    Perfect reflection of our wedding day

    Simon is incredible! From our first meeting we knew that Simon is the photographer for us. His professionalism, sense of humour, timely and continuous communication really stood out. After 2 meetings with Simon, we had no doubt that our wedding photographs will be great but they exceeded our expectations.

    Firstly, bridal prep! We don't know how Simon managed to take such wonderful photos in the crammed and crowded hotel room. But despite having 10 (!) people in the room at some point Simon captured all the key moments including laughs, hugs and all the "wows" as Anastasia was getting into the bridal dress.

    Secondly, everything else! Wedding ceremony, drinks reception, speeches, games, party, cake cutting - all photographs were truly magical. Simon captured so many fantastic moments, some of which we did not even see. From the serene atmosphere of the church ceremony to the smiles and laughs during the speeches - you can feel the love when looking back at these photographs. Simon was extremely friendly and personable with all the guests while staying really professional and almost invisible! It is such a skill!

    Posed pictures were an unexpected highlight for us. Although we don't usually like to have our photos taken, Simon orchestrated a chilled photoshoot full of laughter. It felt very easy and natural and photographs truly reflect it. It only took 20 minutes or so but somehow we now have dozens of truly stunning photographs. It will be very difficult to decide which ones we want to print and hang on the wall!

    The cherry on the cake - all photographs (more than 800, to be precise!) arrived less than 3 weeks after the wedding. How incredible is that!

    We loved working with Simon and looking forward to keep reliving our wedding day through Simon's photographs.

    Thank you again Simon!

    Highly recommended!

    Simon photographed our wedding a few weeks ago and we couldn't be happier with him and with the photos he has created from our day. Simon has been a wonderful supplier to deal with from the very start, meeting us for coffee and responding to our many questions over email. On the day, he managed to be both incredibly professional and wonderfully fun, fitting right in with the guests and putting everyone, including us, at ease. We have just had the photographs from our wedding back and they have exceeded all our expectations! He has expertly captured the fun and happiness from our day, whilst also getting so many of the more elegant shots that we wanted. Looking at the photos has been like reliving the day and our friends and family are absolutely delighted. The photos were received very quickly, but a lot of work has clearly gone into them and we are so grateful to Simon for capturing our day so well. Such a reasonable price for an exceptional service and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the area!

    Fab photographer!

    Simon was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. From the start, he really took the time to listen to our ideas and understand exactly what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble for him—he went above and beyond to make sure every moment was captured perfectly. His communication was excellent.

    Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how friendly and professional he was, putting everyone at ease. He brought a lot of fun to the day!

    And the photos? Simply stunning. We appreciated how quick Simon got the copies back to us.

    Simon truly captured the magic of our day, and we’ll treasure his work forever.

    Thanks again Simon! Katie & Greg.

    Fantastic on the day and such beautiful photos!

    I would recommend Simon 100 times over! On the day he was absolutely fantastic, he kept an eye on the weather and managed to get so many beautiful outdoor shots in between the rain. He captured really natural, happy photos of our guests. Simon has an eye for identifying who the key people are to the couple and snapping some beautiful and memorable photos of them. Simon is fun and friendly and works so hard. We love our wedding photos and really enjoyed having Simon at our special day. Thank you!

    Fantastic photographer

    Simon photographed our Wedding Day in June. He made us feel at ease from the beginning. He captured the immense sense of happiness felt by us and all of our guests. Looking through the hundreds of amazing photos was like re-living the day all over again. The photos really tell the story of our day so well and we are so grateful for that. To anyone thinking of booking Simon for their special event, you will not be disappointed.

    Such a wonderful photographer and a lovely guy!!

    Simon photographed our wedding back in February. He was an amazing, calm, friendly presence from the minute we first met him, all the way through to the end of our wedding day! Simon was lovely with all of our guests and his pictures captured the happiness of our day perfectly! Would 100% recommend him!

    Thank you so much, Simon, for capturing our day perfectly! Simon was incredible from start to finish and we were so pleased with our photographs, which came back to us less than 2 weeks after the wedding, with a full gallery available to view and share with family and friends. We have so many amazing memories captured and honestly it just filled us with such happiness looking back at the photos! Simon was so down to earth, genuinely made us feel at ease and the quality was amazing.

    Wonderful photographs capturing a fantastic day

    I can't recommend Simon highly enough. He's not only a fantastic photographer but also a lovely guy!
    He was great on our wedding day and directing guests and me and my husband but also easy going and made it all feel very easy.
    We are also so happy with the photos we got back. They are just what we were after in that they're not too formal but at the same time capture all the right moments.
    Thank you Simon!
