Every month, we feature one of our partnered suppliers and we are lucky to know so many! It's our chance to bring a varied glimpse into other areas of the wedding industry, outside of the wedding stationery world. This month, we were delighted to meet Samantha Jones, a very experienced and talented wedding photographer. All photographs featured in this post have been taken by Samantha - and I'm sure you agree, they are stunning.
How long have you been a photographer and what attracted you to the industry?
How long have you been a photographer and what attracted you to the industry?
I have been a full-time lifestyle and wedding photographer since March 2009 but enjoyed photographing weddings and family events prior to that for many years. As a female photographer, I have much more access to brides especially during bridal preparations which allows me to get to know everyone a little better before the actual wedding ceremony itself.
What services / packages do you offer to couples tying the knot? I currently have two packages available which can be found online at http://www.samanthajonesphotography.co.uk/ (see our prices section).
What geographical locations do you cover? I am based in Faversham, Kent so mainly cover the South East. I am willing to travel elsewhere though. Destination weddings are a photographers dream but I have only been as far as Essex though!
What's the most exciting 2009 wedding you have worked on and why? My most exciting wedding was this summer and my couple found me online. They were really pleased to have found a female photographer in the Kent area and their venue was absolutely gorgeous! We met beforehand to take some engagement shots and also to get some ideas for the day. Unfortunately on the day of their wedding, it rained non stop but nonetheless we managed to get some fun shots despite the downpours. We then met up a few months later to do a 'Mr and Mrs' session on a beautiful and bright day which gave them some wonderful images and better still the bride got to wear her dress again.
Explain a difficult situation that 'happened on the day' and managed to sort out.
At my most recent wedding, we had a few moments to take some portraits of the bride and groom on their own which is often the only time during which the newly married couple can spend some alone time together. We went down to some beautiful willow trees by the river as a background, with fantastic autumnal light...and the bride promptly stepped in a deposit left by a goose! Before we realised it, the groom had picked up the dress and the mess transferred to him too. Thank goodness I had some tissues (handy for emotional brides) and wet wipes available, so we managed to avoid a total disaster. The bride was very calm about it, hitched her dress over her arm and said "Oh well, I'll be sitting down at the meal for the next couple of hours so no-one will see it anyway". I was so pleased that they both took it in good humour and laughed it off.
