    Sam was perfect!

    Sam was our photographer for our wedding. She is incredibly talented and wonderful with our guests. She gave immaculate direction for posing (which we needed). All of our family and friends are still raving about Sam. The photos are jaw-dropping. I am so grateful and elated that Sam was our photographer.

    Sam is an Incredible Artist and Human Being!

    My husband and I hired Sam as our wedding/engagement photographer and she was absolutely amazing! Not only were her photographs gorgeous, timeless and classy, she delivered them quickly and was such a joy to work with. Her personality kept us calm and peaceful the entire day and we felt so fortunate to have her by our side. Sam is incredibly organized, creative and personable. She beautifully captured all of our precious moments and all of our wedding guests loved her too. Sam goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed! :)

    Engagement + Wedding Photographer - Truly amazing!

    Sam is the best! When I told her I wanted to do a desert shot for my engagement shoot, she was able to immediately suggest a location. And the shots came out super cool! Fast forward to our wedding day, Sam captured every moment of our wedding! This was critical for us, as we opted out of getting a videographer, but we really didn't need it! When I saw our photo gallery, I was reliving the wedding day each step of the way. Sam's super professional, organize, creative, and easy to work with. I will book her for my maternity shoot!

    Beyond happy with our photos!!

    Working with Samantha was an absolute dream! From the first Facebook message to the most recent correspondence we had has been nothing but perfect. Samantha was quick, responsive and SO helpful with my photography timeline. Also not to mention, she's the sweetest most genuine person to have a conversation with. I've shot with a small handful of photographers and I'll tell you, none of them were as professional, attentive and particular as her! We've only received our 'sneak peeks' from her and I'm BLOWN AWAY! If these are the sneak peeks, I cannot wait to see the rest! These photos belong in magazines
    Samantha, I am beyond grateful that Jamie and I had the opportunity to meet and work with you. Your work speaks for itself and I could not have chosen a better person to portray mine and Jamie's love. I constantly find myself looking through your website and Instagram looking at all the amazing shots you've taken. You have such talent!
    I cannot wait to show the rest of our photos with our friends and family! TY TY TY

    UPDATE: the rest of our gallery is AMAZING! I want to print every single photo and make it into wall paper or something extremely extra lol So proud of how everything came out. #inlove

    Sam is Spectacular!

    Sam has the absolute most perfect chemistry you want when booking a photographer. She is genuinely enthusiastic about every single shot she takes and her shots are breathtaking. Speaking of shots, Sam worked closely with us to meticulously pre-plan out a ton of wedding shots weeks before our wedding, each of which came out beautifully natural. But on top of that, Sam is insanely flexible. On our wedding day, we actually were ahead of schedule during our wedding shots and were able to capture a ton of off-the-cuff shots taking advantage of the magical lighting that our venue offered. Speaking of venue, a few weeks before our wedding, Sam walked the venue with us and pointed out a ton of amazing spots including our spectacular first look photo. She's detailed oriented, organized and a true professional in every sense of the world. But most of all, she's genuinely passionate about getting the best for her clients. At the start of all this, we hired a vendor (who did an amazing job), but ended with a friend. Thank you so much Sam for being a part of our day and capturing such beautiful moments for us.

    Samantha is an exceptional photographer!! She made my engagement photos look INCREDIBLE and our wedding pictures look absolutely magical. Our pictures are better than we could have imagined!

She helped me into my wedding dress bustled it for me and took my wedding shoes off all with a smile on her face!! There is no one like her! Her work is absolutely amazing!

    Best Photographer EVER!

    Oh my gosh - Samantha is AMAZING! I wish I could just upload all of the photos she took because every single picture is amazing. From the moment we met her, we instantly knew we wanted her to be our photographer. She is so sweet and so insanely talented. One of my bridesmaids mentioned how much she loved the time that Samantha took to make sure every picture was perfect, and everyone looks incredible in every picture. No one looks stiff or staged or uncomfortable, and I love that you can see all of the personalities shining through. I also love that she was encouraging and enjoying all of the nerdy little things we wanted to do, and she highlighted every single things that was important to us. We are going to cherish these gorgeous memories for so many years to come! And everyone who had a chance to talk to Samantha absolutely loved her. I'm pretty sure my parents tried to adopt her at some point (and might still be trying? No one tell them that's not how it works!), but I also love that my mom actually asked me if she took any pictures during the ceremony because apparently my mom never saw or heard Samantha during the ceremony. So she's not only an amazing photographer, but also a camera ninja! I feel like there's a million more nice things I could say, but just do yourself a favor and contact Samantha to see for yourself!

    Gorgeous Photographs!

    Samantha was our wedding photographer & we absolutely loved her work! Firstly, Samantha is SUCH a sweetheart & super down to earth. I knew right away I wanted to work with her because I felt so comfortable around her and genuinely liked her as a person. So, as a result of that and naturally, It was such an ease to work with her and you could easily tell how comfortable we (and everyone she photographed) were just through how natural and comfortable we looked in the photos.

    I would say her photography style is photojournalistic so she really captures "in the moment and candids" beautifully.

    She did such a phenomenal job at capturing the essence of our day. All of the photos just express so much of everyone's true emotions--which was lots of love, laughter, and happiness. I had such a huge smile on my face and was laughing so much just going through all the photos when I first saw them because it was like reliving the special day. :)

    She and her second shooter, Grace, were very professional and totally blended in with the wedding/crowd. I honestly didn't even realize she was taking photos until I had seen some of the ones she captured that I had no idea she did.

    We also ordered an heirloom photo album from her!!! omgggg, it is GORGEOUS!! and it was super easy to work with her on it as well, and she made it so quickly--and just in time for Christmas (because my husband and I ordered albums for our parents for Christmas presents as well).

    The quality of her work is really beautiful--her photos definitely have a timeless, elegant, and romantic feel. We absolutely loooooove our wedding photos

    Where do I even begin? I fell in love with Samantha's work as soon as I visited her website, and after having her recommended to me by a friend, the deal was sealed. Working with Samantha for my wedding felt like being with an old friend. She exudes warmth and kindness and she is exceptionally talented. My fiance' and I both felt like she understood the essence of our relationship and she was able to capture that effortlessly on camera. Samantha truly has an eye for those beautiful in-between moments that are often lost in the bustle of a wedding day, and I could not be more delighted with our photos. She made us feel so incredibly special on our wedding day, and I am so glad we found her.

    My now husband and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding in April of this year and my husband found her via yelp. We fell in love with her style- a very romantic style which was exactly what we were looking for.

    She was very accommodating of our work schedule and made herself available to meet with us in the evening after work. The meeting was great because she really made an effort to get to know us and we got to know more about her and her work.

    We had Samantha do our engagement photos and our wedding photos as well. We heard so many compliments on our photos.

    Samantha is very detailed oriented, which we really appreciated.

    We had very specific requests of what we wanted her to capture on our wedding day and she captured them all.

    She checked in prior to our wedding to make sure of all the details. Arrived on time the day of and was just really easy to work with!

    I love her user friendly website she uses for payments, contract, and for all the photos. So organized! Love it!

    Thank you for capturing our beautiful day!

    Highly recommend!

    Samantha is amazing! She was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding! A good friend who had her as her photographer for her wedding recommended us to her. She showed us an image that Samantha captured & we fell in love with her work. When we met up, she was very professional & easy to talk to. She asked about our details for the wedding. When we said it was for Halloween & we wanted a dark yet classy look, she was thrilled since it was what she is into as well. Nevertheless, she is still able to capture glamorous portraits as we were able to see her work displayed in her office. She has an amazing way of depicting the love that's in the atmosphere for the night. Everyone who has seen the pictures from our wedding are so mesmerized & get a sense of the energy felt that night. I'm so happy how everything turned out & how wonderful she was to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her!

    Working with Samantha was amazing. She had such a way of capturing the exact feel we wanted from our photos and made taking pictures so comfortable. She’s very professional and still makes the experience feel casual. It was a great experience and would love to work with her again.

    I gotta say, Samantha is an absolute dream to work with!!!! She is every brides dream! The photos she takes are just absolutely beautiful! I fell in love with her work from the very beginning and had no doubt I would love my wedding photos. I promise you will not regret hiring her! I hired her as my wedding photographer on August 27, 2017. I know, i'm soo behind on writing this :(. First impression of her was her website which is sooo informational and helpful in understanding her packages and it literally answered all of my initial questions. It's straight to the point and honest. Which I loved! As a bride, we all have to do our homework and make sure we choose a great photographer, as photos are all that we're left with when everything is said and done. I'm so thankful we found her! From our very first meeting with her, to our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she has been nothing but incredibly sweet, professional, friendly, attentive to details, has a great eye for beautiful shots, very personable and responsive. If you're reading this, look no further, you have found the best photographer at a very reasonably affordable price.
    Working with her was so easy and fun! Felt like we had been friends with her for years! I love that before every pose she would pay attention to all details and adjust if needed. Like fix my hair if I had a fly away or straighten my necklace if it was crooked. All the little things that matter when looking back on your memories. Heck, she even gave us a ride back to our hotel when we accidentally got left behind at our venue at the end of our wedding day lol! I can go on for days about how awesome she was to work with but her work speaks for itself. Thank you again Samantha for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!! You are my photographer for life! Can't wait to work with you again! :-)

    Samantha photographed my wedding two weeks ago and I can not recommend her enough. She is an absolute dream to work with. She remains cool and calm during what can typically be a stressful time. She has an amazing eye and is extremely professional and super fun at the same time. She and her lovely assistant, Toni, never felt as though they were in the way or hindering any of the guests experiences while trying to get the perfect shot. Samantha is a true gem and you will not be disappointed!!!

    This review is long over due, but I fell in love with how Samantha takes her pictures. She has such an amazing eye for catching the unseen and not so obvious shots. My fiance and I had a blast working with her, she made us feel relaxed and carefree for our pictures. All of our engagement pictures turned out looking incredible and so unique to our own style. If you want fun relaxed pictures of your engagement then book Samantha because she is absolutely fantastic at photography!

    I cannot possibly talk up Samantha Turchin enough, let me tell you. She shot engagement and wedding-day photos for my wife and me and we couldn't be more grateful for her sensibilities as an artist and a professional, but above all her genuine and absolutely natural way of just being good people. I would 100% trust her again to document other important events in our lives.

    It's been over a year since she shot our wedding and she's still helping us out with photos, planning albums, which I have to say is excellent service. She's excited, and super willing to help make her customers happy. Seriously, don't waste your time somewhere else.

    Samantha - thank you so so much!

    Sam photographed our wedding in August 2016, as well as did our engagement shoot earlier that year. I would highly recommend her for many, many reasons. There were two major things that jumped out at me right away from her website when I was doing my initial research. The first was the style of the photos she takes. They really stand out from so many other photographers. While I don't think I can do her justice by describing her style, visually it was just what I was looking for. And then second, the amount of information she give on her website was the most impressive thing ever. This really showed me how organized and professional she was, which was really important to me when I was looking for wedding vendors. And once my husband and I met her in person, we were even more sure she was exactly who we wanted. Her personality is so nice and fun and down to earth and cool and calm while also in charge and confident. It was the perfect combo of someone who was cool to hang out with but also experienced and professional. And this just made our engagement shoot and wedding so great, she was an absolute dream to work with. She was on time (and stayed until the very end), flexible, helpful, so easy to work with, and our photos are beautiful. And might I say, such a great price, and what you get for that price is amazing!

    Oh, some advice for engaged couples...I didn't realize how important engagement photos would be for teaching you about poses you like and maybe more importantly, don't like. My fiancé and I learned a lot, which I didn't expect. I always thought it was more just a fun thing to do so you can get some extra pics, but it was so much more! Do them!! And also, try as many different poses as you can - learn and practice!

    Samantha is heaven sent! I felt so close to her and bonded right away through the messages we were sending each other before I even met her face to face. I had a very rough year last year due to a diagnosis of cancer and Samantha went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate my needs. She is truly amazing and is beyond professional. We needed engagement photos to be taken for our upcoming wedding and She recommended an amazing place for the shoot. The day we finally met up was highly anticipated to say the least and it exceeded every expectation I had. She had the most creative ideas during the shoot, very friendly and funny that it felt like I was doing a shoot with a long time friend, and she just made us so comfortable with the whole process. Once we saw the pictures from the shoot I was totally floored. The pictures came out so beautiful that some of them looks like it was taken from a fairytale book. All my friends and family are in love with the photos. I really wish I did not pay my wedding photographers in full yet because I want Samantha more than anything to do our wedding pictures. I love her. Her price is amazing. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don't want her to be so popular that I won't be able to book with her anymore. I am already 100% certain that she will be the only photographer we'll use now and in the future for everything. We love her so much that we already have her scheduled to do our maternity shoot since we found out I'm also pregnant. You cannot go wrong with Samantha, trust me it's probably the best decision you will make if you hire her.

    The short version is: you need Samantha for your wedding photography.
    The longer version: we hired Samantha to photograph our wedding based on the artistic, photo-journalist style that her photos had, which was exactly what we were looking for to capture the spirit and atmosphere of our wedding day. We were living abroad at the time but Samantha was so helpful and communicative as we talked about what we were looking for in our wedding photos that we felt 100% confident we had made the right decision, long before we even met her.
    As the wedding approached she was attentive and careful to make sure she knew all the specific shots we wanted/needed. Outside of those (mainly family photos) we really wanted to give her free rein to take photos as she saw fit, though, which was honestly the best decision we could have made. She has such a fantastic eye for composition and framing; we love the photos that came out of it.
    We got the photos back about a week ago and they are just amazing. She has a masterful understanding of composition- family photos (how can they be interesting??) look like works of art. Seriously. Our first look and ceremony photos were close and intimate, the pictures of the guests at the reception were candid and real, the shots of the concert we had after the dinner were dark and atmospheric, the photos of the décor and food looked straight out of a magazine (but like one of the good magazines)… oh, and the night-time photos of the married couple (i.e. us) towards the end of the evening were just super dramatic – basically, Samantha got the perfect shot for every situation. You can tell she is a true creative, an artist.
    The shorter-than-the-long-version-but-longer-than-the-short-version-version: you still need Samantha for your wedding! As you lead up to the day you’ll feel completely secure that everything is being taken care of, and then a couple of months after the day you’ll get your photos back and feel like you’re back there all over agai

    My wedding was this past Saturday and Samantha was AMAZING!!!!

    We planned the entire wedding within a month and a half so we were super rushed right from the get go. I was stressed because I assumed all photographers would be completely booked on the day of my wedding. I emailed Samantha and she responded super fast. Not only that, but it sounded like an actual response that someone had written instead of the automatic replies that get sent out to inquiries. We set up a day to meet later that week or the following and we fell in love with her right away. She made you feel like you were already friends and so talking to her felt natural. That same night she emailed over a list of general pictures most couples want and we narrowed the list down to what we wanted.

    The day of the wedding she showed up even before me (the bride)! She brought an assistant, which she asked about a few days prior, and she was already working when I got there. She even applied her professionalism to how she dressed the day of the wedding (Samantha, if you're reading this then yes we noticed!). I don't know how she did it but she was a total ninja during the ceremony! I didn't see her at all even when she must've been right in the middle of the aisle.

    We were running behind so we weren't able to get as many portraits during the cocktail hour as we wanted so Samantha took us outside during the reception for a bit. The pictures she took were amazing! We (obviously) haven't gotten them yet but she showed us a couple of the shots from her camera and I CAN'T WAIT!

    I would DEFINITELY hire her again. We're going to keep in contact with her and go out soon to actually hang out! That's how awesome she is!

    She deserves a kajillion stars.

    Thank you!

    Sam is the best! She photographed our wedding in April 2016 as well as our engagement photos earlier last year. She immediately got us and our style, and we instantly clicked with her and knew she was the one. For people not comfortable with being the center of attention, she was perfect; she made us feel relaxed and injected a lot of humor into our shoots. In fact, our photo session post-ceremony was a nice breather in between the ceremony and reception!

    Of course, we loved her style too and her photos are beautiful. She was very flexible and communicative. Of course you can bring your own ideas, but she knows when to take control and take beautiful photos that you'll cherish in the future. It was the perfect mix of silly, personality-filled and beautiful, romantic photos. In short, we loved her and highly recommend her for your special day!

    This is a very overdue review. Sam was our photographer for our engagement photos and for our wedding back in October 2015 and I cannot stress how amazing Sam is! I am very nervous when it comes to photos; I feel like I don't photograph well. As soon as we met and she started shooting, I forgot about all that and was totally enjoying my day. Sam makes us feel really comfortable being in front of a camera and her work speaks for itself. I know this is true since 2 of our friends that attended our wedding booked Sam to be their photographer for their upcoming weddings! If that doesn't tell you anything then I don't know what will. She captures every moment so beautifully; every time I look back at my wedding photos, I get emotional. I cannot rave enough about how awesome and amazing of a person and photographer she is. Thank you Sam for being so wonderful! I will definitely be booking Sam for future events.

    I cannot say enough good things about Samantha Turchin. She photographed our wedding on 10/25/15, and after getting our photos back, I was literally moved to tears because they are so beautiful, and so perfectly captured the day. To top it off, Sam is such a pleasure to be around, which was important, because she was by my side the entire day. She was such a calming presence, so professional, and went above and beyond each step of the way.

    She is a talented and skillful photographer when it comes to her eye for detail combined with composition and color. I knew I wanted a documentary style aesthetic, but the photographers I was seeing that I liked were way out of my price range. Thank God I found Sam!! She knows how to take moments beyond the posed or expected shots and document the REAL emotions of the day, and she is beyond fair with her pricing for what she offers. Like other reviewers have said, she captures so much more than you realize she is seeing in the moment.

    Sam is also just incredibly hard working. She went far above and beyond, working 12 hours nonstop on our wedding day and delivering hundreds and hundreds of gorgeous photos. She was kind and welcoming from our first phone call and in person meeting. She went far beyond the realm of what many other photographers will do by actually coming to visit our venue since she hadn't been there before; and since the permissible locations were limited there, she helped us scout additional locations that better suited our desired aesthetic.

    Working with Sam was honestly just a dream. She is a true artist, passionate about providing compelling photos. I recommend her for any special event or phase of life you wish to capture.
