about me

wedding photographer for virginia + beyond

A wedding and couples photographer serving VA, DC, MD + Beyond

I have always loved photography since I was young; and studying video production in college has only amplified that love into an outright passion. I have learned that I love to capture the emotion and the connection between people. I love capturing love, capturing the giggles, the snuggles, the kisses. Snatching it all into a frozen frame for you to enjoy later. I couldn't be more thankful that I get to tell love stories of all kinds for my career. And I cannot wait to tell yours.

hey there friend, i'm sam!

I'm  lucky enough that I found love at a young age and got to marry my absolutely incredible high school sweetheart in 2017. I know exactly how important a wedding day is and also how fast the day goes and how important it is to have your memories captured to be able to look back on for years to come. 
I love to capture weddings to see the sweet moments between two people who are ready to commit their lives to one another. I love seeing the twinkle in a newlywed's eye when they see their person in stunning wedding attire for the first time. Or the endearing look from mom or dad as they watch their child beam with joy. 

There are so many moments that occur throughout a wedding day that are so special and that deserve to be frozen in time. I'm here not only to be your wedding expert, but also to be sure to capture all the moments, even the ones you may not notice. This way you can enjoy your day to the fullest, and you'll be confident knowing that you'll be able to relive it every time you look at your photographs.

Can I tell you something ?
I'm a sucker for real, honest love.
The kind of love that feels like your favorite pair of sweatpants, or your favorite movie on a rainy day.
The kind of love that feels like home.
