Andy Sams Photography

Photographer

Hello! Faith, here, Andy’s wife and second shooter. We’ve had a long absence on this blog mainly due to the fact that Andy has been doing a lot of corporate and conference event work and we’ve been knee deep in community impact work. We try to stick to wedding material on this blog but perhaps it’s time to branch out. Andy is now on the District Advisory Council for AISD (Austin Independent School District); he has been on several committees tasked with increasing diversity in East Austin schools; we’ve been working on and succeeded in bringing the first public Montessori program to an AISD school; Andy is co-vice president of the University Hills Neighborhood Association and has been sinking his teeth into more initiatives that I can remember at the moment! Needless to say, we stay really busy between all of our volunteering and hanging out with our 2 year old daughter February.

I've been photographing weddings, events, portraits and commercial photography in Austin since 2009.Professional photography was a natural choice for me. I'm an art history major with an eye for lighting and composition. I'm trained in improv and can make any individual or couple feel comfortable and enjoy their experience behind the lens. I also have a mechanical mind and can really get the most out my Canon Mark III's. Read more

    We had a wonderful experience with Andy Sam and his wife Faith. We chose The Storybook package that includes 6 hours of coverage, an engagement photoshoot, a custom designed album, 90 day online gallery and $150 print credit. We love our photos!!! They are artistic, they capture the people and the spirit of the wedding and the Sams are just great relaxed awesome people who happen to be professionals at wedding photography. ...

    Andy is amazing! He did our engagement photos (unfortunately he is booked for our wedding) but it was the BEST first experience at professional couples photography. I was really worried as neither me or my fiancee are the "photo type"...or so I thought. Andy spent the time to get to know our preferences, went as far as to help me pick out outfits (I over-prepared with too many options, and under-prepared by not prioritizing myself). All in all he made us feel incredibly comfortable, natural, un-poised, and while cliche - in love! On his part it seemed effortless and uncontrived.

    We used Andy for all our of photography - Engagement photos, bridal portraits, and the wedding/reception. What I loved was, he was always on time to every appointment we had and always came with a game plan. For our engagement photos, we gave him a general area in Austin that we wanted to have them done and before our appointment he went around the area and scouted out potential locations - we loved every single one of them ...

    I feel so lucky to have had Andy as our wedding photographer. My husband and I knew instantly he was the photographer we wanted. He was extremely friendly from the beginning and so incredibly helpful. Whenever we had a question, he was quick to answer and was very clear that the lines of communication are always open. ...
