Why Choose a Documentary Wedding Photographer for Your Big Day
Sam GibsOn Weddings - Somerset wedding photographer
I'm Sam, a skilled Somerset wedding photographer with years of experience documenting nuptials in Somerset, the UK, and Europe. Through my photography, I've had the opportunity to work with couples from a wide range of cultures and religions in a variety of interesting settings, ranging from the conventional to the downright bizarre and everything in between.
As a wedding photographer getting to know you, your goals, and your comfort zones is one of my favourite things to do. Without trying to push you or any of your guests outside of their comfort zones, I am enthusiastic about taking photographs that are natural and tell the story of your wedding day. I am also aware that the wedding location you have selected is a reflection of your unique personality.
what you like. your aspiration. I've captured weddings at unique locations like Hilles House in Stroud, elegant settings like Foxhill Manor tucked away in the Cotswolds, and rural settings like Quantock Lakes in Bridgwater in Somerset. I enjoy modifying my abilities to fit each unique situation.
