“Sam was absolutely incredible. I'd recommend him again and again, and haven't stop receiving compliments on the photos. I briefly described what I was after, and Sam completely understood it and didn't need any direction. He made me and my guests feel comfortable. And most importantly, captured all the beautiful, spontaneous moments of the day. His pictures showed the joy and love we felt on the day - all within four hours! And a huge bonus: he was also the most affordable photographer we found! Thank you, Sam!”

"Cannot recommend Sam enough!! We have booked him twice now for a family photo shoot and our wedding. He has so much talent & is so professional. His kind, easygoing nature is reflected in his photographs by how relaxed people are when he snaps them. He is fantastic at directing you & making you feel great with his positive feedback. Thanks again Sam, we love you!"
Madeleine Allgood
"If I could give Sam more than 5 stars, I would!
I don't know where to even start with describing how amazing Sam was during the lead up to and the actual day of my wedding. His communication was great! Replied to all my emails so fast and was so reassuring! His pricing is so great and worth every penny!
I saw pictures of Sams work beforehand but it wasnt until I saw my own photos that i realised just how talented he is! I am a very picky person when it comes to photos of myself, and there is not a single photo that sam took, that i did not love!
On the day, he was amazingly nice and had a smile the entire time. One thing i worried about prior to the wedding was feeling uncomfortable getting photos of myself taken but Sam made us feel so comfortable and so natural while he shot our photos. He was nice, friendly, and was interested in having good conversations and was so easy going with any ideas we had for pictures! He really captured our love and silly sides during the shoot. And I'm so grateful to have these amazing photos for the rest of our lives.
He was fast at sending back the edited photos and they are all so magical, i fell inlove with each and every photo.
Honestly could not be more happy with our choice to choose Sam to capture the memories of our day and would recommend him to anyone 110% !
Thankyou Sam! You are truely talented in what you do and we are so grateful to have gotten the chance to meet you and have you as our photographer!
I could continue writing about how great Sam is, but I think I've made my point!"
Thankyou Sam!"

Bill Cameron
"I decided to get Sam out for my very first business photo shoot and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Sam was super easy going, friendly and professional, which made me (camera shy) feel really comfortable. The quality of his photos are incredible, even with horses and dogs that were moving around, and his prices are really fair. He was willing to travel which was something a lot of photographers wouldn’t do or were going to charge me a lot for. Best value for money photographer and I will 100% be using him in the future and referring to all of my friends and family. Thanks again Sam!"
Brianna Bowkett
"I had the pleasure to work along side Sam for a recent collaboration with other local wedding vendors. He is truely talent at his work and captures the true emotion of any moment.

I would highly recommend Samuel White Photography for any occasion x"

"We definitely made the right choice when we booked Sam to be our wedding photographer.
From our very first meeting, Sam and Nat were friendly, relaxing and professional. In the lead up to the wedding, Sam would always respond promptly to my emails and on the day they ensured that they got all of the must-have photos that We had requested.
On our wedding day Sam and Nat were nothing short of amazing. Sam and Nat made the whole bridal party relax and enjoy themselves. They worked quickly and ensured we remained on schedule. Looking back at our wedding photos now, we absolutely love what Sam has done and couldn’t be happier. Sam captured each moment perfectly and the photos are relaxed and natural.
Thank you Sam and Nat for providing us with the perfect memories that we will cherish forever."

He is so genuine and non intrusive in his work that we were able to enjoy the day without being behind a camera ourselves, but still get lasting memories."
Sarah East
"Sam was so wonderful! He photographed our wedding at the Worrowing Estate and we could not have been happier with his service. He was very professional and paid close attention to all the little details to ensure that the photos were perfect. He went above and beyond to ensure he would provide what we were after.
He captured so many special moments that we can re-live through for the rest of our lives. His portfolio speaks for itself but he was also very kind and helped calm my nerves before the ceremony. Getting our photos done with Sam was fun, relaxed and comfortable. We really enjoyed the experience and the photos turned out magical.
He also collaborated with our other suppliers leading up to the day to ensure the photos would look the best they could.
All of our guests loved him and he fit right in. By the end of the night Sam’s presence felt like he was a welcomed guest and we loved having him there. We could not recommend Sam enough and we look forward to seeing his future projects."
Melissa Barnes
"Samuel was a full time paparazzi photographer at my company Instar for a period of six years. Samuel proved himself to be a reliable employee whose dedication and commitment to his photography was acknowledged by both colleagues and clients. He consistently achieved pleasing results in shooting celebrities on the street which resulted in regular sales from magazines and online publications. He demonstrated a commitment to the company through the flexible hours he worked and willingness to cover various events. Samuel is talented at taking photos as well as editing the images in Photoshop and Lightroom. It is without any reservation I recommend Sam for any work."
Sarah Quinn
"A dear friend recommended Sam as a photographer and I am so pleased she did. We had a surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary Luncheon for my parents and I really wanted a photographer to be there to just capture natural moments of our family and friends together. Sam from the first point of contact was an absolute pleasure to deal with and the photos are amazing. Sam was so professional and moved seamlessly throughout the afternoon that we forgot he was there capturing the day. I know now and in the future these photographs are going to be treasured memories to us all.
I would highly recommend Sam for anyone looking for a professional photographer with a great focus on his clients wants and needs."
Melissa Williams

The shoot only took an hour which was more than enough time, including me having a couple of wardrobe changes. He was so friendly and the photos he sent us were just beautiful. Thank you Sam, will definitely be getting you to do our family photos in the future."

"My maternity shoot was nothing but an empowering, comfortable and enjoyable experience with Sam. He was able to fit me in at the last minute (due to briefly visiting the South Coast) however allowed for an unrushed and calm time together. He had all of the equipment, knowledge and experience to create the emotion that I wanted from the pictures and was super prompt at getting the final copies to my email.
Sam was an absolute pleasure to work with and will definitely pursue his talents again to document the many milestones of life that are yet to come!
Thank you once again, Sam.
Much love xx"

“If your thinking about booking Sam for your wedding, stop thinking about it and just DO IT! He is absolutely amazing and I can promise you that you won't regret it. Our photos turned out absolutely amazing, I'm so grateful that we will have such wonderful photos of our very special day to cherish forever. Sam was always ready and prepared to capture those spontaneous moments. looking back at some of the photos I didnt even know he was there at the time and they just look so natural. All our guests loved him and couldn't stop telling us what a nice guy he was and what a good choice we made. We will definitely be using Sam again in the future hopefully for a family session when our newest addition arrives.”
Elise Stevenson
“Sam was a true professional from start to finish. Easy to book in and communication was excellent. He made out little family feel comfortable from the start and the photo shoot was more like family time than anything else.
The turnaround on the photos was well within the 2 week timeframe and the photos turned out exactly how we wanted them.
Can recommend Sam to anyone looking for a relaxed feel photoshoot.
Thanks Sam from the Walker Family.”
Nathan Walker
“Sam has recently photographed my wedding late March which also included our gender reveal.
We have already received the photos back - AMAZING turn around time.
The whole day/night Sam just moved his way around the room and we didn't even realize he was there capturing photo's, and sooo many of our guests said the same thing. We received some sneak peak photos the next day - which we LOVED and have now our whole collection - and it was amazing to feel like I relived the whole day again.
These photo's will be cherished forever.
Already in the works of planning a trip to the South Coast with our expecting baby girl for a family shoot with Sam :)
Love your work - Thank you”

“I feel like we only got married yesterday and we already have the USB of our wedding photos! Such a quick turnaround!!
The USB was personally delivered to us by Sam’s wife, Natalie and it came in the most beautiful glass trinket box with a lot of lovely personal touches. This was a very heartwarming and lovely gesture!
We absolutely love all the photos - they are incredible!! Everyone that has seen them is absolutely in love with them as well! You have serious talent and we were so excited to see them all and relive what we consider to be one of the best days of our lives; which had a lot to do with your inclusion!
Thank you for going above and beyond, you were so relaxed and friendly. It was such a pleasure to work with you and you made us feel so comfortable posing for photos. We also really appreciate the extra time you stayed at our reception to capture our first dance and some great dancing shots of everyone after!
Once again, we are so happy with our photos and that we chose you as our photographer! You have an incredible eye for a great shot!
We will definitely be recommending you to everyone!”

From our first meeting with Sam, we knew our wedding was in safe hands! Sam and Nat have such a relaxed, fun and caring vibe, and are able to capture incredibly candid, moving photos in such a comfortable way.
Communication was a breeze, nothing was too big or small of an ask, and we are absolutely elated with the images that were captured from the day.

Thankyou both again so much!”

“Samuel photographed our wedding in January. Him and his wife Natalie were just amazing. They were friendly, relaxed, and obviously very talented. Thomas and I couldn't be happier with our photos. They were given to us only a short time after the wedding and he captured every moment perfectly.
I would recommend Samuel White Photography to anyone!”

Anthony Spencer
“Can’t thank Sam enough for helping us capture our wedding! He was really easy to communicate with living far away and helped find location shots nearby that we loved. I was worried I would be conscious of someone taking photos all night but Sam is so easy going and captured so many wonderful pictures while we enjoyed our night. We were amazed by how quickly he provided the photos to us and so many! Sam was an excellent photographer - professional, friendly, calm - we would recommend him to anyone looking for fantastic photos! Thank you so much Sam”

We were nervous but Sam worked his magic and made us very calm and relaxed to allow him to get some very amazing and special photos of us! He captured us in our silly, goofy, happy and loving way! He also got some shots of us with our dog which are some of my fav photos! So happy with the pictures and looking forward to our wedding shots! His beautiful wife Natalie is capturing our wedding and we are super excited! Thanks again Sam you legend! ❤️ Luke, Hollea and Koa.”

Prue Herron
“Hi Sam and Nat,
I just want to say thank you for doing our Queenstown wedding, it was very hard trying to choose a photographer and being overseas made it even harder. We just knew we wanted someone relaxed and didn’t want to do all those typical posed photos. You guys were a really great part of the wedding day, everyone thought we knew you personally because you were both so lovely and friendly. You suited our style so well and I can’t thank you both enough, the sneak peeks we have seen so far have been incredible. I will highly recommend you both to anyone I know who needs photography work done.”
Jeanette Brooks
“We cannot thank Sam enough for capturing our wedding so amazingly. He is so relaxed, easy to work with and even willing to hike through the bush to get some incredible shots! Right from the beginning we felt 100% confident that Sam was the photographer for us and he exceeded all our expectations and his relaxed and kind nature made us feel like we’ve known him for years. If you’re looking for someone to shoot your wedding, or anything else, look no further!
Thank you so much Sam, we couldn’t be happier with our photos. You’ll be hearing from us when we fall pregnant sometime in the future for sure!”
