Jeff Sham Photo - About Me

Thanks for checking me out! I'm super excited you're here!

Hey, I'm Jeff! I'm a super friendly, and a fun and natural professional wedding photographer who just loves to capture romantic memories.

I live in Leamington Spa with my wife Sarah, little boy Wilson, and spoilt cat Melo.

Despite graduating with a Mathematics degree, and spending a good chunk of time in software engineering, I went with my passion and started my photography business in 2011 and have since photographed 250+ weddings - and I've never looked back.

I absolutely love spicy food - there has to be chilli oil on everything! I also love a good coffee. Just not at the same time...

Fun Fact #1

I'm not a fan of the gym, but I do love to keep fit, playing badminton and tennis regularly. I compete in local and county leagues.

Fun Fact #2

I am a British Born Chinese (BBC) - my family are from Hong Kong; so I am fluent in English, but sadly less so in Cantonese.

Fun Fact #3

I'm fascinated with the Japanese culture. I like a sip of cold sake, and I'm learning Japanese. We're talking of a family holiday over there one day.

Fun Fact #4

Crisps and sweets are my Kryptonite - "family sharing"-sized bags of snacks do not apply to me!

Fun Fact #5

I hold a full motorcycle license - I learnt to ride despite not even being able to ride a bicycle (I never had a bike when I was a kid).

Fun Fact #6

With my family and friends - the important people in my life
