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! “

The quality and creativity of the photos are outstanding
Simon is absolutely brilliant. We loved the photos he took, especially the candid ones, which helps us relive the day. He is very creative and will capture the real moments that matter the most. Simon makes you feel comfortable and relaxed during what is easily a stressful time. He was very organized and respectful throughout the entire process. The quality and creativity of the photos are outstanding. We couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully Love, Lavinia & Valmik

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!

Photos which tell story after story
Simon captured our day to perfection and we were left with more than just photos. We were left with the moments, movements and emotions from the day that were wrapped up in the most gorgeous photos - photos which tell story after story at every turn. Every time I look at our pictures (which is a lot!) I see something that I didn't see before. Simon's photography can only be described as something very special

Amazing Photographer
Couldn’t of been more happy with Simon! So professional, friendly and worked his socks off to make our wedding photos as good as can be. He really captured the day as it went by which when looking back at the photos really makes the day come alive again.

Highly personal, beautiful photos
We hired Simon on the basis of his portfolio of natural, non-staged photos that seemed to capture genuine moments of emotion throughout the day. He delivered just this! Simon is quiet, unobtrusive and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. He is not one for loudly staging large groups of people together, but rather discretely capturing the special moments of your day perfectly. If there are particular sets of photos you want, Simon will ensure these are covered. This aside, you can certainly put your trust in him to do what he does best - take highly personal, beautiful photos. Excellent service from beginning (including meeting for a walk around the venue) to the end (sending us a small set of complementary prints and chocolates). Highly recommended, thank you again Simon!

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
