Here’s a collection of images from weddings I’ve shot over the past few years. I love that each and every wedding I attend is completely different to the rest; each one a reflection of the couple.
The light, location, the people, the moments, the speeches, the laughs, the tearful moments, each and every one is unique to that day. Moments like this can’t be staged or re-created, they just happen, and I love that I get to capture those moments. I completely immerse myself within the day, becoming more of a wedding guest than “the wedding photographer”. If you want to check my latest work, follow me on Instagram!

that’s not enough, you want more?!
I’d previously trained as a creative product designer and always had a huge passion for the world of art and design, I still do, I was just never very good at drawing!! It wasn’t until I bought a 35mm Canon AE-1 in 2009, that I truly realised photography was my medium, I haven’t looked back since. I’ve now been shooting weddings full time for 8+ years, and have had the pleasure of documenting 300+ all over the UK, Europe, and worldwide!
I photograph weddings nationwide and internationally, based slap bang in the middle of the UK, in a little place called Derby, I’ve shot weddings in Suffolk, Cornwall, France and Italy, Wales, Sicily, Corsica, Spain, Antigua and The Philippines, to name a few. If you’re interested in working with me/hiring me, please feel free to get in touch, follow me on Insta, Facebook, or email me at photography@samdocker.co.uk
“Some really nice quote about Sam and how wasn’t a total knob, he took a few decent pictures, a lot were blurry and out of focus, but we think that’s the style of his work, so it is what it is. He also took a shower before coming to the wedding, so that’s great!”
– Charlotte and Simon, 2019
Thanks for taking the time to find out a little more about me, hopefully you’re not put off!!
If you want to see more about how I work on the day, please go and take a look at my approach page, I talk about my style of photography, and how I see my work unfolding during the day. And for a better idea of the kind of work I produce, the portfolio is always a good place to go!!
Some random title about
That’s great, I’ll get it moved across for you. Before I fully confirm it, I am asking couples postponing to 2021 if they are able to pay 50% of their remaining balance in the month of their original wedding date. I fully appreciate these are difficult times for us all, but by postponing a year I’m losing work this year and using my quota of weddings for next year. Splitting existing client balances is the best solution for my business to manage cashflow and ensure I can still trade going into 2021.
