Memories to look back on for the rest of our life

If you're looking for someone to take natural, beautiful photos of your big day, look no further. Simon was able to capture every moment of our big day and somehow remain pretty much invisible. Memories to look back on for the rest of our life due to the wonderful work he did. Couldn't speak more highly of him.

Beautiful, natural photos

Where do we start?! Simon was so relaxed and unflappable. As plenty of people surely say, neither of us love having our photo taken, but Simon has a calming approach and doesn’t demand anything of you that you don’t want or aren’t comfortable with. We have beautiful, natural photos that captured the day just as it unfolded.

Exceptional photographs

We knew what we wanted from a photographer and Simon delivered far beyond our expectations. The excitement and happiness of the day was captured perfectly. Be it a photo from the church or an action shot of the dance floor, every photo beams with style and emotion. We could not be happier. On top of that Simon is an awesome guy and it was a pleasure to have him be a part of the day. Thank you Simon!

We love every single one of them

I could not recommend Simon enough as a wedding photographer. As people who aren’t really photogenic, the photos from our wedding have come out perfectly, and captured the day and the mood exactly as it was. We love every single one of them and how unique and true to us and our day they are. Having spoken to guests, the overarching theme was that nobody noticed Simon was even there and the photos really reflect that

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! ...We have ended up with the most incredible wedding photos, they have caputred all emotions of the day and when we look at them we are transported back to exactly how we felt.

Absolutely brimming with love and joy

We are SO pleased we chose Simon to document our wedding ceremony. we had an unusual venue and wedding, and wanted images that not only showed what the day looked like, but what the day felt like. Simon absolutely smashed the brief out of the park. not only are his images incredibly beautiful, but they are absolutely brimming with love and joy. his eye for light and and perspective has produced some truly gorgeous pictures that we are going to love forever!

We are so obsessed with the photos

Simon is a very talented photographer. I'm so happy we chose him. He took amazing photos and managed to capture all the beautiful and important moments of our wedding. We are so obsessed with the photos and the quality is really good too. If you're looking for a super photographer for your wedding, Simon is the perfect man for the job. I highly recommend him.

Good memories from our day

Simon was with us for the whole day, including my bridezilla moments in the morning. He has captured some special times throughout the day not just of us but of our wonderful bridal party & guests. Only reason we have not given a 5 star review is because some shots are slightly out of focus (not many) and we would have liked a few more formal shots

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 e

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!

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

A wedding at Odda's Chapel on a rainy october day - the whole country was absolubtley flooded - but the photos drip with atmosphere and emotion.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Unstaged, Unconventional, Emotive, Scuzzy, Artistic

What about your business are you most proud of?

Making it my own thing - I don't think anyone else really makes photos the same way I do. And although I often feel like I'm out on a limb it's those individual things that keep my work so interesting.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Leave baggy time - time to just be yourselves and enjoy the moments. It all goes so fast.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I love to spend time getting to know people and their stories before the wedding. I don't think questionnares and forms are good for learning about people and their love and their families.... I like to get stuck in and find out the deeper stuff wherever possible. (Photojournalism should be mainly about listening and observing). After that, on the day, I'll be as hands off as possible and let the day flow and be what it is. And in the end we end up with amazing artistic photos that convey how it felt to actually be there and live the moment. Sound like a plan?

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

I really don't think this exists. The best photos are always unplanned suprises.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

That's really not how we roll (see above?)

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Loving it. We can still get great shots (window light, doorways etc...) - but above all just enjoy the time with guests, have a great day and try not to slip over.

Describe how you got into photography.

By accident.
