Countless Moments Lead To One
In every sense, this moment is miraculous. A boundless web of possibilities, branching every which way, finally leads you two into a moment of pure conviction and elation. I create photos grounded in the sensations that define your wedding day. No trends, no unorthodox posing, no excessive time away because in truth, this day goes fast. I exist for you in so much as I am needed, and with the sole intent of allowing you to relive these moments with clarity many decades from now.
Wedding Photography by Sam Bugas
My Style: A Visual Journal of Your Day
I make photos with an ageless intent, developing a theme for each wedding that is entirely rooted in the ebbs and flows of the day. I always have, and always will, photograph as a means to remember the feelings and sentiments of a moment. This means my photos do not follow trends, and they are not overly edited. My intent is to blend the border between digital, film, and memory, such that each photo shows on your screen, gallery, or wall as it does in your mind.
The Experience
How much time have you spent waiting for this day together? How unbelievable is it that so many moments have led you to this one? In truth, your big day has a lot of moving parts, just like the many days that brought you here. As you feel the swelling in your heart, the tears building behind your eyes, the burn of a pre-ceremony whiskey shot, you won’t have to think about me. I will be there, telling your story in a way that I know you’ll want it told many decades from now. By this day, we’ll have crossed our T’s and dotted our I’s together, and all that’s left is for you to lean into these fleeting moments made so special by the simple fact that they only happen once.
10, 25, or even 50 years from now, when you open the aging pages of your wedding album, my pictures will guide you to the feelings felt on your precious day…
My Intentions:
To come to know you, your partnership, and your desires for your special day.
To be present in every moment, not just as a documenter of each, but as a friend and resource to lean on.
To listen, to adapt, to plan, and to execute without adding an ounce of additional concern or stress to your day.
To leave you as much time FOR YOU on your wedding day.
To be available and responsive from first contact until photos are delivered.
To accurately and completely tell the story of your big day, so that you can revisit it with emotional clarity for the rest of your days.
