Fantastic Photographer Who Will Make You Feel Totally At Ease
It was an absolute delight working with Simon. He's so chilled out and helped make my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease. Looking at some of the images Simon captured, we keep remarking 'I didn't even notice him stood there!' or 'How did he get that shot without us realising?' - this is exactly what we were looking for, and we found it with Simon. My husband and I are not keen on being in the limelight at all, but Simon kept everything low key and relaxed - he perfectly captured the essence of our day, our guests and us as a couple. Simon effortlessly got it all, and even during the brief 'staged' photos period (group shots and pictures of us together), we felt totally relaxed and comfortable. If you're looking for that 'fly on the wall' style experience, for someone to capture the day in its most natural and truest form, Simon is the photographer for you.

Genuine interesting photos, which I personally feel is quite rare in wedding photography!
“We cannot recommend Simon enough. Having a small, intimate wedding, we were cautious that having a formal photographer might spoil the atmosphere but Simon was extremely discrete, managing to capture it all without us hardly noticing he was there! We absolutely love our photos.

Simon has a true talent for capturing natural, subtle moments, with beautiful light, colour and context. Genuine interesting photos, which I personally feel is quite rare in wedding photography! “

He doesn't just take photos he records every beautiful moment in the most beautiful light!
Simon has literally captured the entire emotions of our entire wedding. He doesn't just take photos he records every beautiful moment in the most beautiful light! He was fantastic to have around on the day. He took charge when we needed him to but mostly we didn't notice him! He really has given us the most beautiful wedding gift with his stunning pictures and as you can tell myself, my husband and our family could not be more thrilled with the stunning moments he has immortalised for us

Amazing photos capturing our day perfectly

We’re both in awe of our wedding photographs. Whenever we take a look and show our friends and family, we are all taken back to the day. You can feel the energy, nervousness and excitement all through the photos. I’ve never been someone who likes to stand in front of a camera and pose for photos. So Simons style of journalistic photography worked perfectly for us. he blended into day and captured moments to cherish.

We have ended up with the most incredible photos
Choosing Simon as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We were drawn to his documentary style as neither of us are particular fans of posing for photos! On the day Simon really took his time to understand the venue and where he would look for us to have photos throughout the day. We have no idea how he did it, but he managed to be in all the right places at the right time and (in the best way possible) we didn't notice at all!

They're exactly what we wanted
We've looked at these SO MANY TIMES and I just can't tell you how happy we are with them. You've captured the mood, the colours and pretty much every single guest. They're exactly what we wanted - thank you so much. Everyone we've shown them to has praised them to the skies! We'll recommend you to everyone we know who's getting married Please could you also pass our thanks to Kathryn? It really shows how worth it it is to have two photographers because you captured lots of different angles so well

An expert in capturing memories!
We used Simon as our photographer both for our wedding ceremony during Covid lockdowns and 18 months later for a reception to celebrate. He even rushed to our ceremony at short notice when we were forced to rearrange due to a lockdown being announced! We chose Simon as we wanted someone who would not be intrusive or take forced/posed photos and this is exactly his approach. The end result was beautiful and we will treasure our photos forever. Simon is a master in capturing the atmosphere and emotions of the day in pictures and looking at our photos always brings back many happy memories.

Hello, I'm Simon When I'm not photographing weddings you can find me with a guitar or a good book in my hands. I love festivals, galleries and live gigs but I like to disappear in a crowd, as I'm a total introvert at heart. I live in Derbyshire with my wife and three children and take lots of photos, watch lots of movies, listen to lots of music and generally get lost in art and the process of creating (whatever that may be on any given day) I'd really love to create a jaw-dropping set of photos for your wedding - if you like what you see here please get in touch
