Samantha + Jose
Fall Wedding Day in Kearney 9/12/26
You will be heard.
With a calming presence and steady hand, I’m more than just your photographer. I’m your partner in this entire wedding journey. From our first conversation to your final gallery, you can expect a safe, open experience filled with intentional, positive energy.
I’m here to capture the real you the way your spouse sees you, the way your loved ones know you. I specialize in the in-between moments: quiet glances, belly laughs, teary hugs, and the beautifully unplanned scenes that make you say, “That’s so us.”
Guiding you through the process is my strength. I take initiative, bring clarity when stress creeps in, and stay steady through last-minute changes. You’ll feel known, cared for, and genuinely seen and so will your family.
By the end, we’ll likely feel more like friends than clients, creating a space where you can be yourself while I preserve the moments that matter most.
The Wedding Industry Has it Wrong!
More and more vendors are prioritizing their vision for the day. And while artistic creativity is essential and part of what makes each vendor unique, it should never come at the expense of your voice.
My role isn’t to take over, it’s to lead with purpose. I bring experience, education, and a clear eye for what works, but I never lose sight of your vision. I don’t just offer opinions, I offer insight, rooted in experience, to help shape a wedding day that feels undeniably yours.
This isn’t about dismissing your ideas, it’s about elevating them. Because at the end of the day, your wedding should look, feel, and be a true reflection of you.
Your vision for an outdoor wedding with earthy tones, and that gorgeous chandelier is exactly the kind of day I love to photograph. I can already picture how your cream, sage, and terracotta palette will flow perfectly with the open-air setting. Since you’d rather have someone take the lead, I’ll guide you through each moment so you feel comfortable and confident, while still capturing the real, unposed moments that tell your story. From the quiet glances to the big reception celebration, I’ll make sure every part of your seven-year love story is preserved authentically.

FAQs
Q: What makes your photography experience different from others?
A: This isn’t just about pretty photos, it’s about feeling seen, celebrated, and completely taken care of. From day one, I bring a calming presence and a purpose-driven approach to every part of your experience. I’m not just documenting your wedding, I’m holding space for your story, your connection, and the little moments you didn’t even realize mattered.
Q: Do you work with planners?
A: Yes, and I love it! I work seamlessly with planners to keep everything running smoothly and intentionally. Whether you have a full-service planner or day-of coordinator, I stay in sync with your team while staying anchored to your vision. We’re all working toward the same goal: a wedding day that reflects you from start to finish.
Q: How do you help us feel comfortable in front of the camera?
A: I understand that being photographed can sometimes feel a bit awkward. That’s why I never ask you to “perform” for the camera. I guide you confidently with clear, honest direction and consistent communication—ensuring you feel comfortable every step of the way. I pride myself on being transparent and attentive. I read body language effectively, so if something doesn't feel right, I'll pick up on it immediately and adjust our approach. I’m here to capture genuine moments that truly reflect you as a couple, never forcing poses or ideas that don’t align with your vibe. In the end, most couples say it felt like spending time with a trusted friend—because that's exactly the experience I strive to create.
Q: How do you make sure nothing gets missed on the wedding day?
A: By being more than just a photographer. I’m constantly reading the room, anticipating what’s next, and quietly handling the little things so you don’t have to. I’ll help build a timeline that makes space for real moments and ensure the day flows in a way that feels natural, not rushed. You’ll never need to worry. I’ve got you.

A: I’m hands-on and fully invested in making sure you feel supported leading up to your wedding day.

We’ll walk through the details together, talk through priorities, and map out a timeline that reflects your vision. This isn’t a generic schedule, We build it together. This way your expectations are clear, your needs are heard, and we’re fully aligned heading into your wedding day.
Take the Next Steps
Here are the next steps to book me as your photographer:
Let me know which collection you would like!
I will send over a contract proposal and an invoice. - In order to secure your date I require a non-refundable retainer of $1000. This $1000 goes towards the full price of the package. Once the retainer has been paid and the contract has been signed, I will also sign the contract and send it back to you.
After all the signatures are in, then we START TO PLAN! If you choose an engagement session then we get to start brainstorming different locations, ideas, outfits, etc.
