Wedding Photographer

Sam was amazing!! He was creative even during the rain. He snapped many many pictures to make sure he got that ‘special’ moment on all of them. He went over and beyond the expectations. I would use him any special occasion.

The pandemic elopement photographer award goes to... SAM!

My husband and I decided to elope in Vermont between Christmas and New Year's at the end of last year, in part to be able to say that we got married in 2020 and in part to give our friends and family something positive to remember from the pandemic-ridden year. We didn't care for any typical wedding frills - we decided to get married 5 days before an already scheduled VT trip - but really wanted to have beautiful photos. I contacted about 15 photographers in VT, many of whom were either unavailable during the holidays, were reluctant to shoot an elopement of an out-of-state couple during a pandemic, or requested an exorbitant rate we could not afford. Sam was available, willing to travel to a location convenient for us, had a wonderful attitude over email, and charged a very reasonable rate. After an initial phone conversation, Sam sent a list of recommended locations, was constantly in touch via text, and was extremely flexible regarding possible wedding days, locations, hours, everything! We were in VT in December and had to navigate strange weather patterns and not knowing anything about our surroundings. We ended up meeting in a park my husband and I selected with a view of a lake and mountains. Sam took wonderfully candid shots of our vows, walk in the park, and then suggested traveling to a covered bridge nearby. He was friendly, funny, and we immediately felt comfortable in his presence. If we were to do it again, we would without a doubt book with Sam! Besides my mother and our dog, Sam was the only guest at our wedding and we loved that we connected so well with him. Thank you, Sam, for your flexibility, creative approach, and friendly demeanor!

Perfect destination wedding photographer

My husband and I were so lucky to have found Sam while trying to find photographers that would work in the Philadelphia area. Being based out of Minnesota and trying to plan everything states away over 4 months we were blown away by how helpful Sam was. He took the time to do some research beforehand and was able to capture our day perfectly. We have so enjoyed getting to share our experience with family through his photos. He made our kids comfortable, captured the spirit of our relationship and the entire day.
