If the big wedding isn't for you, then keep reading.

The quiet still between mountains.

How the sun hit you both.

The way you laughed here.

How free it felt.

The way you looked at each other.

The sky, just before yes.

The way you said I do and
 the look in your love.

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT.

Eloping & having an intimate wedding simply means skipping the organisation and family politics and doing what YOU want to do on your wedding day

Either on your own or with your nearest and dearest

Hey, I'm Sam!

meet your

A career as a Midwife and Nurse saw me love capturing birth but left me little time to myself or my interests. When I decided to get a hobby, picking up my old camera seemed like a good choice! My hobby quickly turned into a business and passion. I always had an interest in photography and was gifted my first mirrorless back in 2012 before a trip to Africa.  I love nature and being outside. Becoming an Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer was the perfect choice! 

I have two Golden Retrievers. My fur babies!

Pizza & Tea are my love languages- a good blend of my Maltese and British genetics!

I've swam with Dolphins 4 times! 

I met my husband at 19 and a week later we knew this was it!  15yrs later and we have two beautiful kids.

"Samantha did an incredible job capturing the magic of our special day.

"Her friendly and warm approach made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, allowing her to beautifully capture genuine moments. We absolutely love the stunning photos she delivered—they’re more than just pictures; they’re timeless memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Samantha, for your amazing work and for being such a wonderful part of our wedding day!

Don't Sacrifice what you want for your day. 

You only get married once! (mostly!) 

To me, your Elopement or Wedding day is more than just pleasing others and the photos. It's the experience we can create together and making it memorable for years to come.
