What are you looking for in your wedding photography? Want it to be stylish and natural? Authenitc and enjoyable? A stress free experience that shows your day as beautiful as it was? An experience that is fun, light hearted and an enjoyable part of your wedding journey?

My name is Samantha Portman. I am a modern photographer for modern couples, I create stylish, authentic and beautiful wedding photography to record your day in a way you will be proud of. I shoot in an unobtrusive manner, in doucmentary style which leaves you free to enjoy your day. I also pair this with super stylish portraits of you and your partner so you can have photos of you both youll want to share and hang on the wall.

Alongside my experience in the TV and film industry ( I have many an anecdote !) I have two decades of experience within the wedding industry. This means I am always here to help with any aspect of your day. Ask me anything I will happily provide answers and advice however often you wish.

I am the down to earth supplier who will most likely feel like a friend, I will be in your corner helping from start to finiish. On the wedding day I like to work in a relaxed manner and I am well experienced at staying that way even in the most stressful of situations.

For your wedding day I offer an alternative to the sometimes expected or cheesy wedding photography. Ofcourse we grab those traditional group shots for mum and dad but most of the time you can sit back relax, party and I will ensure to capture it in a way that relfects you at your very best. I work in candid way for most of the day with nothing posed. But for the couple shoot and your bridal/groom party shots I am here to make it fun and unique. I love doing this and so do my couples. Together we create those group shots that not only show you at your killer best self but you and your friends also have a blast doing it.

I live in the Essex countryside with my son but I always have my foot in East London shooting weddings and for commercial clients. I LOVE to travel the UK and I shoot weddings frequently all over the country. I have a love affair with the country side and the English coastline. I reguarly go away for the weekend to Brighton and shoot for many clients down there. I think im your typical city dweller who loves the city but loves to relax in the countryside as often as possible. Having lived in central London for many many years I am so tuned into the fashionable London wedding and feel aligned with those couples. But im fortunate enough to have a wide breadth of clients and shooting weddings in the English countryside is something I have enjoyed more and more. I am there to shoot your memories in the mood you set. So whether that is an elegant city wedding or a boho festival wedding in the countryside I adapt, tune in and capture your day showing you at your very best.
