About Golden Hour Images

Golden Hour Images

Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

Featured: The Today Show + People Magazine + Bridal Guide + Love Stories TV + CBS. When you’re looking for a wedding photographer, I tell everyone the same thing, “the only right way to do a wedding is your way.” As a 2022 bride with 10+ years in the wedding industry, I find it important to find someone who speaks to your vision and comfort. I provide timeline planning and a mood board session and am happy to help with design and site visits. I provide affirming and inclusive services to all love. Your experience is my #1 priority. I’ll be your ultimate hype-woman and celebrate what makes you uniquely you—LLC and insured.

    From the moment we first contacted Sam/Golden Hour Images, we were impressed by her thorough and detailed communication style. She was incredibly friendly and understanding as we navigated the wedding planning process. On the day of our engagement photo session, Sam demonstrated exceptional talent and dedication, capturing beautiful and natural moments that exceeded our expectations. We are so excited for her to photograph our upcoming wedding and know that her amazing work will help us cherish the memories of our special day forever. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images enough!

    Sam was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t even begin to recommend her enough! Sam took out engagement pictures (December 2023) and photographed our wedding (October 2024). Sam completely captured what we envisioned both times and knocked it out of the park. We had multiple meeting virtually with Sam where she provided us with a vision board, a shot list, and a timeline. Both times, she was incredibly professional while making sure everyone felt comfortable. She even danced on the dance floor with us! I truly couldn’t recommend a better photographer.

    Samantha and the team at Golden Hour Images were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Samantha's kind, prompt, and efficient communication style put us at ease. Her professionalism and attention to detail were apparent in the high-end, creative photos she captured that we will cherish forever. Samantha was a bright light throughout our special day, helping us feel confident and natural in front of the camera. The quality of her work exceeded our expectations, and we would choose her again in a heartbeat. We cannot recommend Golden Hour Images highly enough!
