Lovely, made out day special

SO many people have said how lovely Sam was. We wanted to make sure we had a photographer who was personable and cared about what they did. Sam did this in every way! She made us feel comfortable (two usually photo phobic people). Can’t recommend enough. Thank you again x

Everything we could have hoped for and more.

Sam was incredible from start to finish. I knew that she was the photographer we wanted just from her portfolio, but the experience on the day went so far beyond our expectations. Everyone was commenting on how she put them all at ease, in fact a few people mistook her for a guest before they clocked the massive camera =D Probably the best thing she did though was take us away from the reception for 20 minutes to the Peace Garden a few streets away, to do our couple shoot in peace and quiet. It was so valuable for us to be able to steal a few minutes alone together and I absolutely cannot wait to see the finished photos. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding or for any event, you absolutely cannot do better in my opinion. Thanks for everything from Emi and Greg!

Fantastic!

Sam was our wedding photographer for our intimate wedding in September 2020. After we had to postpone from our original date in May, Sam was amazing.

From our initial meeting right through to the after care of our wedding, Sam was always on the other end of the phone.

On our wedding day, she did an amazing job. From the bridal prep right through to our golden hour photos, Sam was calm and professional. All of our guests commented on how lovely she is and how friendly she is.

In a nutshell, if you want amazing wedding photos from someone who loves their job, who is a little bit crazy (she had us laughing all day), makes an effort with every single wedding guest, goes above and beyond for you then book Rose and Rainbow Photography for your wedding...you won't regret it!

Exceptional talent!

Sam is such a lovely lady, she was fantastic will all of our guests & many messaged us after the wedding to let us know what a pleasure it had been talking to her at the wedding breakfast. Sam was so helpful throughout the wedding day and nothing was too much trouble for her. I hate having my photos taken and im highly critical of photos im in. When Sam delivered the photographs i was overwhelmed by the quality and fell in love with all of them, so much so i still cant narrow down which ones im displaying. Thank you Sam for capturing that special moment with my sons i will treaure that photo forever! I cant wait to book our family photoshoot next year!

Amazing photographer!

From our first meeting with Sam she made us feel so at ease and we were really excited for her to be capturing our day. On the day itself she didn't disappoint. She is so easy going and great to work with. We wanted our day to be fun and relaxed and she completely fit in with this. She was also so professional. It's clear she really loves her job and is amazing at it! We have recently come back from our honeymoon and have talked about the photos a lot and we are so excited to see the final products! We couldn't recommend Sam enough! Thank you! Michelle and Phill xx

Perfect Photographer

Photography was one of the most important things to me and my husband when booking our wedding. After all, its the thing you will be looking at in years to come. We wanted to make sure we found someone who had the perfect style we were looking for. Having found Sam online I knew instantly i had to find out if she was available and meet up to discuss our wedding. Right from this moment i knew she would be amazing and create the images we wanted. You couldn't ask for a better person. Sam has a love for photography that i didn't see with anyone else. She also understands that a wedding is the bride and grooms most important day and really does care about making everything perfect for you. The day went perfectly and with Sams help. She wasn't just the photographer, she was amazing with our family and friends and even showed my niece how her camera works. When we received our finished photos I was amazed by her work. She captured all the different emotions of the day, all the special moments and each and every single photo is just gorgeous. If you are looking for a photographer then i would definitely get in touch and see her work for yourself! Thank you again so much for your lovely work xxx

Sam is brilliant !!

I wasn't too bothered about choosing a photographer and was going to get the cheapest I could...
Luckily my now wife is much smarter than me and did a lot of searching around and came across rose & rainbow (Sam).. before the day we met up with Sam so that we could discuss the wedding and also Sam wanted to be sure that she was the right person for us (for me this says slot... she is not just looking to take any work for the money, she takes pride in what she does and wants to get it right ).. on the day we got much more than a photographer, it was a pleasure to have Sam at our wedding, she managed our guests brilliantly and pretty much everyone of them commented on how good she was! After spending time with Sam and seeing how enthusiastic she was I expected the pictures to be good ... Now we've received them we are honesty blown away at just how good they are ... It's only been a few months since we got married and the memories are fading fast... The pictures are so important because they are all we have left to look back and remember the day, Thankyou Sam for capturing such brilliant shots of each and every part of the day for us to remember! We are so happy with them, also will my wife stop crying everytime she looks at them eventually?

Excellent photographer!

Sam was more than a wedding photographer; she was like my right hand woman talking me through the day and supporting me throughout! I would have been lost without her and I've had so many messages from my friends telling me they loved my photographer! We saw some of the pics she took as we progressed through the day and could tell how amazing they will turn out. We are beyond excited to see the final products!

Wonderful!

When we first met Sam, we instantly felt connected and could easily tell that she has a huge passion for her work. Seeing her beautiful portfolio of work we knew that she could capture our day in the relaxed but gorgeous way we wanted and we were not disappointed.
On the actual day Sam was a lovely presence, she put myself and my camera shy wife at ease, and treated us like royalty! The images we got back were absolutely perfect and everyone we’ve shown them to has agreed that Sam did an outstanding job.
Thank you so much Sam for capturing our special day so beautifully xx

The Perfect Photographer

I could not recommend Sam more, she is not only incredibly talented and professional at what she does, she is also a lovely person. Everyone at our wedding commented on how lovely she was and she made every feel so comfortable, so none of our photos felt forced and nobody was anxious about a camera pointing at them! From the previews we've had and the engagement shoot photos we are so pleased and can't wait to look back at them in years to come (and hey maybe even show the grandkids one day!), thank you for everything Sam!

Amazing Person and Fabulous Photos

By far the best wedding photographer we could have wished for and more.
We met Sam for an engagement shoot before our wedding, and we knew from that moment she is was the photographer for us. Not not only did she capture beautiful photographs, she also captured the true sense of who we were as a couple. Her warmth and bubbly personality really put us at ease, and her professionalism and experience, made us feel that our wedding photos would be in safe hands. And they were. Thank you for being a rock to us through out our wedding, and thanks for the stunning memories you captured on film. Wendy and Rob x

Charlotte & Rob, Mill Barns in Alverly

Using Sam was the best decision we made for our wedding day.
From start to finish her professionalism and great communication made the process of booking her for our wedding, to the whole day itself stress free.

On the day Sam was amazing. As soon as she arrived for the stressful bridal prep with my bridal party her warmth relaxed the room and every single member of my party commented on how funny, relaxed and enjoyable she made our morning.

Through out the day she was just perfect. She took control of the group photos so all photos were shot stress free without having to go find family members every other shot!
That way our guests were able to enjoy our reception drinks whilst rob and I had our portrait photos. With these, Sam made sure she got exactly the photos we'd envisioned.

Through out the rest of the day she was just brilliant and this was relayed back to us by so many of our guests. Sam even took the time to speak to an anxious family member which I can't thank her enough for.
She didn't leave until well into the evening party and captured some amazing dance floor shots.

The photos there-selves are just priceless, we couldn't of asked for anything else.
After meeting Sam prior to booking to discuss what we'd like, she got everything perfect.
I wanted lots of candid shots of our day to really capture everyone's emotions and boy did she did deliver!
Looking through our photos you can see how much attention she pays to the guests and our interactions as all of our of special candid photos are of our really close family and friends, without any discussion from us.

When the photo book and box with our prints and usb arrived I was blown away by the extra effort put into the packaging and little special touches.

Sam was perfect start to finish and I can not recommend her enough. Thank you Sam for making our day so special and capturing moments we can cherish forever.

Natalie & Paul - The Dairy, Waddesdon

I had always thought that I wasn't really bothered about professional photographs of my wedding as I figured friends could just take them, but boy was I wrong. When I saw examples of Sam's work I was determined to have her capture my day with her fairy-tale style. From our first meeting with her she was just the nicest, most supportive and incredible photographer who listened to our slightly odd ideas and shared the love of all things hobbit! On the day she was simply amazing, so professional and assertive, she fitted in as another friendly face in our wedding. The pictures she got on the day were stunning and have captured so much happiness and love from everyone who shared the day with us with a pinch of Sam's wonderful editing to add an even more magical touch. Sam is incredible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful images.
