"Choose Sam"

This is so much more than showing up and delivering photos. I'm truly invested in getting to know you and your story. Every time I'm invited to document these intimate moments, it's an honor.

I keep it cool, calm, and collected under pressure—so no worries, I got you. I bring those same relaxed vibes to your wedding or session so you can feel confident and at ease.

At the end of the day, this is about you. I want to help you create an experience that feels authentic, and I want your photos to feel the same. No one story is the same, and I'm here to show you just how beautiful yours is.

what working with me looks like

A million times YESS!!! This is a safe space. No matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day or any other part of your life you'd like documented. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!

are you an inclusive photographer?

Honestly, same. Like 90% of my couples say this. Here's the secret—I don't do the weird prom poses. We'll walk around, I'll give you something to laugh about, tell you where to put your hands (because nobody knows what to do with their hands), and somehow you'll look like those couples on Pinterest who seem naturally photogenic. Still don't know how it works, but it does.

We're awkward af in photos...

We embrace it. Some of my favorite shots happened in absolute weather chaos. Rain makes everything romantic. Snow makes everything magical. Wind gives you that editorial hair moment. Plus, nobody else will have photos like yours.

What if it rains/snows/the weather is chaos?

This can vary depending on the package, type of coverage, and style of photographer, but most couples spend $4200 to $5500 on average for BC wedding photographers. 

how much does a BC & Alberta wedding photographer cost?

Based in Fernie but I come to you! Travel's included for most of BC & Alberta—Cranbrook, Kimberley, Calgary, Canmore, Banff, Golden, Invermere, Lethbridge. Want to elope in Iceland or get married in your backyard? Let's talk.

Do you travel?

All the good ones. Like, minimum 50 per hour but usually WAY more. I'm not one of those photographers who holds back to upsell you later. If it's good, you get it.

how many photos do we get?

Sneak peek within 72 hours (because I know you're dying to post something). Full gallery in 8-10 weeks, edited with love while I probably cry a little at your vows again.

when do we get our photos?

I shoot mostly digital but I've been playing around with film too. It just has this dreamy, nostalgic quality that's perfect for certain moments. So I'll shoot a roll or two throughout your day—think of it as a little bonus that adds some variety to your gallery. Plus you get polaroids to take home that day because instant gratification is fun.

What's this film thing about?
