You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

I’m Sam, a wedding photographer known for thoughtful details, images that feel effortless, and a calm presence. I’ve been photographing weddings across the U.S. since 2011. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

Hello! I’m Hannah, a lifestyle and wedding photographer located in Central Ohio. A sucker for all things romantic, adventurous, and personal, I am here to convey those same things through your images. I have been on the other side of the camera for a period of time, and what I’ve learned is that you can’t “pose” the perfect image. A perfect image is created through raw moments, real laughter, authenticity, unique individuals, and a genuine experience. It is my job to deliver on that for every single couple, and I promise you I will!

Our approach is not just about taking pictures; it’s about capturing emotions, creating memories, and immortalizing the beauty of love in its purest form. We work closely with each couple to understand their unique vision, ensuring that every photograph reflects their personalities and the love they share.

This journey began for me in 2013 when I was asked to shoot a close friend's wedding after I bought my first professional camera. In 2016, I expanded my love of beauty by adding wedding and special event makeup to my list of services. Most of the people I work with are not used to being in front of the camera or do not wear a lot of makeup. That's where my over 10 years of experience comes in handy to make sure that you don't just look beautiful, you feel beautiful!
