Pittsburgh Wedding Videography and Photography
Wedding planning can feel like a whirlwind – timelines, vendors, details, decisions. In the middle of all that, it’s easy to lose sight of what you’re really planning: a day that celebrates your story and the people you love most.
Memories over everything
Your wedding day is a rare moment in life when family and friends gather in one place to support your marriage and your future together.
When the music fades and the cake is eaten, what you’re left with are your memories – and the photographs that keep them alive. Those images become the lasting record of how the day looked, felt, and unfolded.
That’s why I approach every wedding with a timeless, documentary mindset. My packages are built around your actual day, not a rigid formula. Coverage is tailored to your schedule, your priorities, and your vision. And you never have to worry about missing out because there is no limit on the number of photos you receive.
You’ll get beautiful portraits worthy of your walls along with candid, unscripted moments – the laughs, happy tears, quiet connections, and meaningful details in between.
Real life, captured naturally, so you can relive your wedding for decades to come. Your experience matters just as much as your images. I’m here to make the process simple, comfortable, and even fun. Let’s create photos that feel like you.

- Amy & Kory
She was open to any picture we wanted but gave us a lot of poses and shots that worked out great! We even had our dogs, and she accommodated getting pictures with them as well. I love the natural, raw photos that are not overly edited, and she did a wonderful job. The whole process of a wedding is very stressful, but having Sam help us plan our day and make sure we got the photos we wanted was extremely helpful.“

I love the natural, raw photos that are not overly edited, and she did a wonderful job. The whole process of a wedding is very stressful, but having Sam help us plan our day and make sure we got the photos we wanted was extremely helpful. My only regret was not having her stay the whole night until the end of the wedding. I loved all of my photos and many of our family and friends said they were having such a hard time choosing a favorite since they were all so good.“
“Sam was such a pleasure to work with for my engagement session and wedding day. She captured not only beautiful portraits, but candid photos as well.
- Kate & Ian
She worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, communicated constantly leading up to our big day, and was so nice and easy to work with.“
“Sam was the best choice for our wedding photographer! Our photos turned out wonderfully and we'll treasure them for years to come!
