About Me

Hi there
I am Sam
I take photos
I like dogs
Especially small terriers
They taste the best
I am at home in the ocean
No, my favourite song is not under the sea
under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
sorry I got a little carried away by the music
Ok, so by now you may realise I’m lighthearted and laid back
Infact the only thing I really take seriously is photography
I will do the best I can to help make your wedding a fun day
And capture all the moments you missed because you were too busy being in love
