Hi, I’m Sam!

Wedding, engagement, & elopement photographer & videographer currently based in Pittsburgh! I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community and began my photo journey shooting nature, macro, and flower photography. However, shooting my own engagement photos with my now wife opened my eyes to another passion: wedding & portrait photography!

What to Expect

  • Send an Inquiry!

    If you determine that we’d be a great fit and send an inquiry, we immediately set up a phone call to meet, chat all things wedding, and learn more about each other! Phone calls are a great way to solidify that bond and ensure that we’d be a great match. I answer any questions you may have, provide more details about what I offer, and learn more about your love story!

  • Time to Book!

    After you and your fiancé take the time to discuss your decision, send over an email saying you’d love to work together! I’ll jump for joy and then send over your contract to sign and invoice to review. A 35% retainer is due upon signing the contract to solidify your booking. Once everything is signed and the retainer is paid, you can take a breath knowing that you’re one step closer to making your dream wedding a reality!

  • Let's Plan!

    With every package, I offer planning and timeline assistance. I’m here for you so you no longer have to plan a wedding on your own! I have lots of resources to help you decide on an engagement session location, vendor recommendations, and much more! A month or so before your wedding, I’ll send you a Wedding Timeline Questionnaire to help me better understand your wedding day plans and create the best timeline for your day! I’ll send it over to you for review and make any changes you have!
