I've had the privilege of being apart of 2 weddings that were shot by Sam and of all the weddings I've been apart of these two went as close to perfect as you can get. When you're in a wedding there's a lot going on and one of the dreaded things that comes along with the honor is taking pictures after the ceremony. Lets be honest, we'd rather be enjoying the cocktail hour rather than taking pictures.. However, with Sam shooting she has a natural way of being able to get everyone to focus, explain what she wants to do, set expectations for what's going to happen next and getting everyone to focus on the shots she wants to capture. The end results have been amazing, fun and brilliantly done photo's that we have all continued to enjoy years later. Sam is a true professional in every sense of the word and has a personality that makes her extremely likeable and easy to get along with. Her work speaks for itself and although I'm not married yet once we do "tie the knot" we will definitely be flying her across the country to Rhode Island to shoot our wedding. If you're looking for a very talented photographer, a professional, someone who will get along with your guest and capture amazing photo's from your once in a lifetime day; then congratulations you just found your photographer. read more

I found Sami through the OpLove website. She came to my husband's deployment homecoming to shoot our reunion, and delivered the photos on disc. I was stunned and wowed by her level of skill! She was virtually invisible in the background, snapping photos and capturing little moments I didn't even know she saw, like me talking with our two-year old and sharing a carnation with him, or both of us falling asleep curled up in blankets on the frigid pier! I was impressed with her attention to detail, ability to work with lighting in unique situations, and most of all her willingness to stay longer, do more family shots, urge us to take more pictures, and her friendly and affable demeanor. We became friends immediately! She visited our farm and started working for us as a farm photographer, shooting events and uploading the pictures within 24 hours to a DropBox account; perfect for posting to our various social media outlets. Sami is easy to work with, professional and a master of her lens. She quickly seeks out the story within the story and finds the heart of what is truly happening, a talent that goes beyond her immense technical skill. I recommend her to everybody looking for meaningful, high-quality photographs. read more

We've had multiple photo shoots with Sami and she's awesome! She's done Christmas family pictures for us, a maternity session, newborn photos, and a few mini sessions. Kids are notoriously difficult to get pictures of, especially with twins. She's worked wonders with getting awesome pictures of our kids. For the newborn session with our third baby, she even came back a second time to get additional pictures because we couldn't get too many good ones as my little one didn't want to cooperate the first day. The two mini sessions we did were just of the kids-2.5 year old twins and a baby. You can just imagine how difficult that is to get decent pictures with 3 kids that young! She did an amazing job in a short amount of time. I'm seriously bummed to be moving away from her area. We may have to visit just to get our youngest's 1 year pictures done by Sami!! I seriously cannot say enough good things about her and her work. read more

I've worked with Sami Roy photography on a number of projects over the last four years and am consistently impressed with the quality of Sam's work. As a PR and marketing pro, I've had the pleasure of representing clients in industries ranging from restaurants, casinos and resorts, to museums, beauty bars and fellow business pros, and Sam has consistently provided beautiful work, making my job that much more seamless. Her flexible and easy-going nature have led to shots I've been able to use in securing media coverage of a casino renovation, museum nightlife events, holiday-themed resort activities and intricate detail-shots for our resort event planners, just to name a few. Being both outgoing and detail-oriented, Sam has the skills to make her subjects comfortable for any shoot, and always pleased with the end result. I would recommend Sami Roy for any photography needs - whether professional or personal. read more

HIGHLY recommended! Sam shot my rehearsal dinner and wedding and did a fantastic job -- the pictures are incredible! She was great to work with, really got to know my style and what I was looking for beforehand. After working with a lot of wedding vendors, it was really nice to be in contact with someone who always responded to my emails quickly and answered all of my questions thoroughly. She made my husband and I feel super comfortable about having our pictures taken and is easygoing and fun so we were relaxed, and it really shows in the pics. She somehow managed to be totally unobtrusive yet shoot EVERYTHING -- she literally took 1000+ photos and was shooting by herself! She got the photos to us really quickly after the wedding too and worked with me to edit one that I used for my thank you notes. I am so so happy with my photos and would hire her again in a heartbeat. A++. read more

Sam shot our daughter's rehearsal dinner and wedding at our home and could not have been a better contributor to the overall success of the event. She managed to unobtrusively insinuate herself into the proceedings and captured them brilliantly. She got all the money shots and the obligatories, of course, but it takes a rare sensibility to hone in on literally hundreds of little telling moments and details that might otherwise have been gone forever. Beyond taking a bazillion shots (by herself) with an astonishingly consistent level of quality, she's just a great person to have around -- upbeat, indefatigable, collaborative, and always supportive. I would recommend Sam to anyone who for any purpose needs a stone pro photographer who's also a simply great human to be around. read more

I found Sami through an event where she was hired for a photo booth. After chatting with her, and looking at her sample pictures, I hired her to take pictures of my baby girl. Glad I chatted with her because I LOVVEED my pictures Sami did for my baby. She was very kind and friendly, and listened to all my crazy ideas for baby pictures. Though the baby did not want to crack a smile that day, she was still able to capture her personality and beauty. Babies are known for being difficult, and it takes a great photographer to have the patience and skill to be able to still capture something memorable! I will be using her services again for our 1 year old photos and any family photos we decide to take while we are in the area. I would highly recommend her to anyone!! read more

Sami did a wonderful job on our maternity pictures! This is our first baby and we were really worried that the pictures were just going to be kinda bleh but we were so surprised to find someone who did such a wonderful job. Sami even worked with us when the first date that we picked didn't work. The weather was so crappy and would have made for some...... not as nice.... photos. It was amazing knowing that she could work with our schedules since I work full time and my husband is in the military and not around often. We ended up picking a morning photo time and it worked out AMAZING!! I am so happy that I found Sami and I cannot wait until she does our newborn photo shoot come December, I know we won't regret it! read more

Sami Roy photography did my maternity shoot and what a fabulous shoot it was! I was concerned about being too nervous to get natural and easy looking shots but Sami helped my husband and me enjoy every moment. She even helped our dog feel comfortable! It was great to have a photographer willing to work with our pets. Sami had great ideas for all different sorts of shots and she was more than happy to take the time to travel to a few different locales with us. She was professional, courteous and obviously creative and artistic. I can't wait to get her back for whatever other photography shoots we need...maybe a first birthday cake smash? :) read more

LOVE Sami! We have had the pleasure of Sami photographing our kids several times over the past few years and can't say enough good things about her. To say my three year old is high energy may be an understatement but some how Sami can always capture her attention and get amazing shots! My kids were so comfortable with her and it absolutely has everything to do with her warm and friendly demeanor (also her willingness to go above and beyond to make my little ones giggle!) We were beyond happy with the results and will no doubt have her photograph our family again in the near future! read more

Sami photographed my wedding in June. I had some amazing vendors, but she was my favorite. When things started falling apart, as they do at a wedding, her patience and understanding made the stress seem to go away. I clung to her positive attitude throughout the night! She was a true professional and seemed to be everywhere at all the right times. To top it all off, the photographs were amazing! I was so lucky I found her. PS. When my lipstick got on my dress, she figured out how to get it off. Truly a jack of all trades!!!! read more

I would recommend Sami to anyone, and everyone looking for a photographer. Whether it be a maternity shoot, baby photos, weddings or even animals she never ceases to amaze me in the work she does. I have done maternity photos with her, and just recently with the arrival of the little one, baby photos; both with great results. I highly recommend Sami as your next photographer for 2 reasons... her work is great, and the time spent with her isn't too shabby either! You'll get great shots, and have fun too! read more

Sami did our engagement photos and they were so awesome!!! I absolutely loved working with her. I do not consider myself photogenic whatsoever, and Sami made both me and my fiance so comfortable, we had a great time during our photo shoot and looked awesome! They are, hands down, the best photos we have of ourselves, and I know I'm going to cherish them for a long time coming. Our relatives have even asked for copies to print and frame :) I highly recommend Sami for any of your photography needs! read more

Sami Roy Photography is a pleasure to work with! She has an amazing personality and came to our event very professional. Her photo booth was the highlight of our event! She came with props which were amazingly fun! The printouts were high quality and as the party host we got to keep a copy for us to enjoy after the event! I would not only recommend Sami Roy but we will be using her again! Ask to see her wedding books! She has amazing and takes great photos. read more

Sam did my wedding in El Cajon, CA and did an amazing job! She was so accommodating. My husband had to leave for military reasons soon after we booked her, so she took our engagement photos and sent them to us before he left. Sam was so dependable and I knew I could count on her to be at the wedding on time and I knew the pictures would turn out amazing. Which they did! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. read more

Samantha was both professional and personable and made the experience of taking wedding photos very enjoyable for all of us!! My daughter, the bride, loved her engagement shoot and results. And all the family enjoyed Sami at the wedding and reception. She was very responsive to my request that she be unobtrusive at the ceremony. And she was everywhere at the recption capturing the fun. I HIGHLY recomment her! read more

Sam is wonderful!!! She did such a fantastic job on the family pictures I needed for my business website and head shots!!! She knew just what I was looking for as far as background, lighting, and image, and scouted out a perfect place for us to do the shoot. Sam is a gifted photographer, with a warm and sweet personality- I would definitely hire her again for future photo shoots!!! read more

I worked with Sami for some headshots for work and I was extremely pleased with the final products. She was very professional, curteous and made me feel comfortable. I could tell right away she cares a lot about her work and pays close attention to detail. The photos looked great and I would definitely use Sami again in the future for any photography services. read more

We used Sami's photo booth for our Christmas party. It was a big hit and everyone enjoyed it. She arrived early and well prepared. The entire setup was done with class and care. She even brought props that were themed and some that were random so guests could really take advantage of the photo booth opportunity. I will definitely use her services again. read more
