Real talk: planning a wedding in NYC can be overwhelming. There are a zillion vendors for every possible aspect of your wedding that you might be into, and whittling down the possibilities that exist within your vision and your budget is a formidable task. Enter Samantha Gore Photography, who stands out in the crowd simply because she dares to deviate. Where you might find plenty of photographers who are into overexposure and wistful gazes in a field (which is lovely), or moody intense shots that kind of ache (equally delightful), Samantha Gore is into saturation and color and photos that have so much utter JOY in them that you can feel it.
Samantha Gore is great at a good many things, but when it comes to turning an everyday moment into a portrait that you’re going to cherish, she sings. Stiff family photos that everyone grimaces through are a thing of the past—with Samantha Gore you’ll get family and wedding party portraits that actually look like the people you know and love. You’ll see your brother’s polite but “OMG can we just get this over with” face, or your dad’s “Wait a second, WHAT did she just say?” face in all of their respective glory… kind of like this:
You know something else that’s kind of incredible about Samantha Gore? Getting these kind of shots (at least 250 of them, to be precise) for $2860, AKA a straight-up steal the in the New York wedding world. The rest of her wedding packages are equally awesome:
8 hours of wedding coverage for $3440:
- 350 retouched high-res images
- Images available for preview and download
- A second photographer
- Engagement session
10 hours of wedding coverage for $4110:
- 450 retouched high-res images
- Images available for preview and download

Plus Samantha Gore offers tons of extra options, including an additional hour of coverage ($300), stand-alone engagement sessions ($400), and fifty-page handcrafted archival wedding albums ($650). If your wedding guests total fifty or less, you can drop the second photographer and subtract $400 from any of the above wedding packages.
