Meet YOUR CATHOLIC
& CHRISTIAN Wedding PHOTOGRAPHER:


samantha cross

I’m Samantha, the photographer behind Cross Photography LLC. As an attorney turned full-time Catholic photographer, I bring a discerning eye for storytelling and composition, with an appreciation for the faith-filled moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.


Founded in 2025, Cross Photography LLC is guided by one purpose: capturing memories for His glory. I believe your wedding day is more than an event—it is a sacred beginning, woven together through vows, tradition, faith, and the people who surround you.


Thank you for being here. I invite you to discover more of my story, or continue exploring my work and the heart behind Cross Photography.

AFFILIATED WITH

Your wedding day is more than a beautiful celebration. It marks the beginning of a vocation, a lifelong calling to love, to give freely, and to walk together in faith. It is the threshold of a shared life shaped by grace, sacrifice, joy, and the daily choosing of one another that allows a marriage to flourish in the image of Christ.


My work seeks to preserve more than the beauty of the occasion. I want your photographs to hold the deeper significance woven throughout it: the vows spoken, the prayers offered, the traditions carried forward, and the people gathered to witness your covenant. These become part of a visual legacy that extends far beyond the wedding day, itself.

My Art: WHere nostalgia meets modern romance

 

Inspired by the character of photographs from another era, with their softness, grain, and unmistakable sense of romance, this approach brings that feeling into the modern wedding day through clean composition and an editorial perspective.


The result is imagery that feels romantic without being overly polished, editorial without feeling stiff, and nostalgic without looking dated. Beautifully composed photographs retain the natural emotion and character of the people, places, and moments that made the day uniquely yours.

Why I Photograph Weddings on 35mm Film & Super 8


From the golden age of analog photography to the home movies of the 1960s and beyond, film has a warmth and character that I love. The grain, softness, and little imperfections give photographs a sense of nostalgia and intimacy that feels genuine and lived in.


I pair film with digital photography intentionally, bringing together the nostalgic beauty of film with the clarity and versatility of digital. The result is a collection of photographs that feels romantic, refined, and true to the atmosphere of your wedding day.


35mm — Where your love stands still.

Super 8 — Where your love comes alive.

"We were blown away with Samantha's work! She has such a natural ability to capture real, emotional moments in a away that feel effortless, romantic, and  timeless. She blended in so seamlessly throughout our wedding day, yet somehow managed to catch so many intimate moments we didn't even realize were happening. Her talent and eye for storytelling truly stood out, and we feel incredibly blessed to have these photos forever."

LOVE NOTES

"I have never felt more glamorous, and yet, so simply me..."


"Sam has an eye for capturing stunning shots that you didn't even know where possible! Throughout my session, she was eminently kind, encouraging and affirming. She is so wonderful to work with and I have never felt more glamorous, and yet, so simply me. Once my gallery was delivered, it looked like an old black and white film transformed into beautiful technicolor."
