About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: March 2025

Hi, I’m Simon K. Lewis, a documentary photographer based in Hampshire and London, covering all of the UK and destination weddings across Europe. I know how important your wedding imagery is to you, and I’m grateful to you for considering me. Simon K. Lewis Photography has been established since 2021; and was a Winner in the Hitched Wedding Awards in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

As your photographer, I aim to bring a skilled and sensitive eye for those connections between those in love, and their friends and families. My approach is documentary in nature, weaving relaxed imagery with a contemporary, stylish feel. My work is characterised by an unposed, natural authenticity with a touch of editorial flair in key moments, achieved discretely without interrupting the flow and energy of the day.

With every wedding I'm privileged to be involved in, I set out to capture not just how the day unfolded, but how it felt, exactly as his couples remember it; to tell the story of the bonds between them and all of their friends and family that they chose to share their day with.

I’m hoping that you’ve come to my profile here on Hitched because you’re looking for someone whom can create imagery for you that is above everything else, authentic. That’s the kind of wedding day that you’re wishing for; so why wouldn’t you want your imagery of the day to look and feel the same?

If those things sound important to you, I’d love to hear from you.

You'd be very welcome to check out my website at simonklewis.com, and if you'd like to catch up on a video call sometime to discuss your wedding plans and wishes for your photography, just let me know.

We can't recommend Simon highly enough!

From the outset when we sent our first enquiry email Simon was chatty, friendly and open with us. He was quick to respond to us and had a great approach to meeting us over Zoom so we could get to know each other and what we wanted. Having shared some images from his portfolio with us, it was also clear from the beginning that Simon is a very talented photographer.

Simon did both an engagement shoot as well as our wedding photos and we are so glad to have experienced and got wonderful photos from both. The engagement shoot was really valuable for us to meet in person, get to know each other more and also get used to being in front of the camera (which Simon’s relaxed approach eased). We were so thrilled with the photos from the engagement shoot; Simon captured lovely moments presenting genuine and natural emotion and feeling without engineering them. He also took his lead from us, so that we felt totally comfortable (which also comes through in the photos).

On the lead up to our wedding day Simon was communicative, supportive and made things as easy as possible for us. On the day itself, Simon again showed kindness and support. He was respectful about photography within the church, which was very small and somewhat challenging to move around, but Simon chatted with the vicar beforehand and they made a plan that worked for everyone. Over the whole day, he was subtle in his approach enabling him to capture real conversations and small, but meaningful elements. Everyone said how friendly Simon was, but equally commented about how he moved around quietly and unobtrusively, keeping everyone comfortable. Simon was flexible when our portrait session didn’t go to plan and when timings went awry.

Our wedding photos are beautiful and what we wanted them to be. They have allowed us to relive our day and to see parts of it that we didn’t see first hand. Again, Simon captured photos radiant with personality and created images that manage to visualise pure and honest connections between people. We have never had photos that so truly represent genuine feelings before, but Simon’s do exactly this, which is why our photos are so wonderful. We are so happy that Simon was a part of our wedding and can’t recommend him highly enough!

Highly recommend

We worked with Simon for our civil ceremony, and he went above and beyond our expectations. Despite the unfortunate weather and the limited space for indoor portraits, he handled everything with calm professionalism and managed to capture all the special moments beautifully. From the smiles and tears to the quiet, emotional exchanges, he didn’t miss a beat.

Simon was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly professional, well-organised, and came fully prepared with backups for any unforeseen circumstances.

We’re so grateful to have had him document our special day. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Absolutely amazing wedding photographer!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the very beginning, Simon made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. His friendly and professional approach put us at ease, and it truly shows in every single photo. The pictures turned out absolutely stunning—beautifully captured moments that we will cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who can bring out the best in you and deliver incredible results, we highly recommend him! Thank you for making our special day even more magical!

Wonderful service

Simon was so fantastic, the perfect choice for our special day. From the first meeting with him, Simon was great at communicating and no request was too much.
On the actual day, Simon was great-he blended in so well whilst also organising all of our family into the pictures we wanted!
The pictures that we got back were perfect; they’ve captured the essence of our day so beautifully and I barely go a day without looking at them!

Absolutely perfect

From our initial chat with Simon we knew he was the photographer for us. He really makes sure that all the stress of getting the perfect photographs is taken away from you. He made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera and brought out our personalities so well.

Not only are our photographs gorgeous and high quality, but Simon himself was amazing and guided us through our day with ease. Through the planning phase and to the day itself, Simon felt like the person who gave us the most support in the process of planning our special day. And we would recommend him to everyone!

5* could not recommend more!

We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos from Simon. He captured the whole day in an incredible, authentic way and we loved reliving it all when we received them (they brought tears and laughter!). He is such a warm, friendly & personable guy who we spoke to for 2 hours on our initial call, we could have carried on! Simon was such a delight to have around on the day and we would highly recommend him to anyone

5* experience with Simon

Simon's documentary-style photos stood out to us straight away, and we cannot be more thrilled with our choice. He's created a gallery of photos for us that has had us reliving our wedding day from beginning to end, bringing up the same emotions as if we were living the day again. His art captured the essence of all of the key moments of the day, but also the lesser noticed moments in between. We honestly couldn't have wished for a better experience.

Outside of the wedding day and photos themselves, Simon came across very knowledgable and approachable from the very beginning of our interactions. I feel that the way he approached conversations with us were so reflective of his style of photography; informal, familiar, but also so passionate in capturing those key moments of our special day. In our first call, he talked us through his multiple backup lenses, camera bodies, etc which provided a great level of reassurance.

I would one million percent recommend Simon if you're considering a documentary style photographer for your wedding. You'll absolutely not be disappointed!

Simon was absolutely brilliant - we are so happy we found his work!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Simon was very thorough with briefing us beforehand, being calm, fun and professional through the day resulting in a stunning collection of photos that capture the energy, love and special moments! He was also adaptable given we had some interesting weather to navigate, always ensuring the best possible images were captured! Thank you Simon for being part of our special day. Highly recommend!

Amazing wedding photography - book Simon!

Simon is an amazing photographer to work with. He made an effort from the very first call to get to know us as a couple, as well as explaining his style and how he likes to work. A month before the big day he was in touch asking us to let him know the group shot list and we went through our plans for the day. On the day he brought great energy, and his second photographer Emily was so bubbly she really brought more joy to the room. Simon is kind and very dedicated to doing the best possible job he can. We received our photos last week and we were blown away. He's caught not just the big moments but the small moments that made the day, as well as moments we hadn't even seen or known about. The photos are edited beautifully, with a nice mix of colour and black & white. We couldn't be more pleased and Simon offers excellent value for money. We would have no hesitations in recommending him.

Fantastic photographer - absolutely blown away!

We were absolutely thrilled with Simon and the incredible job he did capturing our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, Simon was professional, warm, and so responsive, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

On the day of the wedding, Simon was like an invisible artist, catching candid, intimate moments without ever feeling intrusive. He also made sure we felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which is no small feat! His creativity and attention to detail shone through in every shot, from the breathtaking landscapes to the tiniest details in our décor.

When we received the photos, we were blown away. The quality and artistry exceeded our expectations, and each image truly tells the story of our day. Every time we look at them, we get to relive those precious moments, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you, Simon, for preserving the magic of our wedding day so beautifully. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a truly talented, passionate, and caring photographer!

A dream to work with

Simon was a dream to work with, from start to finish. He is extremely knowledgable, friendly and put us at ease immediately. On the day, he was such a calming presence and took the most gorgeous photos, without it ever feeling intrusive or staged.

Captured Every Special Moment Perfectly!

We couldn't be happier with Simon as our wedding photographer! From initial meetings to the big day, he was enthusiastic, calm and thorough. He immediately put us at ease and captured every special moment beautifully, from the wedding morning through to evening celebrations. The photos have truly blown us away, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommend!

Everything we hoped for from our wedding photographer

Simon was wonderful to work with from start to finish. His care for clients is remarkable -- he met with us multiple times beforehand to walk through everything, he scouted locations in advance for our photos, and at our wedding he managed to be exactly as present as we needed him to be. No more, no less. Most importantly, his pictures were beautiful! It was an incredible day, and Simon was an integral part of it. We would recommend him to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
