About Sam Copland Photo

Sam Copland Photo

Lead Photographer

You can call me Sam! After photographing 125+ weddings, I know what works, and what I can make work. I'm an all inclusive photographer that loves to travel. I've lived in 3 countries and traveled to 15! Please know I'm not shy of color, especially pink, but I love a good grainy black and white. From Black Tie Weddings to Tropical Elopements, Snowy mountains - I love it allllll. Consultation calls are a must for me! I want to see if you & I will be a good fit, I'm sure you'd like that too! This way I can get a vision for your day, be transparent about my packaging and pricing as well as answer any questions you may have!

Candids & Chemistry are my focus, I want to capture those authentic moments, those details no one notices. Versatile in all lighting & editing styles. Dark & Moody, Light & Airy, AND true to color. I'll be with you almost as much as your fiancé on your wedding day. I'm not there just to take the cutest photos of you EVER - I'm there to fluff your dress, hold your bouquet, and get you that speciality cocktail when you look thirsty! I love to stay in touch with your vendors through out the planning process so we are on the same page! I'm also prepared to adapt to any situation that comes my way. Divorced Parents? Me too. I got you

    Dream wedding captured forever!

    From the moment we found Sam Copland, we knew we had our wedding photographer. Her communication style is fast, reliable, and so friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of Sam's work is truly exceptional - her photos are detailed, creative, fun, and imaginative, capturing the beauty and spirit of our special day in the most stunning way. Sam arrived early and seamlessly fit into every big moment, while also beautifully documenting the small, intimate details that we will treasure forever. Looking back at our photos is like reliving our wedding all over again. She was beyond supportive throughout the wedding weekend, and we felt like we had a true friend by our side, which helped us be present for it all. We cannot recommend Sam Copland Photo enough - her work is amazing, and we are so grateful to have these stunning photos to remember our most special day.

    SAM IS THE BEST!!

    Sam is incredibly talented! We chose Sam not only because of her impressive portfolio but also because of her warm and friendly personality. Given the personal nature of weddings and engagements, we wanted a photographer who could connect with us and communicate wonderfully. She was fantastic at guiding us on how to pose - something we both felt a bit clueless about! On the wedding day, she was super prepared and organized; with 12 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids on each side, she skillfully captured a wide variety of shots. We even had the chance to take individual portraits with each member of our party. I'm excited to keep in touch with Sam for all my future photography needs and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

    Second Shooter

    I have worked with Sam on multiple occasions, second shooting for her at weddings. She is very personable, easy to get along with and she is great at communicating. Would love to second shoot for her again in the future.

In my 5 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my very talented associates. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers that I trust and love, so you can find the perfect replacement if you decide to go that route.
Heck ya I do! I usually have an associate do the filiming, while I photograph. But I'm always the one editing your video! Drone Footage & Content Creation are also additional add ons.
I sure do! I know how important it is to have! Most venues these days require a COI which I'm more than happy to provide! Just give me a heads up with the info required and I'll have it ready within 96 Hours.
I do not guarantee a maximum or minimum amount of photos. Why? Every wedding is different. Different Timelines, Traditions and Packages can have an effect on the number of images you receive! But you can expect to receive *WAY* too many to chose from!
Depending on how busy wedding season is, you can expect to receive your gallery within 6-9 Weeks after your wedding. I will always keep you posted with updates on the progress! Cause I know it ain't fun waiting
YEP! I have both. The majority of my packages DO come with both an assistant AND a second photographer. We are a team and I promise we will take care of you! Who doesn't love a couple extra hands to have the day run smoothly?
Yes!! And I love doing them because it gives us the chance to meet really get to know each other! It's also a great practice run for your fiancé if they aren't the picture type! I will make sure you're both comfortable and most importantly have fun
Firstly! I love that you're even considering me I require a $1000 non-refundable retainer to be paid and a contract to be signed. Once paid and signed, your date is saved on my calendar!
