We met Sam at a bridal fair and discussed with him the challenges of shooting in our low-light wedding venue. At our first appointment, he immediately made us feel at ease and we just clicked. Seeing his portfolio made us even more confident that he was the best choice for us. We had very high expectations and Sam and DJ managed to surpass every one of them. Photography the day of the wedding was relaxed but still on schedule. We loved the suggestions for areas of our venue to shoot and the creativity used to set up images superior to others we have seen. The results are spectacular. We would highly recommend them for any event

Sam Comandatore at Eighty Eight Photo was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding! He was professional, good-tempered despite the extreme heat, and shot the most amazing photos at our venue, 1885 Farms!

Sam requested to move the sofa and vintage truck into the shade, which helped immensely with our comfort levels in our outdoor photos. He stayed light-hearted and fun at all times, and captured every important moment stunningly.

I love his dramatic style, and he knows what he is doing with lighting and timing. I couldn't be happier with our photos and recommend Eighty Eight Photo to anyone who wants gorgeous coverage of their day! Best. Investment. Ever.

We cannot recommend Eighty Eighty Photography enough—choosing Sam and the team for our wedding was seriously the best decision we ever made! From start to finish, Sam Comandatore and his team were such a joy to get to know and work with. My new husband Zak and I live in Ireland (we grew up in the Midwest) and got married at the Metropolitan at the 9’s in Cleveland on June 7.

We actually didn’t even meet Sam in person until our wedding day, but thanks to our great conversations and planning via Zoom meetings beforehand, it really felt like we were already friends when we finally met. This made our whole wedding day so fun and easy! Sam makes every step of planning your wedding photography a breeze—his blog and website are so detailed and helpful, especially for us planning our wedding from an entire country away!

Sam and the team pour their hearts and care into ensuring each couple feels special, happy, and comfortable, and it truly shows. On our wedding day, Sam made everyone laugh and feel at ease with his engaging stories and wonderful sense of humor. Several family members even asked if Zak and I knew him personally because he blended in so seamlessly and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

And he’s so professional too! Zak and I were blown away by the team’s skill and dedication on our wedding day—they’re truly experts at their craft and pay so much attention to all the little details that make up each photo. I couldn’t be more thankful for how they took such great care of us and captured all the little moments of our wedding day with such finesse and care. Zak told me later that he didn’t even notice most of the time before the ceremony and reception when they were taking pictures or filming—they really do such a great job of capturing the day in a way that isn’t intrusive at all.

Sam and the team completely blew us away with every single picture. They got so many photos and previews back to us even within the day! We had never had our pictures professionally taken before, and when Sam showed us our first one, we were astounded by his ability to create such stunning photos of us. We loved Sam’s portfolio online and the unique and outstanding style his photos had, and the photos we got back met and exceeded the high bar that his portfolio presents. It was really cool seeing some of these incredibly creative shots starring us! All our guests have been non-stop saying how amazing our photographer was and how our wedding photos are the best they’ve ever seen!

And we got the photos back so fast. Like, I’m almost concerned for Sam with the turnaround time 😂. The dedication and commitment he took to our project CANNOT be understated.

I couldn’t recommend Sam and the team at Eighty Eighty Photography enough for the most amazing photos and videos you’ll ever see of yourself, your family, and your friends. Our experience with them was genuinely so special, and we’ll never forget their kindness, passion, and ability to create the most stunning works of art we’ve ever seen, capturing all the love, joy, and happiness of our wedding day.
