For those who love

to keep meaningful memories

Genuine and heartfelt wedding photography that celebrates you


Authentic, beautiful images that express who you are as a couple as well as those you hold near. I am captivated by every minute of a wedding, from the anticipation and excitement of getting ready, to the precious first looks, the beautiful ceremonies, the joyous receptions, the hugs, the laughter, the tears. I aim to capture as many of those treasured wedding day moments as I can for you, so you can feel the love of your story every time you look at your images.

Marriage

[mar-riage] noun
"An endless sleepover with your favourite
weirdo."

Timeless, Personal, Natural.


By finding the love, half my job is already done for me. Togetherness makes us beautiful and a photograph that shows true feeling, beats a pretty one any day. I'll definitely take pretty ones on your wedding day, but they'll be organic and real. The second half of my job is my photographic style; how I follow the light and view life through my lens. It's wordy, but it also loses its words all the time. It's a little refined, sometimes dark, sometimes airy and it's a lot beautiful because it captures your love.

KIND WORDS


"The best decision we made"


"She went above and beyond and was committed to the cause, be it standing in the rain for the majority of our group/couple photos, to braving the downpours to make it home. How she managed to be so calm, collected and quick- we’ll never know! Our photos have been admired by many and complimented by all and choosing her was the best decision we made (apart from getting married!)."

Kind words


"No awkward moments"


"The photographs truly bring us back to our special day. She is very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable which shows in the final product, no awkward moments. We can’t thank her enough for capturing our most memorable moment and we will definitely have her again on our future special events. Sam is an extremely personable individual, with an artistic eye, she will make your experience memorable."
