You’re not just looking for photos — you’re looking for the feeling of your day, preserved. The way your love actually felt. The quiet in-betweens, the warmth, the tears that caught you off guard. You want photos that feel like you — honest, artful, and lived-in.
Here, the experience is rooted in connection and presence — giving you the space to be fully immersed in your day (because a wedding day is meant to be lived!) while I gently guide and quietly document what unfolds. Through a guided documentary approach, I blend subtle direction with honest storytelling to create imagery that carries the texture, emotion, and soul of your story — art that feels alive with meaning and deeply personal to you, the kind that lives on for years to come.
& beyond
I capture weddings for couples across Fernie, Cranbrook, Golden, Kimberley and throughout British Columbia.
Your wedding day isn’t about perfection—it’s about living fully in the love, the joy, and all the beautiful in-betweens. As someone who crafted a wedding that was deeply personal and true to each my own love story, I’ll be the first to encourage you to celebrate your love exactly how you envision it, with no expectations to fit a mold or follow a script.
Be free to make memories—not just a gallery of photos.
As your Fernie wedding photographer, I believe you deserve photos that reflect your vibe, whether it’s an intimate elopement or a soulful wedding. Photos that celebrate you at your most alive, not just your most perfectly posed and put together. Each session is crafted to be a true representation of you, seen through my creative lens.

"My husband and I had the most amazing experience with Sam! She is a natural with an amazing eye for detail, but most importantly made us feel so comfortable and relaxed as getting your photos taken isn't an everyday occurrence for us! And the photos were AMAZING and exactly what I wanted."
"go with Sam if you are wanting photos to look back on for a life time"
Planning your wedding or elopement in BC?
I happily serve couples in Fernie, Cranbrook, Kimberely, and beyond.
To me, photography is the most beautiful marriage of art and connection. It’s so much more than a job, and you are so much more than just another client in a gallery. Each client is close to my heart, and I can still remember details and vows and moments of every session I’ve had the privilege to witness. For a creative soul, it’s truly a dream come true to share these intimate, milestone moments and turn them into art that you can treasure forever.
