  We hired Simon for our wedding day and he was superb! He had a very calm and friendly manor about him on the day which put me at complete ease. We got married at the lakes and it rained all day, yet he managed to take some incredibly stunning photographs to capture the day.

  Amazing photographer

  Wow! What can I say! From the moment we booked Simon, he was amazing! Responsive, friendly and professional! He offered us some pre-wedding photos and included our dog! They turned out amazingly! He made us feel at ease and comfortable whilst having our photos taken! We have just gotten our wedding photos back after just 4 weeks! They look unreal! We absolutely adore them! Thank you so much Simon! ❤️

  Fantastic photographer and a calming presence on our big day

  We spoke and met with Simon a few times before our wedding day, and from those interactions his passion for photography was very clear. He has a great attention to detail, which was shown through at the planning meeting and continued through to our wedding day. His experience of weddings in the lakes and in particular at our venue helped him produce some truly breathtaking photos and in turn guided us seamlessly, fulfilling all the photos we could have wanted on a strict timeline. He was also a calming presence on our day, helping us to feel relaxed and at ease throughout the entire day.

  Thank you so much Alex! I loved every minute of capturing your special day for you - from your ceremony entrance to the group photos with the alpacas, our trip to the lake, the sparklers to start the evening, the dance floor photobombs and finally your night portraits! ❤️

  Exceptional

  Me and my now husband got married on the 26th March 24, a few days before the wedding Simon arranged a call with us asking is there was anything specific that we wants to get photographed through the time he was there which I thought was amazing, nice to have a plan in place. On the day he was punctual and was very kind and professional, he required no directing just got on with what we had agreed and made everything so easy, when it came to the ceremony and the after pictures he was amazing at getting candid pictures of everyone having a good time and got all the important parts as well as the more silly ones. When we went round the grounds he was happy to take suggestions of good shots and made everything so easy and fun!! Overall he was definitely the perfect photographer and was so nice, polite and professional!! Thank you so much Simon, your pictures really captured the fun we had on our wedding day!!

  Lake District Wedding 12.12.23

  Wow!
  So pleased we choose Simon to capture our intimate wedding held at the Cragwood Country House Hotel, what a magical day.
  
  From the very beginning Simon was accommodating in every way. Simon listened carefully to our wishes and helped us in aspects of the big day that we were a little unsure about answering all of our questions quickly and professionally. His advice & guidance of course was spot on.
  
  Regular contact was made at the intervals that was set out in our initial consultation and Simon was happy to help on the questions that ultimately arise when the planning was firmly in motion and full steam ahead.
  
  Come the day, Simon immediately made us all feel at ease, friendly and caring he felt like part of the family fitting in perfectly and I'm not kidding!
  
  Simons attention to detail is second to none and went above and beyond to capture the perfect pictures in an unobtrusive style, which we have to say was not easy given the typical Lake District weather in December, quite honestly nothing was a problem and we took it all in our stride with smiles and laughter for the whole day. Which sums up the day perfectly, smiles and laughter!
  
  We chose to take an album from Simon, choosing 50 pictures, not an easy thing to do as all the pictures are fabulous. The style of this was a true likeness to how the day unfolded. Simon was able to send us a proof to check everything over, we made some amendments again not a problem at all and et voilà one wedding album produced & delivered seamlessly and best of all its beautiful.
  
  We chose to take the additional option of a videographer; Sam to make sure that we would never forgot the ceremony, at the beginning you may think nope I don't want or need that but trust me the day goes by so quickly there will be parts that you forget. It was fabulous to watch the video on return from our honeymoon, again we sat and smiled throughout watching our ceremony all over again like a couple of kids! If you take this option its hassle free and so we'll worth the little extra. Simon will coordinate and arrange everything with Sam.
  
  We whole heartily recommend Simon and Sam. Don't think about it, give him a call, you will not be disappointed.

  Wow Dawn, I'm blushing, thank you so much! You thought so carefully about every aspect of the day, so it's no surprise that it was fabulous and uniquely yours - I've never seen a first dance during the ceremony before! Sam and I had such a wonderful time working with you all, so it was a real privilege to capture your special day for you. Many, many thanks for the opportunity! ❤️

  Timeless photos

  We are absolutely thrilled with our pictures from our January elopement wedding at Cragwood House in the Lake District. We chose Simon as his photos look timeless and he offered an elopement package. He knows the venue extremely well and gave us some useful tips prior to the day. Within the 2-hour package we got a huge range of photos and we are especially pleased with the scenic pictures we had outside. We felt totally comfortable with Simon and he put us both at ease. We certainly recommend Simon for a Lake District Wedding!

  Lovely, professional and patient

  Simon shot our wedding on a freezing cold day at the Lake District.
  
  Despite the below freezing temperatures, he was more than up for shooting our pictures on the lakes.
  
  He had the patience of a saint with my husband and I as we are terrible in front of a camera.
  Our pictures are phenomenal and really captured all the memories of our special day.
  
  Thank you Simon!

  🤩 Fantastic, would highly recommend 🤩

  Simon was professional from start to finish. He had worked at our venue before so was able to offer great ideas for wedding shots. He arrived looking very smart in a suit. I don't like being photographed but he made me and my hubby feel at ease. He listened to what we wanted and was very approachable.
  
  Thank you Simon for capturing our special day so beautifully.
