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!
