Samantha was awesome with our wedding! She knew the vision we wanted and gave us exactly what we wanted!! Couldn’t be happier with our pictures they are so cute!

Samantha did an amazing job as our wedding photographer! Our wedding photos and engagement photos turned out absolutely beautiful. She made sure to go over all the specific photos we wanted on our big day and always asked our opinion throughout the process. We are so glad we hired her for our big day!

Samantha and Alex were so wonderful!! They made our day so special, and the pictures turned out so beautiful and perfect. They had us laughing and made us feel so comfortable. Sam did our engagement photos too. I highly recommend using them if you want a fun duo that take amazing photos!!!

We used Alex and Amy to do our pictures and they all came out perfect. Alex was with the girls and made everything such a breeze. Amy was with the guys and she kept them on task and focused, she really helped the day go by smoothly. Both of them photographed our ceremony and reception, offering photo ideas throughout the night. We loved all of the pictures and we got them back very quickly. Love they are digital and I can send the link to any friends or family ❤️

Samantha and her team are amazing!! My photos came out better than I anticipated. I’m not a photogenic person and she somehow made sure I looked good. (This site for whatever reason won’t upload my photos so make sure to go to her website) Also we had high winds and I thought for-sure we were going to be doomed but she managed it so well and captured every perfect moment. I’m absolutely in love with my photos and definitely recommend her for any occasion. 10/10***

Samantha was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. She worked efficiently on our wedding day and captured everything that we wanted. Most importantly, our pictures turned out amazing! We absolutely love them and are so happy we picked Sam to be our photographer.

Samantha and her assistant were both great!! I was a low key bride who didn’t do a ton of research ahead of time and they helped with pose ideas and were great about making sure everyone looked natural and cohesive. We got our photos back after only a few weeks and I could not be happier with them.

Madeline S

Samantha was excellent and so fun to work with! From the start, she had very timely communication. Our photos from both our engagement session and our wedding were BEAUTIFUL! She had all of our photos back to us within 2 weeks of our wedding day. Her and her second shooter Christine were super friendly and did an amazing job!!

We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with for our wedding photos than Samantha and Alex! Samantha was always quick to respond to questions and talked through details of the day that weren't at the top of our minds, and she got us the finished photos so fast! Alex was THE BEST photographer! Guests thought he was a friend of ours who happened to be a photographer because he was so personable, fun, and easy to be around. We had a less typical wedding held at a summer camp with activities going on all across the camp - Alex was everywhere, capturing so many moments we didn't even know were happening! He was so laid back (especially with almost nothing going according to the planned timeline) and rolled with the day, understanding our vision and bringing it to life! Alex truly made our wedding weekend feel even more special! And the photos he captured are beautiful! We will use this team for any future photography needs, can't recommend them enough!

Samantha and her assistant Alex Guy were great! We worked with Alex as our photographer but still communicated with Samantha. She was VERY timely on her responses! Definitely my favorite thing about her service! And Alex was utterly amazing! Me and my husband are uncomfortable being photographed and Alex made us feel at ease and even made us laugh a ton, making the photos feel more real. Absolutely would recommend them, and plan on using them again in the future if we ever need photography needs! Don't hesitate, just go with them!

Samantha was AMAZING and is so sweet and fun! She photographed our engagement pictures and our wedding. We were blown away by our beautiful engagement pictures, that we would expect nothing less from our wedding photos. They were stunning! Alex was her second shooter and he was so fun and kept us laughing and smiling throughout the day. Samantha is very talented and captured the natural emotions and beauty of our wedding day. I am so grateful and will cherish these pictures forever. Samantha is the best!

If I could give more stars I would! Samantha and Alex make a great pair! In the midst of all the chaos, these two just rolled with it perfectly and their patience was much appreciated. I felt like they did a great job capturing the photos I wanted and stayed flexible to last minute ideas/changes. Samantha is easy to work with and has a great way of organizing chaos while remaining calm. Alex was great comedic relief on a stressful day and just what we needed!

Alexis K

We absolutely loved working with Samantha and Alex! They are extremely fun to work with and make you feel so comfortable. They caught so many magical moments of our special day. Samantha shot our engagement pictures as well and got right in the water with us to get the perfect shot. They were so much fun to work with on the day of our wedding and have done this countless times, so they knew exactly where to be and how to direct us on such an eventful day. They joked and laughed with us each step of the way. We truly couldn’t have picked better photographers :)

My husband and I had the privilege to work with Alex who was our wedding photographer. Sam and Alex are the absolute best duo you can find. Alex is so laid back, but will do anything to get you the perfect shot you have always dreamt of. Alex did the best job capturing all of the memories of our special day. Sam coordinated our timeline and logistics, and was so quick to edit our photos. Do yourself a favor, book Samantha Lee Photography!

Sam was amazing from beginning to end. When we first met for our engagement shoot, she made us feel extremely comfortable, even for someone who doesn't like being in front of the camera. Her personality is so friendly and bubbly. We were so impressed with how our engagement pictures turned out and couldn't wait for the wedding day. Sam helped with the day-of timeline and shot lists for family photos. Her second photographer Alex was just as friendly as Sam and they both got us every shot we wanted. They were both extremely flexible and were able to work around unpredictable weather the day of. Sam helped me stay calm when things weren't going as planned due to the weather. We HIGHLY suggest working with Sam for your special day. She is so fun to work with, her photos turn out amazing and she had a quick turn around time for the photos.

1000000/10 I absolutely LOVE working with Samantha! I just got my family pictures/Engagement pictures back today and I can’t pick a favorite because they turned out so good! She’s very understanding and down to earth and funny. I can’t wait to see how my wedding pictures turn out next month ❤️ She was very patient with my 7 month old while we tried getting him to smile! Would highly recommend her! Will be using her for everything from here on out ❤️

Absolutely LOVED working with Samantha. From our very first Zoom call, we knew she had the right personality and energy to perfectly capture our day. She got us comfortable in front of the camera for our engagement photos and that was just a hint of how great our wedding would be! Her and Alex were so much fun on our wedding day. She got the vibe of the group and alsoanaged to persuade two toddlers to stay for more pictures when their patience was fading. I cannot WAIT to see our wedding photos and re-live the day all over again.

Jessica W

7/26/2023

Samantha was amazing to work with! She was so down to earth and funny. She jumped right in the humor with our group and it made for a fun experience. She captured our day beautifully with lots of in the moment photos and her vibe made the whole day fun. Our group had a lot of laughs from the morning of the wedding, until the end of the day. Her second shooter Alex was also great and they were on top of it the whole day. My bridesmaids and I were running late for photos and I was a little panicked and texted Samantha who provided the calm. Samantha was a great communicator and quick to respond to all of my questions. I would highly recommend her! I was looking for a photographer who brought more than just good photos-and she did that. I have looked at our wedding pictures everyday since we received them!

Samantha is such an incredible photographer and I am in love with how our engagement and wedding pictures turned out. On the day of our wedding, both Samantha and Alex were so easy to work with and were well prepared for family formals and bridal party photos!

Amazing work! I am so happy I went with Samantha Lee's Photography! Between Samantha and Christine's hard work, I just love looking at my wedding photos. I, also, had my engagement photos done by Sam, and they came out perfect! I highly recommend anyone to see her for wedding, engagement, etc photography! Thank you Sam and Christine for everything, it was definitely a moment to remember with you guys! xoxo Anita

Samantha and her team did an incredible job at our wedding. She worked quickly and was able to easily adapt to the environment. It was super hot and humid on the day of our wedding and she was able to move a lot of our photos inside and they all looked great. Loved that our photos were given to us on an engraved thumb drive.

Samantha and Pam were wonderful to work with! They were organized, relaxed, and prepared throughout the entire process. She helped us to create the best photo timeline for our day, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and took engagement and wedding photos that are priceless! So many of our guests commented on how great our photography team was- taking photos of the day in a flawless manner. We couldn't be happier and my husband and I would highly recommend working with Samantha!

I love this photography team so much. Honestly, I picked SamanthaLee photography because she was the preferred vendor at my venue (paint creek country club). I am so glad that I did. The engagement pictures we had to reschedule a few times because of rain; eventually we ended up just doing them in the rain because each time we rescheduled it just kept raining. Samantha was a trooper! We got beautiful fall photos in the rain that were perfect for our save the dates. She guided me (I needed it) through making a timeline and posing for the photos. The wedding day I appreciated her and her partner Alex so much. They were fun, efficient, and I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll be happy with the photos we receive from them. From the moment they arrived, they were ready to get going. Samantha took my dress and shoes, rings and stationary and got photos of them while we were finishing up getting ready. I had asked for a photo with each table and she kept us moving to get them all done. She even stayed late (without my asking) to capture a special moment I have been looking forward to my whole life (the Macarena 😂). My sister (who is getting married in 6 months) has even said that she wishes that she didn’t already book a photographer because she would have loved to have Samantha and Alex with her on her day! 10/10 would recommend.

One of the best choices my husband and I made for our wedding was choosing Sam as our photographer! We couldn’t have been happier with the fun engagement experience and beautiful wedding photos. Sam had great suggestions for engagement session location/time frame that helped make the pictures breathtaking. The poses a photographer places you in makes a world of a difference how photos turn out and Sam knew the perfect poses. Sam invited Pam to join us as our second photographer for the wedding and we recommend everyone do this! We have photos from every angle and they are precious memories now. They snapped so many photos and there is not one bad one! I honestly felt confident and beautiful in the photos because of the work of the photographers as well as their fun and kind personalities. Another awesome side note-Sam is the quickest photographer I’ve ever heard of to get photos back to you. Over 1000 wedding photos in just 2 weeks!!

I would definitely recommend booking with Samantha Lee Photography. Communication was great since day one. We had Alex as our photographer and he was so easy to get along with and great at giving direction. Our photos turned out great and we could not be happier!

Samantha was very punctual and organized. She came early and was prepared for all the photos we requested to have on our wedding day. She moved efficiently through our formal photos to ensure we got all the photos we wanted but also had time with our guests. She made taking the photos fun and natural. Our photos are beautiful and just as expected! I would recommend Samantha to any bride/couple looking for a photographer.

Sam was hands down one of the best parts of our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and stress-free the whole day. She knew exactly what needed to be done at every corner and she made sure we were having fun doing it! She asked and listened to what I wanted and made sure it happened or was captured. She always took the extra few seconds to make sure my hair/veil/dress looked perfect. She also helped us put together our timeline, gave me photo tips while I was getting my makeup done, saved the day by bustling my dress before our first dance and she was so patient with a last minute “whole family picture” request. Her skills are unmatched and the creativity she used in our photos was stunning. Sam also brought Alex with her as the second photographer and he was the absolute perfect choice for this group of rowdy men. He was very attentive and detail-oriented which was so comforting to know how much pride he takes in his photos. He jumped right in and tolerated my husband and his crazy antics so well. The guys had so much fun with him and it really shows in the photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo for our wedding day. Thank you both so much!!!

Samantha was an absolute gem to work with! She did a great job making sure me and my husband were comfortable during engagement and our wedding photos. Her and the assistant were easy to talk to and joke around with, which made the whole experience that much better. It felt like I was chatting with a friend the entire wedding day! Added bonus: she turns high quality work around QUICKLY!

Sam took our engagement photos, then photographed our small COVID ceremony, then our large reception. She was so wonderful for all three. She's been with us through all the craziness and we're going to miss her! She was professional, organized, and made everyone feel comfortable. She and Alex made a great team at our big reception. They were so much fun to be around and we LOVE our photos.

Samantha Beach and Alex Guy were such a blast to work with! They both were very professional, friendly, and timely. Samantha made sure to go over all the "must get" shots and we worked out a precise timeline for the day of. On the big day they were so helpful keeping the mood light, making everyone laugh, and made sure we kept on time. They did whatever it took to get the perfect shot, even on a 90 degree day with no clouds in sight! Ever since she sent me a sneak peek of our big day, I have been dying to see the rest of her amazing work! I truly recommend Samantha Lee Photography to capture your special moments!

Booking Sam was one of the best decisions we made in all of our wedding planning! My husband and I do not take pictures of ourselves often, but she made the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed, so we were in the moment with each other. Our engagement shoot was the perfect 'get to know you' practice round of (gorgeous) pictures, so we were prepped by the time the wedding day came around. Alex was the second photographer, and he got some wonderful candid photos throughout the day in addition to what Sam caught. They had a great balance between letting us enjoy the time and keeping the group moving to stay on schedule. I would recommend booking Sam in a heartbeat!

Emily B

11/16/2020

Amazing! I don’t even know where to begin. Sam was able to take all my crazy ideas and turn my engagement session into keepsakes I’ll treasure forever. I look at my wedding photos everyday, they are absolutely gorgeous. Their quality is top-notch, I was able to blow a photo up into a huge canvas and the photo is clear as can be. She is fun and easy to work with, my husband and I were so comfortable with her. She has a vision and is able to Match your vision to create something super special. Her prices were reasonable, and if you don’t choose her as your photographer I think you will really be missing out. She will be the only photographer my family uses from now on! Can’t thank you enough Sam!

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! Sam is so nice and easy to work with, everything we asked for she delivered! She worked with us so much with the time line and making sure we got all the photos we wanted and kept us on time! The photos are gorgeous and we can’t wait to show them off to everyone!Thank you so much we’re so happy we picked Samantha lee photography for our wedding.

Sam was a wonderful photographer who captured our small wedding this year and our engagement photos last year. She was great to work with throughout the planning process as she is very responsive and organized. Additionally, Sam is very personable and made us feel at ease during your sessions which is essential for a wedding photographer! Also, all of our photos were delivered to us digitally which was super convenient. We would highly recommend Sam as a wedding photographer!

Sam did both our engagement photos last summer and our wedding photos this past February. I cannot say enough good things about her. We chose her as our photographer after a recommendation and seeing her in action when I was in someone else's wedding. I know my husband at least was nervous about getting photos taken of himself (the engagement photos were a nice practice run), but I was blown away at how comfortable and at ease she made us feel! As a complete stranger really, she made us so relaxed and happy and comfortable and you can tell in our photos that the moments are real and not posed. She brings lots of experience and knowledge about places, poses, what feel and style we wanted, and recommendations when we were looking for our other vendors to work with. We were so happy with how both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. She is so easy to work with (even with me and my million questions I asked her). She is kind, patient, and brings a great happy energy with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer!

We absolutely loved Sam! She is so down-to-earth, and very easy to get along with. She did such an amazing job with our engagement photos, and we're super excited to see our wedding photos as well - I'm confident they'll be gorgeous. A few pros about Sam, she is a great communicator and organizer as we requested some large family photos at the wedding (over 40 people in one shot) and she coordinated this flawlessly (despite about 15 little kids running around and the father of the bride being missing at the time). Additionally, she made my husband and his groomsmen feel so comfortable having their photo taken which was a big plus because they're camera shy. I also appreciated that she kept me "in check" - as in I'm the type of bride who could've spent three hours at different locations having my photo taken, but Sam not only let me feel like we got plenty of great shots, she also reigned me in (in the nicest way) in order to keep us on schedule and not let me go overboard. Thank you Sam!! I highly recommend her services.

Samantha and Alex were amazing! The day of the wedding Samantha kept the day organized and on schedule. The photos were beautiful and stunning! I was blown away. I am so grateful they were there to capture our perfect day! 110% recommend booking Samantha!!

Sam is wonderful!!! We got married on 7/5/19 at Indian Springs Metropark. There are a lot of decisions and research when it comes to wedding planning, and picking Sam was a great decision!! She’s very personable and funny. She is great at contacting - before engagement photos, pre wedding, post wedding- excellent communication. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are great. The color quality and happiness of the photos shine. She made our day special and perfect. Sam was prepared - she knew the venue and we had Alex with her. I laughed so much since they made it a fun time- which is exactly what I wanted for my wedding. They took away stress by knowing what to do and keeping us on track. We probably would have forgotten to sign the marriage license if we didn’t have them to remind us. Sam is experienced and professional. The photos came back quick and were easy to access digitally. The wedding picture flash drive we got in the mail was adorable and makes it easy to save, print, and share photos with our family members. So many great moments. Thanks soooo soooo much Sam! We look forward to scheduling another photo shoot!!!

Sam and her assistant were awesome. Through out the whole process she was very attentive and a great listener and made sure that everything was the way we wanted it. The day of the wedding she made us feel very comfortable and made sure to get the emotions and memories caught at the perfect times. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a up coming wedding, engagement, baby photos.. etc. After receiving our photos I completely fell in love with them and she caught so many different memories that we will be able to cherish. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. Amazing !!!!!

We cannot praise Samantha enough for how amazing she was at photographing our 9/7/19 wedding in Lexington, MI! We knew as soon as we spoke with Samantha on the phone that we wanted her to be our wedding photographer and she did not disappoint. Samantha takes beautiful pictures, has a great personality, and was always helpful with answering questions/giving advice throughout the wedding planning process. On the night before the wedding, we threw a very last minute curve ball at Samantha by requesting to change our day of schedule so that we could do a first look. Samantha was very accomodating to our last minute request and quickly came up with a new game plan for the day of the wedding. We were also very pleased that Samantha brought a second photographer on the day of our wedding - not only was Ilze fun to work with, but she was helpful and we loved her personality. After the wedding, a few of our guests even told us how much they enjoyed our photographers. They made a great team! We cannot thank Samantha and Ilze enough for taking some awesome photos and making sure our wedding day ran smoothly! :)

Samantha and Jen could not have been more perfect for our wedding! We always received a quick reply if we had any questions in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and they made the day-of run so smoothly. It was a pleasure working with them, and our pictures turned out beautifully. It's hard to pick a favorite!

Sam was fantastic from the moment we first spoke to her - answering all of our questions and removing any stress we might have had - through the speedy delivery of amazing photos we will cherish forever. She brought Alex as an assistant and both were extremely helpful, organized, and fun the day of. We had a tight timeline and they had no problems guiding us/keeping us on track and capturing every shot that was important to us. We could not have been happier with how beautiful our photos turned out, and how easy it was to work with Samantha Lee Photography!

Samantha was incredibly professional and perfectly personable. She made you feel like a friend so we were very comfortable. My husband hates pictures and he didnt feel the slightest bit uncomfortable in either out engagement photos or our wedding photos. Samantha was also wonderful with all my nieces and nephews. Her second shooter was great as well. They both went above and beyond for us. They packed there stuff up at the end of the wedding because it was time to leave. And samantha pulled her camera back out to take some very important pictures of my dad and I. I didnt even know she did it until afterward. She is an awesome photographer and I cant wait to work with her again at our pregnancy photo shoot in a couples months! I would recommend her to anyone!

Breann S

9/09/2019

I LOVE SAM!! She did such an amazing job with out engagement and wedding photos. She is always communicative in the days leading up to both the engagement shoots and out wedding day. She made sure that we got every shot we wanted. Sam traveled to our hotel and to the venue on the day of the wedding and made the photos fun, even after everyone was tired and hot.. Both her and her partner we a lot of fun to be around and made myself and my husband very comfortable. She even wrapped everything up in perfect form by engraving out name on our flash drive. It seems small but it was such an amazing touch. I will be working with Sam again in the future and definitely recommend her.

Sam is a fantastic person and photographer! After our engagement photos, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She captured our wedding day beautifully, and wasn't afraid to corral the family where they needed to be for pictures. We were so happy with how everything turned out and you'd be crazy not to want her as your photographer! She's down to earth, realistic, creative, and knows exactly what to do when you have no idea what's going on. Without her, who knows what our day would've looked like. Thank you Sam!

After searching many photographers, I had a good feeling about Samantha. Her prices were fair and her photos looked pretty and natural. Personality/chemistry is so important and she is positive and relaxed with a great eye for detail. My wedding day brought many weather challenges with two outdoor venues during a very wet and steamy July. Not only did she put my mind at ease throughout the entire day, she somehow managed to produce more beautiful photos than I could have imagined. She works quickly and is really on top of things, which impressed my new husband. So glad we chose her - you will be in great hands and your photos will be awesome!

Heidi S

She is very professional and has a sweet, easy-going personality. She is truly amazing at what she does! Edit Post-Wedding: Samantha did an amazing job with our wedding photos!

Samantha Lee did an amazing job, she fit right in with the craziness that was my wedding party. She was very patient with my two flower girls that are both under the age of 5. She was also very flexible with the multiple locations and the specific photos that I was wanting on the day of. We would highly recommend her to future couples! We will definitely be using Samantha Lee for future photo shoots!

Sam is AMAZING! Our engagements were absolutely perfect and she gave us a sneak peak of a few of our wedding photos within 24 hours of requesting to put on our thank you cards. She was super flexible when I couldn't decide if I wanted a first look or not. She went through all timelines with me and did extra phone consultations going through everything. Sam is so much fun! On our wedding day our bridal party fell in love with her with how much energy she brought to the day while also being extremely professional and great at her job. She knew the timeline and kept us all on track. Throughout the night she'd let us know if we needed to be in a certain spot or where lighting was best to capture the best photos. She even took the time to pull my husband and I aside to make sure we got every photo we wanted. She was awesome to work with and I would recommend her to anyone who wants amazing photos and someone around on the big day that will ease the stress of the day. Will use her again for photos in the future!

Loved working with Samantha. She made us feel very comfortable and was very accomadating, making sure she got each and every picture that we wanted and so many more. The lighting and final pictures were beautiful. Good with rounding up the family and sticking to a timeline. Our barn wedding is so fun to look back on because of these pictures that we have. She is timely and we received our pictures just a few short weeks later. The only minor thing is that you may need to remind your bridesmaids to fix your dress train, bustle, and shaper etc..to prevent from showing in the pics. Overall very pleased.

Samantha did such an amazing job with our wedding and engagement pictures! She is very very personable and knows exactly how to direct you for the perfect photo! Her partner, Alex, was also pretty amazing! Would definitely recommend Samantha and Alex for wedddings, engagements and more! Our photos turned out beautiful and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Sam is the best! She is organized, efficient, and great to work with. I had multiple guests come up to me and share how impressed they were with our photographer. We highly recommend!!
