Sam was amazing!! She captured our day perfectly, so good that sometimes I just sit and stare at our pictures! She also is just a great advocate that you want on your wedding day as far as putting the pictures you want above all else, because of this she made my day that much less stressful which is a huge deal on your special day!! I would recommend her a 10000x over to any bride or someone looking to get pictures done!

05. Do you have to lock in a package to book?
I think you should add a second shooter if you LOVE candids, LOVE different angles, want your cocktail hour covered (since i will most likely be doing family, wedding party, couples photos during that time), and of course the security of a backup photographer!
I shoot most of my weddings alone and am comfortable and confident doing so, but having a second shooter is great!
p.s. most brides get more photos back when hiring a second shooter

05. Do you have to lock in a package to book?
Absolutely! I am extremely comfortable working with clients of all experience levels in front of the camera! Most of my couples have limited to no experience getting their photos taken. I want you to just have fun and me think about the poses and prompts! Of course if you have any poses in mind, i'm happy to do those as well!

05. do you have to lock in a package to book?
Nope! A lot of photographers make you choose to book, but i know how stressful that decision can be so far away from your wedding day. When it's time to book me, all you need to agree to is that you will be booking at least the 6 hour package. You don't have to pick a wedding package until we make your photography timeline!

GET IN TOUCH
Because I care about giving my clients the best experience, I only take a select number of weddings a year.
My clients value photography/videography, family, friends, the quiet moments just as much as the grand ones, and trust the people they let into their day.
If that feels like you, fill out the form below and I'll get back to you within 48 hours by email.
Almost fully booked for 2026. Now booking 2027 weddings.
