I hired Samshots marketing team to build my website and he took my headshots. I can honestly say it’s the best experience I’ve had! He takes phenomenal photos, goes above and beyond in his line of work and really caters to your needs as a client and a vendor. I will most definitely recommend Sam and his team to my clients and I am excited to work alongside with a true professional!

My husband and I first hired Sam and his team for videography for our wedding last year in 2019 and then again recently for maternity photography. Each time they far exceeded our expectations. Each person on… their team is professional, friendly, and very easy to get along with. Their quality and knowledge is an AMAZING value for the product they deliver. Their contract and payment system is user friendly and they always deliver video/photos in short turnaround times. I would highly recommend Samshots video and photography and plan to hire for all my life milestones in the future.

We had the greatest pleasure of working with Sam and his team for our engagement and small wedding ceremony and reception this June. Sam was exceptional- he and his team were able to capture our day exactly as we had envisioned. We received our engagement and wedding pictures within days of the shoot, the pictures were beautiful and perfect in… every way. When we changed our wedding from a huge ballroom reception to a small and intimate outdoor family wedding because of the coronavirus, Sam accommodated us in every way. He and his team were very professional, and took every precaution during

We initially chose SamShots because of their great Web ratings. After visiting their office and talking with them about our needs, we chose to use them to take still photographs and video of our anniversary party. We couldn't be more pleased and would not hesitate to use them again for another event.

I cannot say enough good things about Sam & his team! From our engagement shoot to our wedding, I couldn't be more pleased with, not only the photos, but the customer service. The team is so patient, easy, & fun to work with, I could spend the whole day taking pictures with them!
I booked Samshots well in advance (make sure you do, because they get busy!!!), but I never felt as if they had forgotten about my wedding. I was always updated on things I had to do the day of the wedding, helped with my wedding day timeline, and was always accommodated when it came to rescheduling. 100%

Sam shots had promised not to post the photos and videos of the wedding on Facebook, YouTube or any other type of media but he has posted them. I have contacted him several times in the past four years, and very nicely and friendly have asked him to bring them down, he always claimed it was a mistake and then he took them off for a short time and reposted again. He has presented the wedding photos in large size prints in wedding events without permission although from day one he was told not to present them and post them. He keeps changing the name of the wedding video and the video of the modeling

Words will never be enough to express our gratitude for the extraordinary scenes that the talented Samshots and his team captured on our wedding day. From the moment we met Sam and his team they created an environment of trust, respect, open communication and friendliness with my husband and I. They listened to how we had envisioned our day to be documented and they truly went above and beyond to create that for us. Just like any bride I was nervous and anxious about every aspect of my wedding day and especially how our photos and videos will turn out. The day that Sam and his team finally revealed

I've been referring clients to Sam for as long as I can remember given his experience and feedback from the dozens of brides and subjects I've spoken to. It wasn't till we hired Sam to do our maternity shoot that we really saw first hand how amazing his talent really is. We were short on time and given the craziness of late term pregnancy we were left doing the shoot at our apt. We had pretty much written off the images since we didn't think they would come out as expected. Boy were we wrong. Sam has a truly amazing eye for poses and his angles, use of natural light, and most

Samshots Photography is one of the most talented group of people working together to record amazing moments of your life. It's nearly a year later since my wedding and every time I watch my wedding video and look at the pictures I live through the whole experience again.

He has the most advanced technology including drone camera to capture the moments. He has gathered a very gifted and brilliant group of individuals who will capture every moment of your occasion, and

There are not enough good things to say about Sam and his team! He was professional, enthusiastic, and most importantly he took amazing photographs and video!
Sam came with my wife and I to our destination wedding in Las Vegas. Not only did he run around with us all day finding all the perfect shots that we told him that we wanted, but he also did his research beforehand and planned a few places of his own - they turned out spectacularly.
I waited until Sam finished processing our pictures and video to leave this review. I am thrilled that I did, because I can sincerely say that these pictures

Sam did a wonderful job for our engagement party - Persian-American style. He made me feel great as we were shooting and the pictures received SO MANY compliments from our family and friends. I cannot wait to work with Sam again for our upcoming wedding in September. I would definitely recommend him. I have seen all his videos as well and can't wait to customize mine after our wedding is photographed and filmed. Sam is timely, professional, and has a great personality that helps you feel relaxed when shooting. Thank you Sam!
