Samia's Studios

e with her! She made us feel comfortable during the entire process and was so professional. Her team was fantastic as well! We were so happy with our photos and video. If we had to choose our photographer again, there would be no question we'd choose Samia! Thank you, Samia!

d to have Samia take our engagement photos. It was my first time having her take my photo and I was instantly even more impressed with her than I already was. She gave such thorough direction and made me and my fiancé feel totally comfortable and not awkward at all! The photos turned out better than I could have imaged and I can't wait to print them and see the memories every day!

e night progressed. She and Megan were phenomenal with getting everyone organized, working with my day of coordinator, and just knowing what I wanted. I’m not the best at communication, to an understandable fault, but she was incredible! The second photographer was amazing with the guys getting ready, and was even able to help tie our late groomsmen’s bow tie around one of my bridesmaid’s bouquets, which was so special to my husband and I. Overall, I am so glad we chose Samia and her team and would choose them one hundred times over. I highly recommend Samia- she is sweet, understanding, listens fully, and has a great eye for the best shots.

does seem meant to do this. She loves love and it comes across in her excitement and energy. We also took her recommendations for almost all of our vendors which was also the best decision we could have made. The day went seamlessly and our photos are fun, stunning, and feel like us. We also need to add that our video was spectacular. We cried all morning watching it. It truly captured the joy and love we felt all day. We couldn’t be more grateful to Samia and her amazing team! Best decision we made.

t can go wrong and give you helpful recommendations. Her talent is on point. They made us feel calm and positive throughout our wedding. Her and her team truly saved our wedding. It was unfortunate that our guests gave them a hard time as they were blocking them, but they were so good adjusting to difficult work environment and remained positive. They go above and beyond what they do. I can’t thank them enough. We will forever recommend them to anyone who gets married! No matter where!!!

d even more excitement for our wedding day! Samia did such a wonderful job listening to what was important to us and it came through on all the beautiful pictures she captured from our entire day. We did the package to get the printed album for ourselves and parents and highly recommend this as well. Samia and her team made it such a fun, easy and smooth process to select our favorite pictures. We also got so many compliments from our family and friends on what a great job Samia did. We can't recommend Samia enough to future couples!

as mastered the art of capturing authentic moments. She was welcoming to all of our family and friends, and she made everyone feel at ease. I had absolute trust in her, and she truly delivered photos that gorgeously captured our day. She provided us with such helpful guidance on the timeline for our day, and she was perfectly prepared to make each transition flow seamlessly into the next. Finding a wedding photographer puts SO much trust in a professional, and I wholeheartedly recommend putting your trust in Samia.

e. We were able to smile naturally and feel all the joy and jubilation of our special day—Samia was able to capture these cherished moments in a beautiful, organic way. We were so happy with how light and bright the photos looked, even on a bit of a grey and drizzly day. The photos looked like what our hearts and minds felt, and not what the weather report stated! We are so happy Samia was our photographer, and couldn’t have imagined a better experience!

st fun to be around! She made the process of taking photos seamless (my husband gets SO awkward in photos!) and captured so many precious moments throughout our session. We certainly have so many photos that we will treasure for a lifetime. I would highly recommend Samia to any of my family and friends. Thanks again to Samia for capturing this special experience!

whole session and made it super comfortable (and fun) for us! The turn around time was quick and we couldn’t love the photos more. Wish we could go back in time just so we could hire her as our wedding photographer, thank you Samia!!

Wedding and Reception in December 2021 at the Elkridge Furnace Inn. We were so excited to work with Samia again because we knew how well her style and personality matched with ours. The connection and ease we felt with Samia showed through in our wedding photos. The images - particularly from our first look and intimate “Bride and Groom” photos before our wedding and our wedding party photos which included our children - made us both cry when we viewed them. The light in these photos and the love she captured between my husband and my self and our family and friends enchanted everyone who has seen these images – they are full of warmth, humor and genuine romance. Samia also was particularly sensitive about photographing my husband’s daughter who is autistic and quite camera shy. Samia took many lovely photos of her at our wedding celebration, in many she is actually smiling, which was previously unheard of – Samia really took the time to make her comfortable with her and the camera. I can’t wait to see them printed in our wedding album and to frame some for Father’s day. Her ability to make the entire wedding party comfortable, while also staying organized and helping to keep us all on track shows through in her entire finished product. The pictures taken as a whole are stunning, capturing glowy flattering light at just the right times, for just the right pictures. On a practical note, Samia was consistently communicative using her online system, emails and phone & text. She checked in with us regularly and frankly was a blessing to work with when other members of our Wedding team were often not as solidly professional. Her eye for detail was astounding. She navigated complex family dynamics and moved swiftly though portraits knowing when to blend in, and when to check in with us about certain photos we had requested to keep things moving in a timely way. I loved that many family members asked later if Samia was a friend because of how easily her personality blended with our group. She and her videographer Megan are both lovely people anyone would be pleased to have attend their wedding. The Video they shot and edited was wonderful and we will treasure it forever. My husband and I watch it on repeat. - I’m so incredibly grateful we decided to add that option to our package. I’m looking forward to framing some of her beautiful photos for our new home and I can’t wait to see our Fine Art Album that Samia is in the process of preparing (It took me forever to choose my “favorite” photos for the album because I literally had hundreds!). If you’re looking for a cheap photographer, I don’t think Samia is the one for you. Nor should she be for all that she offers. But if you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, plus real value for your money look no further. Plus, she offers something that not all photographers can, real flexibility. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID 3 times and Samia did not miss a beat, even thoughtfully sending us many updated schedules and checking in with us frequently to keep our spirits up during lockdown! We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Samia’s Studios!

accommodating even when we were nervous about how the weather would affect our photos. She was really good at communicating both during the photos (getting us to feel natural and capturing really special moments) and in getting us the photos after. I highly recommend Samia!

lity and really put me at ease on my wedding day! She kept us on track throughout the day and captured every moment perfectly. We got our photos back so quickly, and they were breathtaking! She captures such candid moments because she gives direction while also allowing you to act naturally. We absolutely love our photos and our video! Samia was easily our favorite wedding vendor to work with, and we can't recommend her enough for your special day!

. She helped bring our vision to life and made every part of the planning process seamless. She helped created the timeline for our wedding day and worked very well with our other vendors. She could tell when we needed a break from taking photos and was prepared to improvise when rain drove us under cover. On top of being a delight to work with, the photos we received for both our engagement shoot and wedding day turned out beautifully and we are thrilled with our gallery. Photos were returned to us VERY quickly after both of our shoots, and we have SO many incredible shots to frame and share. Samia's second shooter at our wedding was also incredibly professional, talented, and kind. We have nothing but great things to say about our experience and would highly recommend Samia's services to anyone looking for a photographer that will blow you away.

usiness aspect that brings her entire photography practice together. Pay whatever she charges because the peace of mind she gives you during the wedding planning process is worth every dime. She was the one vendor I did not have to worry about because I knew she had everything under control. Follow her on Instagram (@samias_studios), where you will always see her posting stories about the next development in the wedding photography industry or pictures of your wedding. We can't wait to treasure our pictures for the years to come.

, as well as many beautiful moments and details of the day, seamlessly moving through the ceremony and party. On top of that, we got our pictures in just a few days. Highly recommended and would hire her all over again!
