Meet the Photographer

Samantha Parkes

I fell in love with photography as a little girl, using up rolls of film on imperfect images of my mother’s garden. It’s always been my artistic outlet. To me, weddings are the purest form of that art—flowing gowns, wind-caught veils, fleeting glances. I’m a romantic at heart, turning love stories into timeless imagery.

Testimonial

We LOVED working with Sam for our engagement and wedding photos. From the moment we booked with her she was attentive, responsive, and easy to work with. She made posing easy, natural, and not the least bit awkward. Sam is also organized and incredibly timely. She was an absolute joy to work with!! We could not recommend her more!
