Professional Food & Drink Photography | Product & Restaurant Photographer
Professional Food, Drink, Product & Restaurant Photography
Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of specializing in food photography, working with a wide range of clients, including food manufacturers, event organizers, private chefs, catering companies, restaurants, cafés, pubs, and the broader hospitality industry. My goal is to help businesses like yours make a lasting impression through exceptional imagery.
While smartphones are a convenient way to document daily operations and promotions, they often lack the ability to truly showcase the quality and artistry of your brand. Professional food photography elevates your food, drinks, and services to create a powerful visual impact.
By working with a professional photographer, like myself, you’ll ensure your imagery stands out in a competitive market. Consistent collaboration with the same photographer allows for a deep understanding of your brand, resulting in cohesive and impactful visuals tailored specifically to your business.

“Sam provided a photo shoot for my cafe, Forget Me Not Cafe in Moulton Community Centre and my catering business Choice Catering. The photos are outstanding and we have had loads of positive comments from our customers. Sam was professional throughout and we all had a really fun day creating our dishes for her to shoot. Would definitely use Welly Pictures again
Had Sam come and do a second shoot for us. Nothing was too much, there was a lot of waiting around for Sam and she was extremely accommodating and the final pictures are amazing - Thank you Sam”

Sam took some photos for us for our own range of Protein Flapjacks, having never asked for professional photography to be done before I was apprehensive to begin with. However Sam made the process, simple, straight forward and stress free. Extremely happy with the results and have since booked further shoots for other product ranges we manufacture. Massive improvement in our social media presence, Thank you Sam
