  Expert and professional

  What can I say about Sam! I had the pleasure and honour of having her shoot my initiate wedding ceremony and she surpassed all my expectations from start to finish. I worked with her pre-shoot and her communication was always on point. She worked with my fiancé and I to ensure the contract reflected our interests. On the day of, she was early and she came fully prepared to fulfill my vision for the day with notes and reference to what we had spoken about. I love her creativity and how she is able to execute it in such an effortless way.
  
  I love the natural, candidness of all the photos. It’s like she was a fly on the wall. Her expertise in capturing these moments didn’t make us feel awkward or like we had to worry about being in the right position or getting our good side. She just KNOWS where to move and where to be! At the same time, Sam is very intuitive which I think helps with her work. Although she was excellent at being discreet and not invasive during, the event, she was at the same time, so helpful with little things such as my veil, and my shoes, and checking in to make sure I was not stressed during the event. This was above her duties, but I appreciated it so much!
  
  Same was super professional and timely in every area. I’m writing this review shortly after only seeing my previews and I can’t stop looking at the pictures. I can’t wait for the rest! Thank you so much Sam, you are a gem!!

  Natasha!
  
  These words have rendered me speechless as I know it came right from the heart. Thank you for taking the time to write this astounding review - I had no idea how all these small actions throughout the day meant to you. I'm extremely happy that I was able to provide an easy going experience for you, from fiancé to wife!
  
  Thank you for having me capture your day and for making me feel right at home. It was an honour to photograph and witness such a powerful romance (those vows were absolutely riveting!) Working with you and your husband has been a beautiful journey and I cannot wait to see the rest of your chapter unfold as husband and wife.
  
  Now that your photos are ready, I hope that you're enjoying all those sweet moments with your loved ones. Until next time! :)
  
  
  Your Photographer,
  Sam

  Flexible, Friendly, Fabulous!

  Sam was patient, kind and made us super comfortable! Working with her for our engagement photoshoot was a breeze.
  
  Due to inclimate weather, we had to postpone our shoot. She was so helpful and flexible with securing another date.
  
  We were super committed to taking our photos at a specific location; she found amazing spots to take our photos. I highly recommend Set Sail Bridal!

I loved that we were able to get the most amazing weather and stuck with our original location. Thank you for putting your trust in Set Sail Bridal.

  Engagement Photo Session

  My fiance and I had the wonderful pleasure of having Sam capture our engagement shoot! Born and raised in Toronto and now in the west coast, I really wanted photos that would show my home town (CN Tower & the skyline of course). She knew from the start exactly what my vision was and executed and captured it to the tee. She is so unbelievably talented and very well knows how to really work a camera! I could not believe how our shoot turned out! We were absolutely blown away by the photos - especially given how windy of a day it was, I was so worried about how I would look. Seeing the end result, you wouldn't even know how cold I was that day. She was able to capture every angle and use the wind to our advantage (yes - kinda looked like models lol). She also knows how to make anyone feel super comfortable in front of a camera - I for one know I can be very awkward. We are really excited to share these with our family and friends - although she provided us with so many pictures we can't even narrow down which ones we love best! I only wish I lived in Toronto still so she could capture all our milestones. Thank you so much Sam for being apart of this for us, you made it so very special. Keep doing what you're doing cause it definitely is your calling!

  Lutfiyya!
  
  Where do I begin!!! From the moment you inquired my heart was racing with excitement - I'm beyond ecstatic to know that your vision was brought to life in your photos with your city you've known your whole life. Trust me, you two really know your angles when it came to the wind that day - 100% model status! Thank you for taking the time to illustrate your experience with me and for making me sound superhuman haha! I can see that you and your fiance are going to have an amazing journey together and it's only the beginning! If I ever write a novel, I'm definitely going to need you write my synopsis! I know for a fact we will see each other again, until then! :)

  Highly recommend Set Sail Bridal to capture your moment!

  Sam at Set Sail Bridal is simply wonderful to work with. She is professional, kind, organized, creative and has an eye for detail. I had the pleasure of working with her for my bridal mehndi photoshoot and she was amazing. She came on time, ready with her equipment and photographed all the decor, the guests, the food, and all the small details of the special day. She captured many magical moments amongst family and friends and the photos turned out STUNNING! Sam was very prompt with her turnaround time, and clear with what she would deliver. I really enjoyed working with someone so happy and with good vibes and who could take the lead on what was important. I feel like she will be my go-to photographer for many events to come in the future. Working with Sam was seamless, from the moment I met her, she was very welcoming, professional and I could tell that she had a great work ethic, as it shows in her overall brand and final product. I highly recommend working with Set Sail Bridal as you will have a wonderful experience capturing such an important life moment like I did!

  A moment in time that will last forever

  Sam was an absolute dream to work with!
  She teamed up with our videographers, our friends Sajini and Justin from Restless Media to capture our wedding day.
  She was so kind, friendly and very professional making sure my vision for a gothic moody wedding theme would come to life, while still making sure our family and love ones would still love the photos and share to their social media.It was a perfect blend.
  I am use to working behind the camera and my husband is very camera shy as well as our family. Sam’s was so welcoming with her contagious personality and made sure everyone was very comfortable and confident.
  She went above and beyond to capture beautiful candid moments - such as our 1 year old flower girls exchanging laughs and bracelets while I was taking my solo shots.
  She also captured moments of family members and friends being so excited and happy for the wedding.
  I can truly say her photos told a story, our love story. With every kiss, smile, laugh, hug, and embrace.
  We highly recommend her as a photographer, and cannot thank her enough for capturing a moment in time that will last forever.

  Nothing short of amazing!

  If you’re looking for a photographer look no further! Sam is absolutely amazing! She is professional, patient, and so kind! My fiancé is very camera shy and awkward but she made us so comfortable. We are in love with the photos and will definitely be booking her again! Such a talented photographer 💕

  The positivity and energy Sam/Set Sail Bride will bring to your wedding day is everything you will need.

  We had an amazing experience with Sam at Set Sail Bride. As a COVID bride, having a small intimate wedding was never our plan. But, life happens and thankfully we had Sam because she captured our wedding so beautifully that you’d never know.
  
  Besides Sam being extremely talented and professional, she brought so much positivity to such a hectic/stressful day. As someone who is very uncomfortable around cameras, having her energy around made this whole process natural and enjoyable.
  
  Our photos left us speechless and we are so enamoured with how everything turned out. I can’t thank Sam enough for capturing these memories we will have for a lifetime.

  Thank you for taking the time to encapsulate your experience with me on your wedding day. I'm honestly filled with the utmost gratitude knowing you enjoyed your wedding day and your photos! Our connection over HipHop music while you were getting ready is something that will forever be engraved in my memory #WoopWoopItsTheSoundOfThePolice! Your intimate wedding had so much love in the room and both of you looked like you came from the Oscars all red carpet-ready, those smiles and laughters meant everything!!! Hope to see you again soon! :)

  Hiring Set Sail Bridal was the best wedding decision!

  I'm not sure where to begin with Set Sail Bridal.. but we received our wedding photos earlier this week, and I was in tears, multiple times. Sam and her team did such a phenomenal job of capturing our day exactly as it happened, and while I couldn't be in 10 places at once, somehow Sam was. Wedding days are so jam packed, but the Set Sail team captured every aspect and detail, going above and beyond anything we imagined. I couldn't be happier with our choice of hiring Set Sail to capture our wedding day. Not only was Sam easy to work with, flexible with all the ups/downs/changes that COVID brought, she was also thorough and patient. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day.
  
  Thank you so much, Set Sail Bridal, for absolutely exceeding our expectations and for doing such an amazing job of capturing our wedding!
