AWAY IN THE USA

I am currently in the USA until the 20th March. The best way to get in contact with me is via email. I dont suggest the phone because I have it off most of the time due to the time difference and costs involved. I am doing my best to respond to emails as soon as I can, but will take longer then normal to respond because I do not have regular access to email.

Barbara and Dave

In December I went over to Queenstown, New Zealand to photograph Barbara and Dave’s wedding. We did a portrait session two days before the wedding. I knew I wanted to photograph in some big open space, so we drove around aimlessly until we found what I was looking for..it was perfect.

Rose - I just can’t wait for you to capture the moments of our wedding (and portrait sessions too!) next year, Samm!! Looking forward to it… :)

Louise - Samm, this is why I love your pictures. It is just amazing.

USA

highway 1 – somewhere near big sur. california. february 2009.

In a few days im heading to the USA. Im visting San Fransisco – Vegas – Seattle – Portland – San Fransisco. I am so excited to catch up with heaps of friends, go off an explore and work on some personal photography projects for a few weeks. Do you have any suggestions for anything I should go, see or do? Any cool little cafes or shops I should visit? would love some ideas :) Ive been to San Fransisco and Vegas before, so some ideas to get off the beaten tourist path would be cool ;)

Tim - I’ve never been there, but I hear there’s a great old sign graveyard with vintage signs in Las Vegas. I bet any hotel concierge would know about it.

Randy - Really? You’re coming to Portland, Oregon? Well, you won’t be seeing any colored walls, that’s for sure. If you do, they are usually red. Don’t ask. There is lots and lots of GREAT food and craft beers here.

Definitely hit Powell’s Book Store. Portland is famous for all the bridges. Where will you be staying? How long is your trip? Blah, blah, blah…

James Moes - I can give you a tour of Seattle. And it still would be great to meet up with you in Vegas.

Caroline Ghetes - In Vegas, are you going to WPPI? Also, if you decide to visit the East Coast ever, Charleston, SC is a hidden gem. You’d love it there. Whole other world over there.

Elissa - Portland – jealous. Of course you will be going to Powell’s Books but I also recommend the Hawthorne area.

amy t schubert - sad. If only you were coming to L.A. I could totally hook you up.
:)
have fun!

I ❤ moore and moore

and Emma and Ian’s good taste.

I want this wedding to be my wedding. It makes my heart melt. Moore & Moore is a little cafe just round the corner from my office in Fremantle, situated in the Moore’s Building on Henry Street. I love spending time there and visiting the exhibitions they have in the Moore’s Art Gallery. A few years back, I had an exhibition in there part of the Foto Freo Fringe (FotoFreo is on again next month – if you are interested in photography come to Fremantle to check out all the amazing photography on exhibition from international and local photographers).  Once I heard Moore & Moore were doing wedding functions, ive been so eager to shoot a wedding there and when Emma and Ian told me about the plans for their wedding day, I was very excited. I think there is one thing I would love as much as being a photographer and that would be a wedding stylist ;) dear universe, can we please make this happen?
