 Working with Sam

Wedding days are an incredible milestone in any couple’s journey, and I feel so fortunate to document that celebration of love! As a classically trained fine art photographer with a BFA in photo, my artistry is at the forefront of capturing your day. I pride myself on being very easy going and friendly, and I’ve been known to hit it off with wedding guests and parents alike. At the end of the day you want someone who is bringing good energy into the room, and I try to do that wherever work takes me.

And to give you a rapid fire picture of my life:

I’m a fan of cycle class, an icey aperol spritz, a *slightly* competitive game night with friends, traveling to new countries, finding the best coffee shops, developing film in the darkroom, busting a move on the dance floor (or grocery aisle, don’t judge me), stopping strangers on the street to pet their dogs, and executing the perfect parallel park during peak snow season.


FAQs

  • I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota near the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry at the Walker Sculpture Garden! However, I was born and raised in Madison, WI so I love when a wedding brings me back to Wisconsin!

  • Every wedding day is different! If you've booked a full day package, I’ll arrive and start photographing when you’re getting dressed, and head out shortly after the dancing starts. If you've booked an elopement or custom package, the timeline will be tailored to your day.

  • Please submit an inquiry through the site! From there I will follow up with you to discuss availability and answer any questions you might have. If you decide to book with me, a signed contract and 50% deposit is required to reserve the date.

  • A complimentary 15 image preview will be sent to you within 48 hours of your wedding day! Your full suite of images will be delivered within 40 days of your wedding on an online gallery, where you can easily download your photos and share with friends and family.

  • Yes, always. I bring a backup camera with my gear, and my main camera duplicates all of your photos to a second memory card during the day to create a backup. After the wedding your photos are backed up at my studio. I’ve never had an issue *knock on wood* but if life gets spicy on your day, I am prepared to handle it and deliver your photos as promised.

  • I do not, but I work closely with a couple other wonderful videographers who I would highly recommend! Please inquire further for their information.

Word On the Street

  • “I am so elated with the photos, you have no idea. Sam is an absolute magician and pure genius with her work.”

    Ashley Vinje ‘21

  • Sam was such a wonderful photographer! She was friendly and professional throughout the full experience. As a gay couple, we were looking for a photographer who knew how to photograph same sex couples and the end results of our final prints blew us out of the water! I received numerous compliments from coworkers, friends, and family about Sam's work!

    Bill VanBlaricom ‘22

  • “We felt all the emotions looking at these pictures. Sam, you have outdone yourself! These photos are sheer perfection. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for capturing our day so impeccably and beautifully.”

    Monique Malone Pearson ‘20

  • "Sam was so warm, so flexible, and so easy to be around that, after meeting with her, we couldn't imagine inviting anyone else to play this super important role in our celebration. On top of being a pleasure to work with before, during, and after the event, Sam produced gorgeous photographs that made us all look effortlessly chic. We'll treasure them forever!"

    Lauren Adamski ‘22

  • "Thank you so much again for your time, skills and wonderfulness! Blake and I - and our family & friends - love our photos. I definitely teared up looking at some of them where Sam perfectly captured all of the emotions of the day."
