Sam Savat Photographer | Reviews

From the moment we first connected with Sam, we knew he was something special. As a former wedding photographer and planner, I’ve worked with many talented photographers over the last 20 years and had a short list of people I knew would do a great job for our wedding. But when I stumbled upon Sam’s work online, I was immediately impressed by his style. His use of light and shadow, the way he makes every scene feel epic while still capturing the small, meaningful details—it all stood out. After talking with him, my fiancé and I felt an instant connection and respect. We decided to follow our gut and hire him, and it was hands down the best decision we made.

When Sam arrived on our wedding day, it felt like we had known him forever. He didn’t just take photos—he stepped in seamlessly to help orchestrate the day. Our wedding was full of moving parts, and Sam intuitively picked up where our planning team left off. He guided us, coordinated with vendors (all of whom he had never met before), and made sure everything flowed beautifully. He struck the perfect balance of leading when needed and stepping back if the moment called for it.

Our family, wedding party, and even guests noticed his essential role and kept commenting on how incredible he was—not just as a photographer, but as someone who truly elevated the day and helped everything run smoothly. He worked with grace, professionalism, and genuine care. He made us feel like we were his only couple in the world.

And then, of course, there are the photos. They are beyond breathtaking. He has a gift for making every image feel alive with emotion and artistry. Looking through them, we can relive the day exactly as it felt.

Sam went from someone we had never met in person to someone we now consider a friend. We admire, respect, and are deeply grateful for him. We continue to say to each other how thankful we are that we chose him. We would hire him again in a heartbeat for any occasion, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

If you’re considering Sam—trust me, go with your gut. Destination or not, you will not regret it.

We’re so glad we went with our gut. Sam was our first choice, and the perfect photographer for our wedding. Not only did he capture stunning photos of the day with his team, but he also was a leader who helped the day move along, and he helped us and our party feel comfortable throughout. He’s a great communicator and brilliant photographer who made our day. He definitely went above and beyond and we’re very thankful and satisfied to have hired Sam.

SAM IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I can't say it enough! Hands down the best vendor I could've picked for our wedding, and that's saying a lot! From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation. He has an incredible eye for detail and a true talent for capturing moments that are both candid and magical. Every single shot tells a story—from the heartfelt, spontaneous moments to the magazine-worthy money shots. Every photo was just *chef's kiss*!

Sam's professionalism and warmth made everyone feel at ease, allowing him to capture the most genuine emotions and joy throughout the day. We were absolutely blown away when he sent us 60 sneak peek photos just a few days after the wedding, which was the best surprise. Not to mention each one was stunning and perfectly edited.

If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture your special moments with skill, creativity, and heart, book Sam. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding day, and we’ll cherish his photos forever!

THANK YOU, SAM!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Sam as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the moment we first connected, we had zero hesitation about hiring him—his talent and professionalism shine through in everything he does. If we had any hesitation at all, it was simply because we hadn't yet experienced his magic firsthand. But after talking with him, all of our questions were answered thoroughly, and we felt completely at ease.

On the day of our wedding, Sam's presence was invaluable. Unsolicited compliments from our wedding party and guests poured in, praising his approachable and fun demeanor. He seamlessly blended into the event, capturing candid moments while also keeping the energy high and everyone smiling. His photos are stunning, and they perfectly capture the joy and emotions of our day.

If you're on the fence about hiring Sam, don’t make the mistake of missing out on such a phenomenal photographer. He has a special "je ne sais quoi" that elevates your wedding experience, and we couldn't imagine our day without him. If only we could give 10 stars!

Sam Savat Photography is absolutely phenomenal! Sam has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for capturing the most beautiful, candid moments. Our daughter’s wedding photos are stunning—each one tells a story and perfectly reflects the emotions of the day. Sam's professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. We all couldn’t be happier with the results and will treasure these memories forever. Highly recommend!

Sam was an invaluable part of our wedding. So many times I wanted to give up amidst all the chaos but Sam came through every single time and saved the day. He really made sure it was the best day of our life. He brings a calming presence, a fun and joyful attitude, is the master of timelines, and has a unique eye for some of the most amazing photos. He did everything from helping me into my dress to following me around with fans since in was a million degrees outside. I'm convinced this wedding would not of happened without him. Everyone raved about him all night and I don't think he missed a single shot. If he wasn't there then his assistant Steven was! You guys are beyond awesome and we can't thank you enough. You made every dream of ours come true for a truly magical day. Even our venue is begging to see the pictures, stating they've never seen such an enthusiastic and thorough photographer on their property. We all know you captured everything to its fullest! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
