Testimonials and reviews of Simon Biffen Photography

Georgina & Gary, Elmore Court
“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!

Stephanie & Mark, Maunsel House
“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!

Karin & Tyrone, Bath
“...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!

Georgie & Oli, Farm Wedding, Somerset
“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!

Sarah & Joe, Roughmoor Farm
“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.

“...he put us at ease and captured some perfect moments not only between the two of us but of the day as a whole.”
Simon was just incredible - patient with all my questions / prep beforehand, non-intrusive during the ceremony, he put us at ease and captured some perfect moments not only between the two of us but of the day as a whole. His sense of humour and the images he captured were just beautiful - more than I had hoped for!! Thank you so much Simon I have already recommended you to other friends.

“In our couple shots he made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, I think these were some of our best memories from the day.”
We were over the moon with out photographs from Simon, everything about them was perfect. He captured all of our favourite moments without being obtrusive, and in our couple shots he made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, I think these were some of our best memories from the day. Our families absolutely love the photos, and the slideshow sneak peak made so many people cry! We were amazed at how quickly we got out pictures, and how incredible they were. Thank you Simon, you’re awesome and worth absolutely every penny.

Sian & Daniel, Holm House, Wales
“He blended in seamlessly with our guests and his style allowed us to enjoy the whole day without endless staged group shots...”
Simon recently photographed our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. He really spent some time to get to know us before the day and had some inventive ways of making sure we were relaxed. We were both a bit apprehensive about having to pose for photos but Simon made it fun, natural and didn’t mind getting soaking wet on our rainy wedding day!
He blended in seamlessly with our guests and his style allowed us to enjoy the whole day without endless staged group shots of different configurations. We loved having him capture our day and we can’t wait to see the final photos, what we have seen so far have been amazing! Thanks again, Simon.

Sarah & Neil, Itchenor Sailing Club
“Simon’s work is extremely unique. He captured the range of emotions throughout our day with such accuracy and he was very conscious of reflecting ‘us’”
Wow, what an emotional day! Captured so beautifully by Simon. From the morning breakfast to the last drink, Simon was in the right place at the right time.
His approach was professional but relaxed and our guests commented on how impressed they were too, barely even noticing him. Simon’s incredible eye for detail was superb and he clearly knows how to get the best out of every photo opportunity.
We would really like to thank Simon for all his work and returning from our honeymoon and seeing all the photos was incredible. We have already recommended Simon to friends and we would encourage anyone who is looking to look no further.

Jenny & James, Nonsuch Mansion
“Simon photographed our London wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made.”
Having met him at a wedding of our friends a few years previously and having seen how beautifully their wedding photos came out, we knew we wouldn’t regret it! Simon was professional from start to finish, going above and beyond on our big day. On the day itself Simon made sure to make us feel completely relaxed. He dressed smartly and discretely shot our wedding day like a complete professional. And once the wedding day was over, he surprised us with teasers of what photos were to come. The photos arrived so quickly that when they arrived it came as a complete surprise. The photos were stunning I can’t stop looking! Thank you Simon!

Keely & Luke, The Bull Inn
“Simon’s approach is very personal, it is important to him to capture the essence of the couple themselves in their own style, which we greatly appreciated. ”
Simon captured our wedding day beautifully, his photos of the day illustrate the full range of emotions and sentiments felt by all. We are both amazed at how vividly our happiness is conveyed in the pictures, they are a real treasure for us to keep and through which to relive our wedding day.
We chose Simon because we wanted a more natural approach to the wedding photos and it was important to us to have someone who put us at ease. Our couple shoot was our favourite time of the wedding day, it was a really special time in which Simon not only captured beautiful shots but also let us enjoy the quiet time together.
On top of the beautiful photos he takes Simon is a pleasure to work with, he was on hand to help with everything from buttonholes to car parking issues! He is incredibly calm and very reassuring. Many of our guests commented on how professional and discreet Simon was and everyone has been delighted to look over the many naturally captured moments.
We would really like to thank Simon for all his work and support on the day and would highly recommend him. Our photos were with us in no time which was wonderful so we could relive the day again and again!

Carmen & Steve, Maunsel House
“Simon made us feel completely at ease... his vision and talent is extraordinary and the final pictures totally exceeded our expectations.”
“Writing a testimonial has been quite challenging, not because Simon isn’t gifted – in fact quite the opposite; it’s been difficult to know where to start the praise! From the moment we met Simon we knew he was ‘the one’. Throughout the day he blended in with our family and friends and never imposed on us or them. He captured every moment of our day. Upon returning from our honeymoon we received the most perfect personalised package and it instantly soothed our post wedding blues.
When we saw our photos for the first time it was if we were watching a film in stills, moments we didn’t witness and reliving those we were present to. He stole an emotion in each and every one of his photographs. We could feel the immense love and atmosphere of the day throughout the whole collection and at that moment we both fell even more in love with each other and the day we decided to promise ourselves to one another.
We are truly thankful to Simon for sharing his genius with us and allowing us to relive our wedding day for many years to come - we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

Hannah & Rob, Huntsham Court
“Choosing a photographer can be a really tricky wedding decision as they have such an important role. Hand on heart I can say we are so happy we chose Simon to take on the task. The photos we have from our wedding are beautiful, full of detail, fun & intimacy.”
They capture the excitement, joy, love and laughter we experienced. We absolutely love them. There are even a few things we missed on the day that we now have photographic evidence of!
Simon has a wonderfully calm manner and helps maintain a genuine sense of ease, which you can really see in the photos he takes. He was able to blend in with the guests so that it never felt like the photography was getting in the way of the day. Returning from our honeymoon to find our wedding photos ready and waiting was just the icing on a rather incredible cake.

“Simon is not only a true professional, but he is also a genuinely nice guy! ”
“We had seen Simon photographing a friends wedding the year before ours and were so impressed with the relationship he formed with the guests that we knew we had to have him for our big day! Right from the off Simon was excited about our theme and somehow managed to make us feel that ours was the only wedding he was working on - quite incredible considering he is fully booked throughout the year! We made the best choice in choosing Simon and our photos are fantastic, we wanted a soft and romantic look and he achieved that effortlessly.
