Samuel Box Photography Full Description
I could tell you about how I stay from three hours prior to the ceremony until after first dance or how you will get 500+ photographs but you can read about the specifics below. The real reason I think you should choose me to shoot your wedding is because I genuinely care about doing a fantastic job for you, and I am going to have fun doing it. I am probably not for you if - You want lots and lots of staged photographs - You aren't willing to have fun - You hate dogs (come on they are great). So you're interested. What do you get? - Full day photography from preparation until after first dance - 500+ Photographs - A 'Sneak Peek' of your photographs on the blog within 3 days - Travel within the South West Included - Images individually edited by myself in post production - A private online gallery that you can share with friends - Printing rights released to you - Images ready within only 6-8 weeks. Sound good? Great! Drop me a line or check out more of my work over on my website :)

Thanks so much for everything you did Sam!!
Sam was our wedding photographer at Walton Castle. He was amazing, our friends recommended him and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. He was amazing with our guests with lots of them commenting on how great he was. He was quick to respond to all emails and we got the sneak peak within a day or 2 after the wedding. Our full album was made available a few weeks later and we couldn't have been more pleased with the photos. Thanks so much for everything you did Sam!!

THE BEST OF THE BEST. Truly, thank you so much Sam
We had the pleasure of Sam capture our wedding day. Sam was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Before the day he was great at communicating and incredibly organised. On the day, he became our ultimate hype man - he brought the fun, endless enthusiasm and put everyone at ease. It genuinely felt like he joined the family. He navigated 150 people with skill and ease and every part of the day was captured - nothing was too much trouble.

We're trying to find an excuse to hire him again!
Sam was a brilliant photographer at our wedding on the 17.8.22. He was such a lovely person to have with you during the day and made everyone feel so relaxed. The photos are exactly as we wanted- relaxed, fun, beautiful, natural and gorgeously taken- Sam has a real eye for an interesting shot and we couldn't be happier with the results. We're just trying to find an excuse to hire him again now! Thanks Sam and hopefully see you again soon. The pooches Oscar and Ruby also say hi xx

It felt like he was part of the bridal party
Sam is an exceptional wedding photographer and we can’t recommend him highly enough. He took the time before the wedding to get to know us and what we wanted from the day. On the day he was so helpful it felt like he was part of the bridal party. He saw our list of tasks that needed to take place on the day and took it upon himself to make some of them happen! We wanted sparkler and confetti shots and Sam single-handedly organised all of the guests to give us the perfect photos tha...

Sam’s knowledge and cool calmness was priceless.
Samuel Box the man the LEGEND! How lucky and privileged we truly feel to have shared our big day with Sam. Sam’s knowledge and cool calmness was priceless. He played such a big part of making our day hilarious and run smoothly from start to finish. His humour and drive is truly exceptional he is one of a kind. We got married last Saturday and Sam’s sneak peak pictures are out of this world! I can’t wait to see what other gems he has come up with if that’s just a peak my goodness

I will treasure the photos forever
Sam was without a doubt the best photographer we could have chosen for our wedding day. Not only were his photos totally gorgeous but he was such an amazing part of our day. He made everyone laugh and smile with his infectious enthusiasm and yet also had the ability to disappear into the background so there are plenty of photos where I didn't even know he was there snapping away! I will treasure the photos forever of course but will also really treasure the memories of having Sam at our wedding.

The photos are simply, INCREDIBLE!
Sam is such a talented photographer and a genuinely fun, energetic and top man! We cannot recommend Sam enough. He made us feel calm throughout our wedding and provided so many laughs along the way. From initially chatting to Sam in the run-up to the big day and during our celebrations, Sam was truly amazing. Sam took the stress out of everything and made us feel so relaxed. When discussing the wedding day, Sam listened to our requests and incorporated his own professional opin...

I have already recommended him to everyone we know
Sam was hands down one of the best decisions we made in our wedding. Apart from the basics such as a great value package and 5* customer service, he was just wonderful to work with. He was one of our most responsive, flexible and transparent suppliers, which goes a long way in the stressful planning of a wedding! On the day he was a delight to all of our guests, great fun to be around and kept us relaxed and laughing throughout. He managed to capture some incredible details even I missed on the

Sam was everything we wanted and more!
Sam managed to maintain his high energy and positive vibes throughout the day to capture all of our special moments! It felt like having another friend at our wedding day! We were so happy with every picture from both our wedding and engagement shoot! So many compliments have been made from the day of Sam's skills and professionalism to asking for recommendations! Book him up!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

The last wedding I photographed on any given week! I am so emotionally invested in every wedding I shoot which is a gift and a curse. Being so involved means that I want to give my absolute best to every couple which is a lot of pressure! However it is this pressure that drives my work forwards and keeps me progressing.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Personal, genuine, natural, emotive, FUN!

What about your business are you most proud of?

One of the things I often get praised for is one of the things I put the least effort into which is my conduct on the day. I am not a fan of blowing my own trumpet so I will let my facebook reviews do the talking here!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Just one tip? Head over to my blog for my post on 5 wedding planning recommendations :)

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I really, really appreciate personal touches. I am often booked to shoot DIY weddings which I LOVE as everything has a little more meaning when it has been created by the very families involved in the wedding. Additionally, I really like things in weddings that have a special significance to the couple. Whether this be centrepieces relating to their travels together or little things to remember absent friends and family, these are the things that can really make a wedding extra special.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

How can you possibly have a typical process when every couple is so different?! I guess my general style is to be very open and listen to what the couple are looking for. If this means not taking a booking because my style isn't what they are after, I would rather do that than disappoint. I also want to get to know the couple. I want them to think of me almost as a guest at the wedding who is going to capture them beautiful images, not that annoying, bossy photographer that everyone has seen before!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Some couples have a gentle, romantic kind of love. Some couples have a goofy, playful kind of love. Some have a bit of both, others have something different altogether. In my eyes, the number one photograph every couple should have is one that shows the true nature of their relationship. This is why some of my photographs show couples looking longingly into each others eyes, and others show them stuffing corn in each others ears! It all depends on the dynamic between the two.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

The groom I am shooting at the weekend is getting up on the stage mid set to play drums with the band, seriously excited to shoot that!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Making plans for rain prior to the wedding means you can still make the most of the day if it does happen. Not only this but you won't be so worried about the possibility of rain if you know you have a fantastic day planned either way! If the weather forecast is looking a bit dubious, buy a bunch of large, clear umbrellas. This way, you can still get some shots outside. Rain can be used to get some really cool, dramatic shots!

Describe how you got into photography.

I can hardly remember a time when I didn't take photographs. To be honest, it is just a passion that has got wildly out of hand in the best of ways!
