unscripted moments, Timeless memories

My Philosophy

“The most important thing I will ask you to do on your wedding day is forget I’m there.”

I believe the most meaningful moments happen in the in-between the glance, the laughter, the touch that lasts only two seconds but says everything. My approach is candid and documentary, blending into the background to capture your day as it naturally unfolds. No forced poses, no interruptions just the raw, unscripted moments that tell your story exactly as it is.

"Sam’s photos are utterly beautiful, she has captured family shots, beach moments and precious newborn stages for us.

They are always so stunning and something to treasure. We have three energetic children and sam has no qualms in chasing them as they play. No pressure and always lots of fun. I recommend sam whole heartedly."

Absolutely amazing! Sam is such a professional and so calm and relaxed it makes shooting with kids so much easier, I have modelled for over 15years and by far my photos with Sam are my favourite 🙏🏼

"Sam has been there to capture all the big moments in our lives. Even before the shoot, she gave us advice and ideas to make the most out of each and every shoot. On shoot, she is fantastic and has made us, and our children, feel relaxed and at ease (which on our wedding day was no easy feat with my nerves!). She has a wonderful eye and manages to make situations, especially where the children aren't quite cooperating, into amazing photographs. I could not imagine a major life event without her there!"

Sam at Lily’s Lens Photography photographed our Wedding day in the Summer of 2022.

We were so happy with our photos, they were all absolutely beautiful.

Sam was also very professional on the day giving us space when needed and making our guests feel comfortable.

She’s a naturally gifted photographer and we would 100% recommend her to anyone.

I have nothing but amazing things to say as Sam is the most talented photographer I’ve ever met.

Her keen eye for a shot, the use of natural light and actually achieving the most breathtaking shots.

We’ve been lucky enough to have Sam do all our milestone shoots with our two children and some family shoots at the beach and local wooded areas. I always walk away thinking - the kids weren’t smiling, they definitely wasn’t looking at the same time and every time Sam blows me away!

Every time we’ve ended up ordering every photo she’s taken. We’ve loved the style of photo produced.

Sam delivers naturally beautiful shots. Not over orchestrated or put on, she looks for those relaxed and beautiful moments and captures them perfectly.

I’ve used Lily Lens many times over the last 8 years for newborn and family photos and always recommend her to friends who are equally pleased. Sam has always been so patient and calm when trying to get the perfect photo with children. We have so many treasured photos thanks to her. She has a great eye for natural shots.

I have been investing in photos with Sam for the last 6 years, and each and every time I am amazed by her artistry, professionalism, friendliness and the way she captures the attention of the children.

I cannot recommend her enough for all occasions; having had her capture some of the most important events in the last 6 years but also such lovely, candid moments as a family.

We have used Sam for the last 5 years! We started with a Christmas mini shoot & then feel in love Sam’s style of pictures!

We have since done Autumn & beach shoots!

Out pictures have included our pregnancy announcement & then beautiful new born pictures of our little boy! And loved every single picture!

Highly recommend Lily's lens.

Sam is truly amazing! I wouldn’t trust anyone else to get the pictures she manages to capture. There have been times when I have thought the kids haven’t played ball we won’t have any decent shots but every time without fail Sam has managed to get lots of amazing ones - I do not know how she does it. She is patient and kind and has the best creative mind for the images she and us want to capture. Highly recommend her to anyone whether that be for children, families or weddings - she does them all perfect 🩷
