about us

We, Samara + Evan, are a husband and wife photo + film team based in Newport, Rhode Island with our sweet little boy, Hudson, and our pup, Polly. Our ritual each morning starts with a cup of coffee and a walk through town. We’re believers in God and we value love above everything.

in our downtime we're...

Creating with our hands. Keeping things simple. Ev can usually be found playing guitar and rereading something written by Cormac McCarthy. Samara enjoys a good book, a swim in the ocean, and cooking up healthy food in the kitchen.

soaking up this sweet time in life. lots of laughter. lots of learning. 

We both love to travel. The beauty of earth, the excitement of waking up in a new place, making new friends and hearing their stories, finding the best spots for food + coffee, and of course, the photos we get to keep after the trip has ended.

We watch a lot of films and draw much of our inspiration from them.

And our favorite thing to do is open up our home to share a good meal.

how we shoot + what inspires us

Drawn to light and texture, we love to use them to create interesting and beautiful images. Whether we are outside in golden sunshine, seeking shelter from the rain, or on the cliffs by our home in the ocean state; no matter the condition, we find light always offers us an intriguing perspective and opportunity to create. 

our documentary approach is all about honest storytelling

Over time and years married, we have truly come to love and appreciate capturing weddings in particular. (You may find us tearing up at your ceremony). A day where the energy of love is magnetic. It seems every corner holds a photo waiting to be taken. We know many of the images we capture are moments our couples miss and it gives us so much joy to share them; to show them the beauty their love founded. Your gallery will make you smile, cry, laugh, and most importantly give you something tangible to see and hold, for years and generations to come. A reminder of what’s most important in life.
