JOYFUL PHOTOS FOR HAPPY PEOPLE
I’ll make sure to check on you a few times through the year (we ain’t strangers anymore!) and I’ll send a detailed questionnaire three months before the wedding. This will help us iron out the photography details and I’ll work with your planner so we’re all on the same page. We’ll hop on a call a few weeks before the big day and finalize it.
prep and planning
I HIGHLY recommend an engagement shoot for a few reasons. It’s a chance for us to hang out and meet before your wedding day, it’s not just about the photos. We get to know each other and you’ll see how I do my thing behind the camera and get a feel for how I shoot and direct you. Feeling a little camera-shy? No worries, I gotchu! It's natural to feel a little bit nervous and awkward, trust me, by the end of it, you'll be rocking those pics like a pro!

Most couples spend on average $4,200 for their wedding. Every couple is unique so let’s craft something that fits you.
Instax photos are some of my favorite ways to capture memories. We used them as our wedding guest book and it was SO fun looking through the box to see what our friends did. Thank goodness we didn’t get anything Rated R and with our friends, that’s a surprise.
I’ve collected all different sizes of Instax cameras and I love bringing them along with me to sessions and weddings to really give you something to instantly walk away with. I hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me :)

Kayla + Jordan
"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.
Veronica + Ahren
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.
Kendall + Keith
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!!
Jasmine + Aaron
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!
Frequently Asked Questions
I always strive to get you a sneak peek of a few photos as soon as I can (I know you're anxious!). For a wedding, galleries are delivered within 8-10 weeks! During busy season, that can extend to 12 weeks. If I ever get them done sooner, you know I’ll be sending those over ASAP!
Absolutely. I want you to see how the entire day unfolds and how I capture it. This is a great way to see all parts of the day and if you resonate with the way I capture your day. I highly recommend it!
Heck yes! Once you book with me, I send you my wedding guide that breaks down the nitty gritty details of a wedding day. Things you might not think of that I’ve captured in one big guide. At the end of it, you’ll find recommendations for local vendors I’ve worked along side!
I don’t share RAW files. You book me for my style and I want to make sure you get the most perfect images. I won’t hold back on delivering photos in your gallery. Quality over quantity.
You’ll get an online downloadable gallery. You’ll be able to manage the gallery and send it out to friends and family to view and download. You can download web-sized and high-resolution images. I keep the gallery up for six months, so please make sure you download them as soon as you get the link.
I’m located in Wilmington, NC but I definitely travel to you for your wedding for an added fee depending on location! I’ll make sure to incorporate it (i.e. hotel, mileage, car, etc) into your proposal so there aren’t surprises.
ABSOLUTELY YES. I believe in love in all forms and don’t hesitate to capture you and the love of your life.
