About
Hi, I’m Sam with Teran Productions. I specialize in documentary-style photography and videography for weddings, events, brands, and businesses throughout Southern California. My approach is simple: capture real moments without making everything feel overly staged or produced. Whether you need photography, video, or both, I can build the coverage around what you actually need and the final content you want delivered. With over 20 years of experience behind the camera, I bring professional equipment, clean audio, reliable communication, and a streamlined delivery process to every project. Tell me a little about your event or project, and I’ll recommend the right coverage.

It was a delight to work with Sam as our elopement photographer. He was very easy to work with in planning our photography needs. He was able to structure a package for us that met both our budget and vision for capturing our marriage ceremony. He responded quickly to questions. He arrived on time, and was very skilled and professional. And, most importantly, he over-delivered above our expectations. Our photos were beautiful, just as we had imagined. I recommend him if you're looking to capture the special moments of your life.

Had a wonderful experience with photography for our private wedding! We were given ample photos to choose from, and we never felt rushed. He was clear with instructions, pricing and what to expect, and delivered on all fronts. The whole experience was professional, warm and comfortable. Would highly recommend! Our photos turned out beautiful.

I booked Sam for two separate sessions within days of each other, he was punctual and delivered quality pictures. He took my vision and requests into consideration but, as a photographer, added the finishing touch which made my pictures come out that much better. My daughter’s sweet 16 pics came out amazing and I’d book or refer him in the future.

Details: Birthday party • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Physical proofs or prints
