- Molly
Sam and Petie are both the sweetest and the most genuine people you'll ever meet. They truly captured all the special moments of that day.
What started as a favor, turned into a full-time passion for serving couples and families to provide lasting, tangible memories. For over a decade, we have refined our experience and style to provide true storytelling and memories that lead to being displayed instead of scrolled through on a phone.
With Jesus at the center of our lives and Business Hospitality degrees from Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!), we’ve built an experience grounded in warmth, service, and genuine connection.
We’ve been "Sam + Petie" since we were sixteen. Photographing the beauty and depth of love has never lost its meaning for us... and it never will.
Meet the Tuckers
legacy
The Tucker family crest, as our logo, represents heritage, family unity, and a legacy that leaves an impression. Just as a crest symbolizes generations coming together and a belonging to something greater than ourselves, our work celebrates the joining of two families through marriage. A beautiful reminder that the moments we capture today become part of your lasting story.
The experience always comes first. We create an environment for you to be fully present so that genuine connection can shine through. By getting to know you ahead of time, we are intentional when it comes to knowing what matters most, with easy, positive guidance, and plenty of encouragement along the way.
our APPROACH
Your memories deserve more than a digital scroll; they deserve to be celebrated in your home. We help you transform memories into custom-Framed Wall Art and Heirloom Albums, designed to be treasured and a wow-factor in your home for generations to enjoy.
our BELIEF
Classic imagery edited in a timeless, true-to-color way. We prompt you to connect through approachable posing and prompts that engage movement and light in ways that flatter your natural character.
our STYLE
the best part of every summer is spending a week with the tucker family
Beach Week
We splurged on a Breville and totally ruined coffee shop runs for ourselves. Turns out... it's just better when we make it!

Their talent, professionalism, and warmth made them an integral part of our wedding day. We were blown away by the quality and artistry of their work. Friends and family have both said the photos are some of the most beautiful pictures they have ever seen.
They captured the essence and emotion of the day perfectly.

"but i got it on sale"
With golden retriever energy, she's an extroverted creative and cheeky risk-taker who has all the (expensive) entrepreneurial ideas. You can count on her to bring lighthearted joy and words of encouragement as a photographer and friend. Her new life goal is to become the house in the neighborhood that all the kids and their friends feel at home in.
Her favorite part of being a Wedding Photographer? Witnessing profoundly beautiful family connections, the happy tears from overwhelm, the way the newlyweds instinctively hug after they kiss. The countless "this feels like a dream" surreal moments, and leaving a wedding day knowing that their marriage is going to be one that is full of joy.

college football fan
fixer of all problems
A southern gentleman and natural creative in all elements of his life. He's wildly organized, fiscally way too responsible, an avid duck + turkey hunter... and since becoming a girl dad, he has now cried at atleast three recent weddings.
Lately, he's experimenting with 35mm film, taking stills with a drone flyer, and making sure every story is seen from all sides with artistry and intention. Whether he's planning an adventure for his family or teaching modern technology to our boomer parents, he's the guy who makes the magic happen.
Turns vision into reality, all for his girls.
