The approach
Shoot the show. Tell the story.
Years of photographing artists, podcasts and community events around Nashville taught me to work fast in hard light and stay out of the way. Now I bring that to San Antonio's stages and event spaces: the performer mid-note, the crowd singing back, the host's speech, the toast, and the candid conversations that make an event feel like something.
My event work has been featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show, in Spring Hill Local and Neighbors of Franklin, and recognized with a 2025 Main Street Award.

Reviews
Kind words.
If I could give Snaps by Sammie a million stars, I totally would! From our very first phone consult, she's been my ultimate hype queen, cheering me on with every outfit choice and wedding detail. Her communication game? Unmatched. We just got our engagement photos back and we are obsessed. If you want a photographer who's not only insanely talented but also a total blast to work with, Sammie's your girl. Don't walk, run!
Sammie is the absolute best photographer! I'd never done a photo shoot but had one done for me and my husband's engagement and wedding. The photos were breathtaking and were done so quick. Sammie's enthusiastic, fun and kind personality paired with her amazing skills make her the best in the biz. Highly recommend!
We could not have found a better photographer for our engagement photos. Sammie is so personable and makes it feel like she's not taking photos of you. It just felt like my fiancé and I were hanging out with her. She was so great with my dog as well. I highly recommend choosing Sammie as your photographer.
Sammie is an amazing photographer, with such a sweet personality and encouragement. She helps so much with poses and making sure you feel your best self. So blessed to have hired Sammie!
Sammie is absolutely fantastic! She photographed our daughter's first birthday smash cake photos and was awesome. She made my daughter and me feel so comfortable and the pictures came out dreamy. Cannot speak highly enough of her and her photos. Thank you, Sammie!
Sammie did an amazing job of wrangling three busy kids and showed tons of patience towards us all. Her pictures turned out so well! We highly recommend her.
FAQ
Event questions.
Do you photograph concerts and live music in San Antonio?
Yes. Live shows, listening rooms, dance halls, festivals and private performances across San Antonio, New Braunfels, Gruene and the Hill Country, and back in Nashville. I'm comfortable in low light and tight stages.
How fast can we get photos for social media?
A highlight set for social is part of every event, and same-night delivery can be arranged for launches and shows that need to post immediately.
Can we use the photos for sponsors and marketing?
Yes. Event coverage includes commercial use so you, your sponsors and your venue can use the images for recaps, press and promotion.
How is event photography priced?
Hourly, half-day or full-day coverage, with multi-day events quoted separately. Send the date, venue, run of show and what you need delivered, and I'll reply with a clear quote.
Can we share the photos on social media?
Please do. Sharing your photos on social? I'd love a tag at @snapsbysammie so people know who's behind the camera.
