Samos Photography

Rick is simply the best! We booked him for our wedding. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and easygoing. My husband and I arent good at posing but Rick helped us with that. Our wedding photos came out amazing! He caught every moment, Im convinced he has an identical twin because I dont know how he got so many good shots by himself! I could go on and on. Just book him already before someone else does

We met Rick a few years ago prior to getting engaged and then married. From the start, he made us comfortable. Which was big for my now husband, as he was super nervous for his first shoot ever. And of course, the photos turned out great! Since that first shoot, Rick has always been informative, with great communication (esp when I had questions) and open to new ideas. I felt heard with my ideas as well as being open to Ricks suggestions as we worked together. Next was our engagement shoot - gorgeous photos. Couldnt have asked for anything more. I was so excited to use them for our save the dates!! After that, I did a bridal boudoir shoot. I have done these before, but for those who havent - Rick was so professional and lets you take the reins on comfortability. At this point in time, I was also not physically where I wanted to be and I felt GORGEOUS during the shoot and was blown away by the pictures. They are now something timeless that I can look back on as my body changes and ages. Its an eternal value! On our wedding day, it was rainy. Which as a bride-to-be really bummed me out. But with Ricks experience, he gave us the best indoor location and it honestly could not have worked out any better for everyone. He also suggested to me early on to get our bridal party clear umbrellas in case it would rain - and they were so cute to see everyone walk around with! I could go on, but all-in-all, Rick does amazing work and is a great person. I constantly get compliments on our photos and people asking who did them. Next up: maternity shoot???

We cannot recommend Samos Photography highly enough. Our wedding was originally scheduled for May of 2020 - right at the start of the pandemic. Our large wedding was immediately cut to 10 people including my wife and I. Through all of the chaos, Rick was a constant steady force. He drove up to Cleveland where our wedding was originally planned, took AMAZING photos, and he had them to us within days. Then, through 2 other pandemic-related reschedules, Rick and Liz came back up to Cleveland to both photograph and film our reception. To say they went above and beyond would be the understatement of the week. This is all without mention of how comfortable they both made us feel throughout the photoshoot, how prepared they both were for rain during our engagement photo session and damp conditions during our wedding photo session. They were creative and spontaneous and adapted to an entirely new/unknown site for our reception photos. AGAIN - the photos and video turned out great and were linked to our inboxes within days. Our photos are proudly displayed all over our house and the shorter video has become a staple must-watch of all our (unexpectedly numerous) wedding anniversaries.

Rave review! Samos Photography videographed my best friends wedding on Dec 2nd. Just saw the video today and it is truly fantastic. Loving, fun, comedic. Truly checked every box you would be looking for. The videographer (Liz I believe) was so nice and really just blended in with the scene. Not sure if she also does the video editing, but whoever it is, Kudos. Truly greatful for the work done. Thank you.

We found Samos Photography online and immediately fell in love with their photography style. We had Rick and Liz do our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and video and could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out! Rick is insanely fast at returning the edited photos to you and also provides you with the raw footage as well (not all photographers do this!) All-in-all everything from the quality of the photos/video themselves, the level of service Rick and Liz provide, and the price of it all cannot be beat. I would happily recommend Samos Photography in an instant.
