Choosing Samantha Rice Photography was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read more From the very beginning, we knew Sam was exactly what we were looking for! Her work is timeless, elegant, and classic--exactly the style we envisioned for our wedding photos. One thing that stood out to us immediately was Sam's gift for capturing the small, in-between moments. You can tell she is genuinely passionate about photography, storytelling, and the people she works with. From our very first inquiry, she was so excited about our day. Her communication was exceptional. Leading up to the wedding, she was always open to discussing logistics, timelines, shot lists, and locations. She gave amazing insight on the schedule and photo planning, and we fully trusted her expertise. When planning our engagement session--which we had to reschedule due to rain and our crazy schedules--she worked so hard to accommodate us. Even when it started sprinkling during the shoot, she improvised and created beautiful moments on the spot. As we planned our wedding day timeline, Sam offered suggestions that truly made our day flow better and helped us get the best photos possible. She made us feel like our wedding was a priority and always made time for us. Any question we had--big or small--she answered promptly and kindly. On our wedding day, Sam was the calm but strong presence we didn't know we needed. She confidently led the day, kept us on track, and knew exactly where to go and what to do. We never felt stressed or unsure--Sam had everything under control. Our families and bridal party were amazed by how professional, organized, and friendly she and her team were. Traveling around the city with a large bridal party can get chaotic, but Sam handled it with complete ease. Our wedding photos are an absolute dream--better than anything we ever imagined! They capture the emotion, joy, beauty, and details of our day so perfectly that we feel transported right back into those moments every time we look at them. I have spent hours scrolling through them again and again because I simply can't stop! We've had so many guests tell us our photos look like they belong in a magazine. We were interested in taking late-night photos at the bar in our venue (since we were indoors and the city blocked golden hour), and Sam was instantly excited and on board. She always listened to our ideas and visions and did everything she could to make them happen. We received a sneak peek the very next day--which made us swoon--and our full gallery in less than two months, far sooner than expected. Throughout editing, Sam checked in with updates, which we appreciated so much. From meeting Sam to saying goodnight at the end of our reception, working with her was an incredible experience from start to finish. Choosing Samantha Rice Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We could not recommend her more. Thank you, Sam, for giving us photos we will cherish forever!!!

Booked a Boudoir photo session at their Pleasant Ridge/Ferndale location back in September 2014. I…read morewas doing the session as a gift for my fiance (now my husband) before our wedding in October. I was nervous to do it, but one of my best friends suggested and even encouraged me to do it. I thought on it for a week or two, then finally went for it. They offered a deal on Groupon, but when I called I was told they actually had a deal a little better than the Groupon offer. 2 outfit changes, 4x6 hardcover book with 20 images (edited), and I honestly can't even remember what the price was now. It was reasonable I do remember that much. I was also given the option to purchase the raw (unedited) photos from the session for $99.00. There were alot of images, so I spent the extra money since there were pics I liked that my husband didn't pick as part of his 20. Now driving there was a little bit of an issue. My GPS took me to the opposite side of Woodward - putting me directly across the street from the actual business. I figured it out though. So if you're heading here, here's what you need to know: heading South on Woodward, the building (2 story white building - kind of colonial looking) is on your right (West side of Woodward). It's on the same side as Rust Belt Market, but it's not quite that far down. I did my own hair, but opted to have my makeup done there. It was an additional charge for both services (if I'm not mistaken) but worth it. I loved my makeup, but hated my lashes. They looked great in the photos though. In person they just kind of looked like wild little spider legs. They were the "piece" kind - not the strips. Sorry...not a makeup person so I don't know proper terminology. I was offered a Mimosa while getting my makeup done, which was GREAT since I was super nervous. Being in front of a bunch of strangers - in lingerie - is a little nerve racking! The Mimosa took the edge off a little. One outfit was supposed to be shot upstairs, and the second outfit was supposed to be shot downstairs. When Kim (photographer) seen my outfit though, she wanted them both to be shot downstairs. I liked her ideas, so I was on board with it. I brought a pair of shoes with me, but they also had shoes in various sizes to choose from. I ended up wearing mine for one outfit, and a black pair of theirs for a second outfit. I wanna say the shoot was somewhere between 1 and 2 hrs long. They're were 2 photographers shooting at the same time. All the ladies there did a great job making me feel comfortable, and directing me through the poses. I'm not gonna pretend I wasn't a little uncomfortable - cause I was - but those ladies really were great. Throughout the shoot they would both show me some pics that they had got and I was definitely impressed. My favorite pics were the pinup ones they took, using various suitcases as props. I had brought a red plaid swimsuit from Pinup Girl Clothing with me and it went great - even though they were just suitcases. I loved those pics! I was told it would take 3-4 wks to receive my book once I submitted the 20 images I wanted to use. Well it actually ended up taking 2 months! I wasn't at all happy with the process and thought it was kind of scatterbrained, but once I reached out to the owner (Kim) I had a better understanding. I was happy I told her what was going on, and was able to get things resolved. The main problem was lack of communication - she wasn't even aware of the run around I was receiving from various people. The reason I took so long to write this review is because I just picked up my book last Friday. I had emailed one of the employees several times, but it never worked out. Either cause she didn't respond or I forgot to go pick it up. On my last email, I came to the assumption that maybe the lady I was emailing no longer worked there. So I forwarded the email to Kim and automatically got a response. Hooray! I drove out there to get my book, and was very happy with it. My husband was VERY happy with it as well. Would've been 5 stars had I not had such a long turn around on getting the book, but gave it more than 3 stars cause I really sympathized with Kim. She's great and so is her work. Ladies - consider this for your man if you wanna do something special that will really wow him. Trust me.
