“Made us feel completely at ease”

We already knew that Simon was an excellent photographer after seeing his portfolio, however what we hadn’t realised was the high level of service and commitment he would give, to ensuring you receive the best photos and captured moments of our Big Day!

He listened to what we wanted and the style of photographs that we prefer, made us feel completely at ease (we are literally laughing our heads off in most!), and gave his absolute all towards capturing the most amazing memories for us. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

“No awkward posing, just great moments captured in his gorgeous style. ”

Simon was wonderful! We loved his relaxed style: completely unintrusive and candid. Everyone told us to try and make time to spend together on the day as it goes so quickly. Simon made sure we got that, and had us laughing and joking together, enjoying each other’s company while he got some great shots. No awkward posing, just great moments captured in his gorgeous style.

Before the day itself he was organised and approachable, and afterwards we received our highlights reel and photos really quickly, and loved them! Our family and friends are also really impressed with how friendly and professional he was, and especially with the quality of the photos. People have congratulated us on our choice of photographer! We can’t thank you enough for capturing our day so beautifully.

“I was blown away by the emotions, the feelings and the stories the photos told”

I spent a long time researching wedding photographers in my area and was hit hard by simons natural photography. Simon went automatically to the top of my list and we are so happy that he could shoot our wedding. After having the opportunity to meet, it was clear how his personality and passion matched his talent. On our big day Simon was focused, professional and attentive behind the lens and so much fun during all the bits in between. Group shots were super smooth and efficient, the individual shots with my husband and I were very fun.Through out the course of day Simon continued to bring a thirst and enthusiasm for capturing our wedding and what made that day so special for us, I know those images will be personal forever memories. I was blown away by the details, the emotions, the feelings and the stories the photos told. If you are looking for a photographer to capture the REAL moments, the best ones… you have found him!

“Simon is brilliant at relaxing you and making you forget you are having your photo taken”

Simon is an absolutely brilliant photographer. We first met Simon at a friend’s wedding and were very impressed with the way he operated and the photos he produced were stunning. From the day we approached Simon for our wedding he was nothing but professional and fun to be around. He really helped in the lead up to the wedding, helping plan the group shots and where and when these would take place.

On the day itself Simon was absolutely brilliant. He managed to navigate a quite tricky layout in the church to take some beautiful photos there and, back at the reception, he captured our friends enjoying themselves at dinner and on the dance floor. The couple photos were something I was slightly nervous about but Simon is brilliant at relaxing you and making you forget you are having your photo taken. It was actually a really enjoyable part of the day which I didn’t expect it to be.I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon as a wedding photographer as our experience with him was absolutely brilliant start to finish.

“From start to finish on the day he made us really relaxed”

We couldn’t be happier with the photos which Simon took for our wedding. We found him really helpful before the wedding with little tips to think of, for example leaving enough of a gap when walking down the aisle, just things that we wouldn’t necessarily have thought of. From start to finish on the day he made us really relaxed and he was really unobtrusive walking around taking photos yet is also really sociable and loads of our guests seem to have had a chat with him at some point during the day! Simon was really great at capturing the day and looking at the photos we were so pleased to see that he had caught so many moments that we had either missed on the day or had wanted to be captured but hadn’t thought to ask. Probably the part of the day that we were not looking forward to was the couple shoot as we are not ones for posing for photos. However, Simon completely put us at our ease, and had us chatting and laughing the whole time so that we didn’t feel uncomfortable at all and we are thrilled with our couples photos. We loved the highlights video as it is something so easy to share with family/friends and it perfectly tells the story of the day. We would definitely recommend Simon to anyone looking at wedding photographers.

“The best thing about Simon's photography - he captures natural moments”

After a Skype consultation with Simon, we were convinced that he was the right wedding photographer for us! His relaxed but professional approach has provided us with the most beautiful wedding photographs. From initial consultation through to shooting on the day, we were impressed with every aspect of Simons service. Being in front of the camera can feel unnatural for anyone and so we took the opportunity to do a beloved shoot prior to our wedding. This gave us a chance to see how Simon worked before our big day. The best thing about Simons photography - he captures natural moments. Moments which we can now look back on and will treasure for a lifetime. We were so pleased with our wedding photos and cannot recommend Simon enough!

“Choosing Simon was one of the best decisions we made”

Choosing a wedding photographer is an important decision. You need to be confident in the choice you make! After a lot of searching for wedding photographers online and viewing endless amount of websites we came across Simon’s breathtaking photos! We instantly fell in love with his casual, natural approach to capturing the day! He has a very unique style that made us feel at ease and allowed him to capture some very candid moments between us as a couple. On the day he did not let us down. His shots were incredible and every time we look at the photos we feel like we are rewinding time and reliving that very moment! Simon is very professional and kept in regular contact with us throughout the whole process. On the day we felt like he was another friend at our wedding as he blended in effortlessly. We absolutely love our photos and will forever cherish these special moments. Choosing Simon was one of the best decisions we made and we highly recommend him!

“Simon found some amazing spots for photos around our venue...and captured the mood of the day perfectly.”

I’d come across Simon’s beautiful photography a few years ago, and always kept an eye on his work, admiring the laid-back yet elegant style of the moments he captures. When my husband and I got engaged, I got in touch straight away and luckily Simon was available to shoot our wedding in Amsterdam this autumn. He was super professional and helpful in the run-up, and we felt confident that he was a safe pair of hands on the day and we wouldn’t need to worry about anything. Simon found some amazing spots for photos around our venue, despite it being in the centre of a busy city, and captured the mood of the day perfectly. We’ve had so many comments on how lovely the photos are, and are really happy with the final set. We were also impressed with how quickly the highlights reel and the final photos arrived - the box was already there waiting for us when we arrived back from honeymoon! We’d have no hesitation in recommending Simon. Thank you again!

“His relaxed style was exactly what we wanted...little posing, more action!”

Simon is a an absolutely great photographer - he captured every moment of our wedding perfectly. His relaxed style was exactly what we wanted - little posing, more action! We spoke to simon many times in the lead up to the wedding with him also sending us little quizzes to find out more about us both. He was so friendly and approachable at all times and on the day was as inconspicuous as you can be but also very sociable with our guests. We have fantastic visible memories of our day thanks to Simon. Thank you so much!

If you want beautiful, natural photograph’s that really capture the emotion of your wedding day then Simon is your man!

He shot our wedding last month and we’ve just had all the pictures back - they’re perfect! Simon is all about catching the actual moments of emotion of your day which was perfect for us as we didn’t want loads of posed photos. We love them!

“On the day, all our guests warmed to him and commented that he made their time more enjoyable...”

Not only do our photos look great, but we can honestly say that the overall experience Simon provided made our wedding even better. He is a genuinely friendly guy who you instantly warm to and was attentive and quick to respond to queries before the wedding, which made organisation a lot more straight forward. Simon made sure he got to know us as a couple and also got us to know a bit more about him. On the day, all our guests warmed to him and commented that he made their time more enjoyable which was a real bonus for us. Ultimately though it comes down to the photos. Not only did Simon share them quickly after the wedding, but he also provided a video montage of photos which told the story of the day. My wife and I must have now watched this video more than 100 times! We really love them and could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend Simon for weddings.

“Not only does he manage to capture the most beautiful images, he's also such a nice guy and genuinely someone you would want at your wedding.”

Simon is amazing. Not only does he manage to capture the most beautiful images, he’s also such a nice guy and genuinely someone you would want at your wedding. We weren’t overly keen on having too many formal or ‘couple’ shots and Simon totally understood that. He has clever ways of nailing photos so quickly that we really maximised the time we had with our guests. From our initial contact all the way through to receiving our photos, he was so professional and friendly and of course the most important thing, we couldn’t be happier with all our photos. Thank you so much!

“Every time we look at the photos they bring the day back to life!”

We chose Simon as we liked his relaxed informal style and how he managed to capture the feelings and emotions in his pictures. This is exactly what we got and more, every time we look at the photos they bring the day back to life!

We were impressed with the way in which Simon managed to take the best photo in any situation, using games to make us smile and laugh naturally and always looking for the best light in the area, even if that meant waiting for a cloud to pass! We also liked the fact that the photos were bright compared to some other photographers who opt for more of a ‘gothic’ look. He made us feel comfortable and was very friendly. We also loved the way the photos were received, lovely presentation box and the highlights reel. Wouldn’t think twice before recommending. Thank you so much Simon!

“...from the first point of contact we knew instantly we had made the right choice.”

My husband and I got recently married in Bath and we were really lucky to have Simon not only as our photographer but also as a witness. He responded to our ideas with great enthusiasm and from the first point of contact we knew instantly we had made the right choice.

He captured the story of our day beautifully by making it fun, enjoyable and full of excitement at the same time. Not once did we have to pose awkwardly for pictures or feel uncomfortable in front of the camera as Simon brings true emotions to life! We can’t thank him enough for the amazing pictures that will allow our friends and family to get a glimpse of our special day.

Not only is he very talented but also a nice person. It was a pleasure to have you around on our special day! Thank you so much!

Thank you again - I literally cannot recommend you enough to anyone getting married! See you in December for the Karin/Duff wedding!

“Your photos tell the story of the day perfectly and we will be forever grateful for that. ”

Simon thank you for capturing our day in a way we could only have wished for! Your photos tell the story of the day perfectly and we will be forever grateful for that.

Simon’s ability to capture people’s emotions at exactly the right time makes our photos very special. The detail of the day that Simon captured is stunning and the clarity of the photos is fantastic. As well, Simon was very conscious about capturing the uniqueness of our day which makes the photos that much more personal for us.

Simon was a real pleasure to work with and his natural approach suited us perfectly. As two people who really don’t like the camera, his professionalism, sense of humour, calm and reassuring manner really helped us to relax and enjoy ourselves, which he has documented so effortlessly in our photos.

All that’s left for us to say is thank you. Simon, thanks for all your time, effort, hard work and support. You are an outstanding photographer and the photographs you took we will always treasure and be incredibly proud of!

“The photos of our day are exceptional - everyone we have shown them to has said they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen.”

We hired Simon to take our wedding photos this summer and could not recommend him any higher. Before the day itself he took the time to meet up with us and get to know us on a personal level so we felt totally at ease and comfortable in front of him. The quality of his photos is second to none; we trawled through over 100 wedding photographers’ websites before deciding on Simon, as his photos stood out as being the best. He has great techniques for getting natural and sincere pictures - nothing is staged, and he has an amazing eye for composition. The photos of our day are exceptional - everyone we have shown them to has said they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. They perfectly capture the love and joy of the whole day; we couldn’t be happier with them.
