About
Hi, I’m Sam with Teran Productions.
I specialize in documentary-style photography and videography for weddings, events, brands, and businesses throughout Southern California.
My approach is simple: capture real moments without making everything feel overly staged or produced. Whether you need photography, video, or both, I can build the coverage around what you actually need and the final content you want delivered.
With over 20 years of experience behind the camera, I bring professional equipment, clean audio, reliable communication, and a streamlined delivery process to every project.
Tell me a little about your event or project, and I’ll recommend the right coverage.

I booked Sam for two separate sessions within days of each other, he was punctual and delivered quality pictures. He took my vision and requests into consideration but, as a photographer, added the finishing touch which made my pictures come out that much better. My daughter’s sweet 16 pics came out amazing and I’d book or refer him in the future.
Details: Birthday party • 50 - 99 guests • Outdoors • Physical proofs or prints
