About Me

Hello, my name's Simon! I'm a wedding photographer in Walthamstow, East London. I capture memories from your happiest moments and make them last. I live for a good story and have racked up my fair share of anecdotes over the years…not all of them the romantic kind!

Even as a child I had a strong sense of narrative, honed from endless repeat viewings of Star Wars. Swapping the lightsaber for a camera, I started taking photography seriously in 2005 and a few years later decided to ditch the day job to commit full-time to the world of wedding photography.

I've shot weddings all over England and beyond. Not quite in galaxies far, far away, but definitely overseas. I love meeting new people and hearing the stories that have led them to this point in time.

I fully believe that weddings should be fun, celebratory events. Couples should enjoy every minute of their day, spending time with the ones they love. No forced poses, no strict schedules. I fit into your day and capture it the way it naturally unfolds – full of laughs, a few tears, and a lot of terrible dancing.

I’m Here To Tell Your Story

So you can trust me when I say that I’m never going to make you spend hours of your wedding day posing for endless unnecessary shots with extended family members. That’s not a celebration!

I don’t pose or stage photos – I discover them naturally as I tell the story of your day. I work in a relaxed, candid style with an emphasis on documentary-style photography. The majority of the photos will be unposed. Of course, I’m more than happy to shoot any posed pictures you might like throughout the day – but rest assured, I won’t overload your wedding with requests to form a group (or a human pyramid!).

Spending time with your loved ones and sharing this wonderful experience is the best part of the day. I’ll make sure that any formal photos are taken quickly and efficiently, so that you can go and do exactly that.

Leave the photography to me. I’ll tell your story from start to finish without ever breaking the flow of your day.

Whether it's in pursuit of the perfect angle or the perfect moment, if I'm your photographer – I'm getting that shot!

In my career to date, I have…

• Scaled a ladder for a precarious group photo
• Been hoisted 15 feet in the air by farm machinery
• Taxied countless guests from the church to the reception
• Embarked on a last-minute mission into town to help a guest find a cashpoint
• Hung out of countless windows for family shots
• Clambered across numerous hotel roofs, some steeper than others
• Gatecrashed the wrong wedding reception (not my fault!)
• Buttoned up my fair share of grooms
• Received a crash course in golf buggy driving

Whether I'm hanging out of a window frame or growing steadily more uncomfortable in a tractor bucket, it's all part of the adventure and I wouldn't change it for anything.

I may live in London but I have wheels, a passport and a strong sense of adventure. I'm not just an East London, Kent and Essex wedding photographer – I'm happy to travel anywhere in order to document your day. A few of my stand-out favourites have included Central Park in New York City, Mount Etna in Sicily & St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

It doesn't matter if you're throwing a bash in a barn or a soirée in a stately home. I've captured ceremonies in fields, hotels, dormant (apparently) volcanoes, cathedrals, back gardens, working men's clubs and everywhere in between. It would be my absolute pleasure to capture yours.
