  • A review for Samuel Marz Colorado Elopement Photographer

    Kayla & Jordan Colorado Elopement

    ‘‘Sam was so easy to talk to & helped us plan our entire timeline, location, & even gave us suggestions for other vendors (which were all awesome btw). There are a ton of local photographers out there, some may even seem "bigger" but I know we would have NEVER built a relationship with them like we did with Sam. I really do not have words for how amazing the entire experience was with Sam start to finish. We are so thankful!!!.’

  • Blue Lakes Breckenridge Colorado Elopement

    Kaitlyn & Dalton Colorado Elopement

    ‘‘When my husband and I decided to have an intimate ceremony at a time filled with uncertainty, Sam was there every step of the way. He helped two very camera-shy people feel comfortable in front of the lense for the day and put up with all my "cliche" questions about being a photographer. .’

  • A loveland Pass Elopement in the winter

    Megan & Jack Colorado Elopement

    ‘‘I can’t recommend him enough as a wedding photographer. While the pictures speak for themselves, our whole entire experience was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. The day of, Sam caught all of the most beautiful moments of our day. He was so easy to work with. Last thing - highly recommend adding on film photography to your package!!

  • A Colorado Telluride Elopement

    Hayden & Bowen Colorado Elopement

    The way Sam captures people and the world around him is creative, moving, natural and just downright beautiful. He helped us plan our dream elopement and he was reliable, helpful, and pleasant to work with every single step of the way. We never felt there was a lack of communication between us.

  • Engagement Photos at Loveland Pass Colorado

    Rachell & Nick Loveland Pass Engagement

    ‘‘Sam doesn't just take photos he creates magic! If you are considering an elopement, wedding, or engagement shoot in Colorado this is your sign to book him now. He was extremely professional and responded to all of questions and concerns in real time. There were no fake poses at all, everything was super natural, which really put us both at ease because we've never taken professional pictures before.

Kind Words

Sam was our AMAZING photographer for our small mountain wedding/elopement with close family and friends. I really wanted a film forward wedding and Sam delivered! the film photos are my favorite! He suggested a great ceremony location and he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Both me and my partner were not great at posing/ staging for photos and Sam helped us feel comfortable and confident.

Sam's experience really shined through as I was nervous since I had not planned all that much before hand and we had a lot of time for photos, but not a lot of structure with what to do with it.His communication before and after our wedding was fantastic. Not too much and he answered all of our questions. The photos themselves are perfect- I am thrilled!

There were no fake poses at all, everything was super natural, which really put us both at ease because we've never taken professional pictures before. Having a shoot done by Sam is really an experience and it's hard to put into words lol. We left that photoshoot feeling like we gained a friend rather than just working with a vendor. We requested a rush on some of our photos and received them in 2 DAYS! I am so happy to have these pictures that will last a lifetime. We are so pleased with our session and photos, that we intend to use him in the future. Sam, we love you and can't thank you enough!
- Rachell

He helped two very camera-shy people feel comfortable in front of the lense for the day and put up with all my "cliche" questions about being a photographer. He is a master at his craft and gave us the gift of photos that we can proudly display around our home and show off to our friends, family, or random strangers who heard about our "out-of-the-box" day! Sam, thank you SO much for everything you did for us. We truly could have not picked a better person to help us capture one of the most important days of our lives!
