“Simon went above and beyond our expectations as a wedding photographer. He was a great addition to our day and made us feel relaxed so that the process was as fun as possible. The outcome of the photos and the album is incredible. We are so happy that we can look back on our day with the beautiful photos that Simon took and edited.”

“Simon made both myself and my wife (!!) feel very at ease on our wedding day. He was great at directing two people who are uncomfortable (or incapable!) in front of a camera. Thank you very much Simon for capturing our special day. 10/10 would recommend.”

“From the very beginning [Simon] was very professional. He was very knowledgeable and made things very easy for us. You could tell he was very experienced at what he does. The online wedding album was brilliant and our photo book wedding album that he made for us was absolutely gorgeous. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again for another occasion and highly recommend him for anyone wanting a top quality and professional service. Thanks Simon!”

“Simon made our day a breeze, super organized and professional! Even though we were planning from the other side of the world he went above and beyond. And the photos, WOW, beautifully edited and really capturing the day exactly how we remember it. Highly recommend 👌”

“We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos that Simon captured. He made the whole process feel very easy. He knew exactly where all the best spots were at the hotel and also down by the lake. He made everyone feel at ease (myself included!) and just slotted into our day offering helpful advice and tips to get the best photos and keep us on track. Thank you so much Simon, we love our photos!”

“Simon beautifully captured our wedding at Cragwood Country House. We couldn’t be happier with the whole process. He knew our venue very well and all the best spots for our couples’ portraits and made us feel completely at ease. Our photographs are just stunning, and I highly recommend Simon to any couple getting married in and around the Lake District. Thank you so much!!”

“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! ❤️”

“We hired Simon for our wedding day and he was superb! He had a very calm and friendly manner 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.”

“Simon gave us lovely photos of our wedding day. Like many others we are not used to being photographed, and even though it was a ‘just the two’ wedding he made us feel at ease, it was great to have him as our photographer! Would recommend, thanks Simon :)”

“We would highly recommend Simon to photograph your special day! Simon was with us the whole day and was an integral part of how smooth and joyous the day was. Simon was so calm, patient, and warm and it made me (somewhat introverted) so relaxed on the day. The photos turned out beautifully (despite some rain) and have a lovely mixture of posed and candid.”

“Simon made everything so easy, 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. 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!!”

“Simon was extremely friendly and accommodating to our needs, well presented on our wedding day and professional throughout. Our photos are truly amazing and we can't thank simon enough for all his hard work and effort. We thank you so much for being part of making our day special. You have a wonderful skillset for photography and captured every special moment and more.”

“We booked Simon as he was recommended by the hotel and he did not disappoint. On the day, Simon was fab, I was worried about lots of time being taken up with posed photos and opted for just a few and then candid photos. We received some “taster” photos a couple of weeks after the wedding and after seeing them I couldn’t wait to see the rest!! We have them [all] now and I am over the moon, he captured the wedding exactly how we discussed. Thanks Simon, you captured the day perfectly!”

“We spoke and met with Simon a few times before our wedding day and his passion for photography was very clear. 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.”

“I would not hesitate to recommend Simon to any couple getting married in the Lake District. He is professional, calm and polite. We have received compliments that our wedding photographs look like a magazine editorial, and I cannot give higher praise than that! I do not think our wedding would have gone so smoothly without him. Many of our guests have commented on how good he was at making them feel at ease. Thank You so much Simon, you made our wedding day so special!”

“We highly recommend Simon for anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Lake District. He captured our elopement wedding perfectly and made us feel so at ease. He knew our chosen venue really well and knew all the locations to get some fantastic photos. He communicated really well from the moment we registered interest. Very impressed and pleased. Thank you Simon.”

Bride and groom at Ashness Bridge in Lake District

“We had Simon do our wedding photography in January and we genuinely could not have asked for anyone better! My Husband and I absolutely hate having our photo taken and we were so nervous for our pictures, but Simon helped put us at ease and made the day such a wonderful experience! Our photos have come out wonderfully and have been a hit with absolutely everyone.”

“We are absolutely thrilled with our pictures from our January elopement wedding. 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!”
