I’m Sammy VanLaeken, a Las Vegas born and raised gal! Photography started as a hobby in high school and eventually grew into something more, allowing me to turn my love for documenting life into a career. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with capturing the connection between people, the little details, and those fleeting moments that make a wedding day so meaningful.

That passion grew into Photos by SVL Collective, where I bring my documentary approach and love for storytelling to weddings and celebrations. My goal is to create photographs that feel like you, capture the moments you might have missed, and bring you right back to how it all felt years down the road.

Alongside my trusted team of creatives, we're here to capture your biggest moments as they naturally unfold, turning them into timeless keepsakes you'll come back to for years to come. Because the best photographs don't just show you what happened. They let you feel it all over again.
