If we could rate Sam with a hundred stars, it still wouldn’t be enough! He fit in so well with our wedding party and guests, which allowed them to be themselves and have fun with our pictures. He is one of the best photographers I’ve ever met, ...
with a great sense of humor and an eye for some gorgeous photos! Dramatic lighting for some formal shots but he’s best at capturing the smiles, the tears, and the mischief that brides and grooms typically miss (or might even be involved in!). Bottom line- you want to hire him!!!

Angela, what amazing feedback...thank you for this review! It was so fun spending the day with you both and being able to capture all the little (and big) moments. -Sam
Sam and Monica were absolutely amazing! They did our engagement pictures and wedding photography/videography and we were very happy with everything they did! They are very personable and fun to be around and make you feel very comfortable in fr...
ont of the camera which was hard for us! They really listened to what we wanted and personalized our videos and photos to us. It rained most of our wedding day and they were very flexible with working around downpours to make sure we got everything we wanted! Also, the meetings before each session with them were very helpful in getting everyone on the same page and making sure we were comfortable around them. We highly recommend them!
Sam and Monica are absolutely amazing. We enjoyed getting to know them during the time they spent making our wedding a very memorial experience! We highly recommend connecting with them!
Super friendly, down to earth and patient. He worked with us to achieve the exact look and vibe we were looking for with his photography!

Thank you Kim! Those are the kind of tears we love. We are honored to have captured your special day and create something beautifully unique together! - Sam & Monica
We truly could not have asked for better photographers for our wedding. From start to finish Sam and Monica were amazing at their jobs. They were friendly with our guests and took perfect photos, capturing all the little details and moments tha...
t are easy to miss on such a busy day. A lot of the guests kept on coming to me and asking me where I found them, they were so impressed by them.
I heard about this later from my guests, but apparently right before the ceremony (it was outdoors) someone started mowing their lawn very close to our ceremony site. In order to get to the person and alert them to stop, Sam walked right through a patch of poison ivy and went straight up to the guy to get him to stop. It’s not every photographer that will go that extra mile for someone, and we are very grateful for that.
We also got our photos back literally 1 week after the wedding, which was a LOT faster than we were expecting. They turned out great, we love every one of them! We went with collection B, which includes an album of selected photos. Can’t wait to get the album!

all of our guests and we all loved him! What I wouldn't give to be able to post a sample of his beautiful pictures! My only wish is that I could have had him there for longer! He was willing, my planning was lacking!

Sam was wonderful to work with. We were from out of state and my husbands family lives in Toledo. He drove there, from Columbus, Ohio, so he could do our engagement photos. He took a lot of time to make sure it was the perfect l...
ocation for the pictures. He has the most charismatic and funny personality.
For the wedding everyone made comments about how great the photographer was. We all felt as if Sam was a family friend just there taking some pictures. As for the pictures, they were gorgeous! My friends and family were so impressed. I truly don’t know what pictures to pick to enlarge because they are all so beautiful. I would book Sam again in a heartbeat!

Hi! We are Sam and Monica. When we got married in 2009 we agreed that documenting our wedding day was top priority. Sam had come over from England just shy of 2 years before and we were just getting on our feet...our wedding budget was tiny! The majority of our DIY wedding $ went into our photographer.
We have since had zero regrets about investing our time & money into those photos. We look at them and experience that day over & over again. The dress is stored, the silk flowers are in a vase (and slightly dusty), but our photos are alive. It would be our privlage to do the same for you❤️
