About Golden Hour Images
Golden Hour Images
Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.
Featured: The Today Show + People Magazine + Bridal Guide + Love Stories TV + CBS. I tell everyone the same thing: “The only right way to do a wedding is your way.” As a 2022 bride with over 10 years of experience in the wedding industry, I believe it's essential to find someone who aligns with your vision and brings you comfort. I provide timeline planning and vision support planning, and I am happy to help with design and site visits. I provide affirming and inclusive services to all love. Your experience is my #1 priority. I’ll be your ultimate hype-woman and celebrate what makes you uniquely you—LLC and insured.

The best photographer
Sam was one of the first vendors that my husband and I booked and I could not be more thankful that we found her. From the initial consultation call she was friendly, helpful, professional, and hilarious. Without even knowing if we would book with her, she gave us so many helpful tips for finding a photographer that would fit our needs (surprise, I already knew she was the perfect fit) and she actually put us in touch with a wedding planner who was our perfect match. From the engagement shoot to our wedding day, Sam exceeded all expectations. She helped us ease up in front of the camera, kept it quick, and always delivered the most beautiful results. Do yourself a favor and book the consultation call!!!
So Wonderful!
Samantha was incredible!! She worked well with us through the planning process and was amazingly helpful on the day-of the wedding. The pictures turned out stunning and we are so glad we decided to hire her for our wedding!!
Response from vendor•Sep 9, 2025Aw, thank you both so much for your kind words! It was such a joy to spend the day with you and your loved ones. You two absolutely owned the dance floor and embraced every moment, and I’m so grateful I got to be part of it all. Sending you endless love, growth, and a lifetime of cozy adventures together. ❤️We loved sam!
She was great! We loved both the engagement and wedding photos. She was also great with children. We had my husbands son in our engagement photos and she turned all the photo poses into games for him which was awesome

As the owner of LK Productions DJ Entertainment, I’m always looking for top-tier vendors to recommend to my clients, and Samantha Talarico of Golden Hour Images is definitely one of them. I had the pleasure of working with her at a recent wedding in Asheville, where she absolutely delivered. Samantha’s creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail were truly outstanding. She captured every special moment beautifully and made the entire process seamless for everyone involved. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer! Lorenzo
