Samantha Heather Photography

There are no words to describe how incredible it was to work with Sam! We first did an engagement shoot with her - which we would highly recommend - she made us feel so comfortable and excited and the photos were amazing! So lovely to have. Sam was so patient with us as Covid changed our plans and made the process of us changing things so smooth. Once our wedding day came around she brought so much calmness to the room. She captured the most amazing shots and made everything so much fun! We really value all she did for us and how well she brought our special day to frame capturing memories that we can keep forever!!

We are so happy we booked Sam for our wedding day. From the very start she was really easygoing and made us feel super comfortable on the day. We don't love getting our photo taken, so thinking about our wedding photos made us quite nervous, but Sam made it such a great experience and we are absolutely in LOVE with our pictures!

Booking Sam as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we have made.From our very first inquiry, we knew that Sam was the right person to trust with our wedding. We were immediately drawn to Sam’s incredible body of work, her way with words and the warmth and tenderness with which she captures her clients. Chatting with Sam felt natural and comfortable. Her kindness and genuine interest in our story and our plans put us at ease, and she gave us confidence with her effortless professionalism.Throughout our planning process, Sam was a wealth of knowledge, and she was generous with her time, insight and advice. She was a responsive communicator who was flexible and adaptive to change, taking it all in her stride with a calm assurance that settled our nerves. Sam asked all the right questions and welcomed our input, so her approach and coverage felt aligned with what we wanted.With a camera in hand, Sam was the perfect balance of upbeat hype girl and silent shadow who captured everything from the big milestones to the moments in-between. When she wasn't snapping away, she was the BTS MVP - reminding us to drink enough water, fixing our dresses and always one step ahead so everything ran smoothly.As a queer, plus-sized couple, there is something very powerful about seeing yourself photographed in such an aspirational way, especially when you don’t fit the conventional standard of beauty. Sam empowered us to step out of our comfort zone with confidence and celebrate with pride. The trust we put in her has been rewarded with an incredible wedding experience and photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

Sam was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. She is friendly, easy to work with and takes stunning imagery. We received hundreds of image from our wedding in a matter of weeks. The photos are something I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Sam!

Samantha recently captured our wedding in November and she was absolutely incredible. The photos (which we got a week earlier than expected!) are beautiful and we are so glad we chose her. Our favourite thing looking back on the photos is the variety of moments she captured, she snapped the perfect balance of sentimental, emotional, joyous and fun. She was absolutely delightful, professional, helpful, friendly and I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to anyone! Thanks for everything behind the camera, behind your computer, and on ground on the day that you did to make it so perfect Sam. Best photographer ever! Rach & Robbie xx

Sam is not only an amazing and very talented photographer, she is also a wonderful person to add to your wedding team and makes everyone feel happy, relaxed and supported in front of the camera.We first did an engagement shoot with Sam - which we would definitely recommend - in the suburb where we live and it was a great way to get comfortable with her style and in front of the camera. The photos were beautiful and great to have in the lead up to the wedding!When we got the final wedding photos back we were so happy with how natural they were and how many intimate moments were captured. The photos will help us remember the smallest, beautiful moments of our wedding forever, and we can't thank Sam enough for that!

I cannot thank Sam enough, her work is outstanding. Sam truly captures every moment of the night and artfully curated our wedding gallery to tell the story of our wedding day. From bridal prep nerves, to the groom shedding a tear as the flower girls walked down the aisle and then the reception and dance floor that followed- capturing all the laughs and sentimentality.Sam was such a calm presence, as soon as she arrived at bridal prep- calmness I desperately needed because the reality of the day was starting to set in for me! We genuinely loved Sam being part of our wedding, super professional, while also very chill.Thank you so much Sam, we are so grateful for everything you had done for us. We cannot thank you enough, the pictures of our wedding are treasured. Looking through our gallery from start to end there really is a story capturing each moment and memory in between.

Sam was an absolute delight to work with. Sam was really easy to work with in the lead up to our wedding day, was great at communicating and really put our minds at ease about the whole day. On the day itself, Sam brought great energy to every part of the day. She worked well with our families and friends, was invisible during the ceremony but got all the perfect shots, and kept our day moving along nicely. We trusted Sam to direct our shoots and locations and she delivered big time. After the wedding Sam was still great to talk with and she turned around the full collection of photos really quickly. We would definitely recommend Sam to anyone who was after the perfect wedding photographer.

Sam, you were amazing in every way possible. Thank you so so much for capturing our day absolutely perfectly.From start to finish the experience of using your services was top tier. I felt like I had one of my best friends with me throughout the whole day. You made both Anthony and I feel super comfortable and made sure we had a great time in every moment. We both could not be happier with the outcome of the photos and have had the impossible task of only choosing a few favourites for our home (and this review). We will be coming to you for any future photos as well as singing your name to all of our friends and family from here forward. Thank you Sam! xx

My wife and I got married one year ago today on February 3rd 2018.In the lead up to our wedding we met with over 10 different photographers, and just as we were getting sick of searching, we came across Samantha Heather’s advertisement on Facebook. It depicted her not only as a professional, but as someone who loved life as much as we do, and someone worth speaking to. We decided to meet with Samantha to talk through her packages; this turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the time we met her, she didn’t try to sell herself as a photographer; she instead took an interest in our lives, our family, and the kinds of things we had dreamt of for our wedding day. She was polite, fun, and helped us to become even more excited about our day. We knew we had found the right photographer.Sam tailored an engagement shoot into our package and this is when we really realised how much we had struck the jackpot. We don’t really ‘do’ photos, but Samantha led us through the whole shoot in such a way that it didn’t even feel like we were posing. She laughed with us, whilst taking the most incredible photos. We received the photos and felt at peace, knowing our Wedding photos would be just as great. Furthermore, we knew that we wouldn’t be stressing on our big day, wondering if our photographer would get ‘all the right shots’.Our Wedding day went just as seamlessly. Sam and her co-shooter worked together as a great team to capture all the memories that we will cherish forever. One thing we were stressing about was how the family photos were going to go, but Sam handled this process with grace, patience, and ensured that these were done in a timely and efficient manner. We had multiple comments from our families about how professional and friendly she was through this process.Sam had already scouted some fantastic sites for our bridal party photos; another component that we needn’t worry about. She ensured we got a good mix of bridal party photos, and portraits for ourselves. At the reception she worked to ensure we had a mix of casual, and formal shots, whilst adding her own unique touch to the photos.Sam sent us through some sneak-peeks whilst we were on our honeymoon and we were in awe and we couldn’t contain our excitement to see the rest. Soon enough we received a personalised package in the mail with our photos. We have spent countless hours since reminiscing on the day, with friends and family. The photos, rich in colour, details and memories, will be with us forever; for that we are grateful.Thank you, Sam, for your incredible attention to detail. Thank you for being sensitive to what we had hoped for in our wedding photos. Thank you for your professionalism and for making us feel so at ease with you as our photographer.We can’t wait to have you conduct another shoot for us in the future… Maybe next time in Tassie!Chris and Jess Nalder
