Hi, I’m Samantha, the tiny blonde behind the lens at
MadHouse Weddings.
Typically known for my black heart, there are three things that make me all mooshy and sob, an epic wedding, a newborn smell and my boyfriend telling me I can't buy more shoes.
I'm a sucker for romance and chivalry; I love nothing more than being given the opportunity to document real love.
I am your mate, your story teller and your mini wedding planner. I limit myself to 25 weddings a year to allow you to get the most personalised experience, but also so you're not getting a tired old photographer.
My job is not to tell you where to stand and how to pose (I do a little bit and I sometimes request you meow in your partner's ear) but simply to document the day you say I do.
My entire being is invested in your wedding from the time we meet. I actually love my job and your experience is incredibly important to me. I want you to look back through your photographs and relive your special day over and over again; reminded of incredible memories shared with the ones you love.
From fleeting elopements in the wilds of Scotland, to stunningly decorated hundred year old castles, I am there for it all.

FAQ
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
I'm based in South Ayrshire, Scotland but hold both a British and Australian passport... so really I'm free to be where ever you need me to be.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
Yep... Govan, Glen Coe, Edinburgh, London, Dubai, Melbourne... I TRAVEL!
DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
I do and they are often a great way to get to know you guys before your big day. They can also be really helpful in putting camera shy humans at ease.
WHAT HAPPENS ON OUR BIG DAY?
On your wedding day I can be with you for just a few hours or a full day with two photographers from bridal and groomsmen preparation through to your evening party. I like to capture every aspect of your day while I am with you including all the chaos of getting ready, guests arriving, the ceremony, bride and groom portraits, photos with family and friends, candid shots with guests, the wedding breakfast, the evening party and all the little details
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER?
Yes I do and they are fecking God's gift to the planet. A second photographer is included in the price of some of my packages, though can be added to any package.
CAN I PURCHASE ALBUMS & PRINTS?
Of course you can. I have a lush wee al la carte price list you're welcome to browse through.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK YOU?
Once you have secured your date and venue, I would highly recommend your next step to be your photographer. While weddings do run year round, April to October is heavy season. If your wedding falls within those months, absolutely get your shuffle on.
HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS DO WE GET?
Dependant on your selected package, you will receive between 300 and 500+ images.
HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
Images are received via a password protected online gallery. You are then able to download your images and also share the gallery world wide with friends and family.
I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A PHOTOGRAPH, CAN WE TRY IT?
OMG yes! I am all for couples having fun ideas. I always recommend you jump on websites such a pinterest for a bit of inspiration.
DO YOU BACK UP OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
YES YES YES YES YES YES... not only do my cameras have dual SD slots (meaning every image is replicated twice on two memory cards), but your images are also backed up throughout the wedding day; then additionally stored to external hard drives and the cloud once I return home.
