Testimonials and reviews of Simon Biffen Photography
Danielle & Robin, Hestercombe Gardens
“On the day, Simon demonstrated a high level of empathy towards the event and created a calm and relaxed atmosphere. He was personable and charismatic, and blended in perfectly with the tone of the day.”
Simon’s candid and relaxed approach appealed to us straight away and he was fantastic right from the start. We were organising our relaxed and intimate and wedding from abroad and he was prompt with emails, made time to Skype and really listened to what we were looking for. In the run up to the wedding, Simon’s procedure for getting everything organised was simple and effective and made the whole thing seem rather easy! On the day, Simon demonstrated a high level of empathy towards the event and created a calm and relaxed atmosphere. He was personable and charismatic, and blended in perfectly with the tone of the day.
His laid back approach really put us at ease and made him feel more like a guest with a fancy camera! But the quality of his photos proved that here was a true professional at work. The shots are so beautiful. They capture not only the situation, but also the real emotion behind the moment. We’re so grateful to Simon for giving us these memories, especially for capturing the little moments throughout the day that we missed. Every time we go through the photos it’s like reliving the day all over again. That is something we will be eternally grateful for. Thank you Simon!

Freya & Marc, Hampshire
“Simon, what can we say but a massive thank you for capturing our day so beautifully. From start to finish your communication, creativity, fun and inspiration was invaluable.”
Your attention to detail and just getting everything ‘spot on’ made for an extremely relaxed and enjoyable time - it really was the best day ever! You didn’t miss a moment and the photos will forever remind us of the truly wonderful wedding day we shared.
Everyone commented on your friendly approach and style on the day and this was again echoed when we received the images. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to any of our friends in the future. Thank you for all the memories!

Claire & Joe, Newton House
“Choosing Simon as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and most successful decisions we made about our day. Simon made the organisation so easy in the run-up, and on the day was fantastic.”
He was so unobtrusive, which was really important to us, it felt like he was just another guest on the day. He somehow managed to get all the shots we wanted without making us or the guests feel like we were being organised at all! We couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. We absolutely love our pictures, they capture the feeling of the day so perfectly, and Simon really excels in capturing all those wonderful spontaneous moments in the candid shots, as well as the more formal ones. We have had so many compliments on our pictures, and people always comment how happy and relaxed we are in the shots, which is exactly what we wanted - thank you Simon. The only downside is that all the pictures are so wonderful that it is impossible to narrow them down for the album!

Kate & Lee, Orchardleigh
“From start to finish, Simon was fantastic; from helping us to consider all of the shots we would want, through to timings of the day.”
“We got married on the shortest day of the year in a church with no electricity or heating so light was massive factor, as was time. Simon handled what I would have considered a difficult photo-shoot brilliantly. He helped us so much and we were in no doubt we had chosen the right person to capture our magical day.
Kate has a mild Pinterest addiction so had a few fairly ‘out there’ requests for Simon (long exposure shots, sparkler shots etc) all of which he captured fantastically well; we had several comments on them saying they looked like movie posters! He put all our guests at ease and took all sorts of requests from anyone who asked during the day.
The quality of photos is out of this world and the service that Simon delivered put my wife and I totally at ease. Professional and friendly, he had Kate and I in stitches while we we doing our couple photos. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Helen & Dan, Bailbrook House
“We can't thank Simon enough for the beautiful photos he took of our wedding day. Simon made us feel at ease from the word go.”
He met with Helen and I a number of times to find out what we wanted and worked effortlessly with us to ensure it happened. Throughout the day Simon was professional and discreet, which really enabled us to relax and have fun with him. Simon really does go the extra mile, not only did he produce an awesome Queensberry album, for which we will treasure forever, he also made sure our photos were available to view online while we were on our honeymoon so we were able to show members of the family that were unable to attend the wedding. Thank you!

Pips & Ian, Somerset
“Thank you so much for beautifully capturing every bit of our wedding day. Having another look through the album all the happy memories come flooding back.”
Simon was the photographer at our friends wedding and it was just luck that he was free on our date. As we were told on the day, a wet knot is a tighter knot… well it rained ALL day, so that is a good start! Despite the weather Simon (and his wellies) captured the day beautifully, with photos inside and out, and the atmosphere in the marquee can be seen throughout. Thank you Simon, we have already recommended you several times over.

Nicola & Chris, Eltham
“Everyone always tells you that your wedding day rushes past taking you along with it, but even so, we were surprised just how quickly our special day flew by.”
We were so pleased to come back from our honeymoon to hundreds of shots of our wedding to look through. Each picture brought back many happy memories; there wasn’t a dry eye in the house! We had every confidence that would be the case because Simon had spent a great deal of time talking to Chris and I to ensure he provided the service we wanted. We sent him Pinterest moods boards to create inspiration and he carefully met all our demands. On the day he was discreet and really put us at ease. As a result we have a beautiful album that we can cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Simon!

Holly & Tom, Taunton School
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the photographs from our wedding. Rather than structuring our day around photographs we wanted a photographer that was able to capture the day as it evolved, catching those precious, spontaneous moments.”
Simon was able to just that. He has a fantastic ability to blend in with the crowd and produce brilliant images from morning preparations to dancing in the evening. His approach to the day was faultless, quickly navigating new surroundings and highlighting the best features of our venue. Simon had some brilliant personal touches - capturing the small important details alongside fantastic shots of our guests, which made a truly amazing set of images. We would highly recommend Simon to any couple who are looking for a wedding photographer with the ability to capture their personality and style.

Cara & David, Great Tythe Barn
“As a couple who are not naturals in front of the camera, we are so happy with our pictures; people have commented they are probably the best wedding pictures they have ever seen.”
After calling a lot of photographers, a lot who I didn’t feel comfortable around, a friend of mine recommended Simon. After speaking to him I felt more relaxed as he wasn’t pushy about the pictures I should have, but actually listened to what we wanted. On the day guests actually thought Simon was a family friend because he was so friendly and relaxed. I would recommend Simon to anyone.
