Reviews of SV Photograph (Photo Studio)

This couple not only does amazing work, they are extremely professional and thorough during each step of the process. For me, hiring Samuel and Virginie was an investment in myself and and an empowering experience that was worth their fee and more.

A great moment with Samuel & Virginie! We booked everything via e-mail and sent them a few pictures of us to prepare the shoot. We only met them on the day of the shooting, and we had a lot of fun in Moorea! They make you feel comfortable, very talkative and open minded, some jokes and anecdotes, and you feel like you know them forever. And the result is really amazing, a beautiful shoot to keep a lot of lovely memories, with my best friend, but also with them! If you have the opportunity to book them, do not miss it, you'll love it!

This was my first experience doing a session like this. I felt very comfortable with Samuel and Virginie right off the bat. This husband wife team goes over and above to make you feel at home with them and deliver the most natural shots. I was nervous about posing as I have never done it and they helped me through the whole process with suggestions and tips. I have never loved my body and wanted to do this experience as a gift for my husband before I felt the opportunity was too late too. I can honestly say I feel so happy after the session. My confidence grew and I felt like my body I looked at a bit differently after and was more accepting of the way it is. After getting my photos back I was truly so happy to see myself in a different light and accept myself. This was an amazing experience for myself from inside to out. I never expected that would come out of this gift for my husband. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Samuel and Virginie do not disappoint. Their experience and dedication as a team is awesome. Thank you both for the wonderful experience. I cannot wait to do it again with you. Shannon

If we could give Virgine & Samuel 10 stars we would!!! They are amazing at what they do! Virginie & Samuel are a super reliable, friendly and a professional couple who knew how to capture all the special moments during our wedding and all of the the photos turned out amazing. They are also are very reasonably priced too! We will be using them again for all of our future photography needs. We highly recommend using SV Photography! Thank you Samuel & Virginie! You guys are the best photographers in Victoria,BC!!! :)

Samuel and Virginie are incredibly talented, thoughtful, and wonderful photographers! We feel so lucky that we found them. They took breathtaking photographs and were so easy and fun to work with! The pictures they took are downright amazing, and perfectly captured us and our wedding day. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are, since words don't even do the pictures that they take justice. I highly recommend them to everyone!!

My husband and I just got married on Sept 8th and Samuel and Virginie were there to captured today. When our original photographer cancelled on us, Samuel and Virginie took us on at the last minute with no hesitation. We were truly lucky. We could not have asked for better photographers. On our wedding day they went above and beyond and made sure that our day was special. They made our family members feel comfortable and Samuel could not stop making jokes. They made us laugh, they made us cry. It was truly the best day we could've ever hoped for. Thank you SV photography.

I had the opportunity to do a pregnancy boudoir photoshoot (indoor & outdoor) with Sam & Virginie at 36.5 weeks pregnant. Having been self conscious of all the physical changes of my body throughout my pregnancy, doing this photoshoot really changed my perspective about my body in a very positive way. They are such a nice & professional couple and my experience was exactly as described on their website - they really "created an experience that is empowering, affirming, and most of all, one that made me feel beautiful in my skin." :) Thank you SV Photograph for the all the beautiful captures!

They are amazing photographers! My husband to be and I did our engagement shoot with them and we had an awesome experience! They have the eye to catch the love in a picture. They were really accommodating and helpful to find the perfect place to have our shoot. We even had to shoot with our dog too! We can't wait to have them during our wedding and see the result of their stunning work on our big day!

We had photos done for us by Sam and Virginie on Vancouver Island BC and the outcome of the photos was amazing!! They captured the beauty of the island so perfectly in our photos. It was such a pleasure working with them on our little adventure shoot. They are fun, easy going and professional. We would recommend them the highest! Much love guys <3

As good as it gets doesn't even begin to describe this amazing photography couple! My new husband- Anthony & I were honeymooning in Moorea/ Tahiti right after we got married in California. We had looked up and found SV Photograph prior to our trip and arranged to do a "Trash the Dress" shoot with them. This turned out to be our best day on our honeymoon, we made great friends with the 2 travel gurus and it was a win win win! This couple puts SO much time & effort into finding thee most beautiful shot sites that it will knock your socks off- Also, being in a new country it was nice to have locals take us to all their favorite spots on the island. (Places of impeccable beauty, we would have never found on our own! ) Every photo we received from SV was stunning and not only did we have fun, but now we have made great friends AND great memories. Whether it is Moorea, or Vancouver City or anywhere really- this photography couple can perfect any of your photography desires with their willingness to help and awesome eye for beautiful photography. Thanks guys!

We had a great experience with these two guys!! Although my husband and I are really shy and we don’t like pictures that much, they made us feel comfortable. The place they chose for us was wonderful and the we loved the final result. :)

What a great time with Virginie and Samuel ! Beyond having been an incredible day linked to the couple photos, Virginie and Samuel were attentive, funny, and made it possible to make this day an unforgettable memory. We loved all the ideas that Virginie and Samuel came up with during the photoshoot. Above all, they made us feel at ease from the start, which contributed to the magnificent result of the photos. What talent, creativity and kindness! Don’t hesitate to go see them, if you want to have wonderful memories of you (solo or as a couple). Virginie and Samuel are passionate, and it shows in the results of the photos! See you soon guys !

Absolutely brilliant, talented, kind and creative photographers! I have never felt so comfortable and beautiful during a photo shoot until I met these two magnificent beings. Their energy is very genuine, respectful, and lovely! I adore their work and feel so confident and grateful. I felt an instant self confidence boost after the shoot. It was an experience that helped me let go and connect to my higher Self. My very first boudoir style photo shoot couldn’t have been better. Virginie and Samuel are so skillful and supportive! I felt so safe and enjoyed every moment. They bring a self loving/self accepting/body positive energy to the photo shoot that is so magnetic and beautiful. Thank you Samuel and Virginie for everything you do to support beauty, confidence, self love and creativity in the most respectful and kind way!

Allan and Pochia

We greatly enjoyed our time with Sam and Virginie. They were with us tirelessly and passionately throughout the whole pre-wedding shots and the day of. During all these months, we didn’t have to chase them (they chased us instead!), didn’t have to worry about extra fees outside the contrast and didn’t have to worry about delays. We also appreciate that they were very engaging. They took the time to know our stories, so by the end of the day, we felt like we are friends instead of just people doing business

Sam and Virginie are the best photographers ever! It's about 2 years since my wedding and I am still so obsessed with the photographs. Our wedding was a destination wedding in Moorea, I had so many questions and Virginie was always so patient not just answered all my questions but also explained all the details and helped me picked the amazing wedding location. We became friend even before we met!! When we arrived at Moorea, sam and Virginie arranged meet up before the wedding to get to know us in person. We feel like having our best friend as our big day photographers. All my friends and families were wowed by the photos turned out, thank you so much Sam and Virginie for your amazing work and made my big day so much meaningful!! I miss you guys!!!

If you are looking for the the next step in photography these two create actual art with their cameras. As an industry vendor in the wedding world , you meet and see a lot of photographers, but you dont meet a lot who's photos stand out a tier above. If you want unique , creative and one of a kind ,SV is who you are looking for.

SV Photograph was great! They did my wedding at the Bird's Eye Cove in November 2019. They were very responsive to my questions and overall made me feel that I had nothing to worry about for them. Leading up to the wedding, they had spent some time at the venue so they knew what they were working with, so I found this quite relieving, as a first time bride, I wasn't sure what to expect. They made my feel beautiful and they didn't do anything that me and my partner didn't feel comfortable doing. During the wedding, it seemed like they were everywhere! I heard so many great things about how they were taking pictures of everyone and very pleasant to be around. Both Sam and Virginie were very relaxed and knew what they were doing throughout the entire time. Their prices are reasonable and I would highly recommend!

Nicola Scott

This past weekend my partner and I had the pleasure of heading out to the Sooke Potholes for an amazing photo shoot with Sam and Virginie in the snow! It was a great experience, Sam and Virginie are amazing and made the shoot comfortable and fun. They offered lots of direction, but also let my partner and I be ourselves and have fun. We would definitely use them again!

Julie Garand

We made the right choice by choising theses Photographers for our big day. Virginie and Samuel organized our whole day in Moorea, a little remoted island, from start to the end and we had an amazing experience getting photographed in stunning locations we couldn't find without them. We were incredibly happy with the photographs !

Samuel and Virginie are extremely talented photographers and they not only take amazing photographs but they go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding day is perfect. I stayed in touch with SV Photograph for almost 2 years before my fiancé and I finally met Samuel and Virginie in Mo’orea for our elopement. As soon as I saw their photos, I was certain that they were the only photographers that I wanted to use on our wedding day. From picking out the most beautiful location, ordering my bouquet, to arranging my hair and makeup, Samuel and Virginie did it all. They are more than just photographers! They organized and planned our day and found the most amazing locations for our shoot. I felt so at ease that day because of them. When my husband and I saw our gallery of photos, we were blown away! We couldn’t believe how well Samuel and Virginie captured our expressions in these small special moments throughout the day. When we look at the photos, they instantly bring us back to that day and how we were feeling. I think my favorite part about the pictures is they are very “us.” They truly captured who my husband and I are as a couple and integrated our love for travel. Our wedding pictures look nothing like anyone of our friend’s wedding photos and we love that. Thank you Samuel and Virginie for arranging such a beautiful day for us and for taking photographs that we will treasure forever.

Time passes but the photos remain ... that's what I feel as soon as I lay eyes on it !! (Original) Une incroyable aventure avec Samuel et Virginie !! Ils ont capturé mais aussi organisé notre re mariage lors de notre tour du monde en famille. Ils ont su nous mettre en confiance et en beauté. Le resultat est tout simplement prodigieux !!! Les photos sont exceptionelles! Un grand merci pour ces moments de fous rire et de magie. Le temps passe mais les photos restent ... c'est ce que je ressens dès que je pose les yeux dessus !!

My fiance found SV Photograph first in Tahiti (Moorea to be exact), where they shot our engagement photos! About a year and a half later, they traveled to the USA (Tacoma, WA) to shoot our wedding. We absolutely love Samuel & Virginie and their photography! They've become members of our family and we can't wait to hang out with them (and use them for more photo shoots) in the future! :)

Karley Fraser

Working with SV photograph was an amazing experience. They both demonstrate passion and love for their craft. I felt comfortable and confident working with them both. They made my session an exciting adventure one I wont ever forget. Highly recommend

Breanna Bomback

We went on an adventure with these two, and they made our first experience of Botanical Beach very memorable. Sam and Virginie are easy to get to know and have stories to share from their travels around the world! They spent so much time with us, found many unique and creative backgrounds in the landscape, and were absolutely amazing at finding us cute ways to pose. We really think they went above and beyond! We are so happy that we chose SV photograph. The photos turned out gorgeous and professional, and make me feel like model! Consider booking them to capture your next adventure. It was worth every penny.

Matt Bawtinheimer

Samuel and Virginie provided a fantastic experience and came prepared with everything needed to have a fantastic afternoon. They made us feel very comfortable and the photos turned out excellent! We highly reccomend booking with them.

Kendall Silcox

I can't be thankful enough. Samuel and Virginie were our Photographers for our wedding! My husband and I just got married in September this year in Victoria. From our first chat with them to the wedding, Samuel and Virginie took the time to reply to all our questions (even out of photo topic). They are patient, funny, easy to work with and their French accent is the icing on the cake. We feel so lucky to find them. They are in Canada only from last year but they have years of experience and have a life so interesting. We also feel very special thanks to them. Thank you again SV photograph. Kendall & Scott

Michelle Van de Water

My experience with SV Photograph was fantastic! I hired Samuel and Virginie to take maternity photos of me at 39 weeks and I have to say they made me feel so beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera like I've never felt before! We had so much fun together the entire shoot; we laughed, cried and the photos they captured are nothing short of stunning! I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you SV, I will cherish these photos forever!

Jenn Mudge

I reached out to SV Photograph after seeing their photos on Facebook, they answered right away and planned a meeting which had them traveling for three hours to meet me. After speaking with them, looking at their work and having them be interested in the surprises I had planned I knew it had to be them. Shortly thereafter Covid hit, they stayed in touch, never wavering on plans or pricing and the support they showed for our decisions was heartfelt and beautiful. We decided to go ahead as planned for our day because nothing was more important to us. Samuel and Virginie were flexible when the schedule changed last minute due to weather. They were there and ready. I couldn't have asked for more in photographers, Virginie even held my hand when the helicopter ride got rough! They got all the shots, all the memories and all of the love. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a photographer for their wedding. You offer me the ocean and I will offer you the mountains. Thank you both for being apart of our story. Love Jenn & Alden
