Sam McDermott | Wedding Photographer

Sam photographed our wedding back in Summer 2019 and I honestly couldn't recommend him enough!From our initial meeting, we immediately hit it off and it was clear that we needed Sam to shoot our wedding - we were not disappointed! Sam is incredibly down to earth and personable - what started out as a laid-back, honest conversation as his clients has since grown into a genuine friendship. Sam actually cares about his couples, taking the time to get to the heart of what matters so he can capture the best moments from your special day. His passion for his craft shines through. This is no run of the mill service - if you choose to go with Sam you can rest safe in the knowledge that you have placed one of the most important roles on one of the biggest days of your life in the capable hands of someone with bags of experience and dedication... But someone who also understands that at the core of what really matters is that the bride and groom are happy and have a great day.Since we ourselves are normally rather camera-shy individuals, it was important to find someone like Sam whose incredibly relaxed nature lends itself to helping you feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera lens.Sam has a great personality and is guaranteed to make you smile on your big day - he was a huge hit with our guests, and his craic was unquestionably one of the highlights often mentioned by our guests when they reflect on and share their memories of the day itself.Finally, it would be remiss of me not to mention that Sam is a perfectionist who is utterly devoted to the finer details. A true photography geek (pay him a visit if only just to check out his amazing custom-built photographer's man-cave) - he will tirelessly pursue the perfect shots or edits to produce an album of the highest standards for you. The end result is something you will be proud of and cherish as the ultimate memento of your day. I must say I am blown away by the results, and in the end we have received a masterfully-designed album which will take pride of place in our home and can be shared with kids and grandkids in the future.The post-production process allowed me to see just how much dedication and commitment he has to his craft. It's more than a job to Sam, it's his life. We are so thankful we chose him, and you will be too.

Not only is Sam an incredible photographer but he is an incredible person. His photography is his art and he truly does create some of the most stunning shots! We are truly in love with our moments forever captured in time and the most amazing wedding album to compliment them! We couldn't have asked for a more talented, genuine and down to earth professional to capture our special day! Sam made us feel incredibly at ease and was always up for a laugh! From our first interaction to this day Sam has been a gentleman and I could not recommend him more highly!

I can not recommend Sam enough!After a bumpy start of booking a wedding photographer through our wedding venue (will not mention any names ) & paying a substantial deposit - we were not happy with our engagement photos. I could tell from these that he was not the wedding photographer for us. Luckily I was able to cancel him & that is when we found Sam.Sam was more than accommodating & offered to do our engagement shoot ANYWHERE we wished. I chose to have our engagement photographs taken in a place that meant something to me. Sam travelled to our home to meet us & took the most amazing photographs I could have wished for. This made me so excited for our wedding photographs.On my wedding day it felt like Sam was part of the family - laughing & joking with everyone & making everyone feel at ease. I LOVE my wedding photos & have zero regrets about booking Sam for our day. To anyone thinking of booking Sam - DO IT! He has so many great ideas and even though it rained on our wedding day we still managed to get the most amazing pictures & he even waited until the rain stopped to get a few outside.My bridesmaid loved our photos so much that she ended up booking Sam for her wedding too.❤️

Having been a wedding photographer my entire working life, it's always the number one question friends and family ask you when you are getting married yourself. Who's going to photograph your wedding?There was only one name that was going to fit the bill and that was Sam. I had the privilege of flying Sam out to Mexico to photograph mine and my wife Danielle's wedding day and it was certainly one of the best decisions we made. One of the most nicest guys you could have the pleasure of being part of your wedding day.I have known Sam in the industry for a long time now and had the highest admiration for his work since first clocking eyes on it many moons ago. His work is on the same power as any wedding photographer I know worldwide and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.I always believe in community over competition and from first reaching out to Sam on a photography capacity and to photographing my wedding. It led onto a fantastic friendship as we are the greatest of friends now and have an excellent working relationship as Sam would be my first and only recommendation when it comes to wedding photography.

To say Sam was great on our wedding day would be an understatement - Sam was on the ball, he was friendly, he didn't cause any issues, and many of our guests afterwards commented on how nice he was and I would have to agree. And on top of that the photos he produced for us were absolutely stunning. Highly recommended!

This guy is amazing! There is no one that I would have trusted more than Sam to capture our wedding day. Not only is he an amazing photographer, he is the most wonderful person. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough!Sam was one of the first people that we booked for our wedding and it was without a doubt the best decision we made. From the first email we knew that we had to have Sam as our wedding photographer and we were thrilled when he said that he was available for our date.Getting married during a pandemic and living in England definitely had its challenges but not for Sam, he kept in touch throughout all of our planning, through emails, texts and zoom. He kept us reassured and made everything so easy and effortless.Looking back, we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without Sam, it felt like we had all been friends for a lifetime. Sam ensured that we got all the photos that we wanted and more, we couldn’t have wished for anything better!Sam is honestly the friendliest and most easy going person you could ever meet, everyone on the day spoke so highly of his professionalism.We feel so lucky that we had Sam as our wedding photographer, we cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us on our wedding day!

What could we say to even come close to how much we loved Sam doing our wedding. He is fun enthusiastic friendly and professional. He made us feel so relaxed and comfortable.He was loved by all our guests. And such a lovely genuine person. Thank you so much for all you done start to finish. Highly recommended xx

What can I say? We got married in April 2021 during the Covid pandemic and to say it was an absolute nightmare to plan for would be an understatement. Sam was so wonderful before our day, during and following up after. He was supportive, kind, made all our guests feel at ease and even though it wasn't a normal" wedding with loads of guests and a night reception it still felt special to us. He really is one of a kind and if you choose him to be your wedding photographer you will never regret itThanks Sam!"
