Samshots Photo & Video

ographer.

ire Samshots team is incredibly professional and responsive. We did a first look video and photo session and they came up with creative ways to use the scenery to take the best photos and drone video by the water <3 We loved having them be part of our special day and would highly recommend!

the evening. Sam and his team are a fabulous group of professionals who manage to keep things light and fun from beginning to end. They went with the flow, kept us on schedule, and managed to capture incredible moments all at the same time. At the wedding I had members of the bridal party commenting on how enjoyable and professional Sam and his team were. What more can you ask for? I just shared my SamShots photos and highlights video with my family and close friends and instantly started receiving most incredible feedback. Samshots’ use of light and thoughtful incorporation of my venue’s unique design features make the portrait photographs stunning and visually interesting on multiple levels. The team also did a wonderful job of capturing the emotions and energy felt by everyone present in a way that I didn’t even know possible! Being able to look back at the photos of our friends and family as they are genuinely enjoying themselves on our big day is priceless and puts a smile on my face any time I see it. Thank you SamShots!!!!

w exemplary our wedding photos would turn out. My husband and I were extremely happy to have Sam and his team with us throughout the wedding day and on the dance floor while the madness ensued! : ) Many kudos to James and Susie on Sam's team for their very positive attitude and constant support throughout the event. Having had such brilliant photos, I can not wait to finally see our wedding video. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

the whole experience again. Sam, the founder of Samshots photography, is extremely talented, skilled, well equipped and very nice person to work with. He has the most advanced technology including drone camera to capture the moments. He has gathered a very gifted and brilliant group of individuals who will capture every moment of your occasion, and those moments stay with you forever. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Samshots Photography for your next event. Feel free to check my wedding video at: https://vimeo.com/135714350

ideo a few months after the wedding, he put together and understood exactly what we wanted. We will have those memories now forever. I cannot thank you guys enough. We highly recommend Samshots Photo & Video

wedding day. :)

. You cannot miss the talent. Sam was really thoughtful and he even offered to do us an engagement session, not as part of the contract, just to get to know us better and make us feel more comfortable working with him on the wedding day. We cannot find words to show our gratitude for the most amazing photos ever. We have been to Georgetown area many times, saw the same spots that Sam took us to, but his inventive shots showed the area as the most beautiful place on earth. The wedding was only 4 days after the engagement session; yet, Sam made it again! He was able to surprise us, and the guests, with a very beautiful poster of one of our engagement shots, in addition to “Thank you” cards displaying another gorgeous shot, which looked so elegant when distributed on the tables of the guests. On the wedding day, Sam and his crew, where part of the family, they were everywhere without making you feels anxious, on the contrary, they made us feel relaxed and even laugh. Sam was focused on even minor details and timing of events was as important to him as it was to us. Above all, I was treated like a real princess! We had 2 events on that day, which needed photos to be taken for 13 hours, and you may not believe it, but the whole crew has the same level of energy till the last minute (with the same friendly smiles). When we received our wedding photos, we were speechless, as he went above and beyond, and we could not find words that can do him justice. He captured every cherished moment of the day, and he came up with a magical, fairytale story with his creative shots. The photos will always be a priceless treasure, and I will trust no one but SAM for any future event.

t budget, but I knew I wanted photos and video to capture the special day. But then I found Samshots! I couldn't believe their package deal, and I was almost hesitant thinking it was too good to be true! But they went above and beyond all my expectations!!! First, Sam gave us an amazing engagement shoot! He made me laugh so hard that my fake eye lashes fell off!!! Haha! He was so creative with his photos, and he's a genius with natural lighting! On our wedding day, not only did he bring a huge poster of one of our favorite engagement photos, and thank you notes for ALL of our guests (it had different pictures from our engagement shoot), but he also brought the most amazing team of photographers and videographers! They kept me at ease, made me feel like the most beautiful bride, and they made me laugh throughout my whole day! Guests kept telling me how awesome our photographers were! They truly became apart of our family that day! They came as vendors, and left as our good friends! I can't tell them thank you enough!! Find it in your wedding budget to hire these guys! I promise you, they are completely worth it!!!

nd flexible and really listened to what I was looking for. He made us feel comfortable during the engagement photo shoot and made it super fun for us. We did our pictures in Georgetown and he knew the best spots for pictures and he had a great vision of how the photos would turn out. The pictures turned out perfect and it was hard to choose which ones we wanted for the album because they were all so amazing. We got tons of compliments on our photos. Sam continued to impress me on our wedding day. He did a walk-though of the venue two weeks before so he could start getting some ideas. I sent him some picture ideas I was interested in ahead of time and he made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted. He also had tons of great ideas for pictures himself. He was so accommodating and flexible. He worked hard to get the best pictures the whole day. One of the best things about Sam is that you can really tell that he loves being a photographer. He brought a great energy and positivity to the wedding. I really can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Sam. I would recommend him to any bride.

daring…in turn producing both nice traditional and out-of-the box photos :) We got so many compliments on our edgy engagement photos and beautiful wedding photos. Not to mention, his prices are very reasonable especially considering the quality of his work. I would 110% recommend Sam for anybody who wants to have a great time while creating wonderful, affordable, photographs. We can’t wait to hire Sam to take more photos for us once we begin our family. We have already decided that he will be our "go-to" guy for all photos in the future :) We love you Sam!!!!

y album is the most gorgeous product I've ever seen. Thank you Sam, so much for coming to my wedding day rescue. You promised big things and you delivered. Thank you and your staff so much.

king for... We recently had an engagement shoot with Sam and couldn't be happier with the process AND results... We were blown away by how many quality pictures he took; it was difficult to choose! He has gone out of his way to make our experience seamless and enjoyable. We can't wait for him to shoot our wedding this fall. I would recommend him to any bride, groom or family!

he lighting, the contrasts, the poses were all excellent. And, they were delivered exactly when Sam said they would be! I posted my engagement photos on Facebook and they got RAVE reviews from all my friends. Some folks thought we were celebrities or models and said our photos belong in a magazine. Can't wait to see what he will do for us on the big day!!!

able to work out the details of the wedding day. He was very professional, courteous, and fun to work with. The day was wonderful, and Sam was able to capture the heart of our wedding day. He is fantastic! I will definitely use Samshots for any future gigs.

e day in their images. Sam was very easy to communicate and very fun! Both our engagement photo shoot and wedding day were perfectly documented. Several guests at the reception commented on how they seemed to be everywhere at once... never missing a moment. When we received our final photos, that certainly proved true! My husband and I couldn't be happier with Sam's work, and we both felt they covered every possible shot we could ever want. Perhaps most importantly, we felt Samshots really cared about our experience and worked their hardest capture our memories and emotions from that day, and they certainly succeeded.

r!!! I can not recommend him enough. I have been married for months and everyday I look at his pictures. They are so beautiful and truly capture every part of your day. Besides his talent, he is incredibly professional, easy to communicate. He was early on the big day , his 2nd photographer was AWESOME, THEY MAKE SUCH A GREAT TEAM AND JUST SO MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND. My memories have been captured in such a beautiful way that it brings tears to my eyes every time I look at them. I feel like I am there and can remember every second of our big day. I could not be happier!!!!

s that I had from groupon, living social, capitol deal, etc. for an expiration date, and I noticed that this is the case with a few other vendors too. I did not have any problems redeeming the other vouchers , most of them were nice enough to let me use the groupon since the vouchers were all less than a month after the expiration date. but this one was different. he wanted to charge us more than double the price of the groupon, which we agreed to, but then even scheduling was a huge pain. he treated us like he wants to do us a big favor, even after we agreed to pay more, and finally said that they are booked for the whole month. I can't believe that he couldn't even do the 1-hour in studio session for us, but I said I understand, and will contact him later when are not as busy! he had initially asked us how many people will be in the session, and I said 2 to 3. I, my husband, and my sister. he was fine with that and did not mention an extra charge, other than what he already wanted to charge us! a few months after I got back to him, and asked if they can schedule the session we had the voucher for, and also mentioned thatI and my husband, which got married a year before that, but never had a wedding party, are planning to have a wedding party in a few months, so we'd like to take the opportunity to get introduced to his work, to maybe consider him as our wedding photographer. I mentioned all this because I wanted to make sure he's available for our wedding party date, before thinking about his work. He replied that he's available, but now would charge us 300something for the session!!! I understand that an engagement session is priced around this amount, but we were not asking for an engagement session! we just wanted to redeem our voucher for a simple in-studio one hour session! when I mentioned this, he replied that's fine, but the voucher was only for one person being shoot, and I have to pay $250 for each extra person!!!!! what does that say about a business owner? I'll leave it to you to judge. how much money you can drain out of a person at one interaction is not the key to having a successful business. building strong relationships with your clients based on fairness and good service is. I feel sorry for him, and decided I let go of the thought of redeeming this voucher. I saw his work on his website, and I liked it, but would never want to work with a photographer with this type of personality. weddings are enough headache sometimes. I thought I should leave a comment here, so that brides won't have to deal with a vendor that will add to their headaches if something small goes wrong. the results of his work might be fine, but we found him bad-tempered and hard to deal with, so be prepared for that if you choose him.

honestly I completely forgot they were there. They captured some great action shots at the reception and church and didn't do a lot of posed pictures, very journalistic which makes every photo interesting. Everyone who sees the photos are blown away and so impressed. I believe the photography is the most important aspect of any special day. Well worth the money!

nd suggestions for photos. Overall, we were very pleases with the quality and amount of pictures taken. We will use him again for our future photography needs.

ven notice hes there,and thats what makes the photos so great. If I had to do it all over again i would choose Samshots! Finally, the greatest thing about him is he really makes you feel comfortable in your surroundings by joking, talking and listening, and just all around being a very easy person to be around. No question about it, we would highly recommend...

amazing, artistic work that captured our day perfectly!! I would recommend Sam's without any hesitation. He really is a true artist and will document any occasion of yours better than you could even imagine it!! Thanks for everything Sam, we truly loved working with you!!!
