I am Sam reid
Hey, I’m Sam... the guy behind the camera.
I’m a wedding photographer who loves beautiful imagery, but I care even more about the people in it. I want your photos to feel like you, the stupid laughs, the quiet moments, the chaos, the nerves and all the little things you probably didn’t even realise were happening.
My approach is a mix of editorial and documentary. Coming from a background in high-end fashion and editorial portraiture, I bring a different eye to weddings, one that notices the details, the light, the composition and all the little things that turn a photograph into something more. I’ll give you direction when you need it, hype you up when things feel awkward, and disappear into the background when the moment deserves to just happen.
Outside of photography, I’m usually at church, at the gym, spending way too much money on food, or convincing myself I definitely need another piece of camera gear.
And yes, somewhere on this website, there is footage of eight-year-old me dancing.
Consider that proof, I’m willing to embarrass myself before I ever make you feel awkward in front of the camera.
 
 
“The moments you remember wont always be the ones you planned"
The nervous laughs. The way they looked at you when no one was watching. Your people are losing it on the dance floor. The quiet moments in between.
That’s what I’m here to capture.
 
 
MORE THAN A PHOTO
Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot. It’s one of the few days when almost everyone you love is in the same place.
So while I’ll always chase beautiful light, considered compositions and those editorial frames you’ll want on your wall, I’m just as interested in everything happening in between.
The nervous hands. Your best mate is losing it during the speech. Your parents are watching from across the room. The completely unplanned moments that end up meaning the most.
I want your photos to look beautiful now and mean even more in 30 years.
