    Sam did a wonderful job on our wedding! He made himself available for the entire day and all our friends and family really enjoyed having around. He even helped with a bit of cleaning at the end of the night. The pictures were affordable and beautifully candid, which we were looking for. He really captured special moments and we couldn`t be happier with the services.

    Our experience with Kidoak Media was something special that we will cherish forever. We invited Sam to take part in capturing the moments before, during and after the birth of our first child, and I am SO happy he said yes, and decided to take this project under his wing. From the first moment we met him, we knew he would capture the special moments in ways that we could not explain.

    He made us both (my boyfriend and I) feel so comfortable making every time spent with him and the camera, such a pleasure. Over the course of 3 individual shoots, it felt more of a casual hangout filled with conversation and laughs. His interest in learning about the lives of those he captures in photos is what makes his images so special. The moments reflected in the photos are exactly how you feel, but would not be able to express in words.

    Sam said yes to a pre-baby maternity shoot, the delivery, and post-baby photos. He produced the most perfect birth story with some amazing photography. He performed above and beyond what I hoped for in a birth story, and I am so lucky we found him.

    We are grateful he was able to accommodate his schedule around the birth, with the unpredictability of going into labour. We were in constant communication with him, and he was also quick to respond, which ensured us that he would make it to our special day when the time finally arrived. He was available the night I went into labour to capture some stunning images at our house, and the next day, when we finally knew baby was on his way, he was with us at the hospital almost immediately after getting the phone call.

    The patience, energy, persistence, bravery and composure (I mean, it was his first live birth) he brought along with him in the delivery room was INCREDIBLE. He kept behind the scenes even during some of the most insane moments where the entire room was in a frenzy. During a time where we were busy welcoming our new son to the world, Sam managed to capture every special moment with his photos. We recommend Kidoak Media without a doubt to anyone looking to capture the incredible life moments that you want to look back on. Thank you Sam for your amazing work, we are SO lucky to have met you!

    Kat, Danny and baby Hastings :)

    Sam did an incredible job on a photo shoot for me. Not only was he extremely flexible around my busy schedule, the photos he took were perfect. Sam blew me away by how he focused on the moment, not so much the posed look, which was exactly what I was looking for. He really listened to what I needed and it all came together so naturally. I would use Sam again for any type of photography.

    My husband and I could not be more please about how Sam captured our wedding day. We didn't want too many posed shots, just for him to capture the warmth and energy of the event - And that he did and more! He stays in the action, but not in your face, and delivered our high quality images extremely quickly. He's friendly and professional, and I would highly recommend Sam for your any of your upcoming events.

    When we stumbled on to Kidoak website, we were dazed by Sam's photos. What made Sam's work stand out, was the genuine emotions of each photo and how it made you feel like you were part of joyful celebration. At that moment we knew we wanted Sam to be our engagement and wedding photographer.
    Sam is a truly brilliant, caring, patient, passionate, and above all creative and profound person. The moment we met Sam, his smile, openness, warmth, friendliness put us at ease. From that moment we knew that the Universe guided us to the right person. It felt just right. We would not be happier with our selection of a photographer. We would recommend Sam in a heart beat, and we are his loyal and grateful clients.
    Kidoak equals masterstroke (clever choice)!

    Sam Steele is a truly talented photographer. He was so flexible, professional, and great with adults and kids alike. He was able to capture lots of different types of shots and really draw out our personalities in the photos. Super happy with outcome!

    I was so fortunate to have kidoak Media help photograph a high profile event that I planned and couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out! Sam was not only professional but so welcoming and so much fun to work with. The attention to detail, passion and creativity was present right from our initial meeting. He spent time getting to know the event and the types of photos and moments that we wanted to capture and did just that. He made guests feel very comfortable and was able to capture both candid moments and posed shots. I highly recommend kidoak Media to help you create lasting memories.

    Sam was awesome. He was great at capturing beautiful candid and family photos. Great at communicating, easy going and quick at getting the shots. Very reasonably priced and a pleasure to have him as our photographer.

    I've been working with Kidoak Media for more than a year. Not only is Sam Steele easy to work with, but he is an outstanding photographer with a beautiful eye for detail. He has a modern clean aesthetic and is often able to tell an interesting story with a single image. He is also a terrific videographer and knows when and how to move the camera and how to stay invisible when needed. He has done numerous assignments for me and every result is top notch.

    Kidoak has been hired by our restaurant on multiple occasions for various events including golf tournaments, New Year's Eve, Halloween etc. They have always provided us with amazing images, with quick turn around. Would highly recommend.
