been so fun to relive our big day! Sam & Matt are very talented photographers and we loved getting to know them! We definitely hit the photographer jackpot with them. If you're looking for a professional photographer, I highly recommend hiring them!

welcome and post wedding surprises, to the wedding day where it was smooth, flexible but structured, laid back, and well-directed when you’re the kind of person who doesn’t know what to do with your hands in front of a camera haha! Their energy and ability to work together well plays into the fact that they know good photography, and that’s a perfect recipe for a perfect vendor who is giving us a lifetime of memories from our special day. Thank you Sam and Matt!!!!!!

n to Sam's photography style and after meeting with them we knew they were the perfect fit for us! They truly care about their clients and were very hands on from the beginning. She was so helpful to answer any of my questions and guide me perfectly throughout the process of what to expect on our big day! The turn around time she achieved for getting our pictures back was UNREAL and I could not have been happier with the final product! I can't wait for our wedding album to come in that she did an amazing job designing for us. I could not give this team better praises for their job on our wedding day! From start to finish they were ON IT and captured all of the shots :) Very professional and friendly and just all around fabulous to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing photographer for their wedding day!

nderful day and I can't stop looking at them. Sam was always very responsive and the turn around time for our pictures was very quick. Would highly recommend.

otos are so beautiful and completely captured every beautiful and memorable moment. They are friendly and genuinely good people. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone that asks! Worth every single penny!

re more than we could have ever imagined. Chad and I are playful and silly, but affectionate and mushy when we think no one is looking. They captured our love beautifully. Chad is painfully uncomfortable in front of any kind of audience or camera lens, but felt at ease with Sam & Matt's ideas and direction from the day we met. They took all of my feedback and created a detailed timeline for the day of our wedding; coordinating with all of our vendors and relieving me of a lot of stress. Sam 's presence is comforting and genuine. She knows her craft. She has great style and a warm heart. I loved having her around present while we all got ready the day of our wedding. We will always recommend Sam and Matt!

oth so kind and hilarious that we immediately felt at ease. Sam and Matt went above and beyond to take care of us! They are extremely organized, which was a blessing for this HIGHLY disorganized bride. The turnaround time felt almost instantaneous and their photos are gorgeous! We are going to treasure the candid moments that they captured and cannot thank them enough for being such a special part of our big day. I absolutely recommend them to any couple!!

remotely close to being on time for anything on our wedding day. She kept an eye on the time and ushered us from one thing to the next. She is very organized and her pictures are stunning! I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and Sam and Matt caught that in the pictures. They paid attention to details and captured all the pictures that I wanted and then some. They were a dream to work with and I would highly highly highly recommend them to everyone!

lt the connection immediately. She was so kind, bubbly and professional and I knew that I wanted her to be my photographer. Sam and Matt took pictures for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I couldn't be more happier. On my wedding day it rained off and on and despite the unfavorable weather.... my pictures still turned out great! I interviewed a few photographers before I met Sam and it came down to the connection and her personality for me! It was important that the person capturing my special day was easy to work with and I felt comfortable. I can't thank Sam and Matt enough for being our photographers! Love you guys :)

d states in the middle of wedding planning and Sam was amazing at staying in contact, she even helped me deal with wedding stress totally unrelated to her role. On the day of we had a few snags with the church we were getting married at and Sam handled it amazingly! She rolled with it and managed to capture our favorite photo. Only a true professional can adjust in short notice, help calm the bride and still capture a dream shot like it was all planned! My groom was anxious to get the reception and Sam captured all our photos in a short amount of time a big feat considering we didn't do a first look and had a 14 person wedding party! I could go on and on but honestly hiring Sam and her equally amazing husband Matt was the best decision we made! We have received many compliments on not only our photos but also on Sam and Matt personally! They made our love ones feel comfortable and captured them at their best!! We look forward to using Sam and Matt for more photos. Customers for life. C+S

my fiancé proposed, I had no clue it was even going to happen and they helped him plan the surprise every step of the way. They were able to capture every moment, smile, emotion and feeling during our engagement. I couldn't have asked for more during most romantic proposal ever... I CANNOT wait for them to photograph our wedding at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland this April. Not only will we have images that are swoon worthy, but will be the envy of all our friends and family! I HIGHLY recommend this duo for your big day, you will not be disappointed!

utiful gift of memories through images that are stunning and capture the joy and love we have for one another. Choosing Samantha Lafoon photography was without a doubt the perfect choice.

d, they were professional, accommodating and fun. My husband and I instantly felt comfortable around them during our engagement session and loved having them shoot our wedding day in Asheville! It happened to start raining RIGHT as we were about to start photos. Sam and Matt handled it like true professionals and we ended up with incredible pictures! We couldn't have asked for a better team to photograph such an important time in our lives. My husband doesn't love getting his photo taken so I was in awe when I saw the photos they were able to get. Every single one of them was more perfect than I could have hoped! I would recommend Sam a million times over and can't wait to use them in the future!

ouse. They scoped out locations prior to shooting, were open to the shots we were most interested in, and made sure to capture all of the special moments that can easily be forgotten during the craziness of your wedding day. You will absolutely be thrilled with the way your pictures turn out if you choose Samantha!

knew immediately upon interviewing Sam that she was the one. She is super talented, highly responsive, incredibly sweet, and really fun to work with. We hired her not only for our wedding, but also for an engagement shoot, my bridal portraits, and we also hired her to shoot our rehearsal dinner at the very last minute (the week of the event... talk about flexibility and great client service!). She was a joy to work with on all of those occasions, and really made my husband and me feel comfortable and relaxed while we were being photographed. We received a ton of compliments from our wedding guests about how friendly, polite, and non-intrusive Sam and Matt were at the wedding. They captured some amazing images that we will treasure forever. I can't recommend them highly enough!

were both a little nervous about the engagement photo session. Turns out we had no reason to worry, Sam and Matt had us laughing from the time we met up with them and by the end of the session it felt like the four of us were old friends. My bridal portrait session with Sam was a great way to do a trial run of my wedding day look and the images turned out beautifully! Finally, our wedding would not have run nearly as smoothly without Sam and Matt there! They had our timeline planned out weeks in advance (with buffer time added in that of course we ended up needing) and they navigated pre-wedding family conflicts like it was nothing. We had a great time with the two of them, they kept us calm and smiling, and in the end the images they captured were absolutely incredible (and they got them to us so quickly)! These two go above and beyond to make your whole wedding photography experience amazing and I can’t say enough good things about them!

My other photog friend helped me find Sam initially and she was eager to come to Charleston to shoot our wedding. The first time I talked with Sam on the phone, she was energetic and genuinely interested in Joe and I; she wanted to know our story and what led us to soon-to-be marriage. Matt and Sam traveled down to Charleston to shoot our engagement photos and then we went to a coffee and craft beer spot and sat and chatted for hours. Throughout the entire process, Sam was incredibly helpful to answer my questions and do things to make my dreams a reality. We spent a decent amount of time going over the details, and on the day of our wedding, I have not one complaint! Sam and Matt captured our wedding in such a beautiful and perfect way. They were on top of all the things we had requested and were flexible with us throughout the day. She helped us stick to the timeline which helped me remain calm and enjoy every moment. Matt and Sam are kind, genuine, talented, gifted, intentional and wonderful photographers. And to top it all off, Sam sent us SO MANY pictures for us to relive every moment of our special day. Book her now! :)

tos came out AMAZING, and I would recommended them to anyone!

nge one thing. I would recommend them over and over to anyone! There's a reason Sam was voted best in Charlotte!!

lot of the timing for the day and her survey helped me think through some of the details I might have otherwise missed. She even provided a SLP magazine with tips, tricks, timelines, etc. prior to the ceremony. She was so easy to work with, super responsive to email, and very accommodating of our schedules Sam and Matt could not have been nicer or more fun! Our engagement photos included our dogs on a SWELTERING day, which sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, but the photos are beautiful and we had a great time! Same with our ridiculously hot wedding- the photos are beautiful, and you would never know it was a thousand degrees! Highly recommended!

amazing to work with and their photography is truly something to brag about ☺ Thanks to the two of them, we are able to look back and have these wonderful memories of this happy time together! We truly appreciate how they were really able to capture our personalities within the photos, making us feel completely comfortable behind the camera. During our wedding day, they were anywhere and everywhere to get the perfect pictures! I cannot express our gratitude for all of their hard work. Since our wedding day, our family continues to discuss how Sam and Matt were always present to ensure they got all the loving, crazy, and funny moments that occurred that day/night. Most importantly, while our family noticed their presence, they were so discreet and truly allowed each moment to happen organically to capture those candid moments we truly desired. I can't describe how absolutely fantastic it was to work with them and our photos continue to impress us! We highly recommend their services and know that you will not be disappointed if you choose Sam and Matt to capture your day!!

municative and asked great questions to really get to know us and what we were looking for in a photographer. We had such a fun time experiencing their photography style at our engagement shoot and were so happy to have had this time together. I truly loved that our photos are available through a downloadable app on my phone that allows Brad and I to have full access to our photos at any time. At my bridal shoot, Sam and Matt helped me to navigate the details of my wedding gown, veil, shoes, and jewelry. I was very nervous to wear my gown for the first time and they made me feel very comfortable and excited for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, Sam and Matt worked very closely with my wedding planner and videographer! Brad and I knew that all the details of our wedding would be captured in the most beautiful way. We were even lucky enough to go to the rooftop of the hotel to take once in a lifetime photos that will forever hold a special place in my heart! We had been very concerned regarding the day's timeline and being able to accomplish all photos we had hoped for. Fortunately, Sam and Matt worked diligently to ensure we were able to do as much as possible and of course have a ton of fun while taking photos with our wedding party. I am so excited to receive our wedding photos (especially our reception reveal photos)! Thank you to Samantha Laffoon Photography for working so hard to capture our wedding day in the most beautiful, professional, and elegant manner. We will forever be thankful to have had you as part of our wedding team!

ed for some last minute family shots on our wedding day. They were both very flexible to work with our needs throughout the whole process. We got to preview lots of our shots online just a few weeks after the wedding, much quicker than I expected!! The pictures are gorgeous, we are so happy!

e to meet with them once in person before the big day, but you would've thought we had been friends for years. I had comments from family and friends saying "Your photographers were everywhere!" and after seeing the pics, they really were. I could not have hoped for our pictures to turn out half as good as they did. I have informed Samantha and Matt that they are officially our family photographers, even if we have to travel hours away to make that happen. I spoke with several photographers before deciding which to go with and I can promise you that they are the most reasonably priced for the friendliest service. They were one of our first phone calls a year later when we found we were expecting and they took beautiful anniversary/maternity pictures for us. Looking forward to working with them again in the future :)

lengthy event and desire to photograph from start to finish. Not only are they wonderful photographers, but they are wonderful people who really take the time to get to know you and what you envision for the big day! You can see the wonderful work they did at our June 20th wedding on their blog :)

ns, I knew she was going to be the perfect match for us. We had our engagement pictures done as well as our wedding pictures and I love love LOVE them both. They captured our special moments in such a fabulous way and I will forever be grateful for the beautiful memories that they left us with. I can't wait to have another excuse to have photographs done, just so we can have Samantha and Matt take more amazing pictures! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful photographer.

delighted with her work on a recent wedding and wanted to reach out to her. We interviewed several photographers to capture our Wedding Day, but Samantha had the most elegant photography and taste! AND she was the most genuine. From the very beginning, she was amazing to work with and took care of us throughout the entire process. I knew she was perfect to capture our special day from the day my husband and I met her. I can't say enough about this couple, but I know they are going to go far in their careers because they are very talented!! We love you Samantha and Matt!! -Michael and Meredith S.-

am admired her photos for years. When my husband and I got engaged I knew exactly who I wanted to do our photographs for our big day. We were so lucky to have her! To this day, people who came to our wedding and who have seen our pictures rave about them. When it comes to all the expenses of a wedding, someone gave me great advice and said that the photographs are what will last and be great to always have around, pull out, and remember that day. In the end, if you choose to have Samantha photograph your wedding, you will be left with beautiful, romantic, and artistic photographs. We couldn't be happier with them. :)

Samantha took our engagement photos which we were thrilled with! They were taken on a VERY hot day in July, Matt and Samantha made the process fun, enjoyable, and the photos they took really were beautiful. Samantha also met me at the church a couple weeks before our wedding to scope out photo locations. This put my mind at ease which is exactly what I needed! As the bride you want someone around you on your wedding day that keeps you calm, keeps you on track, and takes the lead when you need them. This is exactly what Samantha did for me! She put me at ease knowing that everything was going to turn out beautiful and she captured every bit of that on our wedding day. We could not be happier with the photographs she took, I have not stopped getting compliments from our family and friends. Everyone, including us are SO thrilled with how they turned out. She captured the day perfectly and honestly at the end of the day I was so sad to leave them because they were so great to be around! Samantha and her husband are so professional, flexible, organized, responsive, the list could go on! Thank you thank you thank you guys for capturing our dream day in an amazing way! :)

hand to find great places to shoot in Uptown. She went above and beyond and we couldn't be happier. The pictures turned out exactly how we imagined. She works alongside with her husband which was great to have a second hand to get those extra shots. I tend to be shy and self conscious with pictures and they made us feel comfortable. If we didn't already have a wedding photographer for our Wedding in Florida, we would have asked her to take them. We will call her for any other photography needs in the future. Highly Recommended!!!!

ly knew she is exactly who I wanted to capture my special day! Samantha and Matt are truly wonderful and make the couple feel extremely comfortable (which is hard for my shy husband!) They met with me multiple times before the wedding to get a true feel for the wedding theme, little details, and what meant the most to me. On the wedding day, they showed up in the morning and didn't leave until after the reception was over! To say they exceeded my expectations is still an under-statement. These two capture the most amazing moments and the final work comes out breath-taking (and they get the photos back to you SUPER fast!) Not only that, they sent my husband and I a Christmas gift and a canvas of our favorite wedding picture! I will most definitely be using them again in the future when we plan on growing our family! I would recommend these two to anyone and everyone! Thank you Sam and Matt for making our day so unbelievably special and for such genuine kindness! :)

. We were able to meet 3 times before our wedding (including 1 engagement session) and each time they were very professional and I knew I was in good hands. Our pictures, both engagement and wedding, could not be more perfectly suited to us!

at communicating with both of us through the entire process. We were able to do a Skype meeting and look through some portfolios prior to booking them. We setup our engagement shoot as our trial run, which is an absolute must. During those few hours we got to know each other and Small and Matt were truly able to capture our personalities. We loved our engagement shots, but the wedding day pictures were beyond our expectations! The shots are gorgeous and they were able to capture every moment of our day. Sam and Matt were so much fun to work with and very professional. We can't wait for them to do future baby shoots!

some candid moments, as well as gave lots of direction during "posed" shots to make sure not only the entire composition looked good, but each individual person in the shot looked their best as well. Sam set up multiple appointments with me before the wedding and made sure she had all the information needed to make the actual wedding day flow smoothly. In addition, she asked me for enough detail on all aspects of my wedding to get a clear picture of my wedding style (including Pinterest boards I created, etc.). Sam made sure to include all of the pictures on my "must have" list (specific wedding party shots as well as specific family group photos) and I knew I could trust her style from all of her other work I had seen for the rest. In addition to my wedding photos, Sam included my engagement and rehearsal photos. She was open to all the ridiculous shots I envisioned, and in the end the photos I liked the most were the ones where I took the direction from Sam (and the candid photos) :) Throughout my wedding experience Sam was always open to all of my ideas, while also being sure to include shots she knew would look great. I highly recommend Samantha Laffoon Phototgraphy! I love her style, she was quick to get the final images to us, and her price was the best I found amoung photographers in her league.
