"It wouldn't be an

exaggeration to say

that Sam has

TRANSFORMED

my business."

Ali Horton

Hey, I'm Sam.

I remember the days of shooting ten weddings a month at £500 each, exhausted and wondering if this was sustainable, it wasn't!!

Now, I selectively photograph 2, maybe 3 weddings a month during the summer, commanding over £5000 per event, and I've never felt more creatively fulfilled. This didn't happen by accident. It took developing systems, refining my craft, and most importantly, learning to value my art and time.

  • Worked as a wedding photographer for 12 years

  • Weddings worldwide, from the UK to Spain, to France, Italy, even to Antigua.

  • Hosted 14+ workshops

  • Educated over 500 photography students

  • Multiple event speaker

The roadmap I created along the way is what I'm sharing with you, because I believe every passionate photographer deserves to build a business that brings both creative satisfaction and financial freedom, without sacrificing their personal life in the process.

"I started mentoring with Sam at the back end of Covid, a very strange time which coincided with me going full time into wedding photography. What held me back going full time prior to this? A fear of messing up, whether that be whilst shooting a wedding, or safely storing files, or the constant indecision with editing and questioning everything I did.

After completing Sam's course I truly felt like I was no longer second guessing everything, I felt like I had guidelines to work within whilst still harnessing the freedom of creativity and making my business what I wanted it to be.

Aside from all of that, Sam's just a really decent guy, extremely approachable. I think a fear in the photography industry is asking a stupid question, but Sam creates a safe space where no question's stupid.

I'd 110% recommend taking Sam's course, an investment that was well worth it!"

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Sam has TRANSFORMED my business.

I'd been in the industry for 14 years and found myself feeling stale, having virtually

no online presence, putting out dated content and having processes that made everything take that

much longer. Fast forward to the end of my sessions with Sam and I'm completely revitalised,

I have a completely new brand, a refined shooting style and edit, new processes

that make my business more time-efficient and already, a whole heap of new bookings.

I couldn't recommend Sam's mentorship more, honestly worth its weight in gold."
