hi, I'm Sami, and I'm so thrilled you're here.

my business exists to know you + to authentically tell your story. I am deeply passionate about connecting with others and discovering what makes you and in turn, finding a way to share that story through photography.

I have been a part of the wedding industry for 8 years now and I am fully confident in being able to handle anything a wedding day might bring. choosing your photographer isn't only about finding someone who can take pretty portraits; it's also about finding someone who can also read the energy in the room.

LET'S CONNECT

"Sami is an absolutely phenomenal individual and photographer! My wife and I used her to shoot our engagement photos and our wedding. When we received our gallery, we were not disappointed. Sami has a true gift for capturing genuine moments, authentic emotion, and creates a narrative of the timeless events we hold so dear. Not only that, she is highly professional and diligent in making the most of your time and hers. I cannot emphasize it enough - Sami is the person you want and need taking those picture perfect instances. Furthermore, I think it is vitally important to mention that Sami is a wonderful person overall. She is one of those rare individuals you meet for the first time, yet feel like you've been best friends for years! She helped make us feel so comfortable and at ease during our shoot (which, it being our first time to do a shoot, is no easy feat)! That being said, I highly recommend Sami for your photography needs - you might just meet your new best friend." - emily & jordan
“Sami is worth all of the praise that we could give her. From the very start she made a point to know her clients so that on our big day it felt like another friend in the room. I never imagined calling my photographer "friend" but that is exactly what she became. My friend Sami gave me an appreciation for photography by the way she captured all of our loved ones so perfectly. All the love and joy from our wedding day is expressed through the pictures she took. I feel like I get to relive our wedding day when I look through our photos. She is the kindest soul, love others so incredibly well, and is one of the most talented photographers.” - allie & craig
"Sami Strong photographed our engagement, rehearsal, and wedding pictures almost 3 years ago now and not only did she do a phenomenal job on our wedding photos but she was such a joy to have around all day. I cannot remember an instance that I or any of the wedding party had to take on the stress of any of the photos from the day. She took charge and kept the day moving smoothly as planned. Sami is not only a great photographer but she is also incredibly creative. She is also so great at helping you forget that you are behind a camera which allows her to capture the genuine laughter and personality of the people she is photographing. Since the wedding she has captured all of our life’s biggest moments... And let’s be honest she’ll be there when we have our first babe. I say this all the time but sami strong is our forever photographer and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to capture these moments in our lives."- cierra & josiah
"If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. Sami is an absolute dream to work with. She's so so sweet but more importantly, her pictures are amazing every time. Even though taking pictures can definitely feel awkward sometimes, she makes the whole experience very comfortable. She's a very sweet and fun person to work with and that definitely reflects in her work. Sami photographed our wedding, on recommendation, and I am so glad we went with her. Our pictures look straight out of a movie and we will definitely treasure them for years and years to come. (How in the world can someone p e r f e c t l y capture love in a photo?? Not sure but Sami nailed it). Seriously cannot speak highly enough of sweet Sami. I promise you will never regret choosing Sami to photograph your special days."- jamie & aaron
