my name is Sam
Hey! I'm Sam, the face behind Alpha Visuals!
I'm currently work full time in the video scene and I love it - and don't think I'll ever stop loving it. Meeting you all and being a part of your wedding is a genuine privilege, thank you for trusting me with your big day!
​
Read on to hear about what I get up to!
my life
My life currently is pretty packed! I run Alpha Visuals, doing lots of weddings and growing my commercial video work also! To keep me afloat all year through, I work part time for Legato Creative! Legato is a video production company specialising in Real Estate photo & video! It's definitely not quite as luxurious as filming weddings, but it's consistent!
​
This year I've started part time study into the Diploma of Ambulance Practise! I've been doing ambulance shifts as a First Responder for about 2 years now, and am taking the next step into turning it into a career! That's right - I'll be switching across to shift work for St John ambulance at some point, but I'll always do video on the side!
​
When I'm not filming or working on an ambulance, you might spot me at a fire! I've been in my local fire brigade for almost 4 years now! I love it - we attend a wide range of calls like, scrub fires, structure fires, car crashes, medicals, rescue calls, and we've even had the classic "cat stuck in a tree" firefighter job!
​
I think I really enjoy the problem solving skills involved in both Fire and Ambo as well as the adrenaline of the sometimes life-or-death situations we get thrown into! So really, I hope I don't see you out there, because it likely means you're not having a great day!
