About

NineDots Gathering 2022 presents Sam Hurd!

Starting as a political news and celebrity portrait photographer in DC, Sam was eventually drawn to wedding photography as a space to promote more inventive ideas. Sam’s focus is on photographic techniques that are deceptively simple, but have potential to transform difficult or uninspiring shooting environments into one of a kind opportunities for every photo made.

Mainstage

Embrace the Panic: Live Shoot
