KIND WORDS
Hearing positive feedback from the wonderful couples I’ve photographed over the years is music to my ears. I’m super proud that I have a clean sweep of 5 star reviews on Google and Facebook.
I want my photos to warm your hearts, make happy tears roll down your faces, make you laugh out loud at the fun antics and to be cherished for a lifetime. As the years go by, photos of you and your loved ones become more precious and are like mini time machines taking you back to good times. It’s why I always go the extra mile to make sure that all my clients love the photos I capture.
Check out what a handful of my couples have said about their experience with me.
“Sounds cliché, but spending time with Simon didn’t feel like hanging out with a stranger, it felt like we’d known him for a long time.”
Mary-Helen + Matt | Pennard Hill Farm, Somerset
“ALL OUR GUESTS COMPLIMENTED HOW EASILY SIMON FELL INTO THE BACKGROUND OF THE DAY, KEEPING EVERYONE AT EASE WHICH RESULTED IN FANTASTIC SHOTS OF US, OUR GUESTS AND OUR DAY.”
“We found Simon at a wedding fair in North Bristol and we are so so so glad we did. As two people who aren’t particularly the most showy and don’t love being the centre of attention, we felt so comfortable with Simon that we got fantastic photos with no awkward smiles!
We wanted to have a cosy, less formal wedding and we found the perfect place to do this – The Alma Tavern in Clifton. We wanted our photos to follow suit that showed the playful and fun side of the day rather than a billion formal photos that took us away from the brilliant day we had planned for ourselves and our loved ones.
As part of the package, we got an engagement shoot with Simon which we went to Stoke Park Estate for, and this really helped us imagine what it would be like when it came to the actual day. We felt so much more relaxed after this, as well as getting some more great photos to share with our friends and family.
As well as of course capturing all the moments we didn’t want to miss, Simon also stepped up with helping us bring those moments together. Some of our favourite shots included the first look with the Father of the Bride and our confetti shots which were all organised by Simon taking some stress of our shoulders (Which I promise you’ll appreciate more than you can imagine on your day).
As our venue didn’t have a great spot for formal photos, he went to the church down the road and managed to get the use of their space to shoot our group shots in and it was perfect.
So, all in all from the engagement shoot, to him getting our photos to us in fantastic time we couldn’t recommend Simon enough. A fantastic photographer, good fun and conversation, and a crucial part of remembering the best day of our lives!”
Abi + Joe | Alma Tavern, Bristol
“SIMON CAPTURED THE FEELING OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS PERFECTLY!”
“Simon was recommended to us shortly after we got engaged and we are so happy with the experience we had! The final pictures just make us want to relive our special day over and over again – everything was just right. Huge thank you from us and our families for being so accommodating.”
Lowri + Ajay | The Matara Centre, Cotswolds
“WE’RE SO HAPPY WITH OUR PHOTOS – SIMON CAPTURED THE ATMOSPHERE AND STYLE OF OUR WEDDING PERFECTLY. FOUR MONTHS LATER AND WE’RE ALL STILL LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS ALMOST EVERY DAY!”
“We first met Simon at a wedding fair and loved his fresh and colourful style. After comparing Simon’s photos and prices to other photographers, we knew he was the right person to capture our wedding day!
Vicky + Tom | Coombe Lodge, Somerset
“SEVERAL OF OUR GUESTS COMMENTED ON HOW FRIENDLY HE WAS AND HOW THEY BARELY NOTICED WHEN HE WAS TAKING PICTURES; HOW HE MANAGED TO CAPTURE THE DAY SO WONDERFULLY AND CHAT TO GUESTS WHILST ALSO SOMETIMES GOING UNNOTICED IS A REAL SKILL!”
Flo + Dan | Leyford Farm, Gloucestershire
“WE TOOK SOME TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL THE PHOTOS YESTERDAY EVENING WITH OUR FAMILY AND WE HONESTLY CAN’T EXPRESS HOW AMAZING THEY ARE.”
Megan + Damian | Eastwood Park, Gloucestershire
“On the big day itself, Simon was not only a talented photographer but a calming presence who managed to catch every special moment without ever feeling intrusive.”
“We honestly cannot thank Simon enough for everything he’s done for us. From the pre-wedding shoot to capturing the magic of our wedding day, he was absolutely incredible. The pre-wedding shoot was such a brilliant experience; he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, and it truly set the tone for what was to come.
The way Simon captured each detail, each emotion, and every little glance between us and our loved ones was just wonderful. Looking through the photos brings back all the joy and excitement we felt on the day, and we will genuinely cherish our images forever.
Kate + Liam | Great Tythe Barn, Cotswold
“SIMON IS THE PERFECT BALANCE OF LAIDBACK AND PROFESSIONAL. YOU BARELY REALISE HE’S THERE, AND WHEN YOU DO, HE’S A COMPLETE JOY!”
“Somehow, without an ounce of stress or bossiness, he made sure we got all of the group shots we’d requested and more!
He was great with the kids and got gorgeous smiley photos of all of the little ones we had in attendance. I also can’t go without mentioning what an excellent sport he was with me and my wild, bossy and Prosecco-fuelled bridesmaids.
Now for the most important bit… our gallery. We are completely blown away. Every photo is so beautiful (the golden hour ones are especially *chefs kiss*), and miraculously we have stunning candid shots of all of our 150 guests?!
Everyone has said what a great job he’s done at capturing the relaxed, fun and happy vibe of our day.
You think you can only live your big day once, but it turns out with the right photographer (that’s Simon!) , you can truly relive it a million times, plus all the bits you missed.”
Harriet + Freddie | Bickley Barns, Bristol
“WE WERE BOTH NERVOUS ABOUT BEING THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION ON THE BIG DAY BUT HE SUCCEEDED IN MAKING EVERYONE FEEL COMFORTABLE AND RELAXED, WHICH GAVE US THE AUTHENTIC SHOTS WE WERE AFTER.”
“Simon was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! He took the time to really understand what we were looking for with the photos and used his experience to deliver that by always being in the right place at the right time.
Needless to say we were very excited to see the results and they did not disappoint! He has managed to capture the beauty of the venue, the spirit of the day and so many wonderful candid moments that we had missed. The only tricky part is figuring out which ones to get framed!“
Rachel + Iain | Folly Farm, Somerset
“The quality and quantity of photos we received have really blown us away, and he perfectly captured the various stages of our wedding across a traditional church and modern venue, really showing an impressive breadth of skills.”
Jess + George | St Mary Redcliffe + Paintworks, Bristol
“WE BARELY NOTICED SIMON SNAPPING AWAY DURING OUR TIGHTLY PACKED AND INTIMATE CEREMONY. HIS PHOTOS LOOKING DOWN THE AISLE AND THROUGHOUT OUR SERVICE HAVE HAD US BOTH IN TEARS.”
Jordan + James | Wick Farm, Bath
“A top rate professional and a lovely man to boot, strongly recommend!”
Hannah + Harri| Woodhouse Barn, Pembrokeshire
“FROM START TO FINISH, WE WERE SO GLAD THAT WE CHOSE SIMON TO PHOTOGRAPH OUR WEDDING DAY. HE’S A GENUINELY LOVELY GUY WHO WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE SO MANY SPECIAL MOMENTS, MOST OF THE TIME WITHOUT US EVEN REALISING HE WAS THERE!”
“We both felt awkward about having our photograph taken but Simon was able to put us at ease. Simon’s candid and laid-back style captured the life and atmosphere of the day perfectly. His preparation and professionalism helped the day to run smoothly. We will cherish the photos for many years to come. Thank you Simon.“
