This is your guy!

Brilliant service from start to finish!
Simon was very quick at responding when I was enquiring. So straight away I booked him, reasonable prices with a top notch service.
He kept I touch running up to our big day then dropped me a message the day before. Easy going and down to earth guy, could not ask for anything more. Actually asked us what we wanted which I think is important. The day after our big day Simon sent over some image(as quick as that) I loved them straight away! Perfect pictures for our perfect day! We are just choosing our photos ready for our photo book. Over the moon with Simon’s work and service. Thankyou so much.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most amazing wedding photographer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most amazing wedding photographer – we couldn’t recommend Simon enough!
Simon was absolutely incredible from start to finish on our wedding day at Mosborough Hall! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we are so grateful to him for capturing our special day so perfectly.
We’ve now received our 650 photos, and every single one is absolutely amazing! Looking through them has brought all those special moments back to life, and we couldn’t be happier with how they’ve turned out. Simon has captured so many beautiful memories that we will treasure forever.
What makes Simon so special isn’t just his incredible talent behind the camera, but also the person he is. He is so polite, friendly, funny and genuinely lovely to be around. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and evening, and all of our guests commented on just how fantastic he was! He was brilliant with everyone, especially the children, and fitted in so naturally with our family and friends.
You can genuinely see how much Simon loves what he does, not only through the quality of his photographs but also through the effort, care and personality he brings to the day. He goes above and beyond, and it really shows.
Choosing a wedding photographer is such an important decision because these are the memories you get to keep forever, and we honestly feel so lucky to have had Simon capture ours. We will look back at these photographs for the rest of our lives, and we can’t thank him enough for giving us something so special.
Simon, thank you for being such a huge part of our wedding day and for doing such an incredible job. You are a genuinely lovely person with an amazing talent, and we would recommend you to absolutely anyone without a second thought. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, professional, funny, kind and truly passionate about what he does, Simon is your man!
Thank you for everything, Simon. You were amazing, our photos are perfect, and we couldn’t be happier! ❤️📸

Wonderful service

We had a wonderful time with Simon, he captured everything we asked for, he was quick to reply to our messages and traveled to us in Leicester for our wedding. We received sneak peeks of our photos within days and received our full photos well within the time frame agreed. Simon was lovely to work with, he was polite and friendly. We love your photos and are really happy with the service we received. Thank you

Amazing from start to finish. Made everyone feel at ease including my daughter who struggles in environments that are new to her. Captured memories that will be cherished a lifetime. The quality is amazing and very fast at getting them back to you, you even get a sneak peek. Highly recommend and have already had guests asking for your details for future weddings

What an amazing Photographer would definitely recommend

I booked with Simon to do our Wedding on the 13th of June from start to finish. Everything was perfect. He took his time and get the perfect photos. He never rushed us which means the most as I have a sister who is disabled and in her wheelchair and she isn’t any good with stress and people rushing so he the perfect gentleman all through the day I would 100% recommend him he knows what photos to take so that you have everything from your perfect Day and he makes you feel so comfortable. There is no stress or anything throughout the day he is amazing. Can’t wait to see our finished photos of our wedding because the ones that he has sent so far perfect

Wedding Photography💍

Simon did our wedding photography at Mosborough Hall Hotel and the photos are simply stunning. We felt so relaxed and had a good laugh with Simon. He was very knowledgable and knew the venue well which led for lovely photos in areas we didn’t even know existed! Would highly recommend, we are over the moon with our pictures. Thank you so much🤍

Don’t search endlessly this is the BEST of the best!

I spent days looking for a photographer for my wedding but one that fit my budget but still provided the professional images I wanted. I feel the photographer is one of the most important parts as this is where we look back and remember our amazing day!

I struggled to find a photographer as it was very complicated and didn’t want to find a cheap one which would mess the day up.

I found Simon and looked at his work, it looked amazing so after great discussion I booked and the price is really good too.

I was not disappointed he was a lovely guy who made us feel comfortable and natural, he was very professional and caught some amazing moments for us!

I would 100 percent without hesitation recommend him to anyone! In fact he was so good my friend had also booked him after meeting him and seeing the amazing job he did.

Honestly Simon is the BEST around and I really mean that! As mentioned the images of my wedding were so important to me! I love showing people!

Thank you Simon

Our amazing wedding photographer!

Simon was mine and my Wife’s photographer for our wedding on 29/10/2025. I couldn’t have wished for anything better. Photographs of your big day is one of the main parts that you have to get right. From the moment we first had a chat, he made us feel so comfortable and not once did I doubt how amazing our photographs would be. Simon came in on the morning and slotted in the background of all the chaos. He wasn’t in the way and asking for crazy outrageous angles, he listened to everything we wanted and referred back to a list we had ready for him. He’s a laugh and easy to talk to as well which was a big bonus! Highly recommend Simon Mallinder / UK inspired photos to anybody, for such an affordable price as well. Thank you so much. Bonus points for sending us a good amount of photo previews the following day and one within about 2 hours. Was told we would receive our photos within 4-6 weeks, arrived in 3 weeks and before Xmas!

Fantastic Photographer!

Simon was incredible from start to finish! He was able to capture everything and put us all at ease, he was comfortable and friendly! Helped in the background and gwnujnlet had such a lovely personality too! Captured all the big moments and lots of little in-between. He even gave me a sneak peak the following day!! Only downfall is now picking between the images because they are all so beautiful!
