Sam shot my wedding back in 2011. I could not have been happier with the experience. From the start, he was good with communication and laid out exactly what I should expect from the day and what he needed from me beforehand (I can say from experience with friends' weddings that this is not always the case, and the outcome is a whole bunch of "I wish I had thought of___" moments).
On the wedding day, he was on time and actually helped me and my sisters stay on track so I wasn't late walking down the aisle- a feat that's impressive by any standards! He was discreet and had a lot of creative and beautiful ideas for our portraits. My favorite aspect of his work was the ability to catch those fly on the wall moments, as my husband really hates having his photo taken. As for professionalism, I know for a fact that on the day of our wedding he was dealing with a family tragedy. No, he never once indicated this to anyone- it was a mutual friend who much later told me about it. I was shocked, as he never checked his phone, seemed out of sorts, or was anything but friendly and professional. The only time he checked his watch was to make sure we were running on time and weren't going to throw off timing for dinner.
My pictures were quickly received, and I LOVE the book he made for us. I was living overseas at the time, which made communication tricky, but he was totally patient and thorough. I can't say enough about how happy I am that he was the photographer for our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone and will for sure use him for future events. read more
