About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: June 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!

Captured Our Day Perfectly – Thank You, Simon!

We couldn’t be happier with Simon as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was absolutely brilliant. He captured all the right moments perfectly – from the big, emotional highlights to the small, candid details that truly told the story of our day.

Simon was incredibly attentive throughout the entire process and made us feel completely at ease. His communication was always clear, prompt, and professional, which made planning so much easier. On the day itself, he blended in seamlessly, never missed a beat, and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time without ever being intrusive.

The photos are stunning – we’ve gone through them so many times already and each one brings back so many emotions. They perfectly reflect the joy, love, and laughter of the day.

We’re so grateful to have had Simon as part of our wedding. He exceeded all our expectations and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and thoughtful photographer.

Beautiful photos that captured the character of our day

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Simon as our wedding photographer. He was professional, warm, and easy to work with. We were impressed by his ability to blend seamlessly into the background, allowing the day to unfold naturally without ever feeling staged or intrusive.

Simon perfectly captured the personality of our day and we’re so grateful to have such beautiful memories to hold onto.

Simon was amazing and helped us capture lovely city shots and memories from an English - Argentinian wedding in London.

Professional, lovely style and amazing advice. 100% recommend him if you want natural, organic and classy pictures!

Everything we wanted and more

It’s difficult to find the words to explain how amazing Simon has been. His communication with us from the moment we approached him right up until the wedding day and beyond has filled us with nothing but confidence and comfort. On the wedding day itself, Simon was so cheerful and friendly and really helped to keep my nerves at bay. All our family and friends commented on how professional he was and at times we forgot he was even there while he was snapping away in the background! He completely understood what we wanted and the photos have made us speechless. They are more than we could have ever dreamt of, it’s such a talent and we are so grateful. Book Simon - it’s the best thing you’ll do!!

Captured us, not just the day ❤️

Choosing Simon as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, he candidly invested time to get to know us and who we are as a couple, not only to build a relationship but to capture photos that perfectly reflected who we are. That effort to build a genuine connection meant so much, and it came through in every photo.
On the day, he guided us with such ease and presence, giving us the space and encouragement to simply be ourselves while he quietly captured it all. When we saw the photos, we were genuinely blown away. He didn’t just take beautiful portraits, he preserved the essence of who we are as a couple. Every image feels intentional and full of meaning. Simon’s presence made the day feel even more special, and we’re incredibly grateful to have had him there with us.

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hey, I’m Simon, owner of Simon K. Lewis Photography.

Things to know about me….

Forty nine years old, father of two daughters, and hotellier to two awesome cats... photography was a mid-life career change for me , driven by a desire to produce work for my couples that they genuinely loved, and to grow creatively and professionally in an altogether new direction. Established properly in 2021, I'm massively proud of the Hitched Wedding Awards won in 2022, 2023, 2024 and again this year.

I share my home in Winchester with two legendary cats, Flash and Chloe, and my heart with two wonderful daughters, Siena and Liliana - though they’re off living their own adventures far away.

London’s wealth of social, creative, artistic and cultural awesomeness means I split my time between the capital and the south coast. And when I’m not in either of those spots, I’m probably off somewhere in Europe; my daughters live in Germany, my partner Anita is half Finnish, and I love all things Italian… so if I can, I will. Destination wedding or road trip, I’ll be down for either.

I’m easily as passionate about music as I am about photography. So when those two things collide, I’m a happy guy. If that sparks your curiosity, check out my ‘other work’ on my website simonklewis.com, to see what I mean.

I'd love to talk with you about your plans for your day, so we can see if I'm a good match for your day and vice versa. Please don't think twice about reaching out; I'd love to hear from you.
