“Simon’s technical skill coupled with his ability to put you at ease with his humour and relaxed nature guarantees he captures your wedding not as a hired professional but from inside your day as a friend might. If that friend was an award winning photographer.”

Hi, I'm Simon, based in Bideford- Devon, I'm married and have 2 daughters. I create authentic images for weddings across the South West and beyond. I love wedding photography and it will show not only in the final product but throughout your day; one of the most common features in reviews and comments is how much not only couples but guests loved my involvement and interaction in their day. That's a really important part of my service, I won't just be your photographer, I'll be guiding you through the day and will be focused on giving your guests an amazing experience.

I have the best job in the world.

As both an extrovert and a creative, I consider photography as my language. I'm energised by the people I work with - I love getting to know you, your family and friends and capturing moments that are meaningful to you. My goal when you work with me is to help you feel confident and comfortable in front of my camera.

Everyone deserves to have beautiful photos taken of themselves and genuinely enjoy the experience.

l'd describe my photography as creative, candid, and fun. I develop an enjoyable and relaxed environment by providing a mix of prompts and poses unique to each client.

My editing is enhanced-true-to-colour. I want to elevate, not alter the colours you've selected for your wedding day.

My most comprehensive package features full-day coverage (I often stays until 11:00pm) with documentary and traditional-style photography; all images are developed in both timeless colour and classic black and white and delivered on a USB as well as an online gallery. Packages range from £800-£1500 plus as I've had the pleasure of photographing some truly original weddings (e.g. whole weekend festival style when I've stayed the night, multi-day Indian weddings and tiny elopement style weddings with just two guests), I therefore offer a bespoke service in order that I can provide you the very best coverage of your wedding. If you've got a particular budget in mind- I can quickly tell you what I can do for you.

I will be bringing my 360 camera, Go-Pro and drone to your wedding*. We can use the fun cameras to record your ceremony from the registrar's table, attach it to the groom, put it on your dog's collar, stick it on a selfie stick, ask a flower girl or pageboy to go around interviewing your guests and even strap it to a bottle of whisky in the evening and have it passed around. What ideas have you got?

I will use the drone to take stunning videos to contextualise your wedding. Perhaps starting off looking at the two of you before flying up and off over fields or the sea (or photographs of the two of you dancing from above). I'm excited and inspired by the possibilities of this new tech.

*platinum and titanium service, weather permitting.
