  • What was your favorite wedding photo? I love the ones that were really close up to our faces, and we had our faces together to keep warm... it was so cold outside! And I love one thats more of a candid shot of my husband helping me with my train down a hallway
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? He was VERY unobtrusive during the wedding ceremony... I completly forgot that he was there until we turned around and were walking down the aisle after the ceremony! The candids were great... got alot of good ones of the kids. Good creative portrait poses also!
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Engagement pictures, second photographer, copyrights of the pictures, disks, and coverage of the wedding ceremony and reception.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He was super friendly and personable! Definantly had a great time with him. He made it easy for us to be natural in our pictures!

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? There was a photo of my husband, Jimmy, and I after our wedding where Sam got a natural fun photo of Jimmy kissing my cheek and me laughing.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? He did great. Just let us be ourselves and be excited about our wedding. That is really important because it really shows in the pictures if you are relaxed and having a good time or not.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? He actually gave us our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures on a CD for us.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He was open for any ideas that we had and was very laid back but still did his job well. He is so fun and friendly so smiling natural for pictures was alot easier. Very personal and you can tell he loves what he does so he has a passion for getting good photos and making sure we are happy.

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? I loved the pictures where we took pictures with the State Trooper, when Chase picked me up over his shoulders, and when Chase was dipping me when we did the shoot of him in his Blues. I know i was only supposed to pick one but it's too hard.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Sam stood away from the crowd or blended in really well. He was always in a good spot when things were happening. Sam was also very polite if he wanted to do something and he let us have our input as well.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Sam did two photo shoots with us and gave us three CDs with all the pictures he took. The first shoot was of the wedding and reception and the next was of Chase in his Blues and me in my wedding dress.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? He was very polite and nice. He put in his input and we got ours too. Sam was close to the crowd when needed and off to the side when photographs called for it. He did a great job!

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? There were too many to have one favorite, but I love just about all of the pictures that have just my hubby and I in them :) Some of the very first ones he took after Jake saw me, were far above par. Sam was awesome at capturing the first several minutes of that moment.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? I thoroughly believe that Sam has a built in "stealth" mode. During the ceremony, I completely forgot he was there because he wasn't running all over the place distracting people from the ceremony. But then I saw the pictures from the ceremony and they were great candids; with a lot of variety.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Because we were on a limited budget, we could not afford to do anything fancy. But Sam made us feel like we had purchased the "Triple Platinum Package." He gave us lots of attention and had a meticulous eye to the detail of everything going into the shot. Our package included a disc of all our engagement and wedding shots; including some that he played with and made "extra special." His pictures were also posted on his website so our families could look at them :)
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Sam was with us every step of the way with the pictures. He got "down and dirty" in the grass and would even wedge himself at an odd angle in a door just so our picture would look amazing. He was personable with the family and gentle with the parents and grandparents. My aunt (who does photography as a hobby) even showed up to take a few of her own pictures and both she and Sam worked around each other for a few minutes. He was kind but stayed on task and was very focused. What a great guy!

  • What was your favorite wedding photo? There are so many amazing shots that Sam got of us on our wedding day! Some of my favorites include one of me by myself, looking up at the camera, one of my husband and I kissing underneath my veil, and several of us next to a '54 Chevy, on train tracks, and near a brick building.
  • How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Sam's biggest concern was that we felt like our wedding day was completely about us, and that we were able to be comfortable with each other without feeling like he was always in our faces with the camera. He did this very well, and he was able to get some great action shots, as well as several beautiful portraits, by always being near us, yet not on top of us.
  • What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Our wedding photo package included a CD with all of our wedding shots on it, and if we so choose, we can order albums, framed shots, canvas-backed portraits, etc. from him at any time.
  • How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Sam is very sensitive to the needs and wants of everyone he is photographing. With grandparents, he took all of their shots at one time so that they didn't have to be getting up and moving around more than necessary. If I needed a drink or to sit down for a little bit, he was more than happy to pause or take pictures of others in the wedding party. With our flower girl and ring bearer, he was able to make them smile and look at the camera without scaring or intimidating them. He really was sensitive to every person in our family and wedding party. We honestly couldn't have chosen a better photographer.
