Looking for a Destination Wedding Photographer?

You’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE! Here is a little ‘Get to know me’ info. I promise, I’m totally cool. ;)

My name is Samantha. I like animals, pizza, reading, and long islands. I specialize in weddings and engagements - they’re my fave! I sing very loudly in the car - always. I’m a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. My favorite TV show is The Office, and I’m also a pretty big fan of Falling Skies. I geek out to historical documentaries, and I still laugh when watching Lilo & Stitch. I have been a wedding photographer in Michigan for the past 11 years, and I love our community. I live for traveling and photographing weddings (and elopements!) in new places.

My photos are bold and intimate. I don’t get too caught up in editing trends, but I like to keep my shooting style modern. If you wanna see some full galleries - I’ve got them! When you choose to hire me, there wont be any surprises. You’ll know what I’m all about. :)
