Samantha was our favorite vendor from our wedding! We called multiple photographers and they did not have the personal touch, as well as great price, like Samantha. From the start, she was organized, patient, soooo sweet, and professional.
I was hesitant to do engagement pictures because I figured we would already have so many for the wedding and just life in general, but we were really glad we did! It helped us to feel more comfortable with taking pictures, get to know Samantha, and once we received them we were thrilled at the outcome and were even more excited about the wedding.
Samantha and her assistant were spot-on and had full control of what was going on throughout our wedding day, making sure we felt comfortable. She even helped with my dress bustle! We were shocked at how long she stayed during our reception, too. Our pictures came out so incredibly beautiful, and we were thrilled! We will be sure to use Samantha for any future celebrations… and you should, too!
Samantha exceeded all of expectations we could have for a photographer. She was professional, so friendly, and immediately put us at ease. She captured so many priceless moments we will treasure forever. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience and hope to use her again in the future. She even fixed the grooms shoelaces when she noticed they were not right haha!
Sam was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE for our wedding on Sept 21 2024! She was incredibly thorough, took all of our concerns and ideas and turned them into the most perfect wedding photos. So far we've received our highlights from her (SUPER quickly!!) and they are absolutely incredible. Will definitely be keeping her contact info for any future photography needs that she specializes in. Thank you again Sam for making our day so great and capturing our photos so well! :)
Any questions?
Samantha McNulty was such a joy to work with! She is so organized and professional, and she made sure our schedule stayed on track when our stylist and florist were running really late by adjusting our timeline and prioritizing the shots that were most important to us. She went above and beyond her role as a photographer- bustling my dress, making sure my husband and I had food and drinks, cleaning our rings for close up shots, and making our guests feel really welcome. She struck the perfect balance of capturing all the important moments while prioritizing us being fully present with our guests. On such an exciting and overwhelming day, she is the person you'll want in your corner!
Sam is the absolute best!!!! Our pictures came out GORGEOUS and she was the sweetest, most relaxed person to work with. My husband and I both are not big fans of getting our pictures taken and wanted more candid, documentary-style photographs, which Sam went above and beyond to deliver to us!!! Do yourself a favor and hire her for your wedding!!
Choosing Samantha to be our engagement photographer was the best choice. Samantha is easy going and made us feel comfortable and at ease. She also gave simple directions for natural looking candid photos. We're both so happy with Samantha and her photography!
UPDATE: Samantha is absolutely amazing, we hired her a second time for our courthouse wedding! She captured every special moment with such creativity and attention to detail. The photos were beautiful, and we felt so comfortable the entire time. The quality and quick delivery exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. She also goes above and beyond by staying late to finish the shoot and by bringing an umbrella for a misty day and champagne for photos! Much appreciated!
If you need a talented, professional, and friendly photographer, we highly recommend Samantha! Thank you for making our day unforgettable.
Samantha was the such a vital part of the day being as memorable as it was. She was such a bright, positive presence through the entire day. The photos are beautiful and she sent us a thoughtful gift after the wedding. She was prompt, professional and I couldn't reccomend her more!
Samantha was an incredible photographer. She caught our vision perfectly and was so lovely to work with!! From our engagement photos to the day of our wedding, we had an amazing time with her by our sides. We are in love with our photos and our memories, we adore her so much and now we consider her a friend with amazing insight who has also given us great ideas when planning our honeymoon. Thank you so much, Sam! Love, Mary and Ethan =)
Professional, friendly, and talented
We coordinated with Samantha for engagement pictures in Central Park. She made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and got great photos of us.
Samantha made our fall focused wedding vibe come true. She was kind and professional and we loved how the pictures came out. Years later, I smile when I look at our wedding pictures all over our home.
Samantha is amazing! She made us both feel so comfortable capturing our wedding and is truly amazing at capturing all the big and small moments. Her pictures are natural, authentic and beautiful! We’d hire her again in a second!
Samantha did a wonderful job shooting 2 events for us, an intimate wedding and a boat party!
Samantha has been beyond amazing to work with! Upon meeting her for our engagement shoot, we knew we made the right choice. Our engagement shoot went very smoothly. We felt comfortable and at ease. We've had countless friends and family tell us they're the best engagement photos they've ever seen! We are so excited to have Samantha with us for our big day in June. If you're looking for a wedding/engagement photographer, look no further, Samantha is your girl!
Samantha was amazing on our wedding day. She's professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure how day was captured perfectly. I highly recommend Samantha.
We were very happy that we booked Samantha! She had amazing prices and everything was just perfect. I wanted something non-traditional for bridal prep and Samantha caught some of my absolute favorite photos. She is laid back but directed my husband and I quite well when neither of us are particularly fond of being in front of a camera.

Aw, I really appreciate that! It was such a pleasure photographing your big day! It was so much fun getting to do your bridal prep at your boxing studio, so amazing and unique!
We are so glad we picked Samantha as our wedding photographer. She was very organized and had everything planned out for our special day. Our special requests were listened to and she did an amazing job of capturing every moment! All of our photos came out beautiful!

Aw! Thank you, Nicolette! I can't wait to see you guys soon to do your post-wedding shoot. :)
Samantha was an absolute DREAM from the moment we met for our engagement shoot until beyond the wedding. Samantha is extremely talented, responsive, and knowledgeable - making thorough, conscious decisions in terms of angles, lighting, and poses. We all felt so comfortable with her. She was the best bonus bridesmaid and brought the best energy I personally needed on our wedding day. She is professional but keeps the energy high, which is all I could've asked for and more. We are so in love with all of our wedding pictures. Thank you, Sam!

Aw, thank you so much, Emily! It was such a joy meeting you and Ethan and all your friends and family. They were all so sweet, funny, and amazing dancers. Haha
Samantha was absolutely incredible! She worked with us for our wedding and I could not have imagined a better photographer to work with. I can say a million amazing things about her and her work, but the best thing about Samantha was that she made me, my husband and bridal party feel comfortable! What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be one of the highlights of my wedding! We have received so many compliments on her behalf from family, friends and guests! Samantha is highly, highly recommended, and we hope we can work with her again one day! Thank you Sam!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/03/2021
Aw thank you so much Amanda! It was such a pleasure photographing your wedding. All your family and friends were amazing and so kind! I really enjoyed myself as a photographer and person. Thanks for choosing me! I hope we can work together aga...
in in the future.
Samantha was nothing but a dream on our wedding day! She was so personable and made me (a VERY anxious bride) feel cool, calm, and collected. At the hotel she even did a little check list with me to make sure I had everything I needed! I truly felt like she was one of my good friends!
Of course, the pictures were incredible. It started to rain as soon as I got down the aisle and Sam didn’t miss a beat in handing us a clear bubble umbrella. She saved the day! Sam truly captured every.single.moment of the day/night. I had multiple guests comment on how great she was and truly was everywhere.
We are so glad we trusted Samantha with a very important part of our day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. I promise, you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you so much Sarah for your kind words! It was such a pleasure meeting you and your family. Your wedding was a dream and full of so many beautiful moments even with the rain (which as we know, is lucky).
Samantha exceeded all expectations photographing our wedding! She arrived early, was super cheerful and positive, and interacted well with our family and friends. She was able to photograph everything from the schedule we had discussed prior to the event. We really appreciated how detail oriented she was and how accommodating she was to fulfilling all our requests for family and bridal party shots. She had a great attitude throughout the entire event and was super knowledgeable of the special moments we wanted photographed, such as working with our dog and even joining us out on a boat ride at sunset to capture special bride and groom photos in the harbor at our venue. I would 100% work with Samantha again for future events and highly recommend her services to all who are looking to hire her for their wedding!

Thank you so much, Kelly! I had such an amazing time at your wedding and I hope we get to meet again. I really appreciate you taking the time to say such kind words.
Sam is talented, kind, smart, great with people who are a bit camera shy (i.e. my husband) and excellent at wrangling large families for pictures! She has a great eye and really listens to what you want and need as a couple. She’s just amazing. We got married over two years ago and we still look back on our experience with her fondly and our photos are hanging up all over our house. On your big day, you don’t want to take any chances… and with Sam, you won’t be. She’s a sure thing!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/29/2021
Aw, thank you so much, Jess! That's so sweet. Also, happy belated birthday!
As soon as we met Samantha, we knew we wanted to work with her! She’s super sweet, warm and a true pleasure to work with! She captured our special day beautifully! She was also very helpful even after the party was over! We look forward to working with her again with our new born. I highly recommend working with Sam!

Thank you so much, Nataly! It was such a pleasure photographing your wedding and I can't wait to photograph more amazing life events for you. :)
Sam did an amazing job for my wedding day and anniversary session! She is such a talented photographer and an awesome person. She was so cheery and calm even though we had some hiccups on the day. I wouldn't have been able to get through my nervous and anxious moments without her. Her pictures are gorgeous and she beautifully captured our special moments. I'm so glad that we decided to work with her.

Hello Dajoung! Thank you so much for your kind words, it was great getting to see you after your wedding day too and meeting your adorable puppy!
I am so glad we decided to work with Sam for our wedding! Our wedding was postponed due to the pandemic and Sam was more than understanding and accommodating. She made sure to secure our new wedding date, and gave us a great price on coming out to photograph our small wedding celebration we had on our originally planned wedding day. My husband and I are super uncomfortable taking posed photos, but Sam did such a good job of keeping us organized and getting the posed photos done quickly, and captured such beautiful candid pictures of the whole day. I never felt like I was being swept away from the party- she was able to get the photos we wanted without keeping us from enjoying the celebration with our friends and family. She made the day so easy and comfortable for us and was constantly checking to see if we needed anything, and she was so cool to hang out with! I will 100% be using her for any future events and recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for everything, Sam!

Aw, thank you so much, Amanda! It was such a pleasure photographing your amazing Halloween-themed wedding. Every moment was so beautiful and perfect! Can't wait to see you guys again sometime in the near future hopefully. :)
Samantha was an absolute gem to work with! From the second we met her, we felt at ease and knew we were in good hands. Our wedding day had a few hiccups (as is prone to happen), but Samantha calmed our nerves and took everything in stride; she went above and beyond her duties! Our wedding had to be postponed due to COVID-19, but Samantha was there every step of the way! I even had an eye condition flare up the day of, and she was there to help me out and assured we’d still get all the photographs we’d dreamed of! She made us relax and we felt so comfortable that we scheduled her for another post-wedding photo session. She's definitely our all-time favorite photographer and plan on calling for any future photo sessions!! Go with Samantha; you’ll be in the best hands!

Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure photographing your special day and post-wedding session. I appreciate you choosing me to capture all the beautiful moments.
Samantha is an all around amazing person and photographer! She photographed my wedding in April 2021 and all of our pictures are truly stunning! My husband and I are both awkward when it comes to being in the spot light, and she made us feel very comfortable! She made us laugh the whole time! We had a very large bridal party and she was so great with getting us all together and being patient with us all! A truly wonderful experience with Samantha and I hope we get to work with her again!!!

A little about me… I am a fur mom to my cat Molly Bear (I love dogs too). Also, I am originally from Dallas and have lived in NYC for 8 years. My time in NYC has been life-changing, where I have gotten to photograph over 200 weddings and hear so many unique love stories. I feel that my perspective as a fine art photographer helps me capture your wedding in a more artistic way. Also, I like to get to know my couples on a deeper level to capture more of their unique style for their special moments throughout every moment of their engagement and wedding day.
