You're here because that fire in your heart told you there's a better way to do this. Maybe you're eloping or maybe you're a female filmmaker ready to walk the alternate path--whatever your calling is, you were meant to land here.
Let's open a portal to something truly life changing.
“Truly, finding her was one of the greatest blessings.”

“Working with Sam was one of the best decisions we made.”

I see you. You've always felt different--too sensitive, too intuitive for this industry. That difference isn't weakness; it's your sacred calling. You're meant to witness love as ceremony, not just capture events. Your feminine gifts are your superpowers, and it's time to remember who you truly are beneath all stories you've collected about who you should be.
Trust the guidance that brought you here. Trust the stirring in your soul. Trust that you're exactly where you need to be.
You want to be truly seen on your wedding day, but not in the traditional sense. You want to elope not because you want to run away or escape expectations--it's a calling from your souls. After filming hundreds of traditional weddings across the globe, I discovered the profound magic of intimate ceremony. I only film elopements because this sacred choice deserves a witness who understands its significance.
Together, we'll craft your perfect day and preserve your love as heirloom art and visual medicine.
This isn't about starting something new--it's about reconnecting with something integral and ancient. Women have always been the keepers of sacred stories, the guardians of what matters most. The Universe conspired to awaken this calling in us, and now I help other women and couples reclaim this magic in their own beautiful unique expression and soul gifts.
You're here because your soul knows this truth.
I'm SAMANTHA — SAM TO AWAKENED HEARTS. i'm 1/3 EMOTIONAL GENERATOR, SACRED STORY KEEPER, ANIMAL LOVER AND WORLD WANDERING ROMANTIC.
My mission goes beyond creating films--it's awakening women to their sacred calling as Sacred Story Keepers. Every weird, beautiful way that makes you different is your gift preparing you for this work. I'm here to help you trust the stirring in your soul, leave behind others' stories about who you should be, and come home to your authentic power.
With nearly 20 years of film and authentic story telling under my belt, I've combined my knowledge and soul gifts to create a space where other is embraced and heart is honored over all else.
“She felt like a sister and a mom. There, holding our hands through nerve racking moments and capturing them for us to have for forever.”
