Steve, Haven WeddingsI’ve been working with Simon for a number of years now, and he quickly became my first choice for a reliable second shooter. Not only can I trust him to deliver an amazing job every time, but he also has a natural ability to put couples at ease, helping them feel calm and relaxed throughout their wedding day.Across the day, I can confidently rely on Simon to capture everything that happens without needing direction. A big part of this comes from the time he invested early on to really understand my approach and style, allowing him to consistently deliver exactly what I need and often more.I’ve been so impressed with the way he works that I have now started to bring him on as an associate videographer and hybrid shooter as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone looking to work with him.

Marc Smith Photography & Videography'I’ve worked with Simon for over 10 years as my second shooter for wedding videography, and he’s been consistently reliable and easy to work with.He understands my style well and can be trusted to work independently, knowing exactly what needs to be captured throughout the day. Over time he’s naturally adapted to my creative approach, which makes him a great fit on any wedding. He’s calm under pressure, gets on well with couples and suppliers, and isn’t afraid to offer ideas when needed.Overall, he’s a dependable, experienced second shooter who consistently delivers solid work and would be a great addition to any videography team.

Taylor, Page One Weddings'I’ve worked with Simon for over 10 years now, he’s friendly, highly skilled and a great asset to any team!
You can count on Simon to not only capture what you require but also offer his creative expertise in addition.It’s often on a shoot day we would be in separate locations and I know that with Simon, I don’t need to worry about what he’s capturing, as he always delivers.If you’re looking for an associate or second shooter who’s punctual, gels with clients and has years of industry experience, Simon’s got you covered!
