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.

Wouldn’t have booked anyone else!
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!

Thanks Gwennan. It was a ball and thank you for your trust in me to get on with it (even when that involved me dancing) and enjoy the cold wet day with you. Thanks for the recommendations for previous weddings and no doubt you will do it again. Thank you for letting me be part of your wedding and I really felt I was a part as I knew so many people and met new ones too. Loads of love! Simon

Don't even think about choosing another photographer!!
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!
