Samantha Davalos

I began my career in wedding videography and naturally transitioned into photography, where I found my passion for capturing meaningful, heartfelt moments. Based in Austin, TX, I’ve had the opportunity to work under several high-end brands and have photographed between 2 to 4 weddings every weekend, averaging well over 100 weddings per year. Early on, I made it a priority to review each gallery and refine my craft after every event, constantly learning and evolving. I’ve also drawn inspiration and mentorship from renowned industry professionals such as Parker Walbeck, Ray Roman, Jake Weisler, Taylor Jackson, The Pinckards, and Two Mann Studios. Their influence, paired with hands-on experience, has helped me develop a well-rounded skill set in both technical precision and storytelling. In addition to weddings, I’ve photographed corporate events, theatrical performances, concerts, maternity sessions, and even birthing events, giving me a wide perspective and the ability to adapt to any setting with ease and professionalism.

What I love most about being a photographer/videographer is knowing that I’m preserving some of the most meaningful moments in people’s lives, moments that will never happen quite the same way again. Every wedding reminds me of how important this role truly is. For many couples, it's not just a celebration of their love, but also a rare reunion of family and friends, some of whom haven’t seen each other in years. Having lost some loved ones myself, I understand how precious those quiet, candid moments can be, the laughter, the tears, the silly dance moves, and the heartfelt embraces. Capturing those fleeting, unscripted connections between people is what drives me. It’s an honor to document love in its most genuine form, and I approach every wedding with care, empathy, and intention to preserve it all beautifully for years to come.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me exploring new cities, hiking scenic trails, or trying out local eats, I’m always up for an adventure (and probably taking pictures of it all along the way!). I’ve been painting and drawing since I was a little girl, so art has always played a huge role in how I see the world. I also have a deep love for music, I've been singing since I was six and still sing along to just about every song I hear. I also enjoy playing the piano and love any excuse to travel. Creative energy and curiosity are a big part of who I am, and I love bringing that into the way I capture life and love stories.

What Couples Are Saying

Our photographer and videographer were such a delight. They were so professional and friendly, they made my husband, family, friends and me super comfortable. The sneak peak of photos we received really surpassed my expectations. I am anxiously waiting to see our video, if it’s anything pipe the photos I know we will be so pleased. Another thing I appreciated about them both was during the reception I didn’t realize they were their… the photos we received left me scratching my head at times thinking how and when did they capture that moment, which is so amazing! I really wanted candid pictures of our big day! - Katherine Atkinson From beginning to end, we *loved* our experience with weddings unlimited! Emmy brought such a positive and comforting energy to all pre-wedding meetings, and Bryan, Samantha, and Ethan were incredible at bringing our vision to life! On top of handling photography, videography, and DJing our wedding, they also talked and partied with us and our guests like friends! Photo/video quality and services are amazing, especially for such a great price! Book with Weddings Unlimited- you won’t regret it! -Madison Edwards Our photographer, Samantha, was amazing as well. She had tons of ideas for different poses and locations around the venue to take pictures and she ensured we got all of the shots we were hoping for. We are so thankful we went with Weddings Unlimited for our wedding! -Dusti Douglas Samantha our photographer was wonderful!! She went above and beyond!! ❤️ I will say I wish I would have asked them to arrive earlier in the day. Ben the dj did well when looking to us when to cut out the songs for the long dances. He also was flexible when we had to change times throughout the reception. Thank you weddings unlimited for making our day so special ❤️ I can’t wait to get the photos and videos back 🥰 -Kara Roman Texas-based photographer Samantha Davalos was kind and exceptionally patient, and her photos have been beyond beautiful, hitting the mark every shot. Finally, a big thank you also goes to Emmy, our coordinator/project manager, for working with us via email and a few overseas Facetime calls to make sure everything was thoroughly planned and finalized well before the big day. We couldn't be more thrilled! Sometimes I have heard brides say they couldn't enjoy the reception due to stress, but thanks to Weddings Unlimited, both myself and my husband had a blast at our own wedding. -Alessandra Ferrer I am SO happy we chose Weddings Unlimited for our DJ and Videographer for our wedding. The DJ, Marcus, was extremely professional, attentive, and kept the party going. The videographer, Samantha, was absolutely wonderful. She was also very professional, kind, and we could not have imagined our wedding video turning out any better. I also want to shout out our video editor, Bryan, who assisted in bringing our film to life. If you're on the fence about booking - do it!! They even offer packages that can help save a ton of money without lacking in service or product. - Hayden Popp My wife and I had the privilege of having Weddings Unlimited for our wedding yesterday and had an amazing experience from start to finish! We had their photographers, videographers, and DJ services. All staff was amazing and extremely detailed with all their work! We could not have asked for a better group of individuals to capture every moment of our special day and having us dancing throughout the night! Thank you all once again from the bottom of our hearts! -Giancarlo Tejida The videographer took so many detail shots and followed the photographer around the whole event. I can’t wait to see the final video! The photo booth was a big hit and the girl working the event was very friendly and welcoming. It was a fabulous event and Weddings Unlimited was key in bringing the fun! Thank you! -Lynda Pohl / Lynn & Andrew's Wedding Posey Meadows Venue, San Marcos, Texas
