Thomas + Kelsey | Tulsa, Oklahoma

April 22, 2019 ~ Samantha Kurtz ~ Leave a comment

I loved photographing Thomas and Kelsey’s engagement session! Their session was freezing, like 26 degrees freezing. Like the grass was frozen, freezing. The cold did help create the overall mood Kelsey was looking for, so that was a huge win! I adore how these photos turned out. It proves that ANY season can photograph beautifully! Thanks, Thomas and Kelsey for being troopers for your session. I’m excited to photograph your wedding in October!

Forsander Family | Tulsa, Oklahoma

I loved photographing this sweet family! This was their first family session with the new addition of their daughters-in-law. I’m so glad they decided to update their family photos! Their session was full of laughter and throwing lots and lots of leaves at each other. Plus, that golden light is to die for. 😍 Thanks, Forsander family for letting me take your family photos!

Lynch Wedding | Tulsa, Oklahoma

April 11, 2019 ~ Samantha Kurtz ~ Leave a comment

Meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Lynch! They got married at The Pearl District Building on a chilly December day. This wedding was an absolute joy to photograph! Clay and Julie were googly-eyed for each other the entire wedding. It was precious! My favorite part of the wedding was Clay tearing up when he saw Julie walk down the aisle. (Seriously, it’s always my favorite part!) I also loved their willingness to follow my directions for the perfect photo. “Hey, let’s block off traffic in the middle of the road for a minute.” They were like, “OK, let’s do it!” Zero hesitation on their end. Thanks, Clay and Julie for being perfect clients!

Julie | Tulsa, Oklahoma

Say hello to the new Mrs. Lynch! Her wedding was yesterday, so I can finally post her bridals! Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous?! We had the perfect weather for her bridal session. Warm and no wind. Yes, NO wind in Oklahoma. That never happens! Julie’s dress looks incredible on her and that veil is breathtaking. I love how her photos turned out! So light and dreamy!

Kennedy | Tulsa, Oklahoma

Meet Kennedy! This sweet, bubbly senior was an absolute joy to photograph! Her session was freezing, like 26 degrees cold. I was wearing my heaviest jacket and gloves and she was rocking a light sweater and jumpsuit for half of the session. She was a trooper! Despite the cold temperature, I love how her photos turned out. We roamed around The Pearl District stopping anywhere and everywhere that looked like a good photo spot. It reminded me a lot of when I first started my business (almost 10 years ago!) because that’s how my sessions would go. We’d roam A LOT. Thanks, Kennedy for letting me take your senior photos! Good luck at Oklahoma State University (my alma mater!) next year!

Taylor Family | Oklahoma City, OK

Say hello to the Taylor Family aka my sister, brother-in-law and cute nephew! For their session, they mostly played on the playground and threw leaves at each other (and me, see below). I love how they turned out!

Atchley Family | Oklahoma City, OK

November 29, 2018 ~ Samantha Kurtz ~ Leave a comment

Say hello again to the Atchley family! This is my third time photographing them and their sessions are always SO much fun! Emma has come a long way from her little two-tooth grin from their first session. Though she still loves running around just like she did in her second session. This year, she was taking directions quite literally. When I would say, “Ok, now look at each other.” She would tilt her head straight up to look at her parents. It was hilarious. It’s safe to say she’s practically a pro now. Thanks, guys for letting me take your family photos!

Ryan + Chelsea | Tulsa, Oklahoma

November 27, 2018 ~ Samantha Kurtz ~ Leave a comment

Say hello to Ryan and Chelsea! I went to middle school and high school with Chelsea. She told me in high school (I thought jokingly) that one day when she gets married that I was going to be her wedding photographer. Keep in mind that I didn’t start photographing weddings until after high school. Sure enough a few years later she reached out and was like, “Hey do you remember when I said this?” Life is funny sometimes! For their shoot we roamed around downtown Tulsa, dropping in at Welltown Brewing where we got to take photos in their brew room. It was cool! Ryan and Chelsea educated me in all things beer. After filling my brain with beer knowledge and their bellies with delicious beer, we went to Woodward Park. A favorite spot of mine in Tulsa. Chelsea told me before their session that they wanted a lot of “mushy gushy” photos because that’s how Ryan makes her feel. ISN’T THAT PRECIOUS?! I could go on and on about how much I love this couple, but I’ll stop here. Thanks, guys for letting me take your engagement photos! I LOVED spending the afternoon with you. Can’t wait to photograph your wedding in May!

Twilling Wedding | Claremore, Oklahoma

November 20, 2018 ~ Samantha Kurtz ~ Leave a comment

Meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Twilling! They got married at 320 on Main on a slightly rainy, overcast October day. This wedding was an absolute blast to photograph! They definitely know how to throw a great wedding: from the multiple emotional “first looks” with family and friends to the reception where there was a photo booth AND caricature drawings. My favorite part of the wedding wasn’t a particular moment, but how everyone: family, friends, guests, celebrated Michael and Maddie. There were a ton of tears, laughter, and joy throughout the whole wedding day. Michael and Maddie are definitely blessed with so much support! Thanks, guys for letting me a part of your big day!

Garret + Hillary | Stillwater, Oklahoma

Say hello to Garret and Hillary! You may recognize them from their engagement session and wedding last year. This session was special because it was for their one year anniversary! They wanted to go back to where they met, Oklahoma State University, for this session. The forecast had a high chance of rain all day, but instead of rescheduling they totally embraced the rainy day session. They were a blast to photograph, running around and kissing in the rain. I had a ton of fun photographing this session, and I love how the photos turned out! Thanks Garret and Hillary for letting me photograph your anniversary session!
