Samantha was helpful from the start. I first met with her about 10 months before our wedding. She was honest, straight forward and professional. She even gave suggestions for other venues. Her prices are EXTREMELY fair and I would recommend her to ANYONE. We had our engagement photo session in April. My husband and I were nervous but were put at ease pretty quick. About 2 weeks before the wedding, I started getting emails from Samantha - just quick little emails saying, "The day s coming fast! I hope you have fun with it!" type deal. On our wedding day she came when she said and it was nice to have a calm presence as myself and the girls (bridesmaids) were buzzing with excitement. Her husband (her photographer partner) was calm and patient as well. I have NO memory of either one being there during the ceremony. Which is good! They weren't all up in our faces! The picture session after the ceremony was awesome. Samantha gave us direction on how to pose, who stands where, etc. She was soooooo patient when my kids (and some adults!) weren't looking at the camera when they (we) should have. I am currently waiting for my wedding pictures while she processes and edits them. I am excited to see them and have NO DOUBT they will be fantastic. Thank you SO much Samantha Jiwa Photography!!

Samantha was absolutely amazing. Her prices are very reasonable and her pictures are gorgeous. We got the top package from her and we had a great time. She did the engagement photos; for the wedding, I had her from when I was getting ready until the end of the major dances; her husband was there from the ceremony until the end. There was a photobooth, which was very popular. They are professional and fun people. They are very easy going, and they make sure you get all of the shots you are looking for. Everyone had a great time.

"Great work!!!!", An Eventective User from Abbotsford We have had Samantha do our family pictures twice now and both times we have had great results! She is very affordable, awesome with kids and extremely quick at getting pictures to her clients! She is also very flexible which is great when you have little ones! We will keep using her in the future! Unlike other photographers her price includes a lot of edited pics on a cd, whereas most you pay for the pictures to be taken and only get a few! Highly recommend her!

I was contacted by Samantha by eventective and I am so happy I was! Not only was she a great photographer, She literally went above and beyond her duties by not only being a photographer, but a friend! She picked up a relative for us and brought her to the wedding when we did not have time as we were running late, and the photos I got were phenomenal. I was absolutely blown away at the quality and the moments captured. I will be referring Samantha to everyone I know! I've never had a hard time narrowing down from so many photos for which to put up on my walls! Also, AMAZING prices!! Thank you so much Samantha, you and your assistant/second photographer made our day!

I got married August 13 2011 Samantha did our photos and worked with us for everything! She was amazing! The photos are more then perfect and I will always go back to her for any type of photos!

Where to begin in this recommendation? My husband and I got married October 12/12 in Langley, BC. We were shopping around for a talented Photographer, since we believe that pictures are the most important and valuable aspect of any wedding. We didn't want to go cheap, but we didn't have a ton of extra money either. After contacting several Photographers, I found Samantha's site. Right away I was impressed. Samantha makes her clients feel special, and her attention to detail gives the bride the feeling of confidence. Samantha offers very competitive pricing, and is flexible in every way. She strives to accomodate her clients' desires. Samantha and her assistant worked at our wedding beyond the hours being hired for without complaint, and they were welcomed as guests, rather than just a Photographer. Once we received the pictures on CD, we were overjoyed with the quality of her work. Samantha captured so many wonderful moments of our special day, and we are thankful we came upon her website. We now recommend Samantha to anyone we know who wants a professional, friendly, warm, and humourous Photographer. Tami and Trevor Ewert

We had our wedding on November 10,2012 at Harrison Hot Springs. Samantha was absolutely amazing and brilliant, she captured the most beautiful moments of our special day. Samantha also saved the day by bringing me a veil which I had forgotten to pack ;) She takes pride in her work, which definitely shows in her final edited photos. Although we live hours away from Chilliwack I will travel the distance to have samanthajiwa photography capture all of our families memories. A very happy bride :)
