Growing up, I was a sensitive kid. It might have something to do with being a Cancer, but I have known I have always loved the idea of being in love. Many years spent in the school yard, pursuing that special girl with flowers and chocolates to win her heart. It always filled my heart with great acclamation to hear the word, “yes”. Fast forward a few years, it is now my weekly duty to hear the ultimate “yes” and capture the experiences on your special day. My job is to be a storyteller, to show the whole world the last leg of your journey as engaged to that married couple full of adoration. I love what I do, there isn’t anything else I would rather do than document every detail, from those nervous pre-ceremony jitters, to that first sweet embrace as a married couple, to those many tears mom will shed on your day. Let’s all travel on this excursion.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Wedding Photographer,
Sam
Here are some random facts about me.
1. I went to The University of Texas to get a B.S. in Chemistry, science rocks!
2. Before I found photography, I was a sushi chef. I think i’ve made enough California Rolls for a lifetime, but I don’t think I ate enough.
3. I am starting to get into traveling. I have been to 18 states and went to Canada this year. I will go to Jamaica and Mexico by the end of the year. Next year, maybe Southeast Asia?
4. Years before Man vs. Food rage, I tried to eat a 72 oz steak at The Big Texan in Amarillo. It comes with the steak, a big baked potato, roll, shrimp cocktail and salad. 12 oz remained on the plate, I will have my revenge someday.
5. I love social networking and becoming friends with my clients. So add me on facebook and twitter.
6. I was born in Kansas. When I was nine, my mom got a job in El Paso and we moved there. I am so glad we did, it’s where I found my love of Carne Guisada, Tres Leches, and Horchata.
7. To see all my travel and personal work, visit here..
8. I one time bought a Film Camera just to impress a girl, needless to say it worked.
9. I am a major foodie, there is nothing I wouldn’t at least try once, except Soylent Green.
10. The real reason I became a wedding photographer, free cake
