About Me
Hi, I’m Sam.
I’m an Omaha-based wedding photographer, husband, and dad. Family is a pretty big part of life these days, and most of my time tends to revolve around them.
When I do manage to sneak away, I’m usually doing something active or outdoors. I’ve coached basketball, still play volleyball, and over the past several years I’ve gotten especially hooked on multi-day canoe trips and camping. I like the planning and technical side of those trips almost as much as being out there, which probably says something about how my brain works.
Photography has always appealed to me for a similar reason. There’s a technical side to doing it well, but what keeps me interested is much less technical: people, emotion, timing, and the challenge of making photographs that actually feel like the day they came from.
My Approach
On a wedding day, I try to be calm, prepared, and easy to have around.
Most of the time I want to give people room to be themselves and photograph things as they naturally happen. When portraits, family photos, or the schedule need a little direction, I’m happy to step in and keep things moving.
My goal is for the photography to feel like an important part of the day without making the day feel like it revolves around photography.
I’m based in Omaha, Nebraska, and I’m always happy to travel.
If you’re planning a wedding and think we might be a good fit, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
