memories, unexpected perspectives, and the unique personalities specific to each couple. Each wedding is unique, and deserves to be treated as such.

sam wyper
Photographer
I’m a wedding photographer who gets excited by dramatic lighting, high-energy moments, kids being kids, and most of all, by genuine moments that are shared between loved ones. I’ll be there to capture all of those meaningful moments and everything in between. Plenty of photographers capture pretty pictures. Few, however, can consistently capture next level candid moments. I do this at every wedding I photograph. I’ll help you plan your special day and we’ll build a relationship during the wedding planning process. I will be like your friend and someone you can trust on our wedding day.
