About Golden Hour Images
Golden Hour Images
Since 2013, I’ve been documenting love stories with a timeless and authentic approach that feels true to you. From intimate elopements to full wedding celebrations, my work combines classic elegance with heartfelt storytelling. For me, photography is about more than beautiful images. It’s about building trust, creating a meaningful experience, and celebrating love in all its forms while honoring every culture, connection, and story.
Featured in Today, People Magazine, Bridal Guide, Love Stories TV, and CBS. I tell every couple the same thing: “The only right way to do a wedding is your way.” As a 2022 bride with 10+ years in the wedding industry, I know how important it is to feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. I provide photography timeline planning, vision support, and an affirming, inclusive experience for all love stories. Your experience always comes first. Fully licensed and insured.

BOOK HER!!!
BOOK HER!!!! I do not have enough words to describe how amazing Sam is. My husband and I worked with her for 2 years. She shot our engagement photos, my graduation photos, and our wedding and she KILLED IT. Not only were the photos amazing, she was an amazing advocate for us on wedding day. You will not be disappointed working with her, and we will be booking again.

6 stars!
Sam is a PHENOMENAL photographer. She stays professional while also having a fun and friendly presence. My wedding planner said she was very helpful and great to work with - no hand holding needed. She listened to our vision and prioritized the photo time how we wanted. We ended up doing additional wedding portraits after the wedding so we could focus on loved ones (highly recommend!) and she came prepared with ideas to add to our gallery. She captured a lot of personality in our photos and we love them!

The Best Photographer Ever!
Samantha is by far the best photographer I've ever worked with. She's extremely professional but also very personable. We're freshly married so we haven't gotten wedding pictures back yet but we did a photo shoot the week leading up to the wedding and she surprised us by editing them all before our wedding day. We live in a different state but I seriously would travel to her just so we can get more pictures done by her. As for the wedding day, she was super organized and made everything extremely easy for me. I have no notes, she was absolutely perfect!

The Best Photographer!!
Samantha is seriously the best! She’s so easy to work with and always goes above and beyond. Our whole wedding party loved her and still talks about how fun she was to have around. On my wedding day, she felt like a friend, a photographer, and even a little bit like a wedding coordinator all at once. She was super professional but also really comforting, always checking in to make sure I was okay and not getting overwhelmed. I honestly can’t recommend her enough. And of course, her photos are gorgeous. I’m so grateful she was there to capture such a huge moment in my life. Now I’ll be able to look back over the years and show everyone all the amazing pictures she took of our big day.
