THE FACE BEHIND
SAM HANLEY PHOTOGRAPHY
“She has found her calling doing this, and I'd recommend her time and time again.
My guests were extremely impressed with her and I have gotten nothing but compliments when sharing her work with family and friends.”
How I fell in love with weddings
After spending 6 years working as a studio photographer, I had the opportunity to capture a friend’s wedding back in 2021. The experience completely transformed my understanding of how human connection, photography and art intersect. I learned the importance of lending space for couples to be present, vulnerable and authentic. It’s what I want for myself when I get married someday. Four years later, photographing weddings has become my passion, my raison d’être.
I specialize in being a witness on your wedding day, creating imagery that preserves moments as they happened in their purest, realest form. With this approach, you can expect me to stand alongside you as a trusted friend and expert moment-chaser.

“Sam was one of our favourite vendors for our wedding. She needed no hand holding, understood what we wanted right away, delivered photos far sooner than could have been expected, is incredibly talented. She really leans into her style which was the first reason for choosing her, and she is just a genuinely kind person. We can’t wait to book her for future shoots.” - S & H
