Choosing a photographer was one of the decisions we spent longest making during wedding planning as we placed a lot of importance on it, knowing they'd be what we were left with once the wedding was over - and we're so glad we picked Sam! His work is incredible - we're so happy with all the photos of our wedding. He seems to have this ability to pick up people's personalities in the shots he takes! Our album really reflected the day we had - there are some really beautiful and moving images, yet there are also some hilarious and surprising ones, particularly as the day/night progressed! Sam is clearly passionate about what he does, and he is also such a nice and fun guy that we loved having at our wedding - he'll make you feel instantly at ease. We'll most certainly be recommending him to any friends looking for a photographer.

Obsessed is an understatement. We feel so lucky to have been able to have Sam join us on our day. Not only is he easy-going and an overall pleasure to be around, but he takes *insanely* good photos. We knew this before, as we've seen his talent at work in other weddings online, but to see our day through his lens has been such a gift! Cannot recommend him more.

Sam is the best wedding photographer and I would recommend him to every couple for their wedding day - his images are perfect, his commitment is unparalleled and he is the best company on the wedding day. He made the whole day feel relaxed and charmed all our guests. He is so excellent at what he does and we cannot thank him enough.

Sam was #1 on our wishlist wedding photographers from the minute I saw his instagram! We managed to nab him for our own lockdown wedding in June and I can't describe how happy we are that we did! His photos are effortless, joyful, super stylish and just manage to capture feelings like no others! On top of this, his professionalism and easy going attitude are just two of the many reasons why he managed to fit in like family in our wedding of 16 people! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. Photos that will be beautiful for a lifetime are just worth the investment.

Where do you start writing a review for the man who turns your memories into a visual masterpiece....and then some!Sam was the photographer we chose for our wedding in Greece and I spent a lot of time looking for someone who I thought could capture our big day in a way that wasn't intrusive but also allowed everyone to relax and enjoy themselves without the fussy wedding photography I hate. Say cheese anyone?Sam met the brief perfectly. From day one speaking to Sam we knew it would be the perfect match. He made us feel so relaxed and all the way through to today two months after the wedding he has been incredible. Above and beyond are the words I would use to describe Sam. 39C heat anyone? Yep. Sam was a hero. How he managed to hand over 600+ photos and each one draw an awwww out of anyone who sees them is beyond me. Most of Sam's pictures could easily be in the next print of Vogue, seriously they're ridiculous. Just look on his Instagram account!Sam captured our love, our family and friends and the one memory you never wish to forget just perfectly. Thank you Sam. Book this man. Life choices don't come easier than this.

Sam is the Don Corleone of wedding photography, but without all the killing. Aside from the obvious fact via his website that his photography is beyond classy, unique and hugely emotive, he is a true gent, a communicator, a smiler, an uber organised & efficient, reliable 4K package of a man.If he was available for other event photography (he probably isn’t, we were told to contact him for our wedding over a year in advance because of such high demand) I would ask to him to attend my other landmark life moments just to be present, and to perhaps press the shutter a couple of times too.As a brucey bonus, he has just completed an iron man which blows my mind on a daily basis and his a sound testament of commitment to cause.You know when you meet someone, see their product and come away thinking that person has found his/her calling in life. That is Sam, and the result is clear to see in his photography.THANK YOU, Simon x

Sam was the most amazing photographer we could have ever hoped for! Not only are the photographs so beautiful but on the day itself he went above and beyond - he was calm, focused and great to be around!The photos themselves are just amazing - he captured all the different moods of the day and we’ve got a lovely collection of photos that are intimate, romantic and fun.We were so happy to receive the preview gallery a few days after, and then Sam sent our complete set of photos - with a brilliant online gallery as well as beautifully packaged USB - really quickly. We are thrilled with them!In short, Sam was such a huge asset at our wedding and we could not be happier with the photos!

Where to start! It was the best decision we made choosing Sam to capture our day. We knew we wanted documentary style that wasn’t intrusive and allowed everyone to relax and have fun. He completely exceeded our expectations, we are blown away by the photos we received! Sam captured so many real moments not just the main events and the photos really show the emotions throughout the day. Each photo makes us either laugh or cry and takes us back to the weekend. We also loved having the pre-wedding session not only to get to know Sam but we have some beautiful photos from everyone gathering the day before. During the day he will only take you away from your guests for a short amount of time so you don’t feel like you miss out and you still get a lot of amazing photos! The process after the wedding is also very thoughtful, with sneak peak photos, a video, online gallery of images and then a usb delivery!He is also a really nice guy who completely put us at ease, he ensured the day ran smoothly and helped make a tough decision on the morning when it started to rain! We can’t thank him enough, he works so hard running around to capture everything from early morning until the last song (+1200 photos later)!!! Our guests loved him too and everyone couldn’t believe how talented he is and how nice he was! We have looked at the photos so many times and they take us right back!

Choosing to marry in 2020 instead of 2019 was a terrible decision but choosing Sam as a photographer was one of our best decisions. I don’t think I spoke to one guest (did only had 30!) that didn’t complement Sam- the quality of the photo is obvious but his relaxed nature and ability to become part of the wedding is what really stands out of the day. He is cool, calm and collected. Couldn’t be more grateful for his flexibility- we had to change our date and everything about the wedding multiple times but all Sam said to all of it was ‘yes- let’s do it’. I love all our photos- every single shot is perfect! Pick Sam!

Sam was the first name on our wedding wish list and he didn't disappoint. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was having Sam to do the photography. He worked so hard all day and the images are stunning. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Sam
