Pssst - If you know someone who's just got engaged — especially someone who's dreading the "posed photos" part of it — send them this.

I don't know if it's for you. I don't know if it's for me, some days.

But my photography nightmares actually include shooting a cheesy set up of a bridal party on a bed, or fixating on champagne towers. So I'd choose the uncertainty every time.

Just went to clear out some old files, but did not, in actual fact, end up really clearing anything out. Here are some shiny things I found. (Maybe we can do the clearing tomorrow?)

Some of my favourite analog film shots of the last few weeks. This season I've been mainly using a Leica M6 with a 35mm Voigtlander Classic loaded with some Portra 400 or Tri-x. (I find it a bit easier to focus in the dark with the rangefinder)

My manifesto isn't big or complex. Most of the artistic decisions are guided by the core principles of "let a wedding be a wedding" and "how am I going to tell this story"

I do love black and white, but I also shoot loads of colour.

What else do people tend to ask?

Yes, I have spares and insurance, but most importantly a wonderful network of brilliant photographers for emergencies and second shooting.

Anything you want to ask?

Thank you for the lovely review Scarlet & Joseph. I'm so glad you're enjoying the images.

"We could not be happier with our wedding photo's from Simon - they feel totally genuine and us.

Simon was brilliant from start to finish, and honestly such a talent! All our guests commented on how beautiful the photo's were and we loved how everyone was authentically captured.

Thank you, Simon, for allowing us to relive our day through all the special little moments."

“We are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos. Simon captured the day so perfectly in his candid documentary style, which is exactly what we wanted. The photos are everything we hoped for and more. He has such a talent for catching the essence of a moment and making everyone feel at ease.
Our family and friends have been just as amazed as we are and we will treasure these photos forever. We are so grateful we found Simon and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
