Kind Words
"Felt like a long-lost friend."
"Could not have imagined having anyone else capture our big day. From our very first coffee date, Sam felt like a long-lost friend and we had absolute faith in her to understand us and reflect that in the photos she took. We were not disappointed, as she summed up our day perfectly and managed to capture all the intimate, unnoticed moments and everything in between."
