Highly Recommend Sam!

We would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! They made everything feel so comfortable and easy from start to finish. His responsiveness was excellent, always quick to reply and happy to help with any questions we had. So friendly and professional throughout the whole process, which really put us at ease on the day. And the photos are absolutely amazing! We’re so happy with how beautifully everything was captured. Plus, we received our photos back really quickly, which was such a lovely surprise. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience

Save yourself the search - hire Sam!

We couldn’t be happier with Sam as our wedding photographer. From the very start he was friendly, responsive, and flexible, making the whole process really easy. He listened to our wishes to have mainly candid photos and captured the day perfectly without ever feeling intrusive. The photos are absolutely gorgeous, with such beautiful use of light, and they were delivered to us really quickly. We’re so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully – highly recommend Sam!

Sam is simply the best. Talented, passionate and professional

Sam was amazing! From the very first meeting, he made us feel completely at ease with his calm, professional and friendly approach. He did both of our pre-wedding and wedding photos, going above and beyond in each case. Here, he scouted out the locations before, met with us to discuss the style of photos we were looking for and engaged actively with or plans. On the day of our wedding, he blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every meaningful glance, spontaneous laugh and tearful smile without ever feeling intrusive. The final photos absolutely blew us away. Every image tells a story, filled with genuine emotion and stunning detail. Sam has an incredible eye for light, composition and those in-between moments that often go unnoticed, but mean everything when you look back. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to document your day with heart, artistry and professionalism, Sam is the one.

Unreal photographer!! Don’t hesitate to book him!

From the minute we met Sam we knew he was going to be our photographer for the big day! From his professional approach, ideas on scouting locations, relaxed nature, it felt like he was another guest on the big day! We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and the service Sam provided and genuinely couldn’t recommend him more! Let’s be honest just take a look at the photos and you’ll realise why! Fantastic photographer!

Great experience and photos!

We hired Sam to take photos for our wedding in September. He did a great job! He is very helpful and professional over email and met with us before the wedding to go over all of the options. During the event, he was able to blend in and he got lots of great shots without breaking up the flow of conversation at all. The photos are beautiful and we would highly recommend him.

Captured the day perfectly, couldn't be happier.

I was so happy to find Sam, he was completely charming and so easy to work with. Wedding planning is stressful enough and other photographers I approached made the process feel overwhelming. A quick chat with Sam and he just got what we wanted instantly. He was flexible on timings and nothing was an issue. The photos are amazing and he got them back to us within a couple of weeks (most others say at least 8-10 weeks). They are perfect, we will treasure them forever. Thank you Sam!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Quinta do Lago, Portugal 2023. Sun setting over the hills. Summer suits and colourful dresses. Music and dancing in full swing. Good vibes.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Intimate, Rich, Ethereal, Candid, Emotional

What about your business are you most proud of?

I'm proud that I managed to balance being a full time chef working 60+ hours a week whilst working on my photography business and growing my client base.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Plan early. Meet your photographer early, do your catering tasting early, see the venue early. It will give you as much time to make changes if you need to.

Also if you plan to get married in the summer, make sure there's plenty of water available at all times!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Some might view it as cliché. But I'm always a firm fan of polaroid's at weddings. I think they offer such a unique snapshot into the day.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Coffee meet to begin, I know all the best spots, so the first meeting is always a great experience! I like to go back to the beginning of their relationship, listen to the stories, the good vibes and the jokes. I'll talk about the family and the guests, anybody I think I should know. Its about me getting as much information from the couple as we sip our cappuccinos.

I offer as many pre wedding meetups as the couple desire. I also bring a point and shoot camera with me, to let them get comfortable with me and my kit.

On the day, I'm their best friend and their biggest cheerleader. Need me to pop out and get coffee? I'm there. Carry the brides flowers from the car to the church? I've got you!

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The intimate kiss that they think nobody noticed.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Embrace it, Its only water. Grab a towel, dry off, get a drink and laugh about it! (It makes for incredibly dramatic photos too)

Describe how you got into photography.

20 years old, studying music in university, bought a 2nd hand camera to shoot street photography on my days off. Fell in love.
