About
I am a bilingual freelance photographer and visual content creator with extensive experience in wedding, event, brand, and lifestyle photography and video. I founded Adriana Samanez Weddings, an international destination photography business, and I currently collaborate with The Walt Disney World Resort delivering high-volume guest photography while upholding brand standards and guest experience. My background spans communications, digital marketing, and content strategy, supporting brands in technology, travel, finance, beauty, and food. I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and collaborative, with a passion for storytelling, client experience, and creative excellence.
Outside photography, I bring hands-on experience in brand development, marketing strategy, and cross-functional project leadership. I thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building meaningful client relationships, and love transforming ideas into premium visual stories that resonate across audiences.
