Photographer / Dog Mom / Lover of Love

I’m a wedding photographer based in Edmonton, but my love for storytelling takes me wherever your journey leads. For over five years, I’ve been capturing moments of pure joy, wild love, and unforgettable memories. My approach is all about authenticity—creating images that feel like you, not just a posed portrait. I blend editorial elegance with a laid-back, fun vibe to make sure your photos are as relaxed as they are beautiful. Whether it’s your wedding, elopement, or any special occasion, I’m here to turn those fleeting moments into timeless treasures

Hey, I'm Samantha-

If you cry, I cry. It’s a package deal.

I’m an Edmonton-based wedding photographer, and for the past five years, I’ve been lucky enough to turn love stories into breathtaking, artistic images. Honestly? I can’t imagine doing anything else. There’s something magical about capturing those in-between moments—the stolen glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the happy tears (yep, I’ll probably tear up too). But here’s the thing—you’re not just hiring someone to snap pretty pictures. You’re inviting me into one of the biggest days of your life, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll be the one hyping you up, fixing your veil, making sure your tie is straight, and reminding you to breathe. And yes, I’ll absolutely crack a dad joke and drop a Mean Girls quote like it’s my job (because, let’s be real, it kind of is). While I take my work seriously, I also believe your photography experience should be just as fun as the photos are stunning. So if you’re looking for a photographer who’ll capture your day in a raw, authentic, and editorial way and make you laugh along the way—hi, I think we just became best friends.

get to know me 

I may not have kids, but I have a fur baby named Oscar who’s basically my child (and he definitely runs the show).

One.

Still Curious?

If charcuterie boards and brunch were Olympic sports, I’d have a gold medal (and maybe a few mimosas in hand

Two.

i’m basically 70% sugar – ice cream, candy, you name it. If it’s sweet, I’m in.

Reality TV is my cardio. Whether it’s drama, chaos, or love triangles, I’m here for all of it.

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!
