About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: October 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!

Outstanding!

Simon truly was the perfect addition to our wedding day! From the pre-wedding meetings, to the big day, Simon really did exceed our expectations. He somehow managed to add such value to the day, yet disappear into the background at times to really capture our day perfectly!
Whilst Simon’s work speaks for itself, we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding photographer.

Genuinely magical photos and a wonderful experience

I could not recommend Simon more highly. I knew I wanted photos that captured the feeling of the day, and reflected us as a couple, and he delivered above and beyond on this. I am not hugely relaxed around cameras and knew I didn’t want to feel like I had to be posed for the whole day. The way Simon works is so natural, and you really know him by the time the day rocks around so it is a very genuine and relaxed relationship. His communication is incredible and he walks you through exactly how he works and what to expect. He is so dedicated to capturing the people and the spirit of the moments, and the result is both beautiful photographs in themselves, but also photographs that sing with emotion.

I debated whether or not to include the last photo on here, because it is not really typical of what to expect, and I didn’t want it to put people off. I wasn’t sure if it would be helpful as a reference point. However, it is testament to how dedicated Simon is to getting the essence of the people (however weird and wonderful that may be), even if they ask for a strange late night photo shoot with friends in the woods…

Excellent Wedding Photographer

Simon was a wonderful wedding photographer and we would recommend him to any couples looking for one for their special day. Kept us at ease and laughing the whole day. We choose him for the intimate and beautiful style, and we are so pleased with the photos.

Atmospheric wedding photography

Simon is an engaging and professional photographer whose enthusiasm is evident in his approach to individualised images that truly captured the emotional essence and evolving dynamics of our wedding.
He has a flexibility to create unique reflections of both ourselves and our guests throughout the wedding from the moment we stepped out the car to cutting the cake. He takes both formal and informal groups and the quality of the photos is amazing.
We love our photos very much and will cherish the memories of our day partly through our photo collection over our lifetime.
Simon's business approach is fair and the value for money highly appreciated.
Thank you so much to Simon for supporting us through the morning whilst being discrete when taking so many natural and informal shots. It was fun, enjoyable and a pleasure to have you as part of our wedding day.

Simon Lewis Photographer

Throughout the process, Simon was generous with his time and very attentive. He also has a great personality and is easy to get on with; someone you can be your genuine self around.

Simon truly cares about delivering the wedding photos of your dreams, and understands that every couple is different and aims to cater to every request where possible.

Our wedding day was perfect. Simon arrived early (and left late!) He captured the most beautiful images of the property, of our service, our photoshoot, group photos, and incredible candid shots of the wedding breakfast and disco. As mentioned, he stayed a little later without me asking to get a few shots of our fireworks.

All our guests commented that our photographer was great, he had a naturally good rapport with everyone and one of our guests even used his camera to take a group photo with Simon!

Simon works in the background and rarely gets in the way, in fact you’ll hardly notice he’s there. He was incredibly generous with his time on our wedding day, and he doesn’t have a limit of final edit photographs he will share with you. Looking back through our gallery really evokes the same emotions and energy of our wedding day, simply by the way Simon captured every moment.

Thank you Simon! I can’t recommend you enough; Rodney and I are truly grateful for the incredible experience and the for the beautiful images you have now memorialised. Thank you so much x

The perfect photographer

Simon was absolutely fantastic. From our first video call to discuss what we wanted, he listened and was so personal and compassionate. He made sure he knew exactly what we wanted.

On the day Simon quietly took the shots, i absolutely hate having my photo taken and i didnt even know he was taking them most of the time! He reacted to the pace of the day, was so conscientious and got so many amazing shots.

Thank you so much Simon, we're absolutely delighted with the outcome and experience you provided.

Turner Wedding

We can’t thank Simon enough for capturing our wedding day. From our first meeting we knew Simon, is who we wanted to capture our special day.

Simon was so friendly, professional, made us laugh and feel relaxed.

We received our photos sooner than we expected and the quality exceeded our expectations. They are so beautiful and we were blown away. We have received so many lovely compliments from family and friends.

Simon blended into the background whilst still capturing all the special moments. Every picture tells a story and Simon perfectly captured the love, joy and emotion of our day.

We can’t recommend Simon enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

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.

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.

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!!

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!
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.
