Editorial.Effortless.Vivacious. Timeless Sophistication, Unique, Deeply Emotive.My goal is to produce visually stunning narratives that are editorially inspired and cinematically unforgettable.

Two people in Love. Stylish & Sophisticated, fun-loving and well-read couples who are in love with my work. Couples who can resonate with my portfolio aesthetic and connect it with their own vision of their big day. By trusting me to use my knowledge and skill to create keepsakes of their special day they can relax to focus on the real moments of the day.

My couples usually want to create the ultimate wedding experiences, every small detail is thought of and has meaning to them. They aren’t over the top extravagant but they understand the need for quality service providers who will bring their vision of their wedding day to life.

For me it is all about attention to detail and treating every wedding as the unique celebration it is for the couple. I want to know my clients as much as possible before the big day so I ask alot of questions and focus on developing a relationship with them. The more information I have the better I can capture the events of the day.

Beautiful locations make me giddy and I would love to travel anywhere in the world to capture your wedding.

All images are curated and edited to achieve that clean, sharp and vibrant editorial style you see in my portfolio. Your images will be a combination of colour and black and white personally edited by myself to achieve this style.

Due to the Editorial style of my work, I do not want to rush
your images so post-production on images is 6 weeks. You will then receive a link to your full gallery of High-Resolution Images.

An express service is available for photo and video post-processing. For photos, the fee is 20% of your chosen collection fee. Your full online gallery will then be completed in 2 weeks.

Post-production of the Wedding Highlight Video takes
between 1-2 Months and the postproduction of the wedding
feature film, ceremony and speeches takes between 2 –4
months.

With regards to album design, I will send you an initial album
layout within 1 week after your Online Gallery has been published for your approval and /or changes.

Album design approval for couples can take some time as life gets busy. I will send you reminders and follow up on your questions as soon as possible to simplify this process. Once the final design has been approved and submitted for
print it takes 4-6 weeks for your album to be completed. You
will be notified about delivery as soon as it is ready. Your USB will be couriered to you with your album once printing is completed.

Capturing documentary moments from an editorial perspective. I balance effortlessly between giving clients direction and knowing when it is time to just let proceedings unfold naturally. I also love paying attention to the smallest details to tell the full visual story.

10-15 per year. I typically do a lot of commercial, lifestyle and editorial work in addition to weddings. I find varying the type of work I do and limiting the number of weddings I shoot; keeps my wedding aesthetic fresh and unique and helps me to provide a more rewarding experience for my clients.

I’m based in Cape Town, South Africa one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Please contact me at sam@samanthaclifton.com and I’ll be happy to assist you further.

A 50 % Non-Refundable Booking Fee is required to secure any shoot date in my schedule.

I provide clients with High-Resolution Edits via an Online Gallery for ease of download and accessibility. These images are 300 DPI and good of High Print Quality.

Please note I do not provide clients with RAW images. These are unprocessed and straight out of camera and will not be a reflection of my style and artistry as the finishing touches are done in post production.

I design an initial layout based on my style to create the most beautiful visual narrative of your day.

You are welcome to make any changes to this design if you aren’t happy but please keep in mind that my experience in styling, layout and design can help simplify this process for you. You will have 3 overall design changes before a new design fee is charged.

Please also note that only my images are included in these albums.
