Read what clients say about the professionalism and quality of Samples Photography.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have known and used Samples Photography for just over 12 years.  I originally used the company when my 2 year old daughter was a flower girl for a friend’s wedding.  The photographer had patience to allow my daughter to feel comfortable with him before he took photos.  The outcome was amazing.
  Over the next 12 years Samples Photography has done many sessions with both of my children.  We have done sessions in all different weather and locations.  Samples Photography not only has patience to work with children, but also the availability and expertise to work in many different locations.  We have done shoots from the local area to the banks of Saco River.  Mike has the ability to capture not only the subject but also the surroundings.
 In the past he has done birthday parties.   This was poolside with multiple screaming giggling splashing teenage girls.   My daughter will cherish the pictures and memories for a lifetime.
When my son was preparing for his Senior Prom, Mike not only came to our home to photograph my son and I,   he went to the home of my son’s date to meet her parents and request permission to photograph them together.  Both families received a session of memories that were priceless.  The most recent, was High School Graduation.  We spent the morning taking photographs on the river’s edge.   Then we were off to the house for family portraits.

In all the years we have used Samples Photography I have always been surprised and impressed with the portraits. Samples Photography has a natural talent for capturing the perfect picture at the perfect time.

Michael was extremely professional and fun to be around. He made everything so easy and made it so we were comfortable around the camera. We were so impressed by his hard work and his interest with photography. His enthusiasm and love for his craft was evident, not only by the quality of photos he produced but also by the excitement and joy he brought to our special occasion. Michael showed extreme interest in taking our wedding photos. He was diligent and even studied beforehand on what type of pictures we wanted. We look forward to recommending him to our friends and family and hiring him again!

From the first meeting with Michael all the way through the end of the process we could not have been happier that we chose to work with Samples Photography for our wedding.  We knew we had chosen the right photographer when we met with Michael to have some engagement photos taken.  Michael did a great job of using his expertise to help us get exactly what we wanted out of our photos and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire photo session.  On the day of the wedding Michael and his staff did an outstanding job of getting all of the photos we wanted with family and friends without being intrusive.  As great as it was to work with Michael before and during our wedding, we were even more pleased when we got the proofs for our wedding photos.  We had hundreds of beautiful pictures to choose from as we put together our wedding album and we continue to receive numerous compliments from family and friends as they view our photos.  We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Samples Photography and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a photographer for any event.

We have been absolutely pleased with every aspect of our experience with Samples Photography. From our first contact until the very last print and negative were delivered, we were treated courteously, considerately, and professionally. Mike Tetrault understood exactly how important our wedding day was to us, and took every step to ensure that all would go successfully and stress-free. Samples Photography provides one of the best combinations of quality photography and reasonable price that you can possibly hope to find. Few photographers are willing to part with the negatives from your special occasion, and those that are, usually charge an arm and a leg for them. But Samples Photography includes the negatives with all their very reasonably priced packages, because they realize that the memories are yours to keep, and so the negatives should be as well. For truly important occasions, you need a photographer you can trust. Our wedding day was one of the happiest days of our lives, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help us capture that day forever.

This letter is for anyone who is looking for a "Wonderful" photographer. We hired Michael for our wedding in April 2003 in North Andover, MA. We found him through a referral from another photographer after it was found that the original photographer had actually double booked our wedding date! I was in a panic but I'm glad we ended up with Michael. His prices were a lot more reasonable and after phone calls and emails I found him very professional, friendly and he put me at ease. I was looking for a "photojournalistic" shoot of the wedding, with a few standard poses, with which he happily shot. The pictures were beautiful! He even managed to get many pictures of my daughter, who is VERY shy. The two pictures that are my favorite are that of my son and granddaughter on the stairs and my granddaughter being shy.If you'd like to see them I'll copy and email them to you...just ask. Everyone at the wedding enjoyed him being there and was never intrusive to our guests. When developing the disposable cameras from the tables there were even a few shots of him on there...he was like a member of the celebration...not just a hired photographer. Thank you Michael...I give you 2 thumbs up!

If you are looking for a photographer who has it all, then there is no need for you to look any further. While planning our June 2003 wedding, I was outraged and frustrated with the prices of the packages that some photographers were charging. The largest disappointment was that most were not willing to part with the negatives. Finding Samples Photography was a blessing! Michael's prices on his packages were the best I could find and YOU get to keep the negatives. Michael is professional, courteous, helpful, and understanding. He was always very eager and always willing to hear and comply with our thoughts and insights about what we were looking for. He has such a fantastic, friendly personality and has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Michael has created a beautiful story of our wedding day with only using his photographs. Each photograph he took captured every feeling and emotion that was felt at that time. I cried while flipping through the proofs because the pictures brought back every detail of our special day. At our reception, he was so non-intrusive that we forgot he was taking pictures until many of our guests started inquiring about his services. Working with Michael has left a memorable lasting impression on us as well as our family and friends. We cannot wait until we start having children so we can call Samples Photography for family portraits!

Working with Samples Photography was the easiest aspect of our May 2003 wedding planning experience. Michael Tetrault made himself available during every moment of our big day. He came to our rehearsal in order to work with our minister in capturing special moments on film. The results were amazing. Our ceremony pictures are some of the most beautiful I have seen. The reception photos are full of candids that show us how much our friends and family were enjoying themselves. Samples photography provides hundreds of proofs from which clients may select. This ability to choose from such a large selection is unlike many photographers. Samples also offered us very reasonable prices on reprints and was able to reprint in a variety of finishes. Michael's dedication to his work and his ability for shooting a picture at just the right moment has given us a wedding album that we will treasure for years to come.
