Sun. Rain. Wind. More Sun. Early mornings and late nights. Bouquets sitting patiently in water. The smell of hairspray. Lots of hairspray. Tissues and lip gloss being packed in to handbags. That one guest who’s always late, running into church. Rings that don’t. quite. fit. The first kiss. And the one after that. Confetti getting EVERYWHERE. That first, relieved, we’ve-actually-done-it sip of champagne. Children chasing balloons. High-five’s and handshakes. Ultra competitive jenga. Seeing your dad practicing his speech. Someone shrieking with laughter. Walking into the room and being hit by the sound of applause. The best man telling that one story that you assumed he wouldn’t. Hugs with your best friend. Ushers getting, um, merry. That quietly proud look that you didn’t notice your mum giving you. Cutting the cake… How do we cut the cake?! The super-choreographed footstep-perfect first dance. Or the awkward shuffle waiting for the song to end. Watching the sunset from the lawn. Tequila Slammers. Jaegerbombs. Toasting marshmallows on a fire. Playing with sparklers. Holding hands in the moonlight. All of these things and many, many more.

Outstanding year Sam, congratulations and wishing you all the best for the coming year!
My, what a busy year you’ve had! So much joy in these images. I love the little lad taking a sneaky sip of champagne, and the bride just about covering her modesty mid first dance. But to be honest, they are all incredible. Have a great 2015, Sam, hopefully with some added sleep :-)
Sam, WOW – so so good! You’ve had an amazing year
Boom. love the images..and love them words. All of this makes me smile..

Dude…these are incredible. Finally had a chance to look at this, and damn! So good bro! Burger on dude, burger on!
Absolutely outstanding. I remember I found your work back when I was getting started in this game and thought yes, that’s how it’s done. My thoughts are no different today. You’re a master my friend, a true master.
These are absolutely amazing! So many nice moments captured. The pants pic made me laugh!
