Your Elopement Should Prioritize You

After my partner proposed, we started planning a small wedding that only kept getting bigger, more expensive, and logistically harder. We wanted so bad to go adventure in a beautiful place but it got difficult and stressful to balance what we wanted with what we thought we had to do, and what our families wanted for us. I started chatting with the couples I was photographing, and every eloping couple said they were so glad they eloped and every couple that had planned a big wedding told me to run while I could. Between these conversations and a peak in family conflict, we pulled the trigger. We canceled everything, and took a step back. We talked about what we wanted, and planned the most epic day we could think of. Just the two of us, exploring new-to-us mountains, without stress. Epic views and wild adventures.

I’m here to help make sure your day is just as perfect for you and your person. Whether that means traveling far or staying close, driving to a viewpoint or hiking 10 miles, inviting guests or not! We’ll plan every detail prioritizing what you want.

Let Me Take Some Weight Off

Here’s some of the things I have “in my pack”, to make yours lighter and keep things running smoothly:

  • The ultimate “oh shit kit” full of pretty much everything we might need on your wedding day.
  • Microspikes, snowshoes, headlamps, extra camping gear, and a paddleboard.
  • Trail maps for where we are going and where we might end up!
  • An off-roading vehicle ready for an adventure. I can fit myself, the two of you, and two guests plus an insane amount of gear in this thing and we’ll still have a smooth ride.
  • DIY and fix-it skillz. From floral bouquets and boutonnieres to dress and shoe repairs.
  • A lot of random knowledge that may (or may not) come in handy, and a tendency to be over-prepared. For example, I’m pretty fluent in American Sign Language, I know pet first aid, and I travel a little too much.

My Point is:

I’m Prepared & Knowledgeable so you don’t have to Stress

Kind Words

Samantha is amazing, amazing, AMAZING!

She was so easy to work with and made the entire process enjoyable. We threw together a very quick elopement and saved “photographer” as one of our last to-do’s (because we’re insane, I guess). She was easy to communicate with, and made the sessions go so smoothly. She was professional and kind throughout. The resulting photo album speaks for itself! Sam- you are in the right business! Thank you a million times over for being part of our day!

If you are even considering hiring her, let this be your decision maker- do it. Because you will NOT be disappointed.

I started working with Sam last year, in planning my micro wedding in Colorado. From the beginning she was so enthusiastic about her job, took so much pride in her work and so thoughtful and knowledgeable as well. We just had our micro wedding a few days ago, and I am still getting comments from guests, about how well Samantha did. How kind, experienced and fun she is! She helped me through every process of planning my wedding, and I truly believe if it wasn’t for her the day would not have been as perfect as it was. My husband and I planned our Colorado wedding from South Carolina, all online, and Sam was so transparent and helpful. Not only was she our photographer, she grew to be an amazing friend. Hiring her was the best decision I could have made. She captured all the special moments and I got so many sneak peaks back I thought it was the full album! Working with Sam and having her photograph our special day was truly an honor. I cherish her so much.

Not only did she take spectacular photos of our elopement, she was such a HUGE help as well.

My now husband and I eloped without any family or friends. Sam was sympathetic to this and helped in so many ways. From something as little as helping me put on my necklace, fixing my shoe when it broke, to something as big as helping me get in my wedding dress. All the while she managed to take the most amazing photographs of our day. When we got our gallery I was blown away. I can’t imagine our photos coming out any better. She was receptive to what shots I wanted as well as getting shots we didn’t even know we needed! With my husband and I both being POC, I was afraid about how our skin tones would photograph, and I’m telling you, with Sam, that won’t be an issue. She used natural lighting and made us glow. She was the most important person for us that day and I’m so glad that I was able to put my trust in her.

Jay + Steven

Sam truly made us getting married 1000x easier and less stressful.

My husband and I booked Sam in a pinch when our engagement and wedding photographer went out of business suddenly. She is and will forever be a LIFESAVER. We booked her for our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. She is the most personal and professional individual.

Sam is very responsive and quick! Not to mention the quality of her work is gorgeous. Prior to booking her, I was concerned with how our photos would come out since we’re an interracial couple. Sam melted my worries away. She took the most beautiful photos of us. We will without a doubt book her again in the future.

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER STOP AND LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!

Sam is a QUEEN with her camera, and did the most amazing job of capturing our love on the best day of our lives!! She went above and beyond for us throughout this whole experience, with our engagement shoot, and helping us piece together our day of timeline. Her portfolio is spectacular, but her personality is even better! I truly loved having her around on my wedding day as she was such a calming helpful presence. Your photographer is your most important wedding vendor, and I promise you will not be disappointed with Sam!! Thanks again for capturing our love and laughter!
