OK I don’t know what’s worse, having to have my own photo taken or having to write a whole page of great things about myself.
Here goes..
I’ve been working in the photography industry since shooting my first wedding aged 15, that wedding had a domino effect that’s still rolling all these years later. In between that time, I studied photography at college and university, which i’m so pleased I did, to be able to have that time to learn and develop myself and my style has become key in getting me where I am today.
As a photographer, I just love photographing people in all sorts of ways. From capturing emotional and candid moments at weddings, shooting fashion campaigns for small brands across Europe, to my own personal portrait projects around Asia.
Based in Oxfordshire, UK, i’m close to so many hubs of amazing venues, including Cotswolds + London. But i’m more than happy to jump on a plane for your destination wedding or photoshoot.
“Sam was genuinely my bridesman I never knew I needed. From the minute he arrived with us he was absolutely fantastic! Helped in every way possible to get us all ready to leave. He wasn’t just our photographer he was so much more.”
— Sophie + Darren
FAQs
We’re awkward in front of the camera, can you make this work?
You will not believe how often I hear this and how often after I hear “that wasn’t as bad as I thought”. I like to think i’m quite experienced at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. I also think my own awkwardness in front of the camera helps relate!
How long does the final gallery take to be delivered?
This can vary depending on times of the year but typically is around 6 weeks.
Where do you cover?
I’m based in Oxfordshire, UK and my standard coverage is usually within a few hours or so of there. However, as some of the photos above may hint, I love to travel the world and have a lot of experience doing so. I’d be delighted to discuss destination weddings or photoshoots.
What happens if you are unable to make it to our wedding?
The nightmare I have regularly is something I can only hope never happens. It would take a lot to stop me attending your day! But if the worst occurs, I have a network of amazing photographers at the end of a text message that i’d try my absolute best to replace me.
How would you describe your style of photography?
One of the main bits of great feedback I get is how relaxed my approach is on a wedding day, and how natural the outcome of the photos are. I’m always quite conscious of how important the wedding day is for spending quality time with family and friends opposed to photos, so like to work quick and efficient.
How much do you charge?
I’d love to hear more about your plans so then I can send over a personalised quote so that we can get the ball rolling on plans for the wedding or photoshoot! Get in touch via the contact page to chat more.
