About

If you're looking for a photographer who will capture your wedding day with artistry and authenticity, I'd love to be part of your journey.
I'm Sam, a wedding photographer based in Hampshire, and I've recently taken a big leap. After years of working in serious corporate banking jobs, I decided to trade spreadsheets for storytelling, turning my passion for photography into a full-time career.

My love for photography isn't new. I grew up on a busy street near the Itchen Bridge in Southampton, where I often escaped the city's fast pace by exploring local parks or wandering the New Forest with my brother. There was something about the tranquillity of nature that always felt like home. In 2014, I bought my first serious camera, and that's when everything changed—I fell in love with wildlife photography. I spent hours waiting patiently for those fleeting, breathtaking moments, and over time, I realised this same approach applied beautifully to wedding photography.

My style is all about capturing authentic emotions—the unguarded laughter, the quiet, tender glances, and the moments you don't even realise are happening. I work in the background, letting your day unfold naturally while I document the magic as it happens. Whether it's a golden sunset, the embrace of loved ones, or the joy in your eyes as you say, "I do," my goal is to tell a timeless, heartfelt story.
I'd love to hear your story. I'm currently offering a free hour engagement shoot to any couple who's considering hiring me. This gives us all the chance to get to know each other and for you to get used to being in front of the camera before the big day. The photos are yours to keep with no obligation.

We highly recommend Sam

It was a real pleasure to have Sam be a part of our big day. We really appreciated the time he spent scouting out locations, meeting us before the day for an engagement shoot, turning up in really good time on the day, being in tune with us and all the high quality photos.
We valued his friendly approach which made us feel at ease the whole time.
We would recommend Sam to family and friends

Sam captured our day perfectly!

Sam was photographer for our wedding. From the very beginning Sam was wonderful to work with, he went to the extra effort of arranging a pre-wedding shoot which put us at ease, and come the wedding day we felt entirely natural in front of the camera, and with Sam.

Sam’s knowledge and skill came through in the photos we’ve received (within just a few days!), and we couldn’t have asked for better photos for our day. Sam was excellent in arranging people for specific shots and groups, whilst also seamlessly blending in throughout the day and evening for beautiful candid photos which captured our day wonderfully.

We would highly reucommend Sam for anyone looking for a photographer!

Great Photographer!

We had the pleasure of working with Sam for our wedding breakfast and evening reception, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning—natural, full of emotion, and beautifully lit, even in the evening setting. Sam has a real talent for capturing candid, joyful moments without being intrusive, and the final gallery truly tells the story of our night.
We highly recommend Samuel Curtis Photography to anyone looking for a warm, skilled, and professional photographer for their special day!

Samuel has taken the most stunning photographs for my son’s and also my friend’s wedding. He has a calm and relaxed approach, is flexible, adaptable, and genuinely cares about offering an excellent service. His photographs capture precious moments in an imaginative and creative way. I can thoroughly recommend him.

As a professional wedding florist, I have enlisted Samuel Curtis Photography in capturing details of bouquets and buttonholes for professional use. I have always found him to be extremely professional and approachable. A joy to work with.
