Simon photographed our wedding and we're so happy with the results. Working with Simon was fantastic from start to finish. He was incredibly organised and met with us before the event to talk through timelines and any specific shots we wanted. He had great suggestions specific to our venue and helped us feel very prepared. On the day, he got all the set shots we needed as well as lovely candid photos of so many of our guests. We're so happy with our photos and they've been so easy to share with people after the event. We would highly recommend Simon. More...

Thank you Simon for capturing such amazing photographs of our big day. You really managed to get some outstanding photos for us and we haven't stopped admiring them since. Everyone commented on just how lovely you were and how you work so hard all through the day ensuring not a second was missed. You were such a huge help in the planning of our day too and we were so pleased we booked you. Invaluable service you provided and such a lovely guy to be around. Thank you again 🫶🏻 More...

Simon delivered fabulous portrait photos for me. He took great care getting everything set up so I felt comfortable and settled and then offered me great options for lighting and posture. I really couldn't fault the experience or the final product! I will be using on my new book. Highly recommended... More...

We couldn’t be happier with Simon as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We had a couple of meetings with Simon before the wedding, where he really took the time to listen to what we wanted and helped put us completely at ease. On the day itself, Simon was exceptionally organised and guided us calmly and confidently from one session to the next, which made everything feel effortless and stress-free. He had some really creative and artistic ideas, and any obstacles that came up were handled in a calm, professional manner without fuss. During the day he showed us some of the photos straight from his camera, and even then we knew we were in safe hands. Now that we’ve seen the full set of photos, we’re more than impressed. The results are absolutely incredible. We’d highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and genuinely talented photographer. More...

Simon did a lovely job with some photos of my daughter for a present. The session was friendly and fun, he was very helpful. We got lots of great photos. And Simon was very efficient in the post-session production of short list/high quality photos. Overall: very pleased, and would highly recommend. More...

Simon was an absolute delight from the moment we first met him. From our very first conversation, it was clear that we were going to get along, and he did a fantastic job capturing our wedding. Blending in effortlessly with our guests, Simon photographed all the fun, emotional, and most importantly, natural moments of our day. When we received the email saying our photos were ready, his incredible work let us relive every special moment all over again. Thank you so much, Simon, for everything - anyone would be lucky to have you as their photographer! More...

An amazing photographer, and a wonderful person. Communication was brilliant, excellent organisation. His services all came at a brilliant price with everything we wanted fairly included. He knew our venue well already, and he was able to make the most of a incredibly intensely sunny day, and made sure we took some stunning sunset photos. He also did a brilliant job capturing all the small details, the little things that we may forget down the line. His presence at the wedding was hardly noticed, which is exactly what we wanted, we wanted a photographer who felt like one of the guests and that's exactly what Simon was, but for the portraits he gave clear and easy to follow instructions when needed. A wonderful man and we can't recommend him enough. More...

As someone who was initially dreading having to do a studio portrait business photo shoot(!), Simon's gift of putting me at ease with his expertise and personality turned my whole session into a fun and amazing experience! His creative eye for detail, lighting and 'flattering' angles was incredible - there were so many fantastic final images to choose from that it made it difficult to pick out the best! I would definitely recommend Simon to others and choose him again for any future photo shoots, whether in the studio or at a location. Thank you Simon. More...

Just wanted to say a great big thank you Simon. 🙏😁 You are an absolute Superstar! We are bowled over by all the stunning photos. They are superb! Simon is such a wonderful, lovely, kind & professional person. He worked so hard, throughout the day & evening, to get all the amazing photos he produced, but so unobtrusively! Simon really captured the feel of our wonderful and happy wedding day, I can't stop smiling when looking through all the fabulous photos. They bring the day back so vividly. There are also some real Wowsers there; which completely took our breath away when we saw them. We sent the photo link to our family and friends. Oh my, the amazing comments from everyone. The candid shots of family & friends are beautiful moments captured in time, and will be truly treasured. Every wedding should have Simon Booth as their photographer. You would never be disappointed. Simon, thank you so much, it's been a joy and a privilege, the photo book you have produced is absolutely superb, just perfect. You are a true genius! Anne & Gary x More...

Simon was incredible from start to finish. His attention to detail and the way he explained how the day would work made everything so much easier. We felt so comfortable talking about what we wanted but also relying on his experience and expertise. During the day all of the guests commented how he captured photos respectfully and they didn’t even realise he was there. And now looking through them, we are blown away by the quality of the angles, backgrounds, colour etc. We could not recommend Simon highly enough, thank you for capturing our special day brilliantly.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Simon as a talented photographer and thoroughly decent human being. He is attentive and encouraging and managed to get me to relax and actually enjoy my shoot. The headshots were for my private practice website /online listings and Simon was committed to ensuring that I was happy with every single photo I selected. There were so many lovely photos I had to get help from my family to help me choose! Thank you Simon for such a fantastic experience. I will definitely be back with my girls (and possibly my dogs!)

I don’t even know where to begin with this review as Simon was excellent in every way and a real privilege to have as our wedding photographer. He is so calm and understanding and listened to our ideas as well as suggesting other options we hadn’t even thought about. The photos he took were so special, capturing so many candid moments of laughter, happiness, deep thoughts and conversations. My father in law was terminally ill at the wedding and I’m truly grateful for the care and attention Simon gave us, giving us some beautiful photos which unfortunately were my father in laws last pictures. I highly recommend Simon. THANK YOU More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
It depends on the type of image, some images its all about timing, and this is partly instinct and partly experience, whereas others require really high levels of technical skill, and understanding classic composition. But most great photography uses a combination of these two things.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What would you like the final result to look like? Are there any images you really love that you want your final image to have the same look/ style / feel? What is the most important thing I need to achieve? What are you comfortable with? What are you not comfortable with?
What do you love most about your job?
I always love meeting new people, and see it as a great privilege to photograph someone. Seeing a client really happy with the images I produce is always extremely satisfying, since I love producing strong, beautiful images, and I think everyone deserves to have beautiful images of themselves too.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ive always enjoyed working for myself, and Ive always loved photography.
Why should our clients choose you?
I offer a very high level of photography, my clients are always extremely happy with the results of my work, and I am consistently given 5 star reviews on Google. Im very friendly and relaxed, and easy to work with, totally open to ideas, if a client wants something specific, Im happy to do it, and my prices are extremely competitive.

A bespoke Wedding Photography service, tailored to what the couple wants, with competitive and flexible pricing - just pay for the hours you need.

This is up to one hour, during which time a range of different shots can be taken, so if you wanted to do two or three different looks, thats absolutely fine.
