Colorado Wedding Photographer

You want your day to be remembered for how it felt.
I’m Samuel — a photographer and storyteller drawn to the natural, poetic, and honest moments that make your story yours.

With 10+ years behind the lens and a diverse background, I bring a calm, intentional presence and an eye for what others might miss — the fleeing glances, wind-blown veil, and everything in between.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

‘‘Sam was our AMAZING photographer for our mountain wedding with close family and friends. I really wanted a film forward wedding and Sam delivered! The film photos are my favorite! 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.’’ — Molly, Breckenridge Bride


Because how it felt matters more than how it looked.
Your wedding day will go by faster than you expect.
The small glances, the inside jokes, the late sun hitting your partner’s face just so — these are the things you’ll want to remember.
That’s what I’m here for.

I’m not just showing up with a camera.
I’m showing up with care, calm, and a sense of what truly matters.
With over a decade behind the lens and a background in visual storytelling, I approach weddings with an eye for the unposed and the unsaid. I document what’s real — not just what’s expected.I’ve been told I bring a grounding presence. That I help couples feel at ease, even if they “hate being photographed.” That I make space for the magic to unfold naturally.
And that’s the greatest compliment I can get.

Why film? Why hybrid?
Because it slows things down. It asks me to be intentional — to shoot when the moment is truly worth capturing.
Film has this quiet nostalgia to it. A softness, a depth. When paired with the precision and speed of digital, it creates a visual story that feels whole.
You deserve photos that reflect your story the way it felt.
Not a highlight reel — a living memory.

The experience matters, too.
From the moment you inquire to the moment you receive your gallery, I’m here to help you feel taken care of — not overwhelmed.
Whether you’re planning a multi-day Aspen celebration or an intimate mountain elopement, I adapt to your energy and environment.
Need help building a timeline that honors golden light?
Want space to breathe in between portraits?
I’m in your corner for all of it.
