Every loving glance, every small touch, all the goofy antics - she got it all! I am absolutely blown away! Hiring Sam was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding! Sam is...
so down-to-earth and easy to work with. We got our sneak peek back quicker than I expected, and I can't wait to see the rest! Sam is extremely professional with tons of wedding experience. She even made sure the guys put their cuff links on correctly. Sam is definitely someone to hire if you want your day to be smooth and stress-free! She showed up at 10 and stayed until all of our guests were gone. I'm going to obsess over these photos forever! She has such a talent for capturing the amount of love in the room. I wish I could share every single photo she took; they're all amazing. I truly feel like I can relive our day through our photos! We are already thinking of reasons we can hire her again!

eeping everything on track. Sam is flexible and she was able to switch plans up at the last minute when it rained outside on our wedding day. She took us to a different location that was covered and I think the pictures turned out even more amazing than maybe they would have been with our original plan! Not to mention, she is incredibly talented. My husband and I can’t stop staring at our wedding pictures. ❤️ We are so thankful that she was our wedding photographer and was with us on our special day!

Samantha’s Studio photography was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, Samantha went above and beyond—not only capturing the most stun...
ning, heartfelt photos, but also helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes. Her calm, organized presence made such a difference, and we felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands. The preview photos we’ve received so far are absolutely breathtaking. She has such a natural talent for capturing genuine moments, emotions, and all the little details that made our day so special. Every image feels meaningful and beautifully composed, and we already know these are memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. On top of her incredible skill, Samantha is so easy and enjoyable to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and kept things fun and relaxed throughout the entire day. We truly cannot recommend Samantha’s Studio enough. Even though we’ve only seen our preview gallery, we are already beyond impressed and cannot wait to see the rest of our photos!

Sam was the best photographer we could have ever asked for!
We booked her for both an engagement shoot and our Wedding day. Not only did we absolutely love our photos, but we also...
loved her constant professionalism in executing the crazy day that it was. She kept us both relaxed and on time within the busy schedule and ensured she captured the right moments based on our personality. With the many individuals we had in our wedding party, she flawlessly was able to "rally the troops" and keep everything efficient in getting the bigger group shots. She was also amazing with getting smiles from the kids involved (4 month old niece, 2 year old nephew, and 4 year old niece).
10/10 would recommend for anyone's future wedding or special event.

We are so happy we picked Samantha for our wedding! We could not have asked for a more talented, attentive, kind, and respectful photographer. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful...
and a wonderful reminder of the best day ever. On top of being a talented photographer, Samantha handled our interfaith wedding (two ceremonies on two separate days) with the utmost respect and captured both perfectly. Finally, she was incredibly prompt with our sneak peek and final photos, which we actually received early. We could not be happier with her service and highly recommend her!

our special day, she was incredibly attentive and made sure to capture the little moments we were looking to hold onto forever. She delivered many beautiful photos to us for our sneak peak a week after the wedding for us to enjoy before receiving the full album 2 months later. Overall, Samantha went above and beyond to make sure we could celebrate the best day of our lives without the need to worry! Book Samantha Studios if you want the best quality and service!

ing is a steal for the amount of time her team will be with you (basically all day) and the quality of her photos you’ll get back (I received SO many complements on her work). I looked at more than 10 photographers but just happened to stumble upon Sam’s Instagram through my search. I did a deep dive on her website (highly recommend checking it out to see full galleries!) and sent her a message instantly. She was quick to respond and understood I was looking to enjoy my day and not spend too much time posing for pictures. Even with this request, she was able to quickly capture all our desired portraits and “wish list” photos while also catching us in candid photos we will treasure forever. Booking Samantha’s Studio Photography was hands-down the best vendor choice I made. We plan to continue using her for other special moments in the years to come! THANK YOU, Sam. :)

m as a bride, I really wasn’t sure how much better she could be, but I felt SO connected and on the same page with her the whole day in a way I never expected. She gives such intentional support and disappears into the wings for the events and viola! You get an unreal amount of sneak previews and the most touching, intimate photos in your final photos. I LOVE having digital photo files of all pictures. Her team did a wonderful job of getting multiple angles and shots of different moments so you can really pick the favorite snapshot.

Even with just the sneak peeks so far, we’re blown away. They’re all stunning, and there are so many of them! We truly got to relive our wedding day through her photos.
On top of her amazing photography skills, Samantha was such a calming and supportive presence on the day of. She knows exactly how a wedding day should flow and stepped in to guide things seamlessly, taking so much stress off of me.

If I could give six stars I would. Sam and her bonus photographer were excellent choices for our wedding day. What originally drew me to her photos was the fact that they are so ca...
ndid and natural. They managed to get every single moment and emotion, and when we looked through our album it truly felt like we were reliving the day. Another thing that was a huge plus is the fact that she was there with me the entire day; not only capturing every moment start to finish, but also keeping track of the timeline along the way. She is obviously so experienced with weddings, and it gave me a sense of calm that I definitely needed on the big day.
Our photos were out of this world! If you are searching for a photographer, Samantha is the way to go!

We had a few key photos in mind to capture for the wedding but Sam was able to create visions with the lighting, background, etc that made our photos next level. Not to mention her second shooter Ernst was fantastic! He was kind and professional and we enjoyed working with him as well. We look forward to working with Sam in the future!

Her services were at a great price considering everything that she provides, and she was personable but extremely professional throughout the entire experience. If you could give a ninja cameras that is Sam. She was everywhere and if you blinked she had moved somewhere completely else. I honestly cannot imagine having anyone else capture our wedding. She was as much of the wedding day and experience as the bridal party it felt like. I would highly recommend hiring Sam for your wedding or any other special occasion, she will not disappoint.

When I was searching for a wedding photographer, my top priority was finding someone who could capture authentic, candid moments. When I came across Sam’s portfolio and saw her bio...
, which read, “No need to pose… just be. I help you feel comfortable in front of the lens so your personality shines through. A wedding day is full of little moments. My passion is to capture those moments for you to cherish forever,” I was immediately drawn in.
During our meet and greet, I knew right away she was the one. She was down-to-earth, energetic, and her portfolio spoke volumes about her talent. On our wedding day, it felt like we’d known her for years—she made everything feel so easy and natural. Even my husband, who typically tenses up for photos (think Chandler Bing!), relaxed and shared his genuine smile. Sam captured all his, and everyone’s, best, most natural expressions.
Our album is filled with so much love and emotion, bringing us back to each special moment every time we look through it. Sam is incredibly organized, responsive, and stayed right on track with the timeline she promised. We wholeheartedly recommend her—10/10—and look forward to working with her again!

cing everyone in each photo so the result looked flawless. She had incredible people management skills - she was kind and assertive which kept the day rolling. After dinner, she stayed to take photos of our venue and small details. She also takes photos of guests dancing, mingling, laughing, and having a great time. This felt unique as most photographers charge extra to stay for these special moments. I love that Sam built this into the price! She had zero hidden or additional fees. Everything was included in one price with all information on her website before having to reach out. Her transparency was the first thing I loved about her!
As for our photos - they are lovely. She captured SO MANY amazing moments and was timely with the delivery of the sneak peek and full album.
Overall, she truly is an experienced professional. Our bridal party kept mentioning how excellent she was at keeping everyone on a timeline and knowing where to place people while also being fun and kind.
Thanks for making our day so special, Sam. We loved having you part of our special day. - Gracie & Wyatt

Several guests came to me to say how amazing she was, but there was a different statement from a guest that stood out to me the most. The guest asked me how long Sam and I knew each other, and I told her that this was the first time Sam and I were working together. The guest then said “it seems like you guys have been friends and known each other forever.” She is the best.

She managed to get nothing but smiles on 9 of my nieces' and nephews' faces in every shot they were in, and really captured the emotion of the day flawlessly. We added on the snap-stand, which our guests LOVED, so it was great to have that option at a reasonable rate. We can't wait to create our albums with her and book her for family sessions in the future - if you're contemplating booking, just do it! It was worth every penny and more.

Samantha was absolutely the most incredible pick for our wedding and booking her for your wedding is a MUST! From the beginning planning process, she was extremely available and ea...
sy to communicate with. In our pre-wedding discussions, she made sure to ask us what our vision was and what we wanted our experience to be like, and she delivered beyond belief.
The day of the wedding came and we truly could not have asked for a better Photographer. She was wonderful to work with and took the perfect amount of charge but also made us feel at ease. She made us feel so natural when taking pictures instead of feeling stiff and staged.
She delivered sneak peaks within a few days and we got our entire set of photos back within 6 weeks and they could not have been more perfect. The photos were everything we wanted and so much more!
Samantha was the greatest addition to our wedding and it would be a miss not to have her capture your big moment!

Book Samantha for you wedding!
I stumbled upon Samantha from the Knot, but noticed she had done a few weddings of girls that I had gone to high school with and fell in love with ...
her work. Samantha was beyond great to work with and I am so happy with how my engagement and wedding photos turned out!
She truly captured the moment of our wedding day perfectly and how everyone was feeling on that day. I have gotten so many compliments on my photos and they get better every time I look at them.
I will continue to recommend Samantha to any bride and will be using her myself in the future!

ade sure all my requests were met and was everywhere getting shots from all angles. I was blown away by our sneak peak which we got while on our honeymoon. The pictures perfectly capture who we are without making us look posey. We love everything about what she did!

Sam is the best. I was intimidated by the idea of planning a wedding, she was so helpful along the whole way and ESPECIALLY the day of. She helped with all kinds of things I never ...
would’ve thought fell in her job description. She made us feel so comfortable and is honestly just a joy to be around. Most importantly, her photos are AMAZING! She did an awesome job. She had like 100 photos back to us within a week of the wedding. Highly recommend Sam to help make your day extra special!

Samantha is absolutely beyond amazing. She is professional, sweet, SO talented; literally all of the best things. She made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable and confident ...
in front of the camera. She captures all the special moments you want, and the moments you don’t even realize are happening. We wanted a photographer that captured candid pictures so we could remember our special day exactly as it happened, as well as make us feel comfortable in front of the camera- she knocked both out of the park. We got our sneak peak about a week ago and I cannot help but be in awe at how amazing the pictures we received so far were. Hire Sam! Hire Sam! Hire Sam!

Samantha was an absolute joy to work with! She was so easy to communicate with and was very efficient the day of our wedding. She helped keep the families organized, helped me rela...
x, and just made everything more fun. When she says she will stay until the end of the night, she truly means it. She was still at our reception when the lights came on and we started to gather our belongings. I can't wait to see our photos from the day. Everybody in our bridal party, families and vendors that were working closely with Samantha made comments to me about how wonderful she was. I seriously couldn't say enough good things about working with her!

We gave Sam the title of MVP, top vendor of our wedding! We would book her 1000 times over. The beauty of work already speaks for itself, but what you don't see is all the behind t...
he scenes help you're getting when you hire Samantha. She told us she would be there until the very last song of the night and she didn't leave a second before our day was over. My husband is pretty camera shy and she made him feel so incredibly comfortable, you'd never know he hates having his photo taken. She also delivered a sneak peak gallery of over 100 photos, before we were even back from our honeymoon, which made going back to real life so much easier!
Seriously cannot say enough amazing things about Sam and her photography!

Samantha was one of the best choices we made throughout our wedding planning process! She did the best job on our engagement and wedding photos! She is so nice, fun, and easy going...
! She was very chill and easy to work with when coordinating our wedding timeline and did not mind when we wanted to spend extra time on our party bus (which was not on the timeline). Samantha has a lot of great ideas of where to take photos and also does an amazing job of capturing authentic moments throughout the day! I love the coloring of all of our photos and I feel like Samantha’s work stands out compared to other photographers I researched prior to our wedding and engagement photos. Finally, I love the wood canvas, stretched canvas, and photo booth options she offers! Samantha is a great friend to have present on your wedding day and does the best work! We loved having her capture our day ! Highly recommend!! Wish we could do it all again!

My husband and I seriously cannot thank Sam and her teammate, Lauren, enough for our absolutely gorgeous wedding photos! When we started planning our wedding in Kentucky, from Bost...
on, we were anxious about finding a photographer we liked, trusted and was flexible enough to work with us in this unique situation -- Sam was all of this and so, so much more! She helped ensure we really enjoyed our big day and made all us feel so comfortable and relaxed; all while managing to capture every special moment and candid shot with those we love most. This was the single best decision we made for our wedding and I highly recommend the same for anyone else looking! Thank you again, Sam, it was such a treat working with you and we love our photos so much more than we ever thought possible!

Jenna, it was our pleasure to help! I still look back at your photos and want to instagram...
so many of them!!! :) Thank you for the kind words!

My husband and I are ecstatic with the photographs that Sam captured of our November 16th wedding last year. Sam caught every special moment of our day and the photos will be cheri...
shed by us, our families, and friends for years to come! I could go on forever about how much we love the pictures, but I have to mention that Sam also has the best personality. I had multiple guests at our wedding comment on how awesome she was and she definitely has a gift for making people feel comfortable and welcome. Choosing Sam to photograph your wedding will end up being one of the best decisions you can make in the process and you will be pleased with the photos and her professionalism!
