bad jokes included at no extra cost. 

I'm a wedding photographer, but honestly I'll follow a good love story anywhere.

My approach is rooted in authenticity, creating images that feel natural, effortless, and unapologetically you. Think editorial meets laid-back. Nothing overly posed, nothing forced,. Just honest moments captured in a way that feels both timeliness and alive. 

work with me

Hey, I'm Samantha-

S

I am an Edmonton based wedding photographer with a love for documenting people exactly as they are. The loud laughs, the quiet tears, fleeting glances, and everything in between. My approach is equal parts documentary and editorial. I'll guide you when you need direction, step back when the moment deserves space, and create photographs that feel timeline long after the day is over. More then anything, I want you to be fully present. To Soak in every hug, every happy tear, every moment you've spent months planning for. While you're living it, I'll be preserving it.
Because at the end of the day, this isn't about perfect poses. It's about preserving the people, moments, and memories that matter most.

This  or that

This or that:

This is Oscar, my black lab love of my life, and the closet thing I have to a child. He's convinced he runs the house, has never met a blanket he didn't want to steal, and some how gets away with absolutely everything.

One.

Still Curious?

I'll never say no to brunch, airport days, or trying a new restaurant that's been sitting on my "must eat here" the the last six months.

Two.

My love language? Good food, great conversation and a Diet Coke that's extra crispy.

three.

I never need a reason to celebrate, Whether it's a spontaneous girls night, dancing in the kitchen, or binge watching reality tv. I am always here for a good time.

four.

I firmly believe some of life's best memories are made around a dinner table, on a dance floor, or while catching a flight somewhere.

five. 

You are a delight to work with! You are so creative, kind, funny and oh-so talented! You're able to take a vision and bring it to life. I was fortunate enough to work with you when my husband and I decided to do some wedding photos in our wedding attire, since our original wedding photos were disappointing. Your creativity for shoot ideas is incredible and being around your energy is infectious in the best way! 10/10 will  recommend to everyone!

I was referred to you by a mutual friend when I was looking for someone to take engagement photos for me and my husband. You were offering minis at the time, so we booked. There are always nerves when working with someone new, but you were nothing short of incredible. You made us feel comfortable and had us laughing while guiding us through poses. We left the session knowing you’d be our girl for the wedding—before even seeing the photos. And when we got them back, we were blown away. Our guests and wedding party all commented on how great you were to be around. You’re my go-to photographer forever.

You are so wonderful at what you do! You photographed our wedding in October and truly fit right in with our group—you made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. You’re not only incredibly skilled at photography, but also such a beautiful addition to such a special day. I’ll be recommending you to anyone looking for a wedding or special occasion photographer. Thank you for everything!

love notes from those who've been in front of my lens

Wherever you are, I'll meet you there

let's Go somewhere unforgettable

Your love story is unique, and your photographs should reflect that. Weather you're celebrating close to home or halfway across the world, my focus remains the same: documenting your day honestly, intentionally, exactly as it felt. The location may set the scene, but the moments you share are what matter most. My goal is to create images that bring you right back to them, years from now.
