“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!”
Elizabeth & Charlie
“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!”

Her and her husband were so fun to work with, great with our small children, and wonderful from start to finish. Her use of natural light is nothing short of magical - if you’re looking for a natural light photographer, please hire her!!! You will not be disappointed!”

She was very organized and had excellent communication with us the entire time. Her photo location was awesome and I love how she knew how to pose the people in our party for a natural but professional look. She also did a great job working with the natural light. On top of it all, she is just the sweetest person too.”

She came highly recommended by a photographer on Bradenton Beach who was fully booked the week we were coming, and she did not disappoint!

I would highly recommend Samantha Brown Artistry LLC!”

Thank you again for your time and patience with this crazy girl!”

We will treasure the memories and photos.”
