WEDDING | Getting Ready | Samuel TM Photography

All the Beautiful Details

We also take time to carefully photograph the details that make your wedding unique. For the bride, that includes the dress and veil (a pretty hanger is always a great touch!), shoes, perfume, jewelry, rings, vow books, invitations, and any personal or family heirlooms.

On the groom’s side, we capture the suit, shoes, cufflinks, tie or bowtie, watch, cologne, and any other meaningful keepsakes. Every item has a story, and we make sure it’s remembered.

Getting Ready

The Calm Before Everything Changes

This part of your day is more than just preparation, it’s the calm before the celebration, the anticipation before everything changes. It’s the before of the after. These are powerful, emotional moments, and we’re there to capture every bit of the joy, nerves, excitement, and connection shared between you and your closest people.

Telling Both Sides of the Story

We make sure to photograph both the bride and the groom getting ready, at the same time, so we can preserve the natural flow of your wedding day without interruption. While one photographer captures the bride and bridesmaids, another is with the groom and groomsmen. This way, you’ll both get to relive those special behind-the-scenes moments, even the ones you weren’t there to see.

LATEST LOVE STORY FEATURED

We’ll document the excitement as hair and makeup come together, with beautiful, candid shots of the process. Then come the fun and laughter-filled moments in robes with your bridesmaids before the dress goes on, these are some of the most joyful, relaxed photos of the day. Finally, we’ll capture the emotional moment when you step into your gown, surrounded by the women who matter most.

Bridal and Bridesmaids Moments

The groom’s side has its own energy, laid-back, meaningful, and full of quiet anticipation. We’ll capture the details of getting suited up, the laughter between friends, and the personal touches like letters, gifts, or shared toasts. These moments deserve just as much care and storytelling as the rest of the day.

The Groom and Groomsmen

Where anticipation, emotion, and beauty collide.

"As soon as I saw Samuel’s work, I fell in love! The wedding day flys by but pictures last a lifetime. It was extremely important for me to have a photographer that captured all of the special moments throughout our wedding day. Samuel was extremely patient from the beginning. He took the time to call us multiple times to discuss packages and recommend what package works best for us. After helping us select the best package, he created a Pinterest board for us to know exactly what pictures we were looking for. Samuel and his crew were absolutely amazing the day of the wedding! They arrived an hour earlier then expected to walk through the hotel and find places to take pictures. They made me and the guests feel comfortable the entire process and we had TONS of fun taking pictures throughout the day. The pictures turned out AMAZING and I am so in love with them."

"Samuel is a fantastic photographer! He captured the energy, fun and laughter of our wedding day, seeing the photos we re-lived the day and saw so much that we had missed, it was amazing.We met twice at a mutual location and discussed our vision for the wedding. Samuel made us feel completely comfortable and showed genuine interest in our ideas and plans for the big day. I was able to text him ideas and he was always quick to respond. One vision was my veil in the wind shot and he absolutely killed it!!Most importantly of all we absolutely LOVE our wedding photos, he capture so many special memories. We will treasure them forever. Thank you Samuel, we cannot recommend you highly enough. A truly inspirational photographer.”

Not only was he patient with our large family but he made it easy for us and came to our house to accommodate us since our granddaughter was a newborn. I will definitely recommend Samuel for professional pictures. He will always remain our family photographer!! Make sure you book him!"

"Samuel and team did an awesome job at my Indian style wedding! He's a true professional and we were so impressed with his skills in photography. He captured every moment beautifully, even our South Indian traditional customs that tend to get hectic and a little confusing! But he quickly adapted and it all went smoothly. Also, his editing skills and style is amazing, that's the main reason why I chose this team. He's also a very sweet person and made all the guests feel happy and comfortable! I highly recommend Samuel and his team."
