for your WEDDING DAY
"There is no one like Sam June. We know this because
(it felt like) we talked to
every wedding photographer on the planet
before finding her…
We fell in love with her warm, genuine spirit from our very first call! She took the time to get to know us and our story while simultaneously instilling confidence that she truly knew her stuff. We were bummed to find out that she was already booked on our wedding date but decided to move our wedding to another weekend just so we could work with her. When we got our wedding photos back, we were completely blown away. Sam June is truly an artist.”

Let’s ditch the “supposed to’s” of a wedding day + just be IN the day.
“I’ve been putting off writing this review because I knew I’d get emotional...
There are not enough good things I can say about Sam. She is SO MUCH MORE than just a photographer. From my very first video call, Sam made me feel completely comfortable. She just has a way about her that makes you feel like everything is going to be okay no matter what. She worked with us to create a schedule that took advantage of every minute of her time so we could get as many photos as possible. She is so chill and down to earth, she got along with everyone, and she was actually fun to have around all day. She even danced with us and our friends on the dance floor at the end of the night. We just received our preview photos this week, and I was floored by the photos Sam was able to capture. She works with the natural light and captures the beauty in every moment. She isn’t about posed photos, but instead finds real emotion. I can’t imagine what our wedding day would have been without her.”

“BOOK HER. BEST decision EVER!!!
Sam was the best person we could’ve had alongside us during our special day. Her business sense, efficiency, direction, artistic vision, and her impeccable energy - 1000/10. She did my complex French bustle on my dress, dealt with funky family dynamics, kept us on time, was practically a wedding planner, and did everything with the highest level of detail and intent. Her communication leading up to the wedding was a game changer. We had a coordinator but Sam ultimately is the one who came up with the complex schedule that we ended up using. She felt like a true friend the entire day and night. I HATE pictures of myself and being in front of the camera but I’ve never felt more comfortable than I was with Sam. I could write a book about my experience with Sam. I am convinced she is the best photographer and woman in the world. Don’t second guess booking her for even a second!!!!”
My approach is centered on HELPING YOU FEEL AT EASE
capturing who you are when you’re alone together, and turning awkwardness into fun experience. Through cinematic, earthy, moody, and romantic imagery, let’s create natural images that highlight your connection.

“Sam was the first vendor we booked...
Throughout the entire planning process she was a guiding light, helping us with the timeline and prioritizing how we wanted the day to feel. On the day itself, she kept everything on even ahead of schedule and worked expertly around the rain! She kept me calm, protected my space, and allowed us to be fully present with our people. There was no painful posing or forced smiles, only genuine joy and captured experience. Sam is worth her weight in GOLD. One month later, people are still telling me how much they loved her. If you can get Sam, book her and don’t look back. I truly could not have imagined our wedding day without her!”

“Sam is the type of person you instantly feel comfortable with...
Sam is the type of person who will email you to check in and reassure you the day before your wedding because she sees the weather forecast and she KNOWS you’ve been obsessively checking (spoiler alert: it rained, and we ran around in the mud and didn’t even care). She is the type of person who will wrap you in a big hug when she sees you that morning and you instantly feel calmer than you did before she got there. She is the type of person who will climb through any terrain to get the best angle for a photo. She is the type of person who will make your friends and family feel comfortable behind the camera, will handle rowdy guests with ease and humor, and will be by your side all day hyping you up. She is the type of person who will be breaking it down on the dance floor with you while also managing to get SO MANY PHOTOS. She’s the type of person who will have you crying while writing your review, because you feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her. ”

“Best decision of our wedding day...
When my husband and I first saw her website we immediately knew we wanted her to capture our day. Even knowing the quality of her work we were blown away by the teaser photos we received! But hiring Sam ended up being the best decision we made for our wedding for even more reasons. She helped keep us on schedule the whole day and helped communicate with other vendors and, more importantly, was a true beacon of fun, kindness, and joy. She made us and our family laugh, she danced with our friends on the dance floor, and she immediately put me and my husband at ease. By the time we had to say goodbye it felt like we had spent the day with a (talented and well-organized) friend. Thank you Sam for helping make our day even more special!”
