i enter every year with fear that it could be my last. not because i’m tired of it (far from it), but because i wake up in disbelief that i’m able to do this for a living. it’s a fiercely competitive industry that outdoes itself every season.
based on my blogging frequency you might think i worked less than ever this year – but the opposite is true. i touched down for 50 weddings and a handful of workshops across spain, trinidad and tobago, palm springs, liverpool, vegas, orlando, detroit, cleveland, st louis, milwaukee, calgary, vancouver, rome, nyc, raleigh, mexico, amsterdam, glasgow, belgium, seattle, new zealand, minneapolis, kitchener, london, farnham, eastern shore, florida again, upstate NY, nashville, joshua tree, durham, and of course most were simply at home in washington dc, baltimore, virginia.
i value each and every person that works with me. i don’t care what you look like, what your wedding looks like, or where your wedding is located. commissioning a photographer takes trust, collaboration, and heart. if you’ve got that – you’re all set. these images are as much the people in them as they are me, and i can’t thank you enough.
I love the images, but mostly, I just love your heart for what you do. What you wrote speaks volumes. You taught us at Heck Yeah to think outside the box and try new things! You inspire me to push myself and to have fun with it. Happy new year, Sam!
It has been great following your work over the last year, as well has meeting and learning from you in your Durham workshop! Looking forward to seeing what you bring in 2017!
Seriously inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for another year of continued inspiration.
Sam, you are an awesome photographer and your photos delight every person looking at them, specially those in it. And on top of that, among many things, you are an inspiration to us all photographers. If I could follow the work of a single photographer, that would be you.
Now, if we could make Nathan’s voice on the podcast sound like Darth Vader you are golden for the entire year.
Have a great 2017!
