My husband and I decided we wanted a small, very intentional elopement with our two kids on Madeline Island, WI 3 weeks after getting engaged. But we had no idea how to make that happen, where to start or how to capture the day. Luckily, we found Sam - she took the time to help us envision our dream day and we had everything planned in the first week. She made sure to push high quality vendors to us and also picked up our flowers on her way because everyone had closed for the season. Then the day of, she was there with us, capturing all the magical moments - from the serious, heartfelt to the giggles and pure joy to becoming a family! She even let us use her AirBnb to warm up and play a game which ended up being a wonderful, spontaneous addition to the day! Last of all, the pictures - you can tell Sam takes her photography seriously and we are so grateful for her creativity and eye for beautiful, scenic pictures while still capturing all our great moments. We can’t wait to get them on our walls! I highly recommend Sam for your big day events!"

Sam is by far the most talented and amazing photographer my now husband and I have worked with. She was so helpful even prior to my elopement day (as I got in contact with her over a year in advance 😊) and helped me with small details to make our day extra special. She is a true hype woman!! 🤩 Sam is also incredibly flexible as it was expected to and did rain earlier in the day and was great at communicating with us on how to adapt and make our photos still turn out amazing despite the weather ✨ Her humor, compassion, and expertise made working with her feel so natural. Every perfect detail of our day was captured in our photos which will allow us to remember our day forever. We could not be more grateful and amazed for how our photos turned out and for the chance to work with Sam. We hope to have another session with her one day. We love you!! 🥰"

We were so lucky to have Sam as our elopement photographer this past summer on the North Shore. Sam is professional, friendly, and talented. She did an awesome job balancing our more traditional ceremony with family and our desire for time to enjoy each other’s company doing things we love. From helping us with location ideas prior to our big day to being our cheerleader on the day of our elopement, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Our pictures are gorgeous and beyond what we were even hoping for!"

AMAZING!!!!! Sam did such an incredible job at capturing such an important moment in my life. From the zoom calls to in person, she made you feel like she was with you every step of the way. On our wedding day, she took the time to ask us if we were ready to move to the next location or take a couple more photos. She truly cares and understands how important this experience is. If you are looking for a photographer, she’s the one!!!"

Sam was perfect for our Madeline Island elopement! Our elopement was a bit more of a mini wedding and she stayed with us until we felt like we had every shot we could think of, meaning extra time she by no means needed to, and was great about getting us out of our shells! The prompts were great in getting natural laughs and smiles. The photos are stunning and capture the day beautifully. We’re so lucky to have found such a wonderful photographer, who puts the couple first and can really capture all the emotions we’re having on such a big day! We are so happy she was available to work with us!"

Samantha was an amazing photographer to work with.

The things my husband and I valued most about our experience with Sam:

1. Professionalism - Sam responded to all my my questions quickly and in detail. Even better, she predicted a lot of what I would be concerned about, and gave me information before I even had to ask. For example, she wrote up a whole plan for my elopement day.
2. Going above and beyond - Sam was able to meet my husband and I the day before our planned elopement to go over our locations and just get to know us. This allowed us to feel super comfortable the day of the event. She scouted out the locations we had in mind, and suggested another close by location that was gorgeous where we got some of my favorite shots.
3. Personality - Sam is just super fun! This allowed my husband and I to totally relax, and we got great candid shots. She somehow managed to be a friend who we were celebrating with as well as our photographer! Her combination of small directions paired with allowing us to be ourselves gave us stellar photos where our personalities showed!
4. Thinking of everything - The day of our elopement Sam brought good tunes, water, snacks, and more to make sure our day was fun and went smoothly!"
