Goodness. That’s really the best word to describe everything I wanted to write. It describes the past year, that’s for sure. It’s been full of goodness. Amazing weddings and wonderful, funny, generous people. It’s also what I look for and strive for in my images. Goodness. Goodness of any sort – emotion, happiness, laughter, tears, joy, absolutely bricking it, doing shots at the bar once you’ve got the first dance over with, spending some time together in the midst of the madness – all of these things and more. I love looking back at my work from the year, not least because it reminds me of all those moments I lived through and captured, those moments that mean so much to other people. But also because it reminds me of where I’m going, what I’m aiming for and of exactly what things are important and what things I need to keep pursuing in my pictures. That goodness. That joy for life, that energy and emotion and love. So, in the midst of a rather grey and chilly January, I hope this brings some warmth to you and fills you with a bit of that goodness too. Watch the video, and if you want to see more of the individual images then scroll on down afterwards.
Thanks to everyone x
Wow! What a year mate. So much life and emotion caught in these images. Here’s to an equally brilliant 2018.
Holy cow – what a year dude!!! Incredible set!!!
lovely stuff from a lovely man! x The Iido shot and big door/little man are my favourites!
Goodness, what an awesome set Mr G! Love the guys with the 2 sparklers, and was that lady dancing with a bent butternut squash around her neck??? All the best for 2018 dude!
Some amazing photos on here, great work! Keep it up and keep inspiring :)
Big year!! so so good. Have the best 2018!
Love these Sam, so much life in your work. Have an amazing 2018!
Finally sat down and watched this – so many great expressions – perfectly timed! Well done mate and have a great 2018!
My goodness! What a breathtaking year! Hope you have an even better 2018!
Maja very much approves! ;) I should have filmed her reaction and post it as a comment, you’d love it.
Great eye throughout the set, tonnes of good vibes, I love the tender shots too – a perfect mix <3
So many amazing images! Stunning work Sam.
Love the delicacy of your processing Sam, and that shot of the baby giving you the evil eyes, classic!
So great Sam, full of colour, joy and fun! Such life in your photography :-)
Focus game is so on point, crazy sharpness on pretty much all of these shots. You definitly have enviable detail shots, some really well thought out compositions and immaculate finish. Plently of emotion, humour, layering and a way of telling the story in a not so obvious manner. Great work sir.
Really love the way you see and capture weddings.
wow, amazing collection of beautifully shot, beautifully composed imagery – great inspiration!
Superb Sambo. Your work is as inspiring as it was the day I first saw it.
