I have had the great pleasure of getting to work alongside Samantha & Lindsey and I have to say, brides and grooms could not be in better hands! They are an absolute joy to work with and as a coordinator, I could not recommend better photographers for my clients. Their work is absolute perfection and they are two of the kindest people I know! They care so deeply about capturing the special day for their clients and that truly shows through their work. I could not recommend them more!
We cannot recommend Samantha enough. She was so easy to communicate with, helped us find vendors, plan our day of timeline and was an absolute joy to have with us on our big day. Samantha and her team work so well together and made taking about 59000 family portraits an easy task. We would hire Samantha again and again and cannot thank her enough for capturing all of our special moments!
I had Samantha's associate Lindsey as our photographer and she was the BEST!! From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, we had an amazing experience. Lindsey captured the most beautiful pictures for our wedding day. She was very professional, easy to talk to and I can't recommend her enough. We got our photos back so quickly and loved them all!
I wish I could give Samantha a million stars!! She is simply INCREDIBLE! We immediately booked Samantha after getting engaged and were so happy we did! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Samantha made our experience a total dream. Not only is she insanely talented --her photography speaks for itself, but she is the sweetest person ever!!! Our family and friends raved about her and her second shooter, Lindsey the entire wedding day & after! I feel so fortunate to have found Samantha for our special day and am already looking for reasons to have another photoshoot just so I can work with her again!!
We used Lindsey Klinger for our wedding photographer and we had such a fantastic experience! She has such a friendly and enthusiastic personality. Lindsey made my husband and I feel comfortable and relaxed with both our engagement pictures and our wedding portraits, which really showed in the photos. She captured every special moment with such artistry and care. I love how crisp and clean her photos are. They are just stunning!
We got our photos back quickly, and they were even better than we could have imagined. Each one is a beautiful reminder of our day, and we’re so grateful for that! Lindsey got such a perfect variety of us, our family/friends, and our venue, which is exactly what we asked for.
I highly recommend Lindsey! She was such a pleasure to work with and we are so pleased with how everything turned out!!
Lindsey did amazing with our day. Both her and Samantha were amazing throughout the process and always responded promptly. They made the posted photos move quickly and made sure to capture all the special moments. I received our sneak peek quickly (which was so special) and can’t wait to see the rest!!
I used Samantha Rice Photography's associate photographer, Lindsey and her second shooter, and let me just say they were fantastic! From initial inquiry and phone call I knew it was going to be a good fit, right off the bat she was helping figure out when the ceremony should be based on where the sun would be before I had even hired her. Her and Samantha were very quick to respond, and if they were out of office they one of them would let me know when they would respond next. They were very flexible and worked with us to get on their books for engagement photos as we were an out of town couple and had a short window of time to make it happen. Those pictures turned out lovely and again she was a joy to work with. The day of was incredible, Lindsey and her second shooter were fantastic and were a great team! They helped make sure detail pieces were in place, helped find people, put up with my very large family photos and calling out names, were so organized and were just a joy to be around! We even received about 30 sneak peaks within 24 hours of our wedding! I'm sure I'm missing things, but I highly recommend hiring Samantha Rice Photography for your wedding needs.
**Editing to add: We received our gallery back within 5 weeks of our wedding date (which disclaimer, we were told we were one of the first of the season so we would have quicker turn around times) just know SRP is very timely and professional and communicated with me the entire time about when to expect my gallery and delivered before she said.
There is seriously so many amazing things I could say about Samantha Rice Photography. I absolutely loved working with her and her associate, Lindsey, throughout my wedding process. There has been so many big moments in my life that Samantha has captured and I am so thankful for her. Her work is absolutely stunning and I am blown away by all of the pictures we received from her. She is such a fun, bubbly, encouraging person to be around and I cannot recommend her enough!!! <3
I wish I could give this review 100 stars because Samantha Rice Photography exceeded expectations! Samantha Rice and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our amazing day, every single photo is beyond perfection. She is the BEST wedding photographer hands down!! She makes you look back and just be absolutely stunned how beautiful everything turned out because she is just that good. I can't express enough how grateful I am for her and her team because I will cherish these photos forever <3
Samantha Rice photography does a fantastic job! We worked with Lindsey the associate and she was so great. All of our pictures were beautiful. I highly recommend working with Samantha Rice and her team. She got our pictures back from the wedding so quickly. They helped capture our wedding day so perfectly.
Oh my goodness! Samantha Rice photography and her team are AMAZING! Samantha laid everything out so easy for us with a schedule from the very beginning. Stay in constant communication for over a year and very organized. I was so nervous to get photos of myself but oh my goodness they are amazing! Samantha made us feel so comfortable with her fun-loving, sweet and outgoing personality. Samantha with her organization kept us in line and on time, which of course is huge in a wedding! I also had two extra photographers that are on Samantha’s team and there are photos of the same scenario but in different angles and I love that! I didn’t even notice them taking the photos either so there are some very precious pictures that I will cherish forever with loved ones, parents and grandparents. The photos are absolutely incredible and everything turned out flawlessly. Thank you Samantha and her team! I HIGHLY recommend Samantha and her team, can’t say it enough, you won’t regret it!
Samantha and her team are amazing! She is so friendly and fun to work with. Being photographed can be a little awkward, but Samantha made my husband and I feel so comfortable. Our bridal party and family had only great things to say. Our photos turned out amazing and look like they belong in a magazine.
The turnaround time for the photos was fast. Super professional and responds back in a timely manner. This was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. I highly recommend booking Samantha and her team!
My husband's and I experience with Samantha Rice photography was amazing! We booked her second shooter, Lindsey directly and she was so kind, professional, had amazing photos ideas, and really helped lead out the wedding day! She made us feel so loved and comfortable in front of the camera (and this is from someone who HATES their photos taken). She made it fun and captured our personalities and love in every photo.
My husband’s and I experience with Samantha Rice Photography was lovely! We had a unique situation in that Samantha wasn’t the one to photograph our engagement session and wedding, her associate Lindsey was the one to photograph and Samantha edited our photos (due to maternity leave). It was a leap of faith to trust Samantha when she offered this situation to us since I really enjoy her editing style. Lindsey herself was an amazing photographer to work with and we are thankful for the way it all worked out! Samantha was the one who organized our day and timeline and communicated all details leading up to the wedding, Lindsey photographed the wedding and Samantha edited. Having this experience felt extra special that we had two photographers advocating for us and our day. Lindsey’s presence was much needed on our wedding day, she is so calm and even keeled that it really helped my husband and I stay relaxed and comfortable as possible on such an emotionally intense day. In addition, our second shooter (Brittany), was amazing too! She was a photographer and bridesmaid rolled into one, assisting through our day with not only capturing photos but mini errands and tasks as well. We only have our sneak peeks that we are already over the moon about, and can’t wait for our entire album! We are so grateful for our entire experience with SRP! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Samantha was absolutely amazing!! We had her do our engagement photos and wedding and I cannot recommend her enough. She made us feel comfortable being in front of the camera and made our sessions fun. She is creative and was able to capture so many amazing pictures for us on the biggest day of our lives. We are absolutely obsessed with our photos and we’re so grateful to work with someone as talented as Samantha!!
I cannot recommend Samantha enough. From our engagement photos to our big day, Samantha was an absolute dream to work with. She's incredibly organized, detail-oriented, punctual, and so, so kind. She really goes out of her way to make sure her couples feel at ease and does an incredible job of documenting each wedding she shoots. My family, friends, and I were blown away by the photos she took, and my sister even said she'd want to hire Samantha for her own future wedding in the next few years!
Amazing!! Her photos are to die for! She truly made us feel so comfortable and at ease on our wedding day. She is such a pleasure to work with, and we would use her over and over again!
Everything about working with Samantha is outstanding!! She is the sweetest soul and makes you feel confident that everything is taken care of and under control. My husband hates getting photos taken but with Samantha we had SO much fun during pictures! She was so quick to tell us exactly where to go and how to pose. She makes you feel very comfortable so the photos come out natural looking. Our photos came out incredible!!! I cannot stop posting them :) not to mention we got our sneak peak photos within days and our entire gallery faster than we could have imagined!! I have highly highly recommended her to all my family and friends for their photography needs. She is the absolute best!!
I could not say enough great things about Samantha Rice !!! From the moment I booked her, through our two year engagement, planning a wedding during a pandemic, and all the way to our wedding, she was nothing short of amazing. She was beyond helpful throughout the whole process and helped answer my many many questions :) She absolutely killed it on the wedding day, and our family members and friends all kept complimenting how amazing our photographer was!! Not only is she extremely talented, she is also so friendly and fun to have there with you on your special day! This is all aside from the STUNNING photos she delivered in record time!!! I cannot stop staring at our pictures, and I cannot recommend Samantha enough!!
Samantha made our wedding day perfect. When you work with Samantha you know that you will have a photographer who is punctual, professional, organized and has great quality pictures. She went out of her way to capture my special request pictures and had the photos back super fast. I have received numerous compliments on my wedding photos... in fact that is the thing people point out that they are the most impressed with! I will be recommending Samantha to my friends and family and will always use her for all my future photoshoot needs. Thank you Samantha!
Samantha is absolutely amazing and beyond talented. Her energy throughout the day was phenomenal. My husband and I aren’t the kind who love being in front of the camera and especially not ones to kiss in front of a bunch of people. Samantha made us feel so so comfortable during those intimate shots, and they turned out amazing! She is also amazing with bridal parties (we had 20 of us), she is highly efficient with group photos as well. We received all of our pictures today, and I can not pick a favorite. They are all wonderful! I highly recommend Samantha for your wedding, I promise you won’t regret it! She’s the best, I can’t say enough good things! :)
Samantha is amazing in so many ways! She is extremely creative and energetic. You can tell she has a passion for what she does right when she walks in the room. Samantha did both our engagement and wedding photos and we are raving over them. I am so happy we chose Samantha to be our photographer on our big day and we will continue to recommend her to others!
Samantha Rice Photography is top notch!
If you are looking for an absolutely amazing photographer you will not be disappointed with Samantha’s work.
Samantha was absolutely brilliant from the very first time we met her. Her love for her work was obvious and her photos showed that same. Professional, efficient, passionate and friendly.
Thank You Samantha for capturing Morgan & Dan’s wedding despite the thunder and rain! It was such a perfect day, and you have taken the most amazing pictures!!
If you’re looking for the most amazing, patient, down to earth, fun photographer the hunt stops now!!
Samantha has been nothing but fantastic through our whole wedding planning journey from engagement photos to help with save the dates and then to our wedding! She is open to any ideas you may have when it comes to your photos, especially dogs! We cannot recommend her enough, she’s the best in the business!
Samantha is second to none! Some people were definitely born for the professions they end up taking in life and she is a prime example of that fact. My fiancé and I were in the frustrating predicament of bad weather the week of our appointment and were worried the day we had scheduled wouldn’t work out with the onset of rain. Samantha dropped everything a few days before our scheduled shoot to meet with us early during a small window of sunshine and our pictures turned out amazing because of her dedication and efforts!! We can’t thank her enough for the work she did and look forward to using her in our future big life moments. Thank you Samantha!!
As a guy, I hate getting photos taken... but our engagement session was the easiest, painless, and comfortable photo session I’ve ever had. Samantha tells you exactly what to do, and gets you into natural poses extremely fast which I, and other guys, really appreciate. She makes getting your photos taken effortless, and our photos turned out absolutely incredible. We would never use anyone else!
Samantha is an amazing photographer to work with!! She did my engagement shoot. She was so fun and made the whole experience for my fiancé and I so enjoyable. Highly recommend 😊
Book Samantha NOW!
My husband and I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Samantha several times in this past year! She did a fun, mini winter shoot for us December 2017, our engagement photos, and our wedding in December 2018! I knew immediately after our mini shoot that I had to have her for our wedding, and I am so glad we did! Samantha made us feel at ease in front of the camera with her lively & easygoing personality. She directed us every step of the way, ensuring we'd get beautiful shots with every session from start to finish. Samantha is incredibly flexible, and definitely has her clients best interest at heart! Her knowledge of the photography (especially wedding photography) was evident each time we spoke- and it kept me at ease throughout our entire wedding planning and the on the big day. We are over the moon with how our wedding photos turned out, she did a fantastic job! Every moment of our day was captured perfectly, just like we had discussed. It even rained during our bride/groom portraits, and that did not stop her from going above and beyond to get the best shots! I cannot wait to work with her again! Thank you, Samantha!
I said it before, and I'll say it again- book her now!!
I will never use anyone else again! I found Samantha after seeing the engagement pictures she had done of a couple I had gone to school with. After stalking her Instagram I knew right away that I wanted to use her for my engagement shoot. On the original date of our shoot we had terrible rainy and windy weather. Being as accommodating and as easy to work with as she is, she made the process easy to switch dates so that we could get the best pictures possible. If you know me, I am no natural in front of the camera and I was so nervous before our shoot. But, Samantha fixed all of that. Her warm personality makes you feel comfortable and she knows exactly how to direct you so that you get unique and beautiful pictures. When I saw all of my engagement pictures I fell in love, there was not one photo that I did not like. Her creative mind and attention to detail was just what I wanted for my wedding; however, at this point she had not shot any weddings yet. Although it felt a little risky to book her without any wedding experience, I felt fully confident that she would do just as great if not better than our engagement shoot, and I was right! It rained my whole entire wedding day, but Samantha made sure to go above and beyond so that I did not even end up thinking about the rain outside. Looking back at all of the amazing pictures, you would have never known that it was 30 degrees and rainy outside. She captured the day perfectly, and I would never change a thing! Seriously go stalk her Instagram right now, you will be convinced instantly how amazing this girl is!
I found Samantha through a friend, and almost immediately booked her to photograph our wedding. I was very impressed with how organized she was considering she also works full time! At our engagement session she did a great job guiding my husband and I through how to pose, we wouldn’t have known what to do without her! The “golden hour” of best outdoor lighting went so fast but she got straight to business and was able to capture many great shots in different scenery. I could tell she knew what she was doing. Leading up to the wedding she sent us a link to a form that we filled out, in order to give her an accurate idea of what our wedding day timeline was and of what moments/people we wanted to capture the most. This was super nice because it forced me to get my act together with planning and finalize my timeline. I liked that it was an online form because I was able to complete the parts I knew for certain and then come back later to add or change what I needed to. On the day of the wedding Samantha did an amazing job of guiding the bridal party and the families through the group shots, she had a great set of activities/poses planned for us and I didn’t have to think about anything, I simply followed her lead. When we got the final pictures we were so thrilled with the results! My husband and I noticed right away how much attention she paid to capturing the moments I requested to be focused on. I asked her to make sure she got some photos of my 2 year old son, and she got some amazing ones! She was also great with communicating to my mistress or ceremonies and the DJ to ensure she was in the right place at the right time to capture everything. She also was super cool about letting me tack on an extra 30 min to the tail end of my package the day before the wedding! I have received so many compliments on my photos and am so pleased with the results. Samantha is a wonderful person and photographer, with reasonable prices, and great to work with. I 100% recommend her! Thanks again Samantha!! ❤️
do yourself a favor and book Sam ASAP. One of the best decisions we could have made during the entire wedding planning process. Not only did our pictures turn out beautifully - but she was incredibly easy to work with from beginning to end. Sam captured exactly what we hoped for and more - we have a great mix of formals and candids. highly recommend Samantha Rice Photography
BOOK HER NOW. I took a chance hiring Samantha for my wedding since she was newer to the field and I literally found her on Google. But I am SO glad I hired her! I knew from the first time we met that she would to a thorough job. She is professional yet feels like a good friend. She has a fresh perspective and helps you into the most natural, beautiful poses. At our wedding, she somehow managed to do it all: hiding in the background snapping candids of authentic moments, but then able to command my entire family for photos. One of my bridesmaids said later, "That was the most pleasant experience I've had with a photographer, as a bridesmaid!!" She didn't make us spend the whole day taking photos. We were actually able to enjoy all the special moments while she was right beside us to capture them. And her final photos are AMAZING. She values quality photography and excellence. Thank you, Samantha!
Samantha did our engagement and wedding photos and to say I’m obsessed with her work is an understatement. She is a joy to work with, pays attention to detail, is professional, makes everyone feel at ease, and ensures you get the photos you want. Absolutely amazing; thanks Samantha!!
Sam is AMAZING! Not only does she make you feel really comfortable and pretty when she is taking your photos, but she does an outstanding job! There is not a single photo I don't love from our wedding day. She knew exactly what she was doing and had so much fun doing it. You can't go wrong if you choose Samantha Rice Photography!! I would highly recommend booking with her!!
I have had multiple sessions with Samantha and she is AMAZING!! She is so sweet and makes you feel at ease and comfortable, even if you are not used to being infront of the camera. She has such a creative eye and works with you to create images that you absolutely love and memories to cherish forever. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and she also gets your images back to you as soon as she can! (that is huge when it comes to photographers) Would definitely recommend her!!
