Kendall Wallace on 18 Jun 2022

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! I am so thankful that I found Samantha on Facebook. She did our engagement pictures, and I just knew she had to do our wedding photos too. Her and her second shooter we hired for the wedding were extremely professional, fun and showed up on time. I am so grateful for her, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful pictures.

Samantha was the best photographer we could’ve asked for! She has such a warm personality and a great sense of humor; she immediately made us feel super comfortable and made engagement and wedding pictures a breeze. She was great at posing and directing us so we could get the best pictures possible. Just as important, all the pictures she took were absolutely stunning. Samantha was always on schedule and made sure to communicate everything so we knew what was going on. She returned our pictures faster than expected and kept me in the loop during her editing timeline. I can’t gush enough over how wonderful Samantha is and how fun and comfortable she was to work with, as well as how her beautiful her pictures are. I 100% recommend Samantha to any couples looking for a photographer!

Sam photographed our wedding and Vietnamese tea ceremony this past February (2022). My husband and I came in from out of town, and because of the pandemic weren't able to come in on an earlier occasion to do engagements or anything with Sam. She was able to quickly figure out how to communicate with us to get us to pose and do whatever she wanted from us. And we are NOT photogenic. But Sam was just super easy to get along with and an expert with posing, so we were able to get some AMAZING photos out of it. We also had a lot of family and family friends who insisted on playing photographer, but Sam kept her cool and was able to get incredible shots despite constantly getting shoved (literally) out of the way. Lastly, Sam was the only vendor to follow along with our request for all of our vendors to wear a mask throughout the day. Whatever your stance is on these things, I think this small action speaks a lot to how Sam was willing to go out of her way to make us comfortable and happy. Sam was by far one of our best choices in wedding planning, and I highly encourage you to choose her too!

We hired Samantha for our June 2021 wedding. She made the whole process so much better! She was easy to communicate with and gave great advice. We received so many pictures from our wedding. She was great with our family and wedding party as well. Hiring Samantha was one of the best decisions we made throughout wedding planning. She has great prices for the value. I could not recommend her enough!

Kristina Little on 22 Oct 2022

Booking Samantha for our wedding was the best decision we made! Not only are the photos better than we could have imagined, we truly enjoyed getting to know Samantha and having her at our special day.
We plan to work with her in the future for all our photography needs and can't recommend her more highly!

Ashley Evans on 17 Dec 2022

Samantha was absolutely amazing! We loved everything about our experience and photos! My husband is not one for pictures but after working with her, he said “she’s hired for life”! Samantha is easy to work with, we laughed through a very windy engagement photo session with her and our wedding pictures were phenomenal. She is very easy to communicate with and is super flexible with scheduling. You will not be disappointed with her!

Kelsye Janish on 18 Feb 2023

Samantha was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! From the start with our engagements, to the BLAST that we had with my bridals and an unforgettable wedding! Her and her team did perfect! For someone like me who is shy infront of a camera… Samantha made me feel so comfortable! There is not one picture that I don’t love. I will use her for ANY picture needs I have !! You should too

Shelbi Mangel on 04 Mar 2023

Sam was absolutely AMAZING on our wedding day. Taking pictures is not always my favorite thing to do, but Sam takes all the stress away and does a beautiful job. Her upbeat personality was great for our wedding party, her second shooter worked great with the groom and groomsmen. She had our photos edited and sent back to us quickly. She captured our day perfectly. When I look at our pictures, it's like I'm reliving the day all over again. I can't say enough kind words about Sam's photography. You (hopefully) only get married once, so you want to make sure the pictures are captured by someone you trust. Look no further than Sam O'Neal!

About

Photographer Samantha O’Neal About me

I'm a small town Southern girl from Sealy, Texas which is an hour outside of Houston, Texas. Love led me to my husband Darrell and that's when the adventures really began. We LOVE to travel. In only a few short years we have moved to Mobile, Alabama then to Dallas, Texas, and then all the way out in beautiful Crestline, California high in the San Bernardino Mountains, just East of Los Angeles. After being there for a year we decided to make our way back to Texas and we're now living in Katy, TX. It has been a very exciting few years to say the least!
During this time we got a crazy, energy filled dog named Caroline and had our lives blessed with equally energy filled kids, Madelyn and Joseph. We're all very happy to be close to family again!
