I photographed Brian and Anastasia’s elopement 7 years ago, and took one of my all time favorite photos of them:

Well, Brian reached out to surprise Anastasia for their anniversary with another session in San Diego… and I’m so grateful that he did! It was incredible to wander around such a beautiful place and catch up with them after all these years <3

Starting as a political news and celebrity portrait photographer in DC, Sam was instantly drawn to wedding photography as a space to promote more inventive ideas. Sam’s focus is on photographic techniques that are deceptively simple but have the potential to transform difficult or uninspiring shooting environments into one-of-a-kind opportunities for every photo made.

Most reviews, technical write-ups, and other photo nerd content is posted first, and exclusively, over on his patreon.
