"...The first time I talked with Sam on the phone, she was energetic and genuinely interested in Joe and I; she wanted to know our story and what led us to soon-to-be marriage...We spent a decent amount of time going over the details, and on the day of our wedding, I have not one complaint! Sam and Matt captured our wedding in such a beautiful and perfect way. They were on top of all the things we had requested and were flexible with us throughout the day."

KIND WORDS

"Matt and Sam are kind, genuine, talented, gifted, intentional and wonderful photographers!"

"I first met Samantha and Matt when they photographed my sister's wedding. I was impressed not only by Samantha's gorgeous photography but also by how organized and efficient she was on the day of the wedding. When my husband and I got engaged, Samantha was the very first vendor we hired for our wedding!... Samantha and Matt make you feel comfortable during your photo sessions by helping you pose in positions that feel natural and by making you laugh...'m so grateful my sister introduced me to their work years ago, and we can't wait for future photos sessions of our growing family!"

"SAMANTHA AND MATT ARE EXTREMELY THOUGHTFUL AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THE WORK THEY DO AND WORTH EVERY PENNY."

"Samantha & Matt are exceptional photographers; truly talented, thoughtful, and professional. Our photographs were more than we could have ever imagined. Chad and I are playful and silly, but affectionate and mushy when we think no one is looking. They captured our love beautifully. Chad is painfully uncomfortable in front of any kind of audience or camera lens, but felt at ease with Sam & Matt's ideas and direction from the day we met. Sam 's presence is comforting and genuine. She knows her craft. She has great style and a warm heart. I loved having her around present while we all got ready the day of our wedding. We will always recommend Sam and Matt!"

"they captured our love beautifully!

"When I met her in person, I felt the connection immediately. She was so kind, bubbly and professional and I knew that I wanted her to be my photographer...On my wedding day it rained off and on and despite the unfavorable weather.... my pictures still turned out great! ...It was important that the person capturing my special day was easy to work with and I felt comfortable. I can't thank Sam and Matt enough for being our photographers!"

"WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE PERFECT PHOTOGRAPHER TEAM, IT'S SAM AND MATT!"

"Samantha and Matt are the absolute sweetest! They were very flexible with our crazy schedules and they were very communicative. Samantha is basically the only reason we were even remotely close to being on time for anything on our wedding day. She kept an eye on the time and ushered us from one thing to the next. She is very organized and her pictures are stunning! I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and Sam and Matt caught that in the pictures. They paid attention to details and captured all the pictures that I wanted and then some."

"they are a dream to work with and i would highly recommend them!"

"We could not have asked for a better duo to capture the special moments of our wedding, and the days leading up! They are both so kind and hilarious that we immediately felt at ease. Sam and Matt went above and beyond to take care of us! They are extremely organized, which was a blessing for this HIGHLY disorganized bride. The turnaround time felt almost instantaneous and their photos are gorgeous! We are going to treasure the candid moments that they captured and cannot thank them enough for being such a special part of our big day. I absolutely recommend them to any couple!"

We believe in treasuring each moment and living life to the fullest. Photography is our passion and we love telling stories of love. Whether it be the story of your wedding or your story after the wedding, We love documenting life and capturing moments.

Over the eight years that we have been photographing weddings together, we have found that the best experience for our clients can happen when we click with each other. Your wedding is such a special day and it's important to us that we have a connection!

When you're relaxed, you will be more yourself and that will allow for the most real and intimate images that you're going to cherish forever. We want you to be able to look back at your images years from now and remember exactly how you felt in that moment. We'd love to meet with you over coffee and see if we're a good fit!
