Hey!

I'm Samantha Brooks, but my friends call me Sam! I'm a Boston and Martha's Vineyard based photographer. I’m your personal hype girl and new bestie (yes, I’ll comment on all your instagrams).

Whether you’re looking to propose, get married or document your growing family, I’m here to help you through the whole process.

Lately life has been full of shooting weddings, engagements, proposals, families and much more and I’ve loved every second of it.

I’m so excited to capture your future memories!

The Experience

Long before I was I switched to the photography side of things, I was involved in the wedding industry. My incredible sister owns and runs Timeless Event Planning! Since college, I spent my weekends doing day-of wedding coordination on Martha’s Vineyard. After learning from the best, I decided to pursue photography, my life long passion.

I’ve also had the opportunity to work with a number of amazing photographers in Boston, on Martha’s Vineyard and beyond. Leaning from these incredibly talented people has helped me become the photographer I am today.

Years of experience on the wedding coordination side and working with other photographers has helped me understand the flow of a wedding day, create a thoughtful timeline, how to keep things on moving, capture meaningful moments and make sure you enjoy your big day! Also, not to toot my own horn, but I’m a pro at tying a napkin.

My Passion

My family is full of creatives. My mom’s a photographer and painter, my sister is a wedding planner and, well, my dad is a condo lawyer so he is his own type of creative. Anyway, creativity and being an entrepreneur is in my blood.

My first real introduction to photography was an intro to photo class in high school. Every free moment was spent behind my camera and I absolutely fell in love with it.

I stayed local and when to Boston University and graduated with a bachelor's in communications, specializing in advertising, from Boston University. After graduating, I poured my heart into working with local brands and creatives at an ad agency in Boston.

My passion for photography never faded and only grew stronger. I realized that ultimately photography was my calling. So, I put down my laptop, picked up my camera and I haven't looked back since!
