emotion over aesthetic. Every time.
authentic wedding photography that feels like you
WORKING ACROSS UK/EUROPE, BASED IN HAMPSHIRE AND LONDON
You’ve been planning this day for months. The venue’s booked, the flowers are sorted, you’ve finally agreed on that first dance song. The last thing you need is a photographer making you feel like you’re in a photoshoot.
That’s where I come in.
I work quietly while you live your day - capturing the laughter you can’t fake, your mum getting emotional during the ceremony, that moment your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, your dad’s speech that has everyone reaching for tissues.
The real stuff. The moments that make your day yours.
My couples tell me they barely noticed I was there. Then they see their photos and feel everything all over again.
Authentic. Emotive. Effortless.
Zero fake smiles required.

Hi, I’m Simon.
Based in Hampshire and London, photographing weddings across the UK and Europe since 2021. Five consecutive Hitched Awards. Nearly 60 five-star reviews. And I still love the hell out of this job.
Why? Because capturing the moments you’ll treasure forever - the ones that show not just how your day looked, but how it felt - never gets old.
Look, most people hate having their photo taken. You’re probably one of them. That’s completely fine - most of my couples feel the same way. But here’s what they tell me afterwards: they forgot I was even there. Because I’m not the photographer making you pose for an hour while your guests wonder where you’ve gone. The time we spend together isn't a shoot; it's your chance to finally exhale, take some time away from the reception to be together, with me there quietly.
The rest of the time, I’m the one capturing you being you - laughing with your mates, dancing with your partner, living your day.
The photos happen around that, not instead of it.
The friend with the camera you didn't know you needed.
When your gran tears up during the ceremony, I'm capturing that - even if the light's not perfect. When you and your partner share a private laugh during speeches, I'm there - even if it's not the ‘best’ angle.
Emotion over aesthetic. Always.
I work unobtrusively for most of your day, then we take 30 minutes for portraits. But here's the thing: I'll never make you hold a pose while a beautiful moment passes by. That's not a trade I'm willing to make.
Authentic. Emotive. Effortless.
No stiff line-ups. No awkward hovering. No fake moments. Just you, your people, your day - captured exactly as it unfolded.
Who this is for: Relaxed, unpretentious couples who want their photos to feel genuine - not like they've been styled within an inch of their lives.
Who this isn't for: Couples wanting highly posed, fine art photography with extensive direction. That's brilliant work - it's just not what I do.
“Simon captured photos radiant with personality and created images that manage to visualise pure and honest connections between people.
We have never had photos that so truly represent genuine feelings before, but Simon’s do exactly this.”
