Get Lost in the Moment
it's time to
get in touch
I specialize in capturing weddings, couples, and families in a way that feels natural, honest, and effortlessly beautiful. Blending a documentary approach with traditional portraits, I focus on the in-between moments—the soft glances, quiet laughs, and fleeting touches—that make your story uniquely yours.
Timeless, Dreamy PHOTOS for EVERY SEASON OF LIFE
welcome to sam renaud photo
I am so passionate about documenting this incredible, ever-changing life and the experiences, connections, and memories that come our way. There's something truly magical about freezing a moment in time — capturing the laughter, the tears, the joyful chaos, and the quiet, tender glances that make up our stories. I believe in the power of photographs that feel genuine, honest, and true to who you are. I want you to be able to look back at these images years from now and not just see what the day looked like, but feel what it felt like. I serve couples in Buffalo, the Finger Lakes, ADK, and across the U.S.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Authentically documenting your most joyful moments
As a wedding photographer, I believe that all love is beautiful, powerful, and worthy of celebration. I’m deeply honored when couples trust me to capture their connection, and I hold that trust close to my heart. Your love—no matter who you are or who you love—is something I support and celebrate fully. I strive to create a safe and open space where everyone feels valued, respected, and seen exactly as they are.
Your love story deserves to be told with the utmost care and respect, and I’m here to honor that in every frame. Love is love here!
Your love is welcome here
