About

My photography is greatly inspired by the pages of magazines like Vogue & Elle because that is where I fell in love for the first time.  Through the love for these images, I also discovered a love for the fashion, style, and artistry that is used to create them and so my journey into design & photography started.

I am passionate about creating Fashion Styled Wedding & Portrait Photography for the everyday woman who wants to radiate confidence and show off her inner beauty.  I aim at making you feel natural and beautiful in front of the camera, with my bespoke service and friendly demeanor.

My style gives emphasis to the passion & love of your story; to not only capture real emotions on the day but to also make you feel like stars on the pages of a magazine by creating fashionable bridal portraits and cinematic couple photography.

Based in Cape Town I am surrounded by great locations to create my visions but I love traveling and discovering the other beauties of the world.

What They Say

“Samantha Clifton, our incredible talented photographer made sure that we would be remembering this most amazing day in our lifes until the end of time. Her passion for detail, glamour, art and fashion had our eyes wandering for more and more since our wedding day photos were revealed on her famous blog. Not only can she perform magical things through the eyes of her camera lenses, but she also has many other inspiring skills such as editorial writing and styling. Being a people's person made it real easy for us to maintain good communication with her before, during and after our wedding. It is so important to feel comfortable with your wedding photographer. Thank you Sam for creating miracles in capturing true emotions and creating beautiful high art fashion inspired portraits of ordinary, everyday people like us.”

“Every woman has their own unique essence and one should never get fixed on all the glamour that the industry portrays. You do not have to be a size 8 or 10 to feel beautiful and sexy. All the credit goes to Samantha Clifton, one of the greatest photographers and my personal friend. You have taught me a few life lessons and I am forever grateful.”

“Thank you ! My daughter is beaming with confidence after her shoot and I think every young women should do a shoot like this as they go through those teenage years and their own self discovery. She had so much fun on set and felt 100% comfortable with you behind the lens.”
