hello
manifest that inspo
Manifest your own wedding inspiration board, whilst you love birds are authentically you,. I know how to take these photos without taking you away from the cuddle with gran, the girls dance on the dancefloor or the other important moments you don't want to miss.
A London wedding photographer that frames your most meaningful moments with a little bit of editorial sass. You are not looking for wedding photography that is too serious, that cares more about the photo than your laugh out loud moments with your partner or in jokes with your best friend. You want someone who can capture killer shots but not kill your present moment. You dont want to pose you want to party
I shoot all over the country, but London is my area I am intrinsically linked to. I have used many a skyscraper, industrial unit, graffiti lined street, Georgian town house, private members club or hip bar to frame my couples pictures. I am excited by the diversity of London venues - each one has its own set of etiquette, or mastery which are totally unique. I always research, not only your London venue, but the area surrounding it. In London, this is an important consideration. I love a industrial vibe East London's Bistroteque is epic for this. Other favourite venues include The Hackney Co and One Hundred Shoreditch. I also love the jaw dropping elegance of Fitzrovia Chapel (I am a recommended supplier there, clearly they noticed my obsession with the venue - something my couples appreciate)

As seen in ...
You have chosen your London venue and you want to be present in your day. That's why we plan before the wedding so you can just relax on the day. A couple shoot means we are guaranteed those intimate shots but it's super quick.
On the wedding day itself, 95% of the wedding is candid. BUT I DONT WANT TO POSE AT ALL - no worries I see YOU and I shoot your energy as a couple. I have developed ways for you to just be lost in each other and not looking at the camera. I grab those moments quickly. If we choose to shoot on the London streets I ensure to research this well before the day. I find the cool backdrops so you can literally just have a quick gossip in private about the wedding morning while I shoot away!

Hey there, I am Samantha , I have been a fashion photographer shooting your weddings in London and all over the country for the last six years. I am the new friend with the skills to help you become your own mood board. To engage with the vibrant mood of your day. To laugh, bond over creative ideas and be excited about what's to come.
I live in a magical and quirky little English cottage that was built in 1651 (I know I try my best not to think about potential ghost activity) . When I am not practising or teaching yoga, I'm eyeing up the next tattoo or going on park runs with my son Phoenix. We like cooking for family and filling our house with cactuses named after great artists (Picasso is a particularly fantastic cactus!).
Finding the right venue for
START HERE: Are you a creative who wants a party vibe (industrial venue) or are you wanting a quick, stress free intimate day (town hall) or do you want formal glamour (one of London's many chic hotels). Then move onto practicalities. Can everyone travel to it easily? Is there nearby accommodation? Are there access requirements? Do you want inhouse food? Make a list. Start with the mood. Make a list of wedding venues in London that fit that mood. Then deduct ones that don't fit your practical requirements.
Firstly a photographer's fee does not directly relate to experience or talent. So never judge by price tag, look at their portfolio carefully. How many real weddings are there? Can you see lots of client reviews? Can you see a photo review of the previous year? What are the photographer's values?
A London wedding photographer can cost anywhere from £1k (the snapper is an amazing guy charging £1k ) up to 20k. Its not really to do with talent but more who that photographer is serving. A £20k photographer purposely targets that client profile and so their work, website, advertising will be targeted to that pool. So if you have a budget keep looking and you will find what suits your the budget you have. Remember - always look for reviews to back everything up.
