Sam is a legend, and the best money we spent on our wedding by a long shot.

The smiles, tears and quirks of the day and candid moments of the guests are all there for us to look back on, from nieces with mouthfuls of confetti to action shots of my brother tackling me, to teary speeches and hilarious moments on the dance floor I’d completely forgotten. Thank you so much Sam, we recommend him if you’re looking for a Gold Coast Wedding Photographer.

– OSTERIA WEDDING

I simply cannot put into words how much I recommend Sam.

He captured some really special moments perfectly. None of it felt forced, it was all very candid and real. The photos are raw, emotive and so bloody beautiful. Sam is more than a photographer. He helped us plan our schedule for the whole day in the first meeting so we could have the best chance at getting some cool photos.

Thank you Sam!

PAGAN AND BEN
– THE VALLEY ESTATE WEDDING

I wholeheartedly recommend Sam – selecting him to capture our day was truly one of the best decisions we made.

Upon receiving the photos, my immediate reaction was simply WOW! Sam not only flawlessly documented every aspect of the day but also managed to convey the genuine emotion experienced. I am obsessed with our photos! Sam captured such beautiful moments that will be cherished forever. Thank you, Sam, for your exceptional work!
