I honestly can't write enough good things about these two! They are the most genuine, kind, joyful people and know exactly how to capture your day in the perfect way no matter the ...
venue, event or weather. Pictures have always been important to me, a way to capture memories to forever look back on and Petie and Sam captured my entire vision and more for both our engagement pictures and our wedding! It was raining on our wedding day and they still found a way to make the pictures bright, timeless and whimsical just like I had always dreamed of. They knew the perfect spots to take pictures at our venue, had the perfect timeline and were very communicative during the whole wedding planning process, helped capture quick shots during breaks in the rain, and helped guide us how to pose perfectly while also getting the best candids I've ever seen and will cherish forever! You seriously can't go wrong hiring these two! They will make your day absolutely perfect I promise. I plan to hire them for other milestones in the future because they are just that wonderful!
We truly cannot say enough good things about Petie and Sam. From the very beginning with our engagement photos through the wedding day itself, they were absolutely incredible. They...
made us feel comfortable, calm, and taken care of every step of the way. Our photos also turned out even more beautifully than we could have expected.
On the day of the wedding, their calm energy was such a gift. They captured every important moment beautifully without ever feeling intrusive or overwhelming. So many of our guests even commented on how wonderful they were.
We are so grateful to have had them as our photographers and would recommend them to anyone looking for talented, kind, and incredibly professional people to capture such a special day.
We absolutely loved working with The Tuckers Photography! This husband-and-wife team made the entire experience feel so easy, natural, and fun from start to finish. They created su...
ch a calm, go-with-the-flow atmosphere that helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined — a perfect mix of fun candid moments and truly elegant portraits. One of the things that impressed us most was how attentive and observant they were. They quickly picked up on what was important to us without us really having to explain it, and they captured so many meaningful moments we didn’t even realize we would want. Some of those surprise shots ended up being our absolute favorites!
Their turnaround time was also incredible. We received our sneak peek photos so quickly after the wedding, and everyone in our wedding party commented on both how fast the photos came back and how beautiful they were.
We are so grateful to have had them as part of our wedding day.
We cannot recommend The Tuckers Photography enough! Petie and Sam are an incredible husband-and-wife team who made every moment of our wedding photography experience fun, easy and ...
unforgettable.
From our very first interaction with Petie at our engagement shoot, she put us completely at ease. My husband and I are pretty awkward when it comes to taking photos, but during our engagement shoot, Petie somehow made the whole process light, fun and stress-free. By the time the wedding rolled around, we knew we were in the best hands.
On our wedding day, Petie photographed the girls getting ready, and Sam captured the guys ... it was seamless. They managed to snap so many fun, candid and beautiful moments without ever being intrusive. During the ceremony and reception, it was like they were invisible, yet they somehow captured EVERYTHING. We were blown away when we saw the photos because we don’t even remember them taking half of them — true professionals!
One of the coolest surprises was seeing a sneak peek of our photos AT our reception! Petie and Sam had a selection of images scrolling on an iPad at the bar, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was. That thoughtful touch alone speaks to how they go above and beyond.
They made sure to get ample photos of every important moment, without being overbearing or interrupting the flow of the day. Petie and Sam took exactly the shots we wanted and offered creative suggestions throughout that made our photos even more magical.
We are absolutely thrilled with the moments they captured — photos we will cherish for a lifetime. We can’t stop telling everyone we know about The Tuckers Photography. If you’re looking for professional, talented and genuinely kind photographers who will exceed every expectation, Petie and Sam are IT!
Thank you, Petie and Sam, for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.
Petie and Sam were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. From our first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Their professional yet friendly demeanor put us at e...
ase right away, and we fully trusted their vision. Their experience and creativity were evident, and it showed in every aspect of their work.
On the day of our wedding, we had so much confidence in their ability to capture exactly what we wanted that we didn't stress at all about the photography. They took the time to understand our preferences and were incredibly attentive to our needs and wishes. Their calm and organized approach made everything run smoothly.
Our entire wedding party was equally impressed. Petie and Sam made the experience so fun and seamless. Their guidance on poses was invaluable; they made us feel very natural and comfortable in front of the camera, which was a huge relief for those of us not used to being photographed professionally.
What stood out the most was their ability to be invisible in all the best ways. They never made us feel like the camera was always in our face, yet it seemed like they were always around when we wanted a specific picture. Their unobtrusive presence allowed us to enjoy our day without feeling like we were constantly being photographed, while still capturing every special moment.
The photos turned out even better than we could have imagined. They captured the essence and emotion of the day perfectly. We were blown away by the quality and artistry of their work. Friends and family have both said the photos are some of the most beautiful pictures they have ever seen.
We can't say enough great things about Petie and Sam. Their talent, professionalism, and warmth made them an integral part of our wedding day. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for photographers who will go above and beyond to capture your special moments. Thank you, Petie and Sam, for making our wedding day unforgettable!
I could write a novel about all the reasons why we love Petie and Sam. They are the ultimate hype team and maintained their energy throughout our entire wedding. They made us feel ...
comfortable, gave us direction, handled our rowdy crowd with grace and respected that we didn't want to be behind the camera for our whole event. Our sneak peek photos have me drooling, I cannot wait to see the full gallery. Petie and Sam, thank you for everything. I can't wait to use you again for future shoots.

We knew right away that we wanted the Tuckers to be our wedding photographers. My husband and I had both been in weddings that they photographed so had already seen their wonderful...
demeanor and beautiful work. Petie and Sam didn't disappoint, it was the happiest day thanks to them, and we'll be re-living it through their incredible photos for years to come!
Absolutely the best. If you’re considering booking them, just do it. You won’t regret it.
They captured our wedding day so perfectly. We were on the fence about getting a videog...
rapher, but decided not to… and have no regrets because Petie and Sam captured so much- so well!
There are endless amazing things I could say about Tuckers photography, from the energy they bring, their talent in capturing moments, beautiful editing style, quick photo turn around time, efficient communication, and overall such great people to be around.
The Tuckers were amazing to work with!!! Petie and Sam are so sweet, and they were very flexible to accommodate our wedding weekend schedule. They made us feel so comfortable takin...
g pictures. The Tuckers captured all of our special moments and really listened to what we wanted in terms of the overall feel of our photographs and what we wanted captured!
Petie and Sam were absolutely incredible! I cannot recommend them enough. They are also much more than a photography team. They checked in on us periodically throughout the wedd...
ing planning process, answered my millions of questions, and helped build my timeline with my coordinator. Needless to say they are also brilliant photographers. I was so impressed with how they always made my husband and I feel so comfortable. From the start I explained we weren't big photo people . They always made sure we felt comfortable and made it fun! They also handled every circumstance with grace. They accommodated our large bridal parties, our decision to have no first look, and the desire to have all photos done by the end of cocktail hour. Everyone that interacted with them said how sweet and friendly they were as well. All the photos came out beautifully and they were so timely with delivering. I cannot thank the Tuckers enough for being such and incredible team, making us feel so special and making me feel like everything was taken care of.
Petie and Sam are a dynamic duo and they were such a delight to work with! When we first met them at our engagement shoot, they made us feel comfortable as we warmed up in front of...
the camera. They demonstrated poses together and were awesome cheerleaders - always friendly, warm, and encouraging.
On top of that, their photos are absolutely stunning - both bright and colorful. As a wedding coordinator, I have a great appreciation for their artistic eye and style, which comes through in their work.
My husband and I were surprised with a slideshow preview during our actual reception, and a special blog post and sneak peak days later. The linen album they designed for us is just gorgeous, high quality, and an awesome keepsake for the years to come. We highly recommend The Tuckers!
Petie and Sam are the BEST! When I started planning my wedding and came across their work, I knew that they were my dream team. We were absolutely thrilled to work with them and we...
just adore our gorgeous wedding photos. From our engagement photos to planning our wedding timeline to the big day, Petie and Sam made the whole process so easy and fun - they just exude so much joy! They made us and our bridal party feel so comfortable and coached us through everything. During wedding planning, our wedding photos were on my list of top three most important things and Petie and Sam went above and beyond. BOOK THEM!
Petie and Sam are the REAL deal. We had the benefit of being in a wedding party photographed by the Tuckers, and after observing them working behind the scenes all day and night, h...
andling the unexpected curveballs like a pro, we were so impressed that they were the first vendor we booked when we began planning our own wedding. Working with them 1-on-1 through the engagement shoot and all the wedding planning, we fell in love with them even more! They are so incredibly talented, kind, and fun to work with. When we look at our wedding photos, we look like the best versions of ourselves and we get to relive all the magic they helped create. We're so incredibly thankful and cannot recommend them highly enough!
Petie and Sam are AMAZING!! We love our photos and can not say enough good things about working with them. They are the sweetest couple and made us feel so comfortable in front of ...
the camera! They are a joy to be around, which is important because you spend a lot of time with the photographers! They are also thorough and organized on the business side of things, which is so helpful as a stressed out bride. And they take gorgeous photos!! We are obsessed! They gave us a sneak peek of some photos at the reception, which was amazing! We could not recommend them more!!
BOOK THE TUCKERS! They are the best photographers we could have asked for on our special day. We had multiple sessions with Petie and Sam and every time, it was like we were hangin...
g out with long-time friends ;) They will make you feel at ease, comfortable, and you will absolutely love their photos. Communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic and our wedding day was flawless - they captured everything we wanted and more. Truly, we could not have had a better pair of photographers for our wedding.
Petie and Sam are the absolute best! Every single photo from our engagement shoot and wedding have been flawless! Not only are they the sweetest couple, but they made us feel so co...
mfortable and natural in front of the camera. Our big day had horrible weather (snow and rain!), but the Tuckers worked with us to ensure we had beautiful photos of our day. Sam was throwing a jacket on and off me (it was 30 degrees and windy haha) while Petie was making us laugh in the moment and capturing memories we will truly cherish. I highly recommend hiring this sweet couple to take your wedding pictures! Thank you so much for everything, Petie and Sam!!

Where to begin?! Petie & Sam are wonderful people and incredible photographers! We loved the pictures from both our engagement shoot and wedding day! They made us feel comfortable ...
in front of the camera and they helped us have fun, relax, and soak in the moments with each other. Plus Petie & Sam felt like good friends after it all! You definitely won't be disappointed if you choose the Tuckers but you will be if you don't choose them! They are the best!
When it came to planning our wedding, the most important must have items to us was having the best photos to capture the best day of our lives. Petie and Sam Tucker exceeded our ex...
pectations! They helped make the wedding process so easy! They made you feel so comfortable and look so effortless. They are just the warmest and nicest couples you'll ever meet! We just got our photos back and everyone that we have showed so far have said those are the best wedding photos they have ever seen!! I HIGHLY recommend this amazing husband and wife photography team!
We LOVE The Tuckers! Petie & Sam were absolutely the highlight of our wedding day (besides getting married, of course!). They were so much fun to work with for my sister's wedding ...
earlier in the year, that we had to hire them for our wedding in Sept. 2020. Obviously, our big day was impacted by COVID-19 (we moved to an outdoor venue and downsized to just 28 guests), but having the Tuckers by our side through all of the changes and roadblocks was a dream. The wedding day highlight photos were SO amazing - it was so nice to have some photos right away to share with our many friends and family who weren't able to attend the wedding. They also delivered our final album ahead of schedule - how often do you hear that?! You MUST choose The Tuckers Photography for any/all of your photography needs!
Petie and Sam are ABSOLUTELY amazing. They made it so easy to be comfortable with them. They have photographed several weddings that I have attended besides our own and they are AL...
WAYS fun and capture the best moments.
The Tuckers Photography was an absolute DREAM to have on my wedding day and I could not recommend them more! We were married at Big Spring Farm in Lexington, which if you've ever s...
een it, you know it has gorgeous views. It poured all day and we were so worried about getting couples portraits outside, but Petie and Sam made it happen! They were literally soaking wet and sprinting with umbrellas to make sure we didn't get soaked before our reception. And our pictures were so beautiful! They gave us and our guests a "sneak peak" at the reception of some of the day's photos (which was so fun for my husband and I to look through!). Every single guest was in awe of how beautiful the photos were and how incredible they were able to make everything look even in the rain! On top of being incredible photographers, Petie and Sam are also a joy to be around (which is so important since they are with you for a huge chunk of your day!). They were both so fun and listened so well to what we envisioned for the day! They also made us feel so comfortable during both the wedding day and engagement shoot, and it really came through in how natural our pictures looked! I really can't say enough about how thankful we were to have them shoot our day and we get so much JOY from looking through our pictures! Thank you Petie and Sam!!
Petie and Sam are the best! The engagement session was so much fun, and they made us feel so comfortable. We were so happy how they helped incorporate our dog, Sydnee, in the pictu...
res. They were there every step of the way throughout wedding planning, and they were incredibly helpful in setting up a timeline. For the engagement pictures and for the wedding day, there were chances of rain. They were incredibly flexible in making adjustments due to weather, and we trusted them wholeheartedly in their decisions that would best fit us. They were very professional and so fun to work with! Petie and Sam are so talented, and the pictures have turned out amazing! We cannot wait to see the rest! We cannot thank them enough for everything!!
Not only are these 2 unbelievable at what they do but they are a blast to work with and made us feel so comfortable. We never stopped laughing while we were together! They go above...
and beyond to get the most unreal pictures and cover all the details before wedding day to make sure they don’t miss a thing! They’re so professional and you can tell they have such a passion for what they do. We are so grateful we were able to work with them and It was such a pleasure having them on our special day!
There are not enough great things I can say about The Tuckers. Petie and Sam are absolutely amazing photographers and all around great people. The pictures they took for our engage...
ment session, my bridal portraits and then our wedding are ones we are so happy to keep forever. It's also extremely helpful to have a married couple showing you how to stand with each other for the pictures! The Tuckers are definitely the best!
Sam and Petie are simply the BEST! I first saw their work at a friends wedding I attended for a few years ago and I fell in love. They were editing photo's during their meal time ...
so the bride could have a sneak peak that night. When it came time to plan my wedding, I knew I wanted them to be my photographers before I had even chosen my venue. Not only do they love their jobs, but they are really, REALLY good at what they do. They have a way of making the whole (crazy) day come together. They were with us every step of the day to capture all of our special moments. The sneak peak photos sent that night brought the biggest smile onto my face. It's little things they do like that that set them apart from other wedding photographers. The Tucker's are organized, flexible, and spontaneous. I say spontaneous because there are some moments during our engagement and wedding photo shoots where they saw a backdrop and went out of their way to grab the best shot (dangling over the water with expensive camera equipment- hoping not to fall in). Not many photographers would take that risk! Overall, the pictures are absolutely stunning! My friends and family have all been raving about the photos that they took. If you're looking for the perfect photographers for your wedding day- you've found them right here!
WE LOVE THE TUCKERS! They helped capture our proposal in 2017 and were amazing to work with on our wedding day. So many of our family and friends made comments about how much they ...
were impressed with the Tuckers and how great they were at helping things run smoothly and stay fun. I think the Tuckers have a lot of unique things to offer that other photographers can't because they are basically a 2 for 1 special. They have double the talent, a great back and forth relationship, and the ability to be in two places at once! We had a sneak peak that night (how?!) and then a blog post just a few days later so that we had beautifully edited images right away while waiting for our full gallery. If I had to do it all over again I would pick the Tuckers every time.
Literally the most fun, easy going, yet professional photographers. We could not have asked for a more perfect couple to capture our day. It was so nice having both of them to take...
pictures of bride and groom getting ready and honestly looking at pictures from the reception we kept asking ourselves "how did they get that shot??" they were not in the way at all yet captured SO many fun memories of the day. We are SO thankful we chose The Tuckers Photography. The best decision we could have made, after saying I DO, of course!
Sam and Petie are AMAZING! We just had our engagement session with them 2 weeks ago and received our photos today. Not only are they amazing photographers, they capture incredible ...
moments, and make you feel so comfortable (dare I say they make you feel like a modeling pro?!). They are so kind, encouraging, positive, energetic, and professional. I can hardly wait to have them photograph our wedding in a year.
The Tucker's were wonderful! Petie and Sam were so easy to work with, and so helpful with all aspects of photographing our engagement and wedding day. The pictures came out absolut...
ely breathtaking! We could not have been happy with them and we would recommend them to anyone!
