I'm Sam... or 'Mr Photographer Man' for short...
I capture real people, at real weddings, in real time.
Photography is our best tool for preserving our memories. Each moment is enhanced when it's captured in a natural, honest and authentic photographs.
I'm a very nostalgic person... I believe photography to be the reason for that. Digging through dusty old boxes of memories is my idea of the perfect rainy afternoon.
I take pictures of real smiles, real tears and everything in between...
Wedding photography has come a long way since the days of groaning 'cheese' all afternoon while standing as still as possible. Modern technology combined with a modern approach has blown the creative doors off of this industry and allowed me and my peers to achieve vastly superior results than years passed...
My visual style is punchy and bold, emphasising the bright and gleeful feeling all weddings possess. Such a happy and positive occasion deserves to be shown with colour, vibrant light and a healthy dose of classic black and white imagery.
Every moment is important on such a special occasion, so I give it my all to capture the day as it unfolds and tell the true story of your wedding. The most cherished photos are always the most natural ones, so that's what I aim to achieve...
I believe that where possible moments are best left untampered with and captured there and then. This way your photos will depict actual moments and memories, helping you to take yourself back in time and relive the day forever.
I empathise with those who dislike being photographed, as I too am not overly confident on that side of the lens... I much prefer my end of the deal ;) This is something I always take consideration of when i'm shooting weddings, I don't put pressure on guests or single people out when they show nervousness or apprehension.
My advice is simple... be yourselves. This is your wedding day and these are your pictures, so be you and own your style and personality... it isn't a fashion shoot for vogue!
Unless that's your vibe, in which case... Go BIG!
Embrace the day and savour every minute... it's my job to make sure you have a fantastic album to remember your day, so don't waste time worrying or faffing, you do you and spend your time wisely!
Photography kind of fell into my lap. During my degree in Graphic Design, I got to learn the basics of film photography and how a dark room works, after learning these skills I was hooked. Safe to say, my design work took a back seat once photography had sunk its teeth in.
Once I got my hands on a digital SLR camera, everything changed. The ability to shoot lots of images very fast at high quality had me hooked. Any spare time became my chance to experiment with light and all the possibilities this equipment gave me creatively. Learning how to use a camera in this very natural and fun way was very satisfying and has moulded my style of shooting. I have fun behind the lens... I enjoy the pursuit of that perfect moment.
