Remember how easy that was?
Remember how fun that was? 

What if I told you that I could make the photos of your wedding day just as easy? That I would take the stress you’re feeling now about being awkward in front of the camera and turn it into a sigh of relief that you’ve found your gal?

What if I told you that I could make the photos of your wedding day just as easy? 
That I would take the stress you’re feeling now about being awkward in front of the camera 
and turn it into a sigh of relief that you’ve found your gal?


But I want you to remember what it felt like to fall in love. 
 

 … And I know I’m basically a stranger. But lemme guess where you’re at right now:
You chose to have a small wedding because you wanted something simple. Intimate. Cozy. 

And now that you’re tits deep in planning and ideas, it feels everything but simple.

I know that’s hard to believe …

What if getting married is as easy as it was to fall in love?

“Where do I even begin with reviewing the BEST wedding photographer in Ouray?

Sam was more than just our photographer; she was an invaluable resource and sounding board as we moved through the entire process from afar. She is also a magician and a true artist with her camera!

Every time we look at our gallery, we are overwhelmed by the time and care she took in preparing our photos. It means the world to us and we are beyond grateful for Sam’s dedication to her craft.”

 “sam … Sam … SAM … SAMM … SAMMMM!”

Hear that? It’s the sound of your guests toasting me as I leave the wedding because I became part of the crew!

↑↑↑↑ Sounds fake, is real. That actually happened at a wedding as I left the venue, with tears in my eyes, and a plate of cake in my hands. And I’ve been chasing that high ever since.

Having a small, remote wedding means welcoming people to a place they have probably never been. And though I'm not a wedding planner, I love to show off my home. On your wedding day, I’ll do everything I can to take care of you and your people.

You party, I’ll host!

I'll be your calming presence,
your party starter,
and so much more.

Once we hired her, everything fell into place. She has this amazing energy about her that keeps you calm throughout the chaos of the day!”

YOUR OURAY WEDDING PHOTOS WILL INCLUDE … 

We’ve got everything (if you read the following like Stefon from SNL, it’s way better):

Mountain peaks, alpine lakes, forest hikes. Oh, and sunshine with snow, literal rainbows, waterfalls, wildflowers, and wind as a paid actor.

And I don’t mean to brag, but I literally live right next to all of the above. This is my actual backyard and nothing makes me happier than finding special, secret locations that’ll knock your socks off on the big day. 

If When you hire me, trust that you’ll get photos of this scenery as stunning as it looks in real life. I adore these mountains and always want my couples to shine in them!

When we met Sam, she had such a contagious & friendly personality. We had a great connection immediately, so I knew right away she was going to be our photographer.
She had a great amount of resources and vendors, and helped a lot with my decision-making process. Oh and Sam's pictures? 

STELLAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, SUCH GREAT QUALITY!!!!! 

Sam made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and was a great director as far as poses and smiles. Stop looking for other photographers and book our gal! You won't regret it.”

Sam is AMAZING! She is super fun to work with and really helpful. She helped us with picking a location and found us a second location when the first one was inaccessible on our wedding day because of a road closure. She knows all the best spots in Ouray!

I love her style and she was easy to work with. I was worried professional photographs would be awkward but her fun and adventurous spirit put us at ease.”
