Sam Lauersdorf Photography

Q: Will you edit all our pictures?

Absolutely! Clicking the shutter button is only one part of the process. All final images will be edited for color, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful and reflect your day. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.

Q: Do you also offer video services?

We do! We have been doing photography for many years, and have always loved dabbling videography, so recently added that as a service. You can now book us for photo only, video only, or both together!

Q: How many pictures will we get?

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies greatly depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and day of variables.

Q: What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

In my 9 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 colleagues or another trusted industry professional.

Q: How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Q: Do you have insurance?

I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.

We spent a LONG time researching a photographer/videographer. We agreed that this is what was the most important for us as it was the thing we get to keep forever. The style right now is dark, moody, and blurry, which isn't our style. We found Sam's photography to be vibrant, crisp, and fun. We noticed she captures people as they are. She isn't going to edit out cellulite or fix your hair if it is out of place, but we knew that ahead of time. We met and she took our engagement pictures, which turned out stunning. She finished everything in a timely manner. On our wedding day, she took pictures as well as another photographer Marissa, and Sam's husband Cory was the videographer. They made an awesome team. Marissa directed more than Sam with moving pieces of hair or turning necklaces. We were glad she came. Sam and Cory would have been great, but adding Marissa made it the 10/10. Our videos and pictures, as well as a book and metal print were all done and in our possession in a timely manner with LOTS of great communication. I am obsessed with them.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Olivia! (And for including some photos in your review! 😍) We are so glad you felt Marissa, Cory and I worked seamlessly as a team! ❤️ I loved all the photos, videos, album and prints we were able to create for you! And of course, yes, if you need a stray hair or other item edited we can totally help with that, but true to life is definitely our style! 😜🥰

Working with Sam Lauersdorf Photography was truly amazing. From the day we spoke and booked them to the finalized photos and videos, their communication was easy, efficient and quick. Sam and her team were passionate, caring and respectful throughout the day, always ensuring they captured the moments we wanted. They gave great advice for both photos and video, and respected our wishes if we needed a break or didn't want to do something. We loved the high-quality work they created and appreciated the time they took to get the final products completed. If I had to get married again I would hire Sam and her team all over again. Truly amazing work and very talented. Thank you for capturing our big day Sam! Below is a drone picture that Sam was able to capture of our venue.

Sam was our photographer for our wedding and our engagement session. Our experience with her was all around excellent. Her communication was great, her delivery of photos was prompt and she captured all the right moments. She got to know us during our engagement session and it showed through her work that she cared about us as a couple and what our wants and needs were to make perfect memories of our big day. 10/10 reccomend

While searching for a photographer for our wedding, we found Sam. Her great approach to working with all her clients sold us on her services. After poring over photos on her website, we decided we would like to hire her for our special day. Sam was very easy to work with, and gave us great options. We highly recommend Sam for photographing your special events!
