Small and Intimate Weddings - Derby and Derbyshire

How are you all doing? It's been a crazy crazy time. I've had very little on, as you can imagine. 2020 so far has been a couple of small weddings, an engagement shoot and a family session - so only a tiny percentage of the work that I'd usually be doing over the summer season. […]

 Documentary Family Photography Throughout Autumn I'm running a special offer on Documentary family photography sessions. The idea of these is that they're natural, fun, unposed (you probably get this by now if you're familiar with my work) All sessions include a collection of digital photos. Please drop me a line if you'd like to book […]

An autumnal family wedding at The Salam Chapel & Whitworth Centre I loved shooting every minute of this - and I really love the autumnal touches, the warm colours in the flowers and details that really let you know where you are in the year. 

Wedding: Odda's Chapel - Ceremony: Overbury Village Hall Annelies and Louis married twice - their first time was in Belgium and I got to cover the second day of celebrations in England. This part of the celebrations is Super-English And what a day it was - it was very very rainy and I drove down […]

Wedding & Reception - The Old Vicarage Boutique Hotel Jo & Jonathan married at the Old Vicarage in Southwell - a Hotel that markets itself as one of the East Midlands best kept secrets - and I'd be inclined to agree. The wedding ran perfectly, the food was amazing and the grounds are beautiful. Entertainment […]

Wedding & Reception @ Eyam Hall  Today I've got a beautiful summer wedding to share. Julia and Alex married at Eyam Hall back in July. Eyam Hall is a Jacobean-style manor house in the historic village of Eyam in Derbyshire - and it is a gorgeous venue for a wedding. It was a rainy morning, […]

Emma & Mike Wedding - West Bridgford hall  registry office / Reception - Lutterall Hall Mike & Emma booked me a couple of weeks before their wedding. And it sounded like a fairly standard registry office,  village hall kind of affair. Except they didn't want any preparations and would like me to start at 3pm […]

Debbie & Jake   Wedding - Brackenfield Church / Reception The Hurt Arms, Ambergate I do love a good church wedding - won't you just look at that light. I also love covering the boys getting ready in the morning - I think it adds another layer of storytelling to the day. Debbie & Jake […]

Wedding - The Fishpond , Matlock Bath I've never seen guests get so emotional at a wedding as this one (and I've seen a lot of emotion in my time as a wedding photographer) Martin and Brett married at The Fishpond - a boutique pub set amongst the beautiful Derbyshire countryside (and one of Englands […]

  Preparations, Wedding and reception @ The Whitworth Centre That's right, I'm trying something new with the blog and including a slideshow. So take a couple of minutes out of your busy day and press play And turn down the volume if you're at work (you can thank me later) This Whitworth Centre wedding was […]

"We wanted natural, unposed photos and loved Simon's use of colours and light in his portfolio. His photos of our day are stunning, and really captured the emotions of a very special day." Wedding - Electric Cinema Birmingham / Reception - Hotel du Vin I've been so excited to share this wedding on here. The […]
