Hello I’m Simon, and I photograph relaxed weddings and events around Nottingham and the East Midlands in a documentary style.
My approach to your wedding photography is to be present, curious and playful and let the day unfold naturally. I use small cameras and blend in as much as possible.
If you’re looking for authentic, award winning documentary style wedding photography for your Nottingham wedding please get in touch.
As a Nottingham wedding photographer, I believe weddings are not just an event to document — they’re vivid, emotional stories waiting to be lived again and again.
My approach is rooted in documentary wedding photography: I’m there to see rather than orchestrate. I believe the most powerful images are the unexpected smiles, the fleeting glances, the off-beat moments. I let the light, the space, your personalities and your story guide the photographs.
Because your wedding is unique, I don’t bring a uniform formula. I aim to craft images that feel raw, genuine and alive — photos that don’t just show your day, but feel like it, bringing you right back to what you were experiencing in that moment.
The best photographs aren’t staged – they’re discovered. They’re the images that surprise you, the ones you weren’t expecting – the ones that speak to how it was. My job is to be attuned, to listen, to observe, and to capture your wedding authentically.
”I cannot begin to tell you how much I love your wedding photos. You've honestly left us with the best gift ever. You capture moments, movements and most importantly, emotions. And then, you wrap them all up into gorgeous photos which tell story after story at every turn.

A Nottingham wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the real, unscripted moments of your day. Nottingham has lots of great venues to get married, including Swancar Farm, The Carriage Hall, The Walled Garden and Hazel Gap Barn.
My style is relaxed, natural, and focused on storytelling, allowing you to fully enjoy your wedding while I document it with authenticity. I believe the best photos happen when you’re at ease, surrounded by people you love, without feeling like you’re constantly being posed.
Every couple’s story is unique, and I strive to capture that in an honest, meaningful way. Whether it’s a tearful glance, a burst of laughter, or a quiet moment shared, my goal is to create a visual record that takes you back to how it felt to be there on your wedding day.
You’ll often see the words reportage, documentary photography, and photojournalism used interchangeably in the world of wedding photography.
But all you really need to know is that it’s my aim to create a visual narrative of your wedding day as it unfolds before me. To watch the story that’s taking place and retell it through the medium of photography.
Ultimately, the goal of a documentary wedding photographer is to transport you back to the authentic, beating heart of your wedding day whenever you look through the images.
It’s about more than just documenting; it’s about preserving the living, breathing, joy-filled story that each wedding day inherently becomes.
”Well, I honestly don’t know where to start. Thank you so much for our absolutely incredible wedding photos ♥️ You have, without doubt, captured the essence of our wedding day. We’ve cried & laughed so much this evening. My hearts bursting! I’m so incredibly happy we found you.
