Welcome to my website, and let me introduce myself. I am Samantha-Jane and I am a Fine Art Portrait &Creative Wedding Photographer from Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. I am based between the whole of Scotland & France. I have been published in magazines such as “The Unfinished Mag”, “Stellar Exposure”, “The Bold and the Beautiful” , Photography and More”, ENVYD magazine, & Color Shot Magazine. I have my images exhibited at Shambellie House &The Glasgow Gallery of Photography. I hold a BA Hons & MA in Photography.
I love telling your story through the photographs I capture during our session, wedding, event or portrait, they all have a story to tell. I tailor each one uniquely & individually to your needs and personalities from shooting to editing.
Photography has always been a passion, long before I decided to do it professionally. I will work with you one to one all the way from preparations for a wedding to the details that you just have to have in a portrait session. I employ three different techniques when I shoot a wedding, I shoot candid to convey those moments when you just forget I am there, Traditional posed, which looks more editorial with a fine art edit, and lastly, creativity. That could be smoke bombs, Wedding Day sunglasses, mirrors, double exposures and many more.
My aim is to be accessible to everyone, putting my heart and soul in to every shoot regardless of the budget. During your Wedding shoot, I literally am your wing woman on the day, guiding you through it making your day individual to you!
What are you waiting for ? Contact me and lets start planning your special day!
What did my couples say about me?
“The damp Glencoe winter weather conditions didn’t deter Sam either! The final photos really tell the story of our day, capturing every special moment perfectly. Stylistically, her work is stunning and creative, Sam has a genuine talent for photography and an eye for the arts. Our wedding album is unique and reflects my husband and I, we’ll look back on these photos for years to come. Thank you Sam!” Alyssa & Thomas Lees – Feb 2024
Sam shot our wedding at the start of September and we couldn’t possibly have found a more perfect fit!! I got the best vibe right from the very first Face Time, and felt super confident the photos were in great hands. Laid back, cool, accommodating and 100% able to go with the flow and make it work and also just a genuinely lovely and fun person! In a short space of time she managed to capture the atmosphere and some very special moments, she even managed to get the best man to behave himself for the group photos!! Thanks again Sam, we really appreciate how easy going you were and the great energy you brought. Cannot recommend enough! Love The Delgados Oct 2025
“This isn’t just a recommendation for a photographer, Sam has truly became a friend to us, from the very first moment she made us feel completely comfortable. It feels like having someone you trust and enjoy sharing moments with. She is an absolute angel, we couldnt recommend her highly enough!! Danny Gossels January 2026
Sam shot our special day and she was great! From start to finish she was just on point with everything and couldn’t have asked for any better in our photos. Highly recommend Sam, she is so friendly and professional. Our photos are stunning Dyann McAllister Jan 2026
We hired Samantha for our August wedding around a year in advance, the whole experience was just wonderful!! She kept in contact throughout the year and then i met her a few weeks before the wedding and she put my mind at ease about everything!!! Nothing was a worry, she was a HUGE support the whole day!!! Nothing was too much to ask and she captured our day beautifully, cannot recommend enough, thanks so much Samantha!!! All my guests commented on how on the ball you were all day and night. Mr & Mrs Upton 15th August 2024

Experience
Whether it is a commissioned portrait or a beautiful group session, the outcome and methodology is the same. We work together collaboratively and make a great portrait in a setting of your choosing. Maybe a 1920’s style shoot or a work shoot or candid family portraits, I can cover all of this and at a great price, have a look through my images and reviews here and on social media.
I have undertaken 4 commissions, and many styled portraits. I have captured wedding days, engagements, events and baby portraits. I have been running my business for 7 years now and have a full studio set up ready with various backdrops of your choosing and location shoots also. If you would like to get in touch, please do so via the various outlets on social media, website or by phone,
