Samuel was recently featured in PDN’s annual “Top Knots” winners gallery. Featured with some of the finest wedding photographs of the year, Samuel’s image of Ira & Andrea in Brazil made it to the best of “Ceremonies” category. Pick up a copy of the May edition of PDN to see for yourself! Our studio is honored and humbled to be apart of such a great line up of photographers.
Samuel had the honor of photographing a young and gorgeous couple in their own Dallas backyard.
Here’s the teaser. Perrier-Jouët helps bring this image to life.
Amy & Jason’s wedding day was perfect. A blend of classic style, laid back confidence and perfectly planned events played into this wedding being one of the most beautiful and elegant events to date.
Vibiana was the perfect location for this downtown LA wedding ceremony & reception. I love this location, the history, the ornate designs and the 100′ ceilings made my job more enjoyable.
Beth of Beth Helmstetter Events did a fantastic job with her team of planners. Everything was planned so smoothly and coordinated to perfection.
Enjoy these photos from Amy & Jason’s dream wedding day.

Emily & Eric had their perfect destination wedding weekend. An island wedding on Maui with their 20 closest friends and family members.
Shooting photos in Hawaii is a dream, I was so honored to be a part of this beautiful wedding celebration.
Emily & Eric are some of my favorite people, their wedding was so enjoyable to me and my assistant.
Enjoy these images and get to hawaii as soon as possible, you won’t regret it.

A beautiful breeze on a warm southern California day set the mood for this graceful and elegant wedding. Terrenea Resort has the perfect backdrop, a coastal 180º view, stunning sunsets and a beautiful beach. Nisie’s Enchanted florist did a stunning job with the event design and floral, Carolyn Chen of The Special Day planned and coordinated the day to perfection. (Love her!) Adam Sjoberg had his team of videographers from Ira Lippke Studios (Hard to beat that brotherly connection). Jennifer & Mark were beautiful together and couldn’t have been more romantic. They were stunning to shoot because of their amazing chemistry, great smiles and of course their excitement for their new marriage. Refreshing to see such energy.
Enjoy some of the images from their day.

* Shot as 2nd Shooter for this wedding.
The lovely couple was married at Pelican Hill Resort in Southern California in front of their family and closest friends.
Intimate,elegant and timeless this wedding day had the right ingredients.
I love the simple, understated and relaxed tone of this wedding. We love working alongside Pelican Hill’s staff and a great coordinator like Kerrie Underhill. It makes such a big difference when staying focused and working hard to get the best photos possible. Elysium Production did the videography, they are skilled and so great to work with.
It was my honor to have been apart of Sophia & Jeff’s perfect day. Their wedding Album is going to be so gorgeous!
(I love Sophia’s style and playful attitude towards life)

Darby & Andrew wanted their Engagement photos to reflect their lifestyle. Living in the Bowery in Midtown Manhattan, enjoying the shops in their bustling and lively neighborhood
These images came on the first day of snow in New York City, we couldn’t have timed it better.
These two were so much fun to photograph, I can’t wait for their wedding day this summer in San Francisco!
We hope you enjoy this snow day engagement shoot.
(Straight from our shoot, Darby & Andrew went to the Knicks game. What a perfect day!)
