About

Unconventional unstaged & unobtrusive wedding photography for couples who don't follow the crowd.

Whether you're getting married in a cinema, art gallery, or your back garden; my photography is all about telling your unique story and recreating the atmosphere of your wedding day so you can relive it again and again.
I’m here to take offbeat, multi-layered photographs that come alive when you look at them and stand alone as great pieces of art. From the electricity of the morning preparations to the energy of the wedding dancefloor and all the beats inbetween.

If you like your wedding photography unobtrusive, relaxed and a bit offbeat have a look around here and my website. I've currently got limited availability for 2025 and am booking for 2026 - so please get in touch early to secure your date.

"Photos which tell story after story at every turn.... Simon's photography can only be described as something very special."

"Genuine interesting photos, which I personally feel is quite rare in wedding photography!"

RELAXED COUPLE PORTRAITS

As well as all the real stories and moments you’ll often want to steal away for some couple portraits (totally optional!).

I’m not usually one for stage managing and complicated lighting set-ups - I want to create portraits that reflect the real you and your relationship, not ones that win awards for their technical brilliance.

This means we’ll just go for a walk, find some nice light and have some quiet time before getting you back to the party & your guests.
