There are not enough nice things I can say about Samantha. First, she is one of the sweetest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet! So kind and accommodating. Second, we had our wedding near Atlanta, and we took our engagement photos in Macon, GA (our alma mater - Mercer University), and Samantha did not charge a travel fee! This distinguished her from 99% of the photographers we were considering. Third, because we were long distance, Samantha was super responsive to our emails and phone calls and texts. She rarely left a message without responding for more than an hour or so. That was a breath of fresh air for sure! Fourth, on the day of the wedding, Samantha was professional and super calm. She even helped me calm my rowdy bridal party down when I was trying to have the last few moments to myself before I said “I do.” Lol! She got ALL of the shots I wanted, was super conscious on time, made sure I felt comfortable and beautiful, all while smiling the entire time!!!! Fifth, we booked a morning after shoot (I highly recommend this!!!!) for just my husband and I, and Samantha went above and beyond to capture some phenomenal shots at our rustic mill venue and the surrounding scenery. From climbing down steep stairs to braving the elements, Samantha was a super star and captured the most regal and editorial shots of my husband and I!!! I am a blogger and podcaster, so I wanted magazine-worthy shots, and Samantha did MORE than that. She created an experience. And she did it all with her sweet demeanor and smile. She is now stuck with us, and will be shooting all of our life events: pregnancy, family photos, vow renewals — THE WORKS! I am so in love with our sneak peek photos (that she got to us THE NEXT DAY!!!!) and I can’t wait to see the whole album. Samantha, you are a gem! You have truly found your calling, and we are blessed to know you.
