We had the absolute best experience working with Samantha for our wedding. From our initial call, I could tell Sam was everything we were looking for - organized, professional, experienced, well priced, and clearly cares a lot about what she does - in addition, she is so upbeat and has a great personality so I knew she would be the person I wanted to spend basically the whole wedding day with. She communicated clearly throughout the planning phase and we had a great engagement shoot in Grand Rapids where she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera - she even got some adorable shots of our dog who is not easy to take pictures of! On the wedding day, she was on time and got started right away with some beautiful detail shots. Throughout the day, she kept us on track without rushing anything and exuded such great energy for us and our family. She also knew our venue (Aurora Cellars) so well and had so many ideas for photo backgrounds and poses. We appreciated how she gave us and our family members tips on posing and made sure to fix any stray hairs to ensure each photo was perfect. We received previews just days after the wedding and our full gallery in just a month and a half and are so impressed with her work. I would highly recommend Samantha as a wedding photographer!!

When you book your wedding photographer, you trust someone to capture the biggest day of your life and invite them to be a part of your day. I truly could not have imagined a more perfect person than Sam.
From our first conversation with her, my husband and I knew we had to book Sam for our wedding, so much so that we cancelled all the other calls we had lined up and booked her immediately. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and her kindness and authenticity comes through the phone.
For our engagement pictures, I let her know that we wanted to go to a Christmas tree farm. She found a location, talked to the vendor for us and came up with a bunch of ideas. Our engagement pictures turned out so cute and they were exactly what we wanted. Sam made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and she has such a fun personality that the time flew by, and I forgot that she was a stranger.
About 3 months out from the wedding, I last minute needed to find a new hair stylist and knew Sam would have me covered. I called Sam immediately for a recommendation, and she DELIVERED! She called a close friend of hers to make sure the dates work and totally saved me. In addition, we had a few phone calls and emails to go over the timeline for the day and ensure we were on the same page.
On the actual wedding day, Sam and the second shooter (Kristi) were perfect. They showed up on time and started looking around the property to scope out the best picture locations. There aren’t words to describe how incredible they were to work with, and our family and guests raved about how nice and professional they were. They helped us stay on time, but also made sure we took a few breaks to relax, have our time together and just enjoy the day. We recently got our entire album back and are completely blown away with the results. We get to relive our day through these photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives.
100/10 - cannot recommend enough. You NEED to book Sam for your wedding!

Where do I start! I have known Samantha for quite a few years and have always DREAMED of her being the one to capture my wedding day. Sam is hands down the best when it comes to photography in so many ways. She is so fun to work with and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is a professional with many years of experience as you can definitely tell from her work. When we look at our photos they come to life with the love and joy that surrounds us. Sam captured our memories for us that we will cherish for a lifetime.
We couldn’t be more happy to have Sam not only as a friend, but also having the opportunity to work with her on our special day.
