"She made sure we felt natural, we didn’t feel awkward - nothing was forced, we had so much fun and the results were amazing!

If you could do anything on your wedding day, what would you do?
Have a once-in a lifetime adventure? A new, epic experience?
Cross a new place off your bucket list?
Do all your favorite things?
Wake up slow + cuddly, and end the night stargazing?
Let's dream up the best day ever
What's the sitch?
Seriously every single couple! Every couple you're seeing on my site and social media have told me the same thing. "Sam we're awkward!" "We're not photogenic!" "My fiancé hates getting their picture taken!"
No sweat though, I gotchu. I'm transparent when it comes to posing - I'll show you what to do and try to make you laugh. All photos are then intentionally culled so you get all the best ones.
Everyone says that.
Not comfortable in front of a camera?
My encouraging approach when guiding you through your photos helps you feel confident + cared for so that your memories are preserved without stress
What does eloping even look like?
so you've decided to elope, but
But I know by now you've realized that being free to do anything is starting to sound a little overwhelming.
You can intentionally create a unique day that feels right for you...so where do you even start?
I'm here to help! I want to be as much of a resource to you as you want - from picking locations, drafting a custom timeline, recommending vendors, navigating permits, and sending you my VIP planning guide - I would love to help you however I can.

"Sam is absolutely amazing to work with! She is thoughtful, she is open and receptive to ideas, and my fiancé and I felt so comfortable during our engagement photo shoot! She is great at communicating and listening to our vision, and our photos came out absolutely STUNNING!!
We have never had professional photos taken, and we were both nervous of feeling awkward but it immediately felt like we were old friends."
