The photographer was one of the most important vendors for me on my wedding day, and my father and I researched countless photographers. I came across Samuel's work, and fell in love. His style is outside the box, but isn't so artsy that the ...style takes over the subject, which is an important thing for brides! We did an engagement session with him, which was included in our package, which I thought was fantastic, because it gave us a chance to work with him before the wedding day, so we could see how he works, and he could see how we are as well. The engagement shoot was an adventure in and of itself, and was so much fun - oh, and the photos were amazing! Our wedding day was fantastic, Samuel and his assistant were always there taking photos, but not in a way that you really noticed them, which was really nice. My only wish for that day was that we'd had MORE time to do more photos! We were pressed for time (as happens probably more often than not), so we didn't get to spend as much time with him as I would have liked. Either way, all of the photos turned out amazing, we got a disc with all of the photos on them, which is another thing I really appreciated from Samuel. He's out of San Luis Obispo, we're in the Bay Area, I know he also travels and does destination weddings, so, check out his photos, he is amazing, and I'd recommend him to anyone and everyone!
