Hey lovebirds.

As your wedding photographer, I want to visually capture your wedding day as you've always imagined it. Every detail that you plan into your wedding we want you to be able to look back and remember. Not just each detail, but how these details came together as a whole to create the story you wanted to tell.

Tim and I were lucky enough to have Samantha Brown as both our engagement and wedding photographer and we are beyond happy with that choice! Starting with the first introduction call, all the way through the wedding, Samantha was fantastic. She is an incredible communicator and Tim and I were instantly endeared to her warm, bubbly personality. As for the photos, I think they speak for themselves. Samantha captured our day so beautifully, down to even the smallest detail. She is truly a master of her craft.

"There is a reason why Samantha has all 5 star reviews! Wow, where do I begin... I truly can't say enough amazing things about Samantha and Peter. They did a beautiful job photographing our wedding. We just received our wedding gallery back and can't help, but smile as we get to relive that day all over again each time we look at our gallery. They did a wonderful job capturing our special day from start to finish. The communication was great with Samantha and she made us feel very comfortable and at ease! I would highly recommend them for all your photography needs. Plus, Samantha also offers hair & makeup services! Thank you so much Samantha & Peter!"

"SAMANTHA IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! From the second I booked with her to the end of our wedding she was always available for any questions I had, she was so detail oriented, and just a delight to work with. Our wedding day was absolutely fantastic and I could not have asked for a more talented photographer. She had a fast turnaround for our pictures, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. You will not be disappointed if you book with her!"

"Samantha did a wonderful job with our photos. We originally found her online being from out of state to do our engagement photos that turned out excellent. And then, we decided to have our wedding in her area and she photographed our wedding as well. Those photographs were amazing and her attention to detail is top notch! She does very well planning, ironing out details beforehand and executing the timeline. Definitely, recommend Samantha!"

"Samantha stepped in 3 days before my wedding when my originally booked photographer had to last minute cancel. She not only saved the day for us, but our photos turned out beautiful and she did a great job coordinating everyone for our pictures. I'm so happy she ended up being the one to photograph our wedding. Highly recommend!"

"Samantha was amazing to work with. She is very detailed and a great communicator. Not having the first clue about what to expect, she made us feel at ease. When things were really getting started they were pretty chaotic and she helped keep things moving along. Her assistant (hubby) is also awesome! We had the pleasure of working with both of them on our wedding day. My husband kept saying, "she's awesome! Great pick babe." The photos turned out beautiful!"

"I cannot put into words how happy I am with ALL of the photos from our wedding. I felt like I was reliving the day when I went through them. You captured the entirety of it so perfectly and I am so grateful. They are stunning!! Thank you for the quick turnaround time too. I feel like I can't say thank you enough. It was amazing to work which you and I will certainly be reaching out in the future the next time we need professional photos done. You guys are the BEST!"





Betsy & Norman

"Samantha and her husband were a pleasure to work with for our beach wedding!! My husband and I are very awkward when it comes to picture taking and she did a great job keeping us smiling and making us feel comfortable! The pictures came out amazing, she captured our day perfectly! She also did a great job managing the timeline and all the craziness and the turnaround for receiving our photos was way quicker than expected. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have great photos and a great experience!"


Why hire the Browns?

Familiar, Fun & organized

Why hire the Browns?

I am a photographer, but there is more that goes into photography than knowing your technical skills. I am also the director, friend, jokester and shoulder to lean on during your big day.

I am meticulous with my posing. There will never be a time where you will have to figure out what to do with your hands, or how to stand that will most flatter your body type. That is my job, and I am here for you.

Peter and I work as a team to help your day move along smoothly with lots of laughs!
