Simon Gough Photography

Simon captured our wedding day in a way that exceeded any expectations. We have the most beautiful photographs of our guests, our venue, all the little details and of course us (nothing was missed!).

Simon even used the rain (which is normally a wedding day curse) in the most beautiful way in some of our photos, having us pose with umbrellas under the starlit sky - giving very “LaLa Land” vibes! This created “The” wedding photo that we could have only imagined.

We have had countless comments and compliments on our wedding photographs taken by Simon. On the day, Simon created a very relaxing and at ease atmosphere for us which was reassuring as we’re not particularly naturals when it comes to having our photos taken.

Simon takes advantage of the “in the moment” shots which gave us natural, honest and genuinely joyful snaps which allows us to relive special moments.

If we were to get married all over again, I wouldn’t hesitate to have Simon photograph it all.

Having been to two weddings of close family members where Simon was the photographer, I didn't even contact anyone else - I knew we were in safe hands from the start. From the initial email, Simon was incredibly accommodating and supportive of our non traditional winter wedding party and made it a blast from start to finish. Well up for a laugh, a dance and snapping away in a field in the beginning of a storm, one of our best memories of the weekend was running up and down steps with Simon whilst our nearest and dearest yelled, hollered and cheered with sparklers. We had such a fun and cannot wait to see the finished photos - the sneak peeks we've had so far have been incredible. Highly recommend, huge thank you from us both!

Cant say enough positives about Simon both from on the day and the quality of the photographs. From the minute we asked Simon to be our photographer, he could not have been more helpful or understanding of exactly what we wanted. In times when we didn't know what we wanted he made suggestions that absolutely made the day. The photographs are unbelievable and something we will cherish forever, so much so that we have even had hand drawn recreations by a local artist of some of our favourites we love them so much. We get so many compliments on the photographs especially the variance in style, they are absolutely awesome. On the day Simon likes to mix with the guests and make them feel comfortable which made his presence go unnoticed and everyone feels very relaxed - this captured incredible natural shots on the day that we couldn't have possibly recreated. Cant stress enough how much we laughed on the day as well taking our 'official' photos....it was so much fun! Above all else the value for money in the sheer quality of service and photographs compared with some photographers is phenomenal. Would highly recommend Simon to anyone!

We looked into Simon after multiple recommendations from several work colleagues, and instantly loved his style. We got to meet Simon for a coffee months before the wedding to introduce ourselves, bond and have a chin wag haha. Fast forward to the big day, Simon really put us at ease, made us laugh, captured beautiful moments we'll cherish forever and I wouldn't have known he was even there half the time, Simon was also really good with my little girl who was 2 at the time and of course center of attention. Our wedding was in November so instead of confetti we used sparklers, Simon managed to orangise us all and get some great shots (bravo!) and luckily nobody got burnt! It was abit drizzly on our wedding day but I absolutely adore the evening shots in the rain under the umbrella, people comment on them all the time! I couldn't recommend Simon enough if your looking for a laid back photographer that you and your guests can have a laugh with, who takes the most amazing photographs then this is the guy for you!

Simon is a legend. If you're wondering whether to book him - just do it! Honestly, you will not regret it.
His photography is simply stunning, he is an incredible guy and you'll have the most amazing 5 star experience with him.
Our wedding was on a cold and wet day in November 2019 and Simon braved all the elements with us! The weather certainly did not stop Simon from capturing beautiful photographs and his energy and personality shone through all day!
When we received our photographs we were blown away. We cried, we laughed and we relived the whole day over again. Simon puts everyone at ease, puts a smile on your face and captures moments of the day you may miss.
We truly believe we picked the perfect photographer and are still as just in love with our photos as the first time we saw them.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Simon!

Well what can I say from the moment we met Simon we knew that we would get on perfectly! He is an absolute Gem.
He made everyone feel at ease and everything felt so natural, hes fantastic with children and just fitted in throughout the whole day.
We didnt feel pressured into going off for photos ( we just wanted to be with our guests ) but still had the most beautiful natural photos.
We love our photos Simon, you have such a talent.
The presentation of our photo delivery was fantastic!
Thank you so much for making it easy for us!

Simon did a truly phenomenal job capturing our wedding! He is a fantastic person and a brilliant photographer! We have so many beautiful and vivid photos to choose from for our wedding album because he is wicked good at what he does! We felt immediately at ease with him within 5 minutes of our initial consultation and knew that our guests would love him too! He was so helpful with getting people together for photos and made the entire day stress-free and full of laughter! If you are looking for a photographer for a wedding – Book Simon!

We both wanted to say a HUGE ‘Thank you’ for our amazing pictures!!

I knew from when I saw Lauren’s pictures (Natalies cousin) that you would capture our day perfectly. We weren’t able to meet you until much nearer the wedding but following our phone call I knew that I wouldn’t want to drop out of the booking

On the morning and throughout the day you moved around and captured so many photos without being noticed. I have been to too many wedding with bossy photographers and I am glad to say you are not one. The general feel of our photos is us and our guests happy, fun and relaxed. So many people have commented on our pictures and noted that we were only away from our guests for half hour and in that time you captured the most beautiful photos of a not very poser-y couple. The guests felt at ease with you which shows.

We are about to go on our honeymoon but we will definitely be in touch to order an album that the photos deserve – Choosing 100 will be very difficult!!! Our only regret is that we didn’t get a selfie or photo of us with you

I love photos and can’t thank you enough for capturing the story of our day so accurately as that, along with our memories, is ultimately what we are left with of our day

Simon was our wedding photographer last year at the beginning of August. We met Simon at a friends wedding where we were impressed on how he managed to capture such brilliant moments. My wife and I have a background in theatre as Simon does as well and he made us feel totally at ease, asking us what we would like from him and running us through the day from start to finish. On the day, he was the perfect gentleman. Politely ushering myself, my wife and our family and friends throughout the day, standing back from the action so nobody felt like they were being pressured. What really stands out for me are two things. Firstly, he has an incredible eye for capturing not only the posed couples photos, but also moments that as the happy couple caught up in the whirlwind of the day, you can often miss. We had photos of everyone who was at the wedding, laughing, smiling, crying, sharing moments with family and friends. His shots really do speak for themselves. Secondly, he managed to create beautiful moments that fit my wife and I perfectly on our own couples shoot. Trust me when I say, if Simon has seen something he wants to capture and asks for another moment of your time for more photos, do it. I promise you wont regret it. He is charming, attentive and altogether a great bloke!

Simon was amazing! He has photographed many of our friends’ weddings so we knew he would be excellent but he was even better than we could have hoped for. He made us feel so relaxed and not at all awkward when we were doing our shots as a couple. My favourite thing about Simon’s photography is that he captures the life and energy of the day and no one even notices him running around and capturing their laughs and smiles. Simon is a great person to have around on your day and goes above and beyond to make sure you feel special!

We couldn’t have loved our day wth Simon anymore! Not only did he capture our wedding day perfectly and so naturally, but he was a genuinely lovely guy to have around. He felt like a friend we’d known for years and made us feel so at ease. Could not recommend a better guy to photograph your special day!

Myself and my husband had Simon capture our wedding day back in March! We had such a giggle with him and his laid back, natural way of capturing photos. He totally put us at ease and made the process easy and no stress!
All we can say is STUNNING, we were so in love with every photo! He bought a tear to our eyes looking through all the pure laughter, fun ,happiness, joy and most importantly love he captured on our special day. He is one of the most talented artists we have ever met! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Simon was our photographer when we got married the end of August. Simon was absolutely amazing on the day. His laid back personality put us both at ease and he had us laughing all day. Guests actually commented on how friendly and funny he was and how they thought he was one of the guests the way he fitted in. I hate having my photo taken and was really nervous waiting for them to arrive. I was so happy when going through them all. Simon has a real eye for what will make a good shot and they were all really natural and captured the relaxed feel of the day perfectly. I would highly recommend having Simon as your photographer. You won’t regret it

A Massive thank you for being the greatest photographer ever!!!!! You were a dream to have around on our day – so calm, fun and creative. We knew that we could trust you from the off and the photos have not disappointed!!! We have printed off lots and we have displayed them with pride around the home. Some of our personal favourites are on canvases printed HUGE! They look spectacular – particularly the ones at the barn with the lighting. We have had friends asking if you would travel to Essex – your talent is evident to everyone across the country. Thanks for travelling to Salisbury to – it meant a lot to us that you were there. We will treasure these photos forever Simon – we look so relaxed and happy and its a wonderful synopsis of the day

You captured our day exactly how I wanted to remember the day! Again thank you so much for everything, everyone has commented on how lovely you were and how relaxed you made them feel. You made me someone who had a hate of posed photos feel so comfortable and to top that off they look incredible.

Thank you so so much I will be recommending you to everyone I know
