The best features of working with Samantha are that firstly she took excellent photos of us. Secondly we received way more photos than we were expecting and finally it was quite a stress free experience, when weddings can be very stressful.

While the moment of the First Look was special, and reading a love letter Nicole had written made me think of why we were here, I found it more of a catalyst to allow us to enjoy the other special moments of the day. The First Look moment was made special because it started our…

We absolutely adored the time we had with Samantha on Monday. Samantha has the type of personality that puts not only us adults at ease but it made for lovely natural looking photos which was very important to me. We love that Samantha took the time at the beginning of the session to get to…

I think The First Look was a key element of our day and I am very grateful that Samantha recommended this to us as I had never heard of it before. It is a moment I will treasure as I got time, with Damien, alone, before the ceremony and reception, which I would not have…

I would never have done an engagement shoot if it wasn’t part of the package and that actually turned out to be the best thing we did. Spending a day before the wedding learning to pose and getting comfortable with the camera was invaluable. You can really see the difference with the engagement and the…

Samantha and her team were very professional and hard working. They will go above and beyond to get the perfect shot and ensure that the bride and groom are happy with the whole process, leading up to and during the big day. As a result Jess and I are very happy with our wedding photos,…

Our wedding was an amazing and beautiful day and Samantha and her team made such a huge contribution to making it a day we will cherish forever. We had spoken to many photographers who were aloof and arrogant. After our first conversation with Samantha, we knew she was the one to hire. From the beginning,…
Joanne
Having so many close family members who have passed away I was worried about how emotional the day would be. I thought it would be good to get some of that emotion out of the way in the First Look with just Bill and me there. We chose the cemetery because I really wanted to…

We had the opportunity to have Sam take some family photos of us on Sunday and what an experience! As soon as we met her, our 2 year warmed to her straight away. She took the time to relate to him on his level and never made us feel like we needed to ‘rein’ him…

The quality of the photos Samantha took was incredible. The enhancement of the colours and the highlighting of?key elements were amazing. Samantha was also sensitive to my less favourite features and subtly edited them without making the photos look altered or artificial. I?would highly recommend Samantha to anyone wanting beautiful photos as Rick and I…

1. Awesome at what we do.
We are great at making you look as good as you feel on your Sydney wedding day. Technically we are great at what we do. This means that we understand posing and lighting to ensure that we make the most of your best physical features and minimise any areas of concern.
2. We are crazy passionate about what we do.
Passionate people do crazy things to get the results that you are after.
3. We Love People.
We love to get to know our couples on a personal level. Sometimes we do dinner, maybe a coffee or a glass of sparkling wine. When we arrive on your wedding day, we want you to feel like an old friend has come to take a few pictures. That way you get to feel a little more comfortable and we can then capture more of your personality in your images.
4. We Go The Extra Mile. Always.
We have experience in weddings, so we can help you with everything from recommending other vendors in or around Sydney, wedding traditions and formalities, your day’s timetable, what questions to ask your wedding venue, and many more pieces of wisdom. Even better, if we don’t know we will help you find the answer to your questions.
5. We Are Super Organised. I Mean Ridiculously Organised.
This means that you can relax knowing that we can deal with almost any problem you could possibly encounter. After spending time in a war zone, no problem is too big to us to find a solution for you
6. We Love To Have Fun.
Your wedding day isn’t all about stiff and stuffy photoshoot. Instead we look for opportunities to get our photos while you are actually having fun spending time with your bridal party.
7. Self Proclaimed Gear Freaks.
It means that we will always have the equipment to get the job done. Should a piece of gear malfunction on your big day, no worries we have plenty of spares. On average we take 4-5 cameras to every wedding – just in case.
8. We Have A Unique Photographic Style.
This will mean that you will either really love our work or you really won’t. Those who love it, it will be for its bold and vivid colours, dramatic black and whites, use of textures and reflections and the ability to capture rare and candid moments when you least expect it.
9. We Are Super Reliable.
I know that’s a little on the boring side but we do what we say. With a 15 years of military service I have been well trained to be disciplined to meet deadlines
10. We Want To Know All About Your Story.

My Signature Service – The First Look
A First Look can add a touch of magic to your wedding day. A First Look is when a bride and groom see each other before the wedding ceremony.
Normally considered a bit ‘Taboo’ to see your bride before the ceremony, this is fast becoming the most loved moment of a couple’s day. You meet up alone, away from your wedding party, and it is a moment shared by just the two of you, it is relaxing and very romantic. Another great benefit is that the ceremony is much more relaxed.
