I am a wedding and family photographer with a natural style based in Kent and available to travel across the UK. I favour the relaxed approach to documenting your occasions, whether these be milestone events, a romantic couple shoot or very importantly your wedding day. My aim is to put you and everyone in front of the camera at ease, using your natural emotions and the special moments to create beautiful, personal and memorable photographs.

I love it when a photoshoot with me is bought as a surprise gift for someone. And in this case Maxwell's mum didn't tell him...

Welcome Theo!

Babies are literally the cutest. I love doing a newborn photoshoot and this one was even more special because less than a year before he...

Me and my now husband not only love every single photo sam managed to capture on our big day but loved that at some points we didn’t even know he was there. I can truly say, sam not only makes you feel at ease but also uses every opotunity to capture those perfect moments.
One thing I loved is that he always asked us what we wanted and from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for the photos that will forever keep our minds thinking of the day we married.

Sam’s eye for natural shots is amazing and we’re so happy with out photos. It was hard to choose which ones to print because he’d taken so many good shots!
Lucy
The photos look better than we could have ever imagined! Sam was extremely professional, relaxed and flexible. The photos capture all aspects of Annabelle’s personality and given she had hardly napped before the shoot, so was not in a great mood, Sam impressively captured a number of beautiful photos where she was smiling. Thank you Sam for such beautiful photos!
Libby
Matthew and I had a fantastic time with Sam. At first we were a little nervous in front of the camera (much more used to selfies than a shoot with an actual photographer), but as soon as we got started Sam put us at ease and before long was snapping some great natural shots.
Sam was really thoughtful and had planned out a few locations for us to visit. We’re really happy with the photos, especially the ones capturing those little moments.
Adam
It was lovely to have Sam come to take some pictures of our two children when our youngest Theo was born, in the comfort of our own home. The last thing I wanted to do was venture out with a newborn. He worked around us with feeding, lunch & snack schedules and made us all fee really at ease. Thank you Sam.

I had been nervous of feeling a little silly – but I needn’t have worried – as Sam made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. He has a quiet confidence when he works that put me at ease.
Rebecca
Coming from someone who really doesn’t like having her photo taken, Sam made Wayne and I feel really comfortable from start finish.
We had such fun and it’s a really great idea for couples to try a photoshoot, brings back great memories and makes new ones

Thank you for our photos, they look amazing 😀
