“Simon is the most incredible wedding photographer! From when we first booked him until even after the wedding, he has been in constant touch and has provided the best service! From the moment Simon arrived on the wedding day everything was so discrete and easy and our photos have turned out incredible! Every single photo is absolutely stunning and we couldn’t be any happier! If you are getting married in the Lake District, choose Simon - you will not be disappointed! The perfect day! Thank you so much❤️”
“Simon photographed our wedding in November and captured the day beautifully, despite both me and my partner being a bit camera shy. He was extremely professional but also wonderfully warm and friendly, and we had many compliments from guests about how he put them at ease.”
“It was a pleasure to spend our special day with Simon. He is so professional and thoughtful. From the first meeting we knew we were in safe hands. We couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone who is looking for someone to take their pictures, and more importantly keep them calm on the day!”
“Simon was absolutely fantastic from when we first got in touch all the way through to receiving our wedding photos. He’s really friendly and made us feel very relaxed when having photos taken! Our family members and guests have all said how brilliant and natural our wedding photos are. Simon has captured the day perfectly and we couldn’t be happier!”
“Simon was enthusiastic, helpful and professional from the moment that we contacted him, throughout our planning and on the wedding day! He worked with us and was flexible with our timings on the day whilst putting the guests and ourselves at ease. Simon captured very natural moments and was never intrusive. We were extremely impressed with the whole service and of course the final images. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.”
“We were really happy with Simon. Neither of us are overly fond of having our picture taken and Simon helped us feel relaxed about the whole experience. Having the pre-wedding photos helped us know what to expect on our big day and we love the results of the day. Thank you Simon for capturing our day 💜”
“Simon was excellent. The photos of our wedding are truly amazing, better than we could have hoped for with the temperamental weather we had for the day. He was a true gentleman and went above and beyond in order to make our day extra special and provide us with memories which will be treasured for years to come. Simon, if you're reading this, thank you for everything. We could not have asked for a better photographer.”
“Simon is the most fantastic, talented photographer. It was an absolute pleasure having him shoot our special day. His photos are so unique and individual and his style suited us perfectly. On the day itself he was so very approachable and professional, able to accommodate our changing plans and organise the most wayward guests and spontaneous shots at a moment's notice. The photos he has captured go beyond anything we could have imagined. Our guests loved him, and so do we!”
“We are so pleased we picked Simon to do the photography for our wedding! We're thrilled with our photos, and all our friends and family have told us how great they look. Simon did a fantastic job of capturing the stunning views in the Lake District, which is exactly what we were looking for. Simon was friendly, flexible and very helpful and made the day run smoothly, even with some adverse weather. We would definitely recommend him for a wedding in the Lakes!”
“Simon was amazing throughout. His professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail were outstanding. He was nothing but smiles and passion on our wedding day and we cannot thank him enough for capturing those precious moments that we will treasure forever! Thank you so much Simon for our amazing wedding photography!”
“Simon put us at ease from our very first chat with him. We had a few emails and a call before the wedding and he was a warm calming presence on the day. We eloped and he kindly acted as a witness too. We had a lovely couple of hours shooting pics in a very relaxed non-posed style around Rydal and we are both so pleased with the quality of the pictures we have to remember our special day. I did lots of research around wedding photography and am so glad we found Simon. Thank you! 😊”
“Simon was fantastic from the initial first contact right through to the end of our wedding day and beyond! We will forever be thankful for the amazing images he captured of our big day. It was our hope that we would have a photographer that would be able to capture the spectacular views that the Lake District offers and that is exactly what we got from Simon. His organisation, eye for detail and professionalism were nothing short of fantastic. Thank you Simon for capturing our day perfectly.”
“Scott and I would like to say huge thank you for our photos, they all look amazing! We really appreciate your time and effort, and your patience with everyone on our wedding day. Many, many thanks again for everything, we will certainly recommend you to all our friends and family.”
“Simon was absolutely brilliant, from start to finish. I was really self-conscious before the wedding but Simon really listened to my concerns and helped me throughout the day. We really wanted our photos to help us look back at how bright and colourful the day was and our photos did not disappoint! Best in the business and looking forward to seeing you again at my sister-in-laws wedding. If our photos are anything to go by, her photos will be amazing too!”
“Simon is such a friendly person and is very good at what he does. It can be a daunting process when planning a wedding and Simon’s process from initial enquiry, online web portals and video calls made everything much easier for us. As for the photographs, Simon went above and beyond to capture our special day and we really appreciate all the hard work put in – the photographs are stunning, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We would 100% recommend Simon!! Thank you, Simon! You’re a star!”
“Me and my now husband Paul hired Simon for our wedding day and he was superb. Got all of the pictures we wanted and some we hadn't even thought of. His attention to detail was great and if you're getting married in the lake district his knowledge for the area will lead to some truly magnificent photos. His prior organisation and discretion on the day made him the perfect photographer for our big day. I can't recommend Simon enough.”
“Simon Hughes is the wedding photographer we cannot have done without! He is so much more than a photographer and he offered so much advice, many nuggets and ideas, things to avoid and to think about. And I haven't even started on the photographs, wow. They speak a thousand words, without those there would be so much lost. We really did love spending time with him, his work is incredible and we haven't disliked one thing. Thank you for everything!”
“Simon was absolutely brilliant on the big day, he made us feel so at ease and went out of his way to achieve the shots we were hoping for. All of Simon's photos captured the day perfectly from group photos to those natural moments you miss when the day goes by so quickly. Our absolute favourite photos have to be the ones taken at the lake, not only did Simon capture the scenery we love but also those moments between Bride and Groom when you are alone on your wedding day.”
“We booked Simon for our elopement and it was the best decision we ever made. He was incredible from start to finish. He recommended we added an extra hour onto the package to allow us time to travel to the lake and get some stunning photos, I honestly would tell anyone to do this as it really made the photos. He made both of us feel very calm and relaxed while taking photos and even sent us over a few snap shots the day after the wedding.”
“Simon was brilliant from start to finish. The process began with a great intro call running through ideas and specific photo opportunities at the venue, Silverholme Manor which Simon had worked a number of times. Always responded quickly to any questions we had before, on and after the big day. The pictures themselves and video of the ceremony have come out perfect, would highly recommend Simon!”
“Simon is friendly and a professional photographer. From the moment of inquiry to the delivery of the wedding album he went above and beyond. He made our perfect day even better with his advice and where to get amazing photos and he was even willing to drive us to Rydal Caves to get some stunning memories. We would 100% recommend Simon, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Simon!”
“From our initial contact we felt very comfortable and Simon answered all our queries very patiently. He captured the day perfectly, and we felt he understood what we wanted. Mike and I were very pleased with the communication we had from the start to the finished album. Thank you Simon for playing such an important part of our special day.”
“Thank you so much again for photographing our proposal. I'm over the moon with how the pictures turned out, we both are! It was a pleasure to have you there, we both loved your style of photography - right down to making us both feel so comfortable and at ease with the shoot, making sure our focuses were on each other, not you and having our pictures taken. Lois and her/my family absolutely love the photos, everybody is very impressed. Thank you again.”
“We can't recommend Simon enough, so friendly and professional. We have so many beautiful photos from the day. We would 100% work with him again for any future photoshoots!”
“Thank you Simon for all your advice and direction on our special day. You made us feel relaxed and provided a laid back atmosphere. You have given us memories we will cherish forever. We love our crystal USB. Very professional throughout.”
“Simon from start to finish was amazing and catered to our every need - it was a surprise photoshoot and was able to advise me on lots of nice places within the area - he was extremely kind and had the perfect plan to ensure the surprise wouldn't be foiled! We absolutely love our photos and will cherish them forever - Simon is an excellent photographer and I would recommend him for any occasion - thanks again Simon!”
“I’d give more than five stars if I could! Judging by the photos, Simon was everywhere and yet we barely noticed him. Anyone who has seen the photos has commented on the quality, the vibrancy, the colours, the variety and how perfect they are. In addition to unobtrusive and candid shots, our other main desire was to get a truly Cumbrian shot - one that was more about the scenery than us and boy did he deliver! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone.”
“We chose Simon to photograph our engagement. He went above and beyond, even agreeing to change the date and time to get the best weather. The photos turned out great too.”
“Simon was absolutely brilliant. We booked Simon for our wedding and although we had to make a change to our wedding date he was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and he was responsive with our queries. And on the day he put us at ease, ensuring we got the best pictures of our special day. Thank you Simon.”
