This isn’t ordinary wedding photography. It’s immersive storytelling         

         crafted with intention and meaning.

Welcome Friend

bold lover of a full dance floor, pda, & a dr. pepper on ice.

ok / tx based & shooting worldwide.

So glad you're here.

Here's what matters

When every moment in love feels more breathtaking than the one before, time seems to pass faster than ever. You deserve to hold onto this chapter of your life just as it truly was, down to the smallest detail and final second.

Of course, you want your photos to be magazine-worthy. But more than that, you want them to be true. 

My specialty lies in creating a true blend - images that are elevated, emotive, artistic, and breathtaking, while also being honest, heartfelt, and holding a lot of weight.

When you book me, you're choosing someone who will truly study your unique love story. My process is rooted in getting to know you, what makes your love special, your quirks, the highs and lows that brought you to this very moment. Every photo I take is created with your story in mind.

You’re shaping history. And the tapestry of your experiences, your background, your closest people, and your love deserves to be seen for what it is: irreplaceable. I’m here to capture it all - visually, truthfully, and artfully.

With a passion for the unposed, honest moments and a heart tuned into fleeting time, I travel the world to preserve this wild, indescribable thing we call love in a way that’s deeply and uniquely yours.

Love Notes

James + Victoria

You have to book her. I’m serious. She’s not just insanely talented, she gets it. Sam captured the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening in real time.

Nothing ever felt posed or stiff  either, it felt like spending time with a friend who is just along for the ride. She made us feel so comfortable and seen and somehow turned our real, everyday relationship into something that looks like art.

Just a photographer is not Sam to us, she’s a storyteller, artist, and someone we're excited to call a dear friend for life.

Alexander & Bea

We thought we were just getting a photographer - LOL. We got a full on hype woman, therapist, our own comedic director & an absolute magician for lack of a better term.

Neither of us are super comfortable with photos, but she made it feel like we were just hanging out. Boom, she sends us a gallery & we’re both crying & laughing because she captured everything. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like.

Just book her. Love me later.

Dave & Morgan

From the second we met our girl we felt like we were in the absolute best hands. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel instantly at ease & like you can just be yourself and she’ll find the beauty in it.

And somehow, without any pressure or awkwardness she gave us photos that looked how our day felt. Having the pictures of our closest people and like my grandma who won't be here for many more years, is just priceless.  We’ll be forever thankful!

ditching your usual order for a new item on the menu, or ordering a dress online is a perfectly acceptable 

leap of faith

But hiring a wedding photographer? Respectfully, absolutely not.

You need a sure thing.
