We are so pleased we chose Sam to be our wedding photographer, she came highly recommended and did a fantastic job. Her photographs of our wedding were of excellent quality and we are truly delighted with our photo's and our album. I can't recommend Sam highly enough both for her work and her attention to detail. Sam is such a lovely lady, so easy to get along with and so friendly.

I cannot recommend Sam highly enough! Not only is Sam a fantastic photographer and created an amazing album for us, Sam is a lovely lovely person who actually felt like a close personal friend such was her input both pre-shoot and on our wedding day. A real gem!

Sam is absolutely amazing. She’s so friendly. I hate having my photo took but she made me feel so confident in myself. We have 8 children between us and she made sure to spend time with them too. We couldn’t fault her. She was happy to do what type of photos we wanted rather than just do regular shots. We couldn’t of asked for anyone better to capture our special day. She was wonderful.

Sam was our wedding photographer, genuinely over the moon that we picked her. Her hardwork and dedication to take our amazing pictures was second to none, she thought of every last detail and to add to it…She’s one of the most friendliest people you could ever come across. Everyone on the day was commenting how great Sam was. Sam is so accommodating and her contact is brilliant, any queries you can email/text/ring and she would answer them straight away. We are delighted with our pictures, Thankyou so much Sam!

We chose Sam for our wedding after getting to know her at our friends wedding. She was so friendly and approachable and her work was amazing so we couldn’t not have her for our wedding. She was great from start to finish! She made me feel so at ease even though I hate having my picture taken and it was an absolute pleasure having her capture our special day. We couldn’t recommend Sam enough.

Sam was wonderful on our wedding day. Nothing was too much and every picture came out exceptional, so much so, we took a very long time deciding which images to go in the album. On the day, Sam was so unobtrusive guests commented on how comfortable they felt and hardly noticed she was there. Myself and my husband couldn't of asked for better and the pictures reflect how at ease we felt. The before and after service was excellent also. We would highly recommend.

Sam was the best choice of photographer we could have made for our wedding! She was always in communication at the right time, produced beautiful photographs and very importantly was a lovely friendly person. We had a great day and have enjoyed reliving it through our awesome set of photos. Freya and Chris.

We knew from the moment we met with Sam that we had found our wedding photographer. Sam understood exactly what we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. The service Sam provided before, during and after our wedding was more than we ever expected. We didn’t even have to wait that long for our pictures and they were spectacular to say the least. Sam captured every moment of our wedding day perfectly. I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, you will not be disappointed.

We first met Sam at a wedding fayre at Park Hall and knew instinctively that we wanted her to be our photographer. Throughout our pre wedding journey she was so professional, understanding and very patient ! But most of all Sam made us feel so special. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and Sam was just brilliant. She took lots of photos (just over 700! ) which we have on a memory stick and we are absolutely thrilled with the images. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sam and can’t say enough to justify just how great she is. Sue and Sean x.

We were blown away with the service from Sam on our wedding day. The photos she took were just fantastic, even with us both in high states of stress and then giggles! She took the time to speak to our guests as well who all felt really comfortable with her and as such managed to get some great natural pictures of the guests and children. We received the USB with our photos on really quickly, and it was personalised which was such a lovely touch we weren’t expecting. Hopefully I won’t be getting married again but I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sam or from booking her again if the need arose. Je.

We hired Sam for our wedding and the photos were absolutely fantastic. Whats more, the service from Sam was excellent. She guided us through the process and was very engaging from the start right to the end. Shes really personal and eased any worries and we got all that service for one of the best prices we could find in the North West. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for professional photographs.

What a great photographer. Sam did a great job at our wedding. Great pictures made everyone at ease and such a wonderful lady.
Angela Kmiec

I had met Sam a couple of times at previous weddings and she was our first choice when it came to our wedding. Sam was fantastic in every way! Her communication leading up to the day was great and the pre-wedding shoot put us at ease. On the day she captured every moment perfectly and we couldn't have asked for better memories of our wedding day. Our beautiful wedding album, created by Sam, allows us to relive our special day and has had so many compliments. Thank you for everything.

Sam was fantastic from our first contact to receiving our completed wedding album. She is so friendly and professional and made our wedding day so special. All of our guests said how lovely Sam was on the day. We are so pleased with our photos and wedding album, they are better than we ever imagined. They capture every moment and element of our day and we will cherish them forever! Thank you so much Sam! X.

Sam is so approachable and professional, genuinely interested in our requirements and from the initial meeting to receiving our USB stick and album we cannot fault Sam's service and work. Sam gave us approx 800 images on the USB stick and we choose 120 images for our album which was a big job as all photos were exceptional. Thanks Sam and we know where to come when we renew our vows in the years to come.

Sam is a fantastic photographer and you don’t even notice that she is around. We hired her for our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. We’ve had so many compliments on the photos and photo album. You definitely would be lucky to have Sam capture your special day.

After seeing Sam's photography skills at previous weddings of friends and family, we knew there was no other choice for us. From our initial discussions through to the finished album, we cannot fault her work ethic, talent or personality. It was a joy to have her around on our day capturing everything. Sam is very good at making you feel at ease at all times. The work put in after should not go unmentioned as the album she created for us tells a perfect story of our day that we can treasure. Thank you to Sam for everything.
