the experIence
I’ll arrive on site 10-15 minutes prior to our contracted time to get the lay of the land, and then we’ll get you married!!
It's party time!
2-4 weeks out from your wedding, we will have a prep meeting! This is where we talk all about the nitty gritty of your day, and make sure both you and I are on the same page!
meeting prep
All you need to do is reach out in the season you want your session to take place, and we’ll find a date! Engagement sessions take place on weekday evenings and give us a chance to work together before the big day.
time for your engagement session!
Once you decide YES, I’m the one, all I need is a signed contract and a deposit to secure your date!
next, we make it offical!
Perfect! I’m so excited! The first step in booking is filling out a contact form right here on my website. After that, we’ll grab coffee (on me) or meet virtually to talk all about your wedding day vision.This is your chance to ask me anything and make sure I’m someone you want to hang out with all day at your wedding!

how this aLl works
"Oh my gosh, Sami blew us both away! In general, we’re both kind of awkward in front of the camera, but she made it feel SO natural. We both couldn’t stop talking about how awesome it was and how comfortable the whole session turned out to be. It almost didn’t even feel like we were being photographed! And the photos themselves - absolutely breathtaking! After seeing the way she captured me in those photos, honestly I feel beautiful again!"
client love & mentions
All sessions must be paid in full on the day of the session. For weddings, I will never leave in the middle of a big moment such as your first dance or the cake cutting! I do recommend that we go over the timeline in detail prior to the wedding and account for any extra time you may want (because lets face it, nobody wants to get out the check book and worry about payments on their wedding day).
Can I extend the session on the day of?
My bags are packed and I’m ready to go! Destination weddings always have a unique situation, and we will meet to discuss the best package options for you! My bucket list destinations qualify for steeply discounted rates, so shoot me a message and we can chat about your big day!
Do you shoot destination weddings and elopements?
I have packages that include a second shooter and ones that do not. For intimate gatherings, one photographer is plenty! I always offer the option to add on a second photographer if a couple is on a more restricted budget, but would value having a second shooter. Let’s talk about what works best for you!
Will there be a second shooter?
All images are delivered electronically. This allows you to share your own personal wedding link with family and friends, however you are the only one with the ability to download the images (via a PIN).
How can I get my photos from you?
I only deliver final edits. Please keep in mind that my editing helps future clients see how I work! Couples are unable to re-edit photos once delivered.
Can I have the unedited version of our photos?
PLEASE DO! I generally will send you 10-12 edited images as sneak peeks within 48-72 hours of the big day! I will also be sharing on my social platforms once you receive the images.
Can i share my photos right away?
I have a complete styling guide that I can send you to reference after you book! In general, it's best to coordinate, not match! Keep it to one pattern, and add some texture with hats, scarfs, and layers. My favorite colors to shoot are earthy tones! Overall, wear what you feel your very BEST in!
What should I wear to my session?
I'm here to help! I'm happy to provide local vendor recommendations upon request!
I need other vendors too!
