    Captured our wedding perfectly!

    Samantha photographed my sister's wedding a few years ago (in a savage thunderstorm!) so I knew she would do an amazing job. An engagement shoot is included with your package which is awesome to make you feel comfortable with her and her style before your big day (esp. for photo reluctant significant others :) But when Covid impacted our plans I realized how lucky I was to have such an amazing team of vendors, Samantha included. She was incredibly flexible with our venue change and other changes and captured our day in such an amazing way. Even when she'd never been to a location she has a great eye for where to get the best shots and makes everyone feel comfortable during the shoot. Her and her assistant got shots of things we wouldn't have even thought of but are now so grateful to have. They even worked with our 2 dogs and were understanding that due to a shortened timeline, we wanted to be able to spend some time with family and not spend our whole evening doing pictures. I would highly recommend Samantha to put you at ease on your wedding day. What I love the most about our photos is that I can feel the genuine happiness of the day-nothing looks forced or stressed on our faces-I can't say enough about how grateful I am to Samantha for having captured this beautiful day! And she's doing our reception next year too so I can't wait to work with her again!

    Thank you for the sweet words!! I loved your wedding day so much and you guys are truly a pleasure to work with! Can't wait for 2021!!

    I found Samantha Martin on Facebook. Her photographs were so wonderful. It seemed like every moment she captured perfectly! So I knew I wanted her to photograph my wedding. We ended up doing an engagement shoot, bridal shoot, as well as my wedding. I came to rely on her judgement and it always paid off BIG TIME! Every time I reviewed my photos I was so overwhelmed with the result, and still am as I look back on them frequently! I could not have asked for someone who was easier to work with or more talented. Not only that but due to the fact that my husband and I are in the military we have hectic schedules This never deterred Samantha, she was always flexible. I could go on and on, but at the end of the day what will be left of your wedding will be the photos. You want someone to do it right and she will!

    The Perfect Photographer

    It’s truly hard to put into words how amazing Samantha and her assistant did! The photos are the one thing from our wedding that we get to keep and cherish forever, and they did a wonderful job! I cried looking through our photos, and it truly felt as if I was reliving our magical day!

    She’s extremely easy to communicate with. I sent her (a rather long) list of photos that I wanted to be taken, and she got all of them. This was a destination wedding, so all communication was over the phone and email. The way she conducts business took so much stress off us.

    She got our gallery to us super quick as well.

    If you’re looking for someone’s whose professional, communicative, easy to work with, and takes phenomenal photos seriously she is your girl!

    Samantha stole my heart from her initial email. She has this beautiful newsletter she sends you with tons of information about her, her family, and her business. She pays attention to details, appreciates the sentimental - which is so important to me, and wants you to be so happy with her product. We did the full wedding service including album from her. With this you receive an engagement session and our photos were absolutely amazing, truly captured our love and romance. The wedding pictures we have received so far are just stunning. The special touch of sending us a thank you box the week of our wedding was exactly what I needed as the stress of wedding day was coming.

    Exceptional

    Samantha was an amazing asset to our wedding and an incredibly accommodating person. She not only took gorgeous pictures and had them available to us in a timely manner, but she also made sure to remind us of everything we needed to set up for the big day. My husband and I can not recommend Samantha highly enough for anyone getting married in the DMV area!

    Samantha was amazing to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day. Samantha took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all our questions thoroughly. She helped fill in the gaps that we missed in the planning process and was instrumental in helping our day flow smoothly. She was flexible with scheduling our engagement shoot as weather was a factor and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On the day of, she even had a mini edited slideshow for us to view at the reception! We also got sneak peeks of the pictures the night of (amazing!) and had our gallery ready super fast! Also, her 2nd photographer that she brought was amazing as well- she was SO sweet and took some awesome pictures. Thank you so much for being a part of our day, Samantha!

    Samantha is an amazing photographer and so easy to work with! I personally love photo shoots, but my husband is on the camera shy side. After our engagement shoot he raved about how comfortable he felt during the shoot, and dare I say he might have even had a little fun! Our wedding day was no different. We had to work around some weather issues, but Samantha was so positive and flexible. We got amazing shots despite some not so amazing weather! Not to mention her editing time was quick and didn’t keep us in suspense too long :)I highly recommend working with her, you won’t regret it!

    We hired Samantha for our wedding and couldn’t be happier at the quality and professionalism she displayed throughout the entire process.
    We chose the ultimate package which included engagement photos, a bridal shoot, wedding day coverage, an album, and digital copies of the photos. She met with us twice to discuss what we were looking for. Not only did we get fantastic photos, but the candor and proficiency that she displayed during each shoot put my husband and me at ease. It was very easy to relax and have fun during our sessions with Samantha at the reins. She knew how to pose us and what lighting was the best. It really makes a difference to work with someone who is flexible and willing to adapt with what seemed like endless unforeseen wedding complications that arose.
    Punctual as always, Samantha was at our wedding early to scope out the scene and take pictures while we got ready. During our wedding she was very organized and got all of the shots that we had requested. She was very precise to capture moments that otherwise would have been missed. About 3 weeks after the wedding, she posted the photos online in a beautifully organized album. All the photos are of superior quality and really capture the splendor and elegance of our wedding. It is wonderful to have so many pictures from our wedding to enjoy in our time to come and can’t thank Samantha enough for her hard work and tireless dedication. With Samantha you get quality AND a good price and you won’t have any regrets about the choice or how much you spent. She was undoubtedly the perfect choice for our wedding and the perfect person to work with over the course of 2 shoots and one fantastic day.
    Overall, we couldn’t be happier in our choice of photographer and we would recommend her to anyone looking to hire her for a wedding or in any other capacity.

    Sam was great to work with. We met a few times prior to our event to discuss specific shots and how the timeline would go so that things ran smoothly the day of. She was patient and easy going to our chaos of the day. Her turn around for our pictures was really fast and the pictures turned our GREAT!

    Loved our photos!

    Samantha and her second shooter did a great job capturing our wedding m day! She was easy to work with and made sure to photograph our special requests. She was a trooper and even kept shooting during our first look after she was stung by a bee! Samantha was quick to send us some sneak peeks to share right after the wedding.
