THE THINGS YOU PLANNED. AND EVERYTHING YOU DIDN’T.
Your best friend seeing you IN YOUR GOWN for the first time and completely losing it. Your dad straightening your jacket, then keeping his hand on your shoulder for just a second longer. The look across the room that only the two of you understand.
Your friends already at the bar while everyone else is still finding their seats. Your grandparents dancing. Your mom watching them from across the room. The kids running through cocktail hour like they own the place. The wind picking up your veil. The champagne that spilled. The flowers that got a little beat up.
Your favorite people in one place. The five minutes you snuck away together and realized, it’s real, we’re married. The people still on the dance floor when the shoes come off and the ties come loose.
That’s the good stuff. The things that made the day yours. The things worth paying attention to.
THAT’S WHAT I DOCUMENT
My approach starts with paying attention. To your people, the energy in the room, the light, and everything happening around you. I’ll give you space to experience the day as it happens, while making time for beautiful portraits when it feels right.
I’m always watching for the big moments and the smaller ones happening just outside of them. The things you planned, the things you didn’t, and the photographs that will bring you back to how it all felt.

‘‘I cannot put into words how grateful we are that we found Sam and chose him as our wedding photographer. If you’re wondering whether he’s the right choice, just take this as a sign to stop looking, stop stressing and book him. His photography style is timeless, he’s so patient and thoughtful when photographing, and most importantly a true joy to have by your side throughout the wedding day. ’’ - Annie Mae
FAQ
-
Couples who care deeply about their photographs, but don’t want their wedding to revolve around taking them. I love people who want to spend time with their friends and family, enjoy cocktail hour, stay a little longer at dinner, and actually be part of the celebration they planned.
You don’t need to know what to do in front of a camera. Come ready to enjoy your wedding and I’ll take care of the rest.

My approach starts with paying attention. To your people, the energy in the room, the light, and everything happening around you.
I give the day room to unfold naturally while making time for beautiful portraits when it feels right. I’ll offer direction when it’s helpful, but I never want photography to pull you away from experiencing your wedding.
-
Always. Every wedding is photographed on a mix of film and digital.
I work with 35mm and medium format throughout the day, choosing the format based on the moment, light, and feeling I’m after. Additional film coverage is available for couples who want film to play an even larger role in their gallery.
Super 8 is also available.

Absolutely. I’m based in Colorado and regularly photograph weddings throughout the mountains and beyond.
Whether you’re planning something in Aspen, New York, California, or somewhere entirely different, I’m happy to travel wherever the day takes us.

Start by reaching out through my contact page. I’ll send over my full collections and we can schedule a call to talk through what you’re planning.
If everything feels like a good fit, your date is officially reserved with a signed contract and 50% retainer. From there, we’ll stay in touch as the wedding gets closer and build coverage around the day you’re planning.
-
That’s completely normal. You don’t need to know what to do or how to pose. I’ll give you direction when it’s helpful and keep things simple, so you can focus on each other and enjoy the day.
Some of the best photographs happen when you forget about the camera altogether.
