Your wedding is a story, layered with quiet beauty, anticipation, and moments both grand and intimate. I move gently between guiding you and letting each moment unfold naturally, capturing the laughter, the glances, and the iconic moments like sunset silhouettes or a sparkling exit beneath the night sky.
You’ll feel seen, cared for, and free to be fully present, knowing every fleeting moment is preserved with intention and artistry. Before the day becomes a distant memory, you’ll leave not only with photographs to display and share with loved ones, but with heirlooms that carry the rhythm and soul of your wedding for generations to come.

Love Notes
"Sam was an absolute joy to work with! We had scoured the area for photographers and when we came across Sam’s page we thought it might be too good to be true. Her prices are a fraction of what every other photographer charges, yet Sam will also include many additional services like a Second photographer and a separate private session! She is the kindest vendor I have ever had the honor of working with and she is just bursting with talent! She got us magazine worthy photos within the week of our wedding and we are just so thankful!! I cannot recommend her enough!"

02. what is your photography style?
01. how far do you book out?
01. how far do you book out?
Most couples book 8–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to give each couple my full attention, so once your date is set, I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later. If your wedding is coming up quickly, still inquire because I may have availability.
02. what is your photography style?
The way I take photographs leans more cinematic and documentary. Which means I treat your day like a story unfolding in real time. I’ll gently guide you when needed (especially during portraits), but much of the day is captured as it naturally happens. The quiet glances, the deep breaths, the laughter you didn’t realize anyone noticed are the moments that get captured along with the grand ones you always dream about. My role is to observe, anticipate, and preserve your day honestly and artfully.
05. How many images will we receive?
Although each collection includes a promised minimum number of images, I deliver every meaningful and beautifully edited photograph from your day, which often means you receive more than anticipated. Your gallery is curated with great care, ensuring the moments that matter most are preserved while keeping the collection intentional and refined.
07. Do you offer film photography or super 8 video?
I love the realness and nostalgic feel of film and the imperfect, in-between moments that make a wedding story feel personal. I offer digital photography with options for film photography and Super-8-inpired video. If you're drawn to that vintage and nostalgic look too, we can make sure to incorporate that into your wedding day.
08. What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
We'll make the best of whatever the day brings. Overcasts skies, a little rain, and unexpected changes can all become part of your story. I'll help you work through backup plans when needed, and we'll focus on creating beautiful photographs without letting the weather take away from your experience.
09. Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! I photograph weddings throughout Greater Cincinnati and surrounding areas, including Northern Kentucky and Indianapolis. If your wedding is somewhere outside those areas, please still fill out my form, because I'd love for you to reach out to see if we're a good fit.
