Documentary-Style Photography for adventurous lovers

Hi, my name is

Sam

Buffalo, NY and Beyond

I’m a 24 year old photographer with a love for new adventures, new people, and new places. Behind my camera is one of my favorite places to be! I always aim to go above and beyond, serving my couples however I can. You’ll quickly find I turn into your biggest hype girl the moment you step in front of my camera.

Hi there! I’m so happy you’re here

Here’s a bit about me…

I received an AAS in Photography from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, where I started in portraiture and landscapes. While in school, I assisted in a wedding and FELL IN LOVE. Taking photos of a loved-up couple on their wedding day just filled me with the happiness and giddiness I was missing in my other projects. I shifted gears, got my Bachelors in marketing, and started taking myself and my business more seriously. Cue graduation (AKA May 2020...AKA hello COVID), I took a leap of faith, running Sam Renaud Photo full time in an era where all large events were cancelled. Fast forward to now with over 50 weddings under my belt - I’m still just as in love as I was back then.
