We could not have asked for more!

Simon was fantastic! He really took the time in the lead up to the wedding to talk us through the day and find out what we were after. The photos are truly beautiful. Simon stayed right into the evening, we couldn’t thank him enough for being so amazing! We would highly recommend Simon.

Lost for words

Simon was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. From the initial video call we just knew we had to secure him as our photographer. Simon is incredibly personable and has a very calming nature about him, making the idea of having photographs taken a fun and less daunting experience. And that’s exactly what it was! The quality of the photos are second to none - we were lost for words. He’s captured every emotion. Thank you so so much.

Can't recommend Simon enough!

So glad we found Simon! Within minutes of chatting to him it's clear that he is GENUINELY passionate about what he does through the way he speaks about all the weddings he's worked on.
The images really speak for themselves! He turned a miserable grey day into something amazing! He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot which meant wading through bushes and momentarily stopping traffic! My only complaint is that he couldn't have cloned himself so we could capture even more moments from the day.
Thank you so much Simon.

Magical - We can’t stop smiling at the photos

Our wedding was an incredible day and seeing the photos produced by Simon means we can forever look back at the day with the fondest of memories.
Every time we look at the photos, we see happiness and that is thanks to Simon. He was able to capture everyone at their best; acting naturally, enjoy themselves and being part of the moment. I can’t stop smiling. The difficult decision will be deciding which photos to have hung in our home!

Superb - authentic and artistic

Simon is not only a superb technical photographer, but he genuinely cares about the couples and people he captures and succeeds in the challenging task of truly capturing the raw emotion in their key moments. We were blown away by his images, which made our day look as glorious as it felt. They captured all the love and emotion we felt. And he did all this so subtly and charmingly on the day. He was a delight to spend time with - a genuine, caring personality with enormous talent. Thank you Simon.

Exactly what we wanted!

Our experience with Simon was really amazing! From the moment we met over a video call you get the feeling that Simon was very interested in us as a couple and as people to get to know us even before we talked business. He gets to know you and what you like to get a feeling of what type of photos you would like and you can really see this in his work! By the time I actually met Simon in person was on the wedding day but it felt like we already knew each other. You can really see the passion he has for photography and he really knows what he is doing with the camera.

When we got our official wedding photos back from him, it was like reliving our wedding day with all the details and hidden moments he captured! You don’t even know that he is there and looking at the photos you know he was everywhere! His attention to detail is amazing, his guidance during the couple shoot was a pure joy!

We are very happy, no extremely happy with our photos! You get all the digital photos and can make your own wedding book! His work is amazing and would highly recommend Simon. If we ever (or my friends) need a photographer for a big occasion coming up, Simon will be the first number I will call.

Thank you Simon for your amazing work and all future couples will be very lucky and happy to have you as their Photographer!

Expert and well-mannered wedding photographer!

"Big thank you to Simon for his work in photographing our wedding so expertly. Cannot recommend him enough – thorough preparation, a wonderful manner and a pleasure to work with on the big day.

Highly recommended

Being the most un photogenic and awkward person in front of a camera is not a good start. Simon made me feel very comfortable and made the sitting more like hanging out with a great friend. Informal, relaxed and natural without the awkward posing etc.

It’s clear that Simon is passionate about his photography and capturing the sentiment and mood rather than just the look. I’m delighted with the shots and would highly recommend Simon for portrait, professional head shots and weddings.

Wedding Photography

I hired Simon for my wedding pics, and he’s been really very professional and responsive before and after the wedding.
He took the time to explaining me and my husband how he would direct everything and he took the lead on organising the group of people to include in every pic.
I love his attitude and the care he takes in doing the work. I would 100% recommend.

Very Professional Wedding Photographer!

We chose Simon to photograph our wedding because of all of the photographers we spoke to, Simon by far was the most passionate about the day being all about us. He explained his style and this matched exactly what we wanted.
On the day, Simon arrived early and took photos of our venue. The photos he took of our day were absolutely fantastic! Simon also stayed late into the evening to capture the most amazing natural moments, and only once he was happy that he'd taken all of the right shots, and once he checked in with us, he finally left us to the last few dances.
Simon's communication throughout was fantastic and we are so happy to have received our link with so many great photos of our perfect day.

Over the moon with our wedding photos

We got married in June this year and Simon photographed our day beautifully. We are over the moon with our photos and are exactly what we wanted. He captured so many beautiful moments without even being seen and did a great job of blending into the wedding without drawing attention to himself to make sure he got all the candid moments. Even in the last hour running up to the ceremony, we had a mishap with our florist and I was a little bit stressed and he did everything he could do calm the situation and help us out. Really lovely guy and a great photographer, I have been recommending him to everyone!

Beautiful memories on our Wedding Day

We had the pleasure of having Simon as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Simon's keen eye for detail and artistic approach captured the essence of our special day in the most beautiful way possible.

One standout aspect of Simon's work was his ability to effortlessly capture the joy and innocence of our children throughout the day.

We are truly grateful for the timeless memories he has given us.

The perfect photographer for our special day

Anybody searching for a wedding photographer need look no further than Simon!
From the beginning Simon put us at ease and talked us through his relaxed, authentic and unstaged approach to photographing our special day. He really put as at ease and we were delighted that he was available to shoot our wedding.
A few weeks before the wedding Simon touched base to go through the timings and plan for the day. We also decided on a couple of group shots we wanted to do, as well as a list of special items we wanted closeups of on the day.
On the wedding day Simon arrived bright and early and was so warm and friendly to all of our guests. He was always where the action was but never in the way - the perfect combination! He stayed until he had gathered all the shots he and we wanted (which I think was about 10.30pm) but was willing to stay later.
Our photos came back to us at the end of the month following our wedding and were simply stunning. Simon has really captured the essence of our day and some shots. We feel truly spoilt by the amount of incredible photos we have ended up with.
We couldn't recommend Simon enough, from how warm and reassuring he was throughout the process to the incredible quality of his work - he's fantastic!
