Exceptional

Where do I start? The experience I had with Sam of Rose and Rainbow was incredible. We booked her for a sunset shoot as well as our wedding day and we had the best experience. She is a master at her craft and has an eye and is ready to put in the work. She is so easy and fun to work with, down to earth and just a joy to be around.

We first chatted over a video call. Sam was very interested in knowing the venue, our style and our vibe. We liked her immediately. She was professional and forthright and was on the same page as us all the way. We decided pretty last minute that we wanted to get some additional couple shots at sunset the day before our wedding. We messaged her and she got back to us immediately. Thankfully she was available and loved the idea.

Upon meeting her we lead her around the venue showing her some spots we thought would be lovely. And she snapped right into it, capturing poses, smiles, laughs, action shots, profiles, weird goofy moments which all came out stunning. She took hundreds. And the laughs and smiles were so genuine. Something that could very easily be awkward (posing, dipping, kissing, embracing) in front of another person was effortless and fun. She sent over the previews the same night and I was and still am amazed. To look as beautiful as I felt in that moment is an incredible feeling.

She came back the next day for the wedding and it was like seeing an old friend. She met the family, the make-up and hair people and blended so wonderfully into a whirlwind day. She knew the best shots, the best lighting and the best poses to capture the dress, my makeup, the shoes, the cake, the flowers, our family, everything. She got candids of the guests and the groom and was literally my eyes for much of the day that I couldn’t see. She is professional, concise, approachable and communicative and will ensure you are made to feel beautiful and comfortable throughout.

I got the preview for the wedding the next day. Again, incredible. Weddings are special, but they go by quick, and after all the planning and preparing you don’t always get to take in everything in the moment. Looking back at these photos (and these are just the previews) is a magical experience. I haven’t gotten back my full photo album of the day but I truly can’t wait. I can’t wait to relive the day, to admire the details, to feel the feelings and excitement of that day all over again. And Sam made this happen.

So Rose and Rainbow is fantastic, a professional, an artist who will take the time to capture the joy and feeling and beauty of your special day. 10/10 would recommend.

Sam goes above and beyond!

Sam is a wonderful bubbly lady who went above and beyond for us despite having lots of setbacks! She handled the day with grace and with immense pride in her work! You can really tell how passionate Sam is to make sure she gets the best photos! I would wholeheartedly recommend Sam to anyone and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do our wedding. Sam made all of our guests feel comfortable and made me feel so special. Sam has great ideas and knowledge behind her photos and is so creative with different shot ideas!

We highly recommend Sam.

It is very difficult to put into words just how fabulous Sam is as a photographer and as a person. She instantly put us at ease with her careful planning and pre-wedding call. She is the perfect balance of friendly and professional. Our guests loved her and it’s so clear that this is more than just a job to Sam. It was just like having another guest at our wedding. Our sneak preview is amazing. Sam really knows how to take a dull background and turn it into something special (she made a cold December wedding look fabulous). Thank you so much Sam, you are amazing x

Roses and Rainbows Photography. Sam is the best, look no further for fabulous, classy and stylish wedding photography

We cannot praise Sam highly enough she is a fabulous wedding photographer. Our photos were absolutely gorgeous, she has a unique style which must be seen to be appreciated catching all your precious memories in a very natural way. She is also a great person, and a lovely person to have on your wedding day. She has a lovely calm and reassuring presence and she is very unobtrusive, most of her work is catching natural moments throughout the day and you dont even know she is there. She has a classy and I would say timeless style, cannot recommend Sam hightly enough.

Professional. Organised. Charismatic.

I was drawn to Sam initially from her candid style of photography that really captured the heart of the wedding. She was warm and cheerful from the get-go. She was very organised and easy to work with beforehand, and happy to accommodate our long list of organised group photos. On the day she took some stunning photos, and had multiple lists printed and ready to read from. My husband and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of cameras, but she really put us at ease and we’re so happy with the previews that we’re already leaving a good review!

Sam is the best, highly recommend!

Sam was amazing, she knew how to put me my partner and all our guests at ease. She has an amazing skill of making it feel natural easy & fun but also making sure to secure all the shots you’d asked for as well as ones you didn’t know you needed! She worked so hard for us to capture our special day. Highly recommend !

Incredible!

We had the absolute pleasure of Sam photographing our wedding on Saturday 4th October. I don't think I can put into words how kind, caring and incredible she is. She made everyone feel at ease, everything felt natural and the shots we have received in our sneak peak pack are absolutely gorgeous.

From the moment Sam arrived at the venue, she took so much care and attention to capture all of the important moments with absolute professionalism. Her planning was meticulous - she really worked some magic with how and when to get the most beautiful images for us.

All evening, our guests told us how lovely and personable Sam was during the day and I couldn't agree or thank her more. Just incredible!

Absolutely amazing!

Sam was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was there for every moment, from the first look with my dad, right through to after the speeches, and made us feel so comfortable the whole time.

Within 48 hours she’d sent over a sneak peek and we were blown away — the photos were gorgeous, so rustic and breathtaking, exactly what we wanted. We can’t wait to see the full gallery, but even from what we’ve had already, we know she’s captured our day perfectly.

On top of being so talented, Sam is just lovely to have around. She’s great value for money, really flexible, and such a calming presence on the day. We honestly couldn’t recommend her enough & hope to keep in touch for every other life event!

Thank you so much again Sam!🥰

The BEST photographer

Sam is a master at her craft. She was brilliant from the off & for a bride who hates having her photo taken she instantly put me at ease. Not to mention how many beautiful photos she captured! We honestly couldn’t thank you enough Sam & would love to book you in the future!

Absolutely Perfect

Samantha not only captured our wedding day wonderfully (and made us look great!) - with a brilliant mix of candid and posed photos, but was also lovely to work with. Always easy to reach and prompt to reply - and provided an extremely quick turnaround on our pictures, so we weren't waiting long.

Additionally; she made my wife and her bridesmaids feel extremely comfortable when she was with them getting ready - and was even happy to lend a hand.

I can't recomend her highly enough.

Attentive, calm and amazing

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sam—they were truly a dream to work with! From the moment we met, I felt so comfortable and knew we were in great hands. Sam has an amazing ability to capture not just moments, but emotions. Every photograph tells a story, and it’s clear that they are passionate about their craft.

On our wedding day, Sam was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. They blended seamlessly into the day, making us feel at ease and never once felt intrusive. Their calm and reassuring presence made the entire experience feel natural, even during the more chaotic moments of the day.

The photographs are absolutely stunning. We were blown away by how perfectly they captured every detail—from the intimate, candid moments to the grand celebrations. Sam has such an eye for the perfect shot, and every picture feels timeless and full of life. The lighting, composition, and emotion in each photo is incredible—it's as if they knew exactly what moments to focus on and how to bring out the best in every scene.

What I appreciated most was how Sam made sure to get to know us before the big day, and how they captured our personalities and the essence of our love. We were not only given beautiful posed photos but also the raw, genuine moments that we will treasure forever.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, look no further than Sam. I can't recommend them enough! Our photos are absolutely priceless, and we’ll cherish them for a lifetime. Thank you for making our special day even more unforgettable.

Fantastic!

Sam is nothing short of amazing. We were lucky enough to have a couples shoot and Sam was so accommodating with our request (7.30am start on a cold November morning!)

We felt comfortable from the moment we were all together and the whole experience was a joy. We couldn't have had a more perfect day for it.

Her vision for a shot and attention to the details was outstanding. We had our images back the same day and we were completely blown away by how incredible they are.

I cannot recommend Sam enough and we can't wait to have her back for our wedding!

The best photographer! Incredible photos!!!

We hired Sam for our engagement and the photos came out incredible! She was there on time and had scouted the area, was a great communicator and the photos turned out incredible! Much more than I ever had hoped for, she's incredible. I would highly highly highly recommend Sam as your photographer for engagement and all other forms of photography. We love the photos! Such a special time!

Absolutely fabulous!

I booked Sam after seeing a friend’s gorgeous photos of their wedding and we weren’t disappointed.

Sam went through everything with us in advance of the day so we knew exactly what to expect, and made us feel at ease right from the start.

The day went exactly to plan and Sam’s style of shooting is so natural rather than posed. She made eveyone feel at ease and we had so much fun shooting our couples shots. I hope she enjoyed it as much as we did.

Our photos are stunning, there are so many to choose from, we’ve struggled to shortlist our final set of prints! Lots of our guests have complimented Sam, everyone loved her.

Thank you so much Sam for capturing our day so beautifully.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
