Here’s a small confession: I’m not very comfortable in front of a camera. Oh I can take a decent self-portrait, but once someone else is taking my photo, everything falls apart: where do my arms go? Does my stance look normal? And oh no, was that smile natural? So if that happens to you when the camera comes out, no worries! I know how you feel.

“Dave was fun to work with. My husband is usually very uncomfortable with getting his picture taken but Dave kept him at ease during our engagement shoot and on the wedding day. He was up for any suggestions but also had a lot of great unique ideas. I live in NY and Dave was flexible in scheduling the engagement shoots around mine and my husband’s travel plans. On the day of the wedding he instantly blended in with our family and friends which lead to amazing photos. I love my photos and highly recommend Dave Moore.”

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

“My wedding was a little atypical, we planned the entire thing in less than two months, had a crowd of 30 family members present, and had EVERYONE take an hour car trip into the National Park for our ceremony. The photographer who would capture all our wonderful memories was by far the most important vendor to me, so Lexi was the first person I booked! And thank goodness I did because I couldn’t have picked a more wonderful person to handle the uniqueness of our celebration than her. Lexi dealt with one date change, two location changes, and much more as my husband and I went through the decision making process in our short timeline. Lexi handled it all flawlessly, and showed up ready to help make our day special even in the middle of her own pregnancy! She traveled from states away, and made the Indiana Jones-esque drive into the mountains, to go above and beyond to shoot for us. Not only that but she got our preview out in less than 24 hours from the close of our reception, lightning speed! She was so kind and helped us feel comfortable and natural for two people who have never taken professional photos before. I would recommend anyone to Lexi for their wedding/elopement!”

I believe love is the most important thing. It’s what fuels us to our future, keeps us going on the bad days, and travels with us throughout time. My greatest joy is capturing days where love is at the forefront; where two people commit to a life full of passion and adventure. My work is more than just photography. It’s capturing history - your history.

“We hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still can’t fully express how happy we are with her and her work for both our engagement shoot and wedding photography! We are NOT the most natural people to photograph but Michayla helped us feel so natural and at ease both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. When doing family pictures she was so on top of it and made it such an efficient process which only made the day better as nobody was grumpy about standing around taking photos forever. We loved how she captured the “in between moments”, they are truly the ones we will cherish the most because we get to remember those fun little details of the day. We also had a second photographer as part of our package who happened to be Michayla’s husband Logan and he was just as easy to work with and only made the experience better!

“Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!”

From the beginning, we will get to know each other with an engagement session, and I will help you organize your timeline and provide my professional guidance to make sure every detail and moment is beautifully captured.

“Katie is an exceptional photographer, our families and us can not imagine what our wedding photos and engagement photos would have been like with out her. We started with Katie working on our engagement photos, this was a really special time for us and Katie helped make it even more special. She used the time to capture us but to also work with us on what we were comfortable with and what styles we liked. Throughout the entire time she was always spot on with communication and making sure we were taken care of. Following our engagement photo session she had photos available to us quickly that we could use to start sharing with our families and friends. Everyone we showed was amazed by just how great the photos looked from us to the the composition. Katie has a great way of capturing us while also providing works of art that are great for hanging and decorating. During our engagement session we decided to do throw color powder at each other and it was a fun and playful time for us. Katie was equally as excited and did a great job working with to get this special request captured. Leading up to the wedding day Katie was always right there making sure every detail for the day was figured out well in advance so we did not have to worry about photos on the day of our wedding. She provided guidance on suggested groups of people to take photos and other special moments that we would want to capture. She was very clear about the most efficient way to capture family photos so that we could get to our couples photos and so that our families could get to partying after the ceremony. On the day of we were amazed but just how present she was with all the photos while not being overbearing. We got all the moments we had requested and many that we did not even know to ask for. One of the really special moments that she captured for us was when our 80 year old Grandpa stood up insisting on dancing with our family. Katie hurried from across the dance floor to make sure that she was there to capture that for us. Those are pictures we will treasure for a lifetime and something that could have easily been missed but Katie was there. Throughout the entire process Katie made us feel special and a priority we are so grateful for her and her photos that we will be able to look back and see our special day for the rest of our lifetime. She is an amazing photographer and person, anyone would be beyond lucky to have her capture their once in a lifetime moments.”

We were blown away by how she captured our most candid, romantic moments with such artistry. Even though we were both a little nervous in front of the camera, she had an amazing ability to make us feel comfortable and confident. But here's the real magic: the weather wasn’t exactly on our side. The day was hot, humid, and rainy—but Sarah was a true trooper. Not only did she continue working in the rain without skipping a beat, but she turned what could’ve been a disaster into an unforgettable moment. She even caught the most stunning rainbow right after the storm passed, and the portrait she took of us under it was absolutely breathtaking. It’s the kind of shot you’ll cherish forever! We are so grateful for Sarah's patience, positivity, and talent. Every time we look at our photos, we're reminded of how lucky we were to have them as part of our special day.

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

“As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning. On the day she is prompt, classy, discrete and confident in directing wedding party members to get the best shots. I look forward to working with Cassidy again and will continue to recommend her to my clients.”

My name is Samantha and I am the owner of SKH Photography. I take pride in showcasing my style on professional photography. I understand that everyone has an independent expression of who they are. My goal is to capture the unique quality and personality of every individual I photograph. Being able to capture who my clients are and the memories they are making is what I truly love about taking pictures. My passion for photography started in 2013 after I graduated high school. After that I started working with a local photographer who took me under her wing and helped me pursue my passion and I started my business in 2014.

“If you are looking for any type of pictures done I highly recommend SKH photography. She made my wedding feel so perfect and did an amazing job. Thank you so much for the experience that we had xoxo”
