  Exceptional

  Me and my now husband got married on the 26th March 24, a few days before the wedding Simon arranged a call with us asking is there was anything specific that we wants to get photographed through the time he was there which I thought was amazing, nice to have a plan in place. On the day he was punctual and was very kind and professional, he required no directing just got on with what we had agreed and made everything so easy, when it came to the ceremony and the after pictures he was amazing at getting candid pictures of everyone having a good time and got all the important parts as well as the more silly ones. When we went round the grounds he was happy to take suggestions of good shots and made everything so easy and fun!! Overall he was definitely the perfect photographer and was so nice, polite and professional!! Thank you so much Simon, your pictures really captured the fun we had on our wedding day!!

  Timeless photos

  We are absolutely thrilled with our pictures from our January elopement wedding at Cragwood House in the Lake District. We chose Simon as his photos look timeless and he offered an elopement package. He knows the venue extremely well and gave us some useful tips prior to the day. Within the 2-hour package we got a huge range of photos and we are especially pleased with the scenic pictures we had outside. We felt totally comfortable with Simon and he put us both at ease. We certainly recommend Simon for a Lake District Wedding!

  Lake District Wedding 12.12.23

  Wow!
  So pleased we choose Simon to capture our intimate wedding held at the Cragwood Country House Hotel, what a magical day.
  
  From the very beginning Simon was accommodating in every way. Simon listened carefully to our wishes and helped us in aspects of the big day that we were a little unsure about answering all of our questions quickly and professionally. His advice & guidance of course was spot on.
  
  Regular contact was made at the intervals that was set out in our initial consultation and Simon was happy to help on the questions that ultimately arise when the planning was firmly in motion and full steam ahead.
  
  Come the day, Simon immediately made us all feel at ease, friendly and caring he felt like part of the family fitting in perfectly and I'm not kidding!
  
  Simons attention to detail is second to none and went above and beyond to capture the perfect pictures in an unobtrusive style, which we have to say was not easy given the typical Lake District weather in December, quite honestly nothing was a problem and we took it all in our stride with smiles and laughter for the whole day. Which sums up the day perfectly, smiles and laughter!
  
  We chose to take an album from Simon, choosing 50 pictures, not an easy thing to do as all the pictures are fabulous. The style of this was a true likeness to how the day unfolded. Simon was able to send us a proof to check everything over, we made some amendments again not a problem at all and et voilà one wedding album produced & delivered seamlessly and best of all its beautiful.
  
  We chose to take the additional option of a videographer; Sam to make sure that we would never forgot the ceremony, at the beginning you may think nope I don't want or need that but trust me the day goes by so quickly there will be parts that you forget. It was fabulous to watch the video on return from our honeymoon, again we sat and smiled throughout watching our ceremony all over again like a couple of kids! If you take this option its hassle free and so we'll worth the little extra. Simon will coordinate and arrange everything with Sam.
  
  We whole heartily recommend Simon and Sam. Don't think about it, give him a call, you will not be disappointed.

  Wow Dawn, I'm blushing, thank you so much! You thought so carefully about every aspect of the day, so it's no surprise that it was fabulous and uniquely yours - I've never seen a first dance during the ceremony before! Sam and I had such a wonderful time working with you all, so it was a real privilege to capture your special day for you. Many, many thanks for the opportunity! ❤️

  Lovely, professional and patient

  Simon shot our wedding on a freezing cold day at the Lake District.
  
  Despite the below freezing temperatures, he was more than up for shooting our pictures on the lakes.
  
  He had the patience of a saint with my husband and I as we are terrible in front of a camera.
  Our pictures are phenomenal and really captured all the memories of our special day.
  
  Thank you Simon!

  Awe, thank you Ffion! It was such a lovely day and it was so much fun working with you both, plus I had a thick coat while you just had a thin jacket, so kudos to you! ♥️

  🤩 Fantastic, would highly recommend 🤩

  Simon was professional from start to finish. He had worked at our venue before so was able to offer great ideas for wedding shots. He arrived looking very smart in a suit. I don't like being photographed but he made me and my hubby feel at ease. He listened to what we wanted and was very approachable.
  
  Thank you Simon for capturing our special day so beautifully.

  Fantastic Photographer- we love our photos!

  We got married at New House Farm in Cumbria & Simon captured our day perfectly! We are delighted with our wedding photos & couldn’t recommend Simon enough. Simon is a brilliant photographer and was very helpful throughout the whole process, getting us all organised and even helped with our timings for the day! Thank you so much Simon!

  Excellent!

  Simon was brilliant from start to finish. He responded quickly, made us feel at ease and was really helpful to get the pictures that we wanted. We had some pre-wedding photos so that we could get used to being in front of the camera which was really useful. This helped us to see which poses we were comfortable with and which we weren’t. Simon took on board the feedback and encouraged us to try different things. On the day, I definitely wasn’t the easiest bride. I was really overwhelmed so he took some photos of us getting ready and then gave us some space and took photos of guests. After the ceremony, I just wanted to enjoy the day and didn’t really care about photos but Simon encouraged us to get the photos and I’m really pleased he did as these will forever be our memories. Simon captured some really special photos for us, and we would whole-heartedly recommend him.

  Thank you so much for this Jenna! It was a real pleasure to capture your wedding day for you and Rhys, so I'm really glad I was able to get the balance right between capturing memories and your experience on the day, both of which are equally important! ❤️

  10/10 Experience

  Simon is a true professional. He replied on the same day of our first enquiry email, which was very reassuring and promptly replied to every correspondence thereafter, through to the wedding day!
  
  He met us for a pre wedding shoot and even though the weather was rather wet and wild, the photos were a great example of how experienced Simon was and we were very happy with the photos. He accommodated all our ideas for photos we wanted on the wedding day and gave us some great advice about how he would organise it so everything would flow smoothly throughout the day.
  
  On the wedding day, Simon blended seamlessly into the surroundings and always put us at ease. He captured all the photos we were hoping to… and many many more! The photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we couldn’t thank Simon enough. We throughly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who offers great value and quality of service.
