We got married in July, and Monima and Carl were absolutely phenomenal photographers! From start to finish, they brought so much energy, professionalism, and genuine warmth to our wedding. With it being an Asian wedding spread across three days, their planning and coordination were flawless and they captured every ceremony beautifully and made the whole experience feel effortless. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to be everywhere at once made our celebrations even more special. We couldn’t have asked for better photographers!

Over 1 year ago I was looking for a photographer for our wedding, no idea what I wanted or what to expect (never been professionally photographed before in this way). Signed up to Bark and within a short space of time Monima got in touch. She explained everything, understood that this wedding was even more important to capture in a special way as there were sick and terminally sick people attending, we wanted memories to last us a life time. Monima was caring, kind and understanding and I hired her and Carl on the spot, no second thoughts, I knew I had hired the right couple for the job, also at an extremely reasonable price. Well fast forward a year and Edward and I celebrated our wedding at Eastwood Hall on the 6th of September. Thats when I really saw the most enigmatic duo shine. Carl and Monima captured every moment, in video, photo and ariel shots. They not only captured it, they saw the day from two different perspectives, building a true story of the day. They were there on hand to support Ed and I and my mum who is in a wheelchair. The most amazing part is that you can see how much they love it. Always looking for unique ways to capture a moment, their love for photography shines through constantly. I would hire Monima and Carl again and again, I plan to hire them in the future. If you want stunning pictures with soul, people who care and work to understand you and what you like in photos, friendly and hard working hire these photographers. Two of the nicest, dedicated and brilliant photographers I have known. Thank you both so much.

Absolutely amazing Duo! They captured our day perfectly. We would highly recommend. Very friendly polite and professional team

We can't recommend Carl & Monima enough. From the moment we booked we were looked after the whole process. They were very helpful with editing some photos we needed before the big day which made such a difference and was much appreciated. They were also more than happy to make adjustments at short notice and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you both for helping capture our big day.

Thank you both sooooo much for everything that you did for both of us, all of our guests and family.

You both went above and beyond to make our day as amazing as it was the pictures are fantastic and the videos of our ceremony, speeches and our first dance means that I get to relive our wedding day whenever I want to and that to me is utterly priceless ( Laurie loves it too because it makes him happy seeing how happy I am with everything😜) And you both gave that to us 🥰💕

I cannot recommend you both enough. I will share this post and I will continue to share your posts and if anyone asks me for a videographer or photographer duo I know who I will be recommending. Simplygreatshots Photography

Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re doing it right!! ❤️🤘🏻

Lots of Love Charlotte and Laurie

From our very first meeting, Monima made us feel completely at ease. She took the time to meet with us before the wedding day to understand exactly what we wanted, going through every detail so carefully and making sure we felt 100% happy with the plan. Her communication was fantastic — she was organised, thorough, and gave us complete confidence that everything was under control.The whole service was extremely good value for money.

On the day itself, she was simply amazing. Calm, friendly, and professional, she blended in perfectly while still capturing every special moment so naturally. The photos are absolutely stunning — full of emotion, colour, and joy — and perfectly tell the story of our day.

We couldn’t be happier with the results or with how smoothly everything went. Thank you, Monima giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. You were an absolute dream to work with!

Feeling so grateful for Monima & Carl at Simply Great Shots — they didn’t just capture our wedding day, they captured us. From our first chat, they made us feel so comfortable and cared for, and by the time the big day arrived, it felt like we had two friends behind the cameras.
Every single photo and video is pure magic. Full of laughter, love, and moments we’ll cherish forever. The drone footage, highlight film, and every candid shot blew us away. They went above and beyond in every way, delivered everything earlier than promised, and made even my photo-shy wife feel confident and beautiful.

Simply put, they’re not just photographers, they’re storytellers with the biggest hearts. We’ll treasure what they captured forever.

Where do we even start? Choosing Simply Great Shots for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the very first contact, Monima and Carl made us feel welcome, comfortable, and completely reassured. They are the perfect blend of professional and personable. The kind of people who instantly put you at ease and genuinely care about making your day as special as possible.

Their communication was phenomenal from start to finish. Every question, every message, every detail was handled quickly and thoughtfully. They stayed in touch throughout the entire build-up, right up to the wedding day, and even afterward. Nothing was ever too much trouble. It honestly felt like we were talking to friends rather than suppliers, and that’s exactly what they became.

On the day of the wedding, they were absolutely incredible. They blended effortlessly into the background, capturing natural, beautiful moments without ever being intrusive. Their calm presence and friendly energy helped everyone relax, and they somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever being noticed! They brought out confidence in me, which meant the world to both of us. Every guest commented on how lovely, polite, and professional they were throughout the day.

Their creativity and attention to detail were on another level. From stunning portrait shots to candid laughter, to breathtaking drone footage and a beautifully edited highlight video — every image and clip told the story of our day perfectly. We received preview photos the very next morning (which completely blew us away), and the full online gallery arrived much quicker than expected. The final albums were delivered exactly as promised, and the quality was nothing short of amazing.

Our pre-wedding shoot was also an incredible experience. It helped us feel relaxed and excited for what was to come. By the time the wedding arrived, we felt like we had two extra friends by our side who just happened to be phenomenal photographers. Even after the wedding, we’ve stayed in touch and have been out for meals together. That’s how genuine and kind Monima and Carl are.

They went above and beyond in every single way. Every promise was kept, every detail was handled with care, and every expectation was exceeded. They didn’t just capture memories, they helped create them. The love, effort, and passion they put into their work is truly special, and it shines through in every photo and video.

If you’re looking for photographers who are not only talented and creative but also genuinely wonderful people who care about you and your story, then look no further than Simply Great Shots. You won’t just get stunning photos and videos, you’ll get an experience filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

A genuine 5 - star service from start to finish. Highly, highly recommended! ❤️

💍 Not just photographers — Monima and Carl became part of our story, our hearts and we’ll treasure what they captured forever.

Kim & Matt ❤️💕❤️

The photographers went above and beyond for our wedding, the prep leading up was second to none, very professional and organised, really out our minds at ease throughout the whole process. Lots of additional parts such as videos taken and use of drone and various extra back drop settings to really enhance our photos. All of our guests loved them and to be honest they felt a part of our special day! Thank you so much for everything you did for us!
