Simon did our wedding in July, and we couldn't be happier with him. He was so easy to work with and felt so comfortable with him being around throughout the day.

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...

My son needed photographs for his acting agency and not having had any experience of this before, I didn't really know where to start. From the get go Simon put our minds at rest and made the whole experience delightful. He was amazing with my teenage son, took some incredible shots and boosted my son's confidence and the final photographs were stunning.

In addition to that, the excellent services you offered were very reasonable, and we will not hesitate to recommend you to others. Each and every photograph takes us back to a very special memory of our wedding day your photographs are going to be our memories forever. We also loved the presentation of the photographs after in whe wooden engraved USB box and wooden USB stick. You also have the ability to interpret our vision in a way that was non-intrusive and natural too. We really can't thankyou enough! Thankyou. More...

Simon is full of good advice, and his professional experience as a wedding photographer really helped us to plan our day. I can't imagine a better service. What's more, beautiful photos, he has a unique style and range of equipment that made the most of every part of the day. We were delighted at how quickly we received our edited photos - I've known couples wait months, and Simon got them to us in a few weeks. Thank you Simon!!! More...

We would not hesitate to to recommend Simon, and are so glad we chose him to photograph our daughter and son in laws wedding in October. From our first meeting at the venue we could tell that Simon loves his work and is full of enthusiasm. As we walked around the venue he listened to our thoughts and ideas and also made suggestions of his own and we were not disappointed. The photographs were amazing and captured every emotion. Simon worked so hard all day and well into the evening and was so nonintrusive we did not even know some of the pictures were being taken, such a lovely surprise when we received them back.

We can't talk highly enough of, or recommend Simon highly enough for making our wedding day so special. Simon was fantastic to us from the moment we met at Durbar Hall to discuss what was wanted on our big day, which we were completely unsure about, right up to the minute he left us at the end of our day. Simon's knowledge of Hastings made us achieve the most perfect day and photos. He was able to advise us on a lovely local pub for our guests to go to whilst he whisked us off for photos on the sunset beach, which were just amazing and that was in November, so not a lovely summer's day. Simon put us and our guests at ease throughout the day whilst he took photos. Everyone saw Simon as part of the family, he just blended in with us all, so no stiff posing for photos! We even had poor Simon on his knee's taking photos of my red wedding shoes on the beach LOL! Nothing was ever a problem and we loved the fact he is artistic and loves thinking outside the box for photos. Simon was able to give me a contact for wedding make up and hair on the day too. Grace Benson was excellent and again highly recommended. Simon achieved a beautiful photographic story of our wedding, which will definitely keep the memories of our special day vivid and alive for the rest of our lives. We are so happy with Simon, we are going to come back to Hastings for our first anniversary so that he can create the next chapter in our photographic story for us. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, we really can't thank you enough. A very special photographer with a real passion for his work and achieving the most special day for you and your guest's. More...

Simon is absolutely fantastic! We knew after a few seconds of meeting with Simon that he was the photographer we wanted to photograph our wedding. He is friendly, professional and extremely talented with a camera. We could tell he was very experienced with wedding photography from his tips and beautiful sample photos. We are absolutely in love with the photos from our wedding day and we’re blown away by the amazing quality of both the photos themselves and the high quality engraved wooden USB stick. Simon is so lovely and put us both at ease from the very start. There were many photos that we hadn’t realised he had captured until we received the digital copies as he was brilliant at knowing just where to be, and when! We know that we can count on Simon again for any future life events. More...

Simon was knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with from the very beginning of our wedding photography journey. Simon understood that we find photos awkward and were both worried about what we should do, so he gave us lots of options of poses and locations and was flexible on the day if we had more ideas. He had a great sense of humour and made us all feel so relaxed. Our family and friends still comment on how wonderful he was, and how well he did to capture all those images as a one man band for a large wedding! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon at all, he really captured the love, laughter and atheistic of our wedding day. Thank you so much Simon.

I set Simon an impossible challenge: to photograph my wedding in the middle of a pandemic (and all the last minute changes of plan that brought with it! ), and most importantly, capture some beautiful photos of our three children, 5, 2 and 8 months. I know from my own experience how hard it is to get a photo of any number of children smiling on command, but he was friendly, patient, and so naturally talented at what he does that a few weeks later, we received the most beautiful photographs, above and beyond what we expected. If you need a photographer, don't look any further than Simon. More...

Q&As

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 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?

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.

Ive always enjoyed working for myself, and Ive always loved photography.

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.

Services

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.
