Sam is such a wonderful photographer from the outset we met up and discussed what we were looking to capture on our wedding day and she delivered everything we had asked for and so much more. With her calm and warm nature she made us feel at ease even though our wedding day was in the middle of a storm with 100 mph winds (Eunice). The photo's she captured are unbelievable and we are so happy we hired Sam and now have the most fabulous pictures we will treasure forever. I would highly recommend this wonderful lady , thank you Sam xxxx More...

From the moment we met Sam we knew we had chosen the right person for the style of photography that we were wanting to remember our wedding day. She did an excellent job and we were very happy with the photographs. She captured the essence of the day beautifully and her presence throughout was non intrusive and professional. Everyone was able to feel very relaxed which resulted in some fantastic photographs. Sam achieved everything requested and went above and beyond. I completely recommend Sam for anyone who is wanting relaxed and natural wedding photography for their special day. More...

Sam did an excellent job with our wedding photographs. Prior to our big day she met us to get to know us a little and to discuss our exact requirements. On the day she worked methodically and unobtrusively, adapting to some challenging circumstances outside of our control, to produce a wide range of formal and informal shots that we were very pleased with. I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a flexible, professional and friendly photographer to capture the best moments of their celebrations. More...

Q&As

Not only having a creative eye and expert technical ability is essential, knowing how to get the best from people, the happy, excited, emotional - capture this on camera and you've nailed it.

I would like to know what you want from your photographer- maybe you have not thought about it, maybe you would like me to do the deciding, but that is what we would need to discuss. If it's your wedding you have hired me for - well we can chat all about it on our first meeting.

I love people and I love photography - put them together and I have my ideal job.

The idea of doing what I love all day and nearly every day inspired me to start my own business.

Bark clients should choose me because I will do the best job for you.
