Working with Eighty Eight felt so effortless. Sam walked us through everything with ease and even helped us to set the foundation of our day-of timeline. He was honest with us and always had our best interest at heart. We knew we loved the style of their photography so we let Sam have creative freedom with the photos on our wedding day and the results were mind blowing. Even their methods of getting candid shots by playing games and telling jokes made the sessions that much more enjoyable. Their amazing work, professionalism, kindness and ability to handle whatever was thrown at them was incredible. So much so, that our bridal party and guests could not say enough about Sam. Weddings take an overwhelming amount of planning and it was so wonderful to feel completely taken care of with the Eighty Eight team there. We are beyond grateful to Sam for the best wedding photo experience. Much love to their team!

Choosing Sam as our wedding photographer was the easiest wedding decision we made. There is a reason why this company maintains a flawless rating. Sam made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. And not only did they capture breathtaking moments, but they provided invaluable resources that aided us in planning our day. Sam has blog posts covering all things wedding-related, which provided us advice and inspiration along the way. What truly was amazing was the swift turnaround time for our photos. Within 3 weeks, Sam presented us with a collection of images that exceeded our wildest expectations.
Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Sam to anyone seeking not just a professional photographer, but an artist who turns your wedding into a visual masterpiece.

We cannot recommend Eighty Eight Photo and Sam enough! Sam far surpassed all our expectations and dreams. From our very first meeting, Sam was a pleasure to work with and was very attentive and had great input into picture locations. Sam’s attention to detail, establishing a timeline, and coordination with our limo bus driver allowed us to have a stress-free wedding day. We heard countless comments from our family and guests about how nice the photographers were and how attentive they were in capturing the best moments of the evening. They even coordinated with the MOB during the reception to capture additional group photos she wanted of family and friends. And if that wasn’t enough, Sam had our pictures available for viewing in a matter of days which allowed us to have our first look at them during the final days of our honeymoon. Overall, we are very grateful that we found Eighty Eight Photo and are truly appreciative for Sam and his team.

Sam with Eighty Eight Photo photographed our engagement session and our wedding day. We can not say enough wonderful things about our experience! From our initial consultation meeting, we immediately knew that Sam puts his heart and soul into the work that he does, taking care to really get to know us as a couple. In the planning process, Sam offered us great tips and tricks to help our wedding day run as smoothly as possible. His expertise and experience are evident in the work that he does. Sam knows how to capture the joy of the day in stunningly artistic ways. We would recommend Eighty Eight Photo over and over again to any couple looking for not only amazing photos but a seamless vendor experience.

Our experience with them was 10/10. From our initial communication to our first meeting, engagement pictures, week of meeting and wedding day, Sam and his team are top notch. They are extremely fun to be around and make you feel very comfortable but most importantly deliver amazing images. We loved both our engagement and wedding photos and couldn’t have asked for better communication or professionalism. They are masters at their craft and I had absolutely no fear or hesitation hiring them. It’s an even better feeling when a friendship develops out of hiring a vendor. Can’t thank Sam and his team enough.

Sam was PHENOMENAL! If you want a photographer that does it all, you need Eighty Eight Photography. We wanted a mix of dramatic indoor pieces, natural outdoor moments, and candids and Sam captured them all and way better than we could have even imagined. My husband and I are not used to posing for pictures, but Sam made us feel comfortable with his great personality and creative instruction. His kindness and adaptability started at the first meeting, allowing us to meet over zoom since we lived far away. He really gets to know you as a couple so that he can capture what is most important to you. These qualities carried out to the day of the wedding and he put both of us at ease with his organization and ideas. In addition, he is DEDICATED, willing to stand in the rain for the perfect picture. Not only did he exceed expectations on the day of the wedding, he then got pictures back to us way faster than we expected! If we could give him a higher rating than the 5/5 stars, we would. We LOVED Sam!!!

Sam fit right in! They made the planning process a breeze and helped us through all the phases. Sam brought a relaxed, calm and friendly presence that made it easy for us and our guests to mesh with. The photos came back SO QUICK. Everyone was surprised - and they look amazing. I cannot express how happy we are that EightyEight was with us on our wedding day and they were able to capture the entire day beautifully.

Sam is incredible! He did our wedding in July, and he delivered incredible photos quickly, acted with such professionalism, and made the entire night more fun & memorable! My mother-in-law takes a lot of photos and knows about wedding photography, so when we were looking for a photographer, she had high expectations. Sam checked every box and went above and beyond what she imagined! Sam was very genial and friendly with my husband & me as well as our guests. He was flexible and rolled with whatever happened on the hectic day! He was also helpful with following the timeline and making sure things stayed on track. He kept the energy high and got great candid shots of us and our family and friends. My husband & I cherish the photos and can't wait to look back on them as the years go on! In the lead up to the wedding, he was very communicative and helpful, providing us tips for creating our timeline and ensuring things would go smoothly. On the day, he showed up early and stayed long into the party. I know Sam works diligently to provide his clients his best! My husband & I cherish his photos and can't wait to look back on them as the years go on!

Sam and the rest of Eighty Eight Photo made our wedding day effortless and so much fun. Our pictures capture the beautiful moments and memories from our big day and are so much more than the typical wedding pictures. They are flexible and inventive and creative. The absolute best decision we made!

We had an amazing experience with Sam throughout the entire process. He has a creative eye for dramatic and artistic photos, which was exactly what I was looking for. He was so easy to work with and really listened to what I envisioned and he not only made it come to life, he added much more I didn’t know I needed. As a person who is not comfortable in front of a camera, Sam made it feel fun and effortless putting me at ease the entire time and making me laugh. My biggest fear for my wedding was how would look in photos, and Sam nailed it making me look and feel beautiful. I was grateful for his direction during the shoot and his ability to spot the perfect places for the best photos. It is very obvious he loves his work and it shows in the final product

Sam was very helpful and easy to work with. He made the process of our wedding day extremely easy. He was helpful in finding locations for our photos, but more importantly made us feel comfortable throughout the day. The pictures that he took were incredible. They were a mixture of classic photos as well as more artistic photos which was exactly what we wanted. Could not recommend him enough!!

Sam and his team were fantastic to work with! The first time we met with him, we had such a blast getting to know each other and discussing our vision. That alone let us know that he was the right fit for our wedding. When it comes to actually shooting the photos, he has a great vision for beautiful and artistic shots. Not only that, but his fun personality and openness allows for the opportunity for innovative/experimental shots. He had a quick turnaround time for the photos and we couldn't be happier with the quality. You can't go wrong with EightyEight Photo!

Our expectations were high and they were far surpassed. Sam is extremely personable and he spent a lot of time with us to ensure he was prepared to capture the moments we were seeking, prepare the timeline, share his work and discuss venue options. Day of, they were timely and very fun to work with! Sam has a big personality and a knack for pulling out the right emotions from you when needed. The photos that they captured are stunning. Honestly, jaw dropping. They have a unique way in which they play with light that I was not fully anticipating, but believe me it will blow you away. I haven't seen other wedding photos like it. They ensured that they captured everything we needed through the reception and they delivered on sharing the photos well ahead of schedule. If you are looking for a photographer to provide photos that you can admire for life...look no further than Eighty Eight Photo!

Having Sam around was like having another family member around for our day, and we wouldn’t have had it any other way! He was always there to help with anything we needed, even if we didn’t realize we needed it. He also seemed to connect with all of our family and friends, leaving people complimenting him on how sweet and down to earth he was following our wedding! All of our guests loved Sam and couldn’t get enough!
It just seemed like a bunch of friends and family having fun! The photos they captured are out of this world and more than we could have ever dreamed of! We can’t thank Eighty-Eight Photo enough for capturing all the memories and love shared between us, our family, and all of our friends at our wedding! Thank you for being AMAZING! WE LOVE YOU!!!

" Better than Pizza! Very laid back, yet professional. He was very attentive to our needs/wants and made our day much less stressful. Not to mention, the pictures he took were absolutely stunning. I still can't believe some of the shots he got, let alone that my wife and I are in them! "

" We had a January blizzard wedding. 14+ inches from a storm they called "Harper", Google it.
Sam put on his big boy boots and turned bad weather into breathtaking blizzard pictures. The man is from Ohio, he's not going to be phased by a few feet of snow! So if you think he can't handle your exotic vacation wedding, get a life! Well, no. Get Sam. "

Sam added a much appreciated personal touch to all of his work, and managed to catch shots the whole family cherished. We cannot thank Eighty Eight photography enough for capturing our big day and would highly recommend them to all other brides who are lucky enough to book them! "
