Something I don’t think that brides realize, is exactly how large of a role your photographer plays in your wedding. You choose your photographer bc you love their eye, their photography style - but they also are the ones that truly end up running your wedding day! Sam has such a beautiful soul and unbelievable eye for catching the moments that matter, but she also can RUN. THE. DAY. She set our schedule, kept us (and others) on it and was so graceful with her execution of the family and bridal party photos. After our engagement, we hired Sam for a family reminding and since our wedding, our family members have hired her for special moments. We plan on continuing to to use Sam throughout the significant moments in our life and I can’t imagine using anyone else.

From our first phone call, I knew Sam was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding day photographer! She has such a natural way of putting her couples at ease, and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Sam's bright personality helped keep the energy high throughout the entirety of the wedding day. She is incredibly professional, efficient, and communicative from before the time of booking, engagement photos, our wedding day, and after!

But arguably the most important... the photos!! My husband and I were blown away when we received our sneak peeks and then our online album. We would not be happier with how our entire day was captured from beginning to end. Sam's attention to detail is simply unmatched. Her photos are absolutely timeless, and Sam is a vendor that we would choose time and time again!

My husband and I do not have enough positive things to say about our experience with Samantha James! Sam is professional and experienced, while also so warm and fun to work with. Sam took the time to get to know us and our vision for our wedding day, beyond just the pictures. While we ended up meeting with her for the first time at our rehearsal dinner, it felt like we had known her for much longer. Our rehearsal dinner pictures and wedding pictures are perfect! We have received so many compliments from friends & family. She captured our day in an even more beautiful way than we could have imagined! Photography is certainly an investment, but Samantha James is worth every cent!
