I’m a Jersey girl who’s taken the scenic route—first to Upstate NY for work, then to Wilmington, NC in 2019. By day, I’m doing the corporate grind, but by night (and weekends, and any free moment I can find), I’m a wedding photographer, capturing love stories and making magic happen behind the camera. It's the perfect mix of 9-5 routine and creative chaos, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
I married my "build-anything" husband in 2017 and 2018 (yes, it’s a fun story—ask me about it!), and after 3 years of long-distance, we finally settled in NC, bought our first home, and are now raising our toddler with another baby on the way! We also have a goofy, snuggly old lady pup who keeps life interesting!
My style is earthy, laid-back, and filled with laughter. When I’m not shooting weddings, you’ll find me in sweats, scrolling through Netflix (usually landing on a cooking show), and hunting down the best pho and coffee shop in every city we visit. I smile big, love hard, and I absolutely cannot pump my own gas (it’s a Jersey thing!).
oh hiiii, I'm sammy!

"There is so much good to say about Sammy (and her husband and honorary second shooter, Liam). It’s like you're just hanging out with a friend who happens to be snapping photos of you as a couple. She has incredible talent and a unique style that is personal, authentic, and not over-touched. They are exactly the candid, "real" type of moments we were hoping for. She was the best decision we could have made. There is so much good to say about Sammy (and her husband and honorary second shooter, Liam).

You know when you meet someone and you instantly hope they are in your lives forever? Her and Liam are a dream. She pours her heart into the couples she works with and has an amazing energy that any nerves we felt were instantly gone. Everyone from our wedding loved her energy, she and Liam really felt like guests and caught all of our best moments. I cannot say enough great things – BOOK HER you will not regret it.

I don’t know where to begin with Sammy other than she is the greatest person that could accompany you on your wedding day! I hadn’t met her until the wedding day, and once me and my husband actually did meet her, it felt like we were already friends! That’s how comfortable and familiar it felt having her photograph us all day long. Her photos of the entire day were phenomenal. It was incredible to look back through them all and be able to keep them forever.

I love her style of photography! From our first meeting I knew we made the right choice. She's so fun and makes you feel so at ease! She was so helpful throughout the entire planning process (even though she had JUST had a baby, she still made time for us)! Boy did she deliver! She didn't miss anything. I also need to give a HUGE shoutout to her second shooter, and husband! Liam literally checked on me and my husband all night, and literally the life of the party! I could not recommend a better wedding photography duo than these two!!

Oh man where do I begin?! I google searched, scrolled for hours on social media, and used numerous wedding apps to find the perfect photographer! I always came back to Sammy! Not only does she and her wonderful husband capture beautiful images but they bring this caring, calming and FUN energy that others can’t touch! When we hired her I felt like I got so much more than a photographer, but a friend. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
