more about me

For those who would rather party than pose, frolic than fret.  You want to design a mood for the day.  Creative, natural, honest, but stylish.  As a fashion photographer im here to let you be the star's.

I create authentic images of your wedding day, documentary style, but with a fun editorial edge. My wedding photography goal is that you can focus on enjoying your day, not spending hours posing for photographs. 

I photograph fun weddings in Essex, Suffolk, London, all over the U.K and internationally.

hi,
i'm samantha

see some happy couples

Hey there, I am Samantha,  a wedding photographer based in Chelmsford, Essex.  I have worked in weddings for over 20 years, and photographed them for the last 6.  

I lived in London for 17 years and still base most of my weddings there (view my London Weddings page to find out more) but now, with Essex as my home, your Essex wedding is close to my heart. 

Essex wedding venues and couples want something new and fresh. I love the charm of an estate wedding, or a farm festival.  My no fuss, modern fun photography mixes well wtih young couples who want that editorial style but with plenty of time to have that effortless care free fun.
