So pleased we chose Simon as our photographer

We were so pleased we chose Simon as our photographer. He was a really friendly and easy to get along with person. He felt like someone you wanted to spend your wedding day with! We were really pleased with our photos and album. He also went the extra mile to arrange a videographer as part of our package, which we were so grateful for as it’s amazing how much you forget when you’re a bag a nerves! The whole experience was easy, good quality and good value. We definitely would recommend him!

Simon captured our day brilliantly

We are so pleased that we asked Simon to capture our day, from the first phone call Simon was a pleasure to deal with. Simon gave us lots of tips and advice before and on the day, lots of our guests commented on how good Simon was with everyone and how he was always looking for a good photo opportunity. Simon didn't stop all day long. We really can't rate Simon enough and he captured our day brilliantly, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Simon.

The pictures are exactly what we wished for!

Simon did an amazing job capturing every part of our wedding day! I couldn't wish for anyone better! We met up a few weeks beforehand to go through things and did a pre wedding shoot. On the day itself he was prompt, remained very professional all day but also mixed in with our guests. And the result pictures are exactly what we wished for! Would recommend to anyone!

Honestly cannot recommend Simon enough

Honestly cannot recommend Simon enough. In the lead up to the day Simon was super organised, and managed to learn all the family names which my mum was very impressed with. When Simon arrived into the chaos that was pre-wedding getting ready he just went with it and still managed to get some stunning photos. Through the day he was brilliant at getting everyone organised and whisked us away for some beautiful lake side photos. So many of the guests have said how brilliant Simon was. Thank you so much!

We are absolutely in love with our pictures

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day! Simon took the time to meet us beforehand and was very experienced in talking us through the day, making sure we had covered every detail beforehand so that the day would run as smoothly as possible. He was an incredibly calm presence at our wedding while capturing everything we could have asked for and more! We are absolutely in love with our pictures and the overall experience on the day and cannot recommend Simon enough!

Perfectly captured the atmosphere of our day

Simon was a great photographer for our wedding. He was professional and friendly, managing to arrange groupings for photographs without disrupting the guests socialising. The formally arranged photographs are beautiful, but my favourites are the informal shots Simon managed to take of small groups and special moments between friends and family that perfectly captured the atmosphere of our special day. Thank you Simon x

His photos are beautiful, creative and unique.

Simon was photographer for our wedding in Windermere. Simon is wonderful, professional and enthusiastic. He was prepared and took the time to understand not only our personalities but to really capture the theme of the wedding and the smaller details which bring so many happy memories. His photos are beautiful, creative and unique. Thank you so much!
