we can show you the world.
We can come to you, you can come to us - or we can meet somewhere in the middle.
If you knew that the stress load of a destination project wasn’t yours to carry, where would you dream of going? The world is so big, and full of breathtaking environments. Changing your environment creates lasting body memories that will stay with you a lifetime. We love getting to dream with our clients and help them see the world in a new way. Because our team has reliable relationships with top industry professionals around the world, and a portfolio to back up our promises, you can rest easy knowing that you will have a great team to bring your vision to life or to photograph your experience perfectly. Let us handle the details. Our work has been published in over 10 countries and we’re ready to invite you to explore the world while celebrating at the same time. In addition to designing events and coordinating getaways and travel details, capturing moments through photography is another way that we help our couples and clients connect with their experiences from around the world for years to come. The location of your wedding, event, photoshoot, or project heavily impacts the overall experience you and your guests will have. Let us find somewhere perfect for you.
Coast to coast and around the world
While SAMKOMA was founded in Los Angeles, California, our headquarters are now in North Carolina in an effort to be more centralized between California and European timezones. This allows our team to work efficiently for clients nationwide, as well as being able to work more efficiently for clients planning destination weddings, events and photography projects abroad.
Because 90% of our business and communication is handled virtually, our clients and couples are able to have a smooth and thorough planning process from the convenience of their homes or offices, even when planning an event or discussing a project taking place in a far away location. Our hybrid planning model of offering both a remote, and in-person approach, makes it easy to stay informed, wherever you are.
Timezone differences are nothing new to us - we are only a phone call or email away. We have photographed moments and produced events in countries all over the world, we are passport ready, and eager to chat with you. Where do you want to go?
