I had a wonderful shoot with Simon on Friday! I advertised that I had some time available at Saracen House, Simon was in contact in a flash and BAM we had a plan!

He is super at communicating, very clear about his style. He also sent me a great mood board/inspiration dropbox for outfits ideas.

Simon is one of the loveliest photographers you will meet, he is very professional yet super easy going and chatty. We were able to have a laugh together, great conversation but still flowing easily into "work mode" and getting some great shots together.

I also really appreciated Simon tethering the shots to his iPad so that I could see the shots we were getting after each set.

We worked through a series of colour back drops, whizzed through different outfits and then shot some natural light work. I loved so many of the images in each set!

It was an absolute joy working with Simon, and I hope to do so again in the future :-)

Saracen House Studio

It's always wonderful to welcome Simon back to Saracen House Studio; he's a brilliant photographer with lots of ideas, versatile and highly skilled.

On top of that, he's one of the nicest blokes I know, so would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

I’ve worked with Simon at the end of June for the first time  and I can honestly say that he is absolutely a delight to work with; he's very professional but is a genuinely a lovely guy who can get the best out of every model 😉

Not only is Simon very talented, his retouching skills are amazing, we’ve got some beautiful images!

Genuinely can’t recommend him highly enough .. Great person , great photographer.

Highly recommend 110%

I had the pleasure of shooting yesterday with Simon, this time at Saracen House Studios and again it was a delight.

Pre-shoot communications were perfect with Simon providing a great moodboard making it easy for me to select a range of outfits to bring and shoot in.

He also provided in depth detail about the location, times and what he was hoping to get out the shoot, also following up and checking in again a few days before the actual shoot.

I always feel comfortable shooting with Simon, and yesterday was another successful day and the shoot was a breeze.

I highly recommend and look forward to working with him again.

I worked with Simon for the first time not long ago, at Saracen House studio! Pre comms were brilliant, very detailed and descriptive. The shoot itself flew by and we got some amazing photos! Simon is respectful, friendly and has creative ideas! We had a great shoot but it went far too quickly! I would absolutely recommend Simon to anybody wishing to work with him. Great shoot!

Fantastic first shoot with Simon at Covehithe beach :) I've been looking forward to shooting with Simon for a long time now and it totally lived up to my expectations :)

Simon's pre comms were absolutely fantastic. Super duper organisation and made planning very straight-forward. We were hoping to do a sunrise shoot, although the weather wasn't too kind to us. We continued with the shoot despite the cold and cloudy weather and I'm so glad we did (the pictures look amazing and dramatic so far)!

Simon was highly professional throughout the shoot was was really friendly :) It was great to chat with him on our walk down to the beach and throughout the shoot. We mostly shot dance and leaps on the beach which Simon was timing fantastically. Simon was very kind and allowed me to warm up inbetween sets.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Simon again, in fact we are planning our next shoot :)

Thanks again Simon!

Highly recommended

Had my first shoot yesterday with Simon, a sunrise beach shoot, and it was great!

Pre-comms were excellent with a clear moodboard provided and Simon sourced a great beach that wasn’t too far for us both to travel to.

Simon is super friendly and a pro at what he does. The back of the camera photos looked so good, I’m so excited to see the finished products.

Would definitely recommend Simon to anyone looking for a great photographer and I can’t wait to work with him again.

Thank you!

I had my first shoot with Simon the other day at the gorgeous Camber Sands and it is safe to say it was a great success! The 5am start was a bit of a shock to the system however it was well worth it for the shots that Simon Captured. Pre Comms were brilliant, Simon had really researched the area and had thought through everything. He sent me through a great mood board so I could get a good idea of the shots he wanted to capture and outfits I should bring, which as a model I really love.

All in all I absolutely loved shooting with Simon, very friendly, chatty and professional! I would highly recommend!

Thank you again Simon for such a great shoot and I hope we can work together again soon! :)

I had a great shoot with Simon - our second shoot together but it had been a few years since our first! I'm so glad we decided to work together again. We had a nice, relaxed shoot with lots of variety and creativity. Simon really pays attention to detail and is open to input and feedback from models, which makes the shoot really collaborative and positive :) We have some great results which I can't wait to share! Overall, I totally recommend Simon - he's friendly, respectful, easy to work with, and a great photographer. Thank you Simon!

First visit to two Wei from Simon but hopefully not his last. It was obvious from Simon's initial enquiry that he'd taken a good look at our port and had a particular shoot in mind - his comms and planning are excellent.

Simon is a warm and friendly gent with a big smile and good conversation. He worked very well with his model and we are looking forward to see some of the images captured from their visit.

Simon is recommended by us to studios and models alike without reservation.

another fantastic shoot with Simon completed. We shot at Two Wei House which is beautiful, and Simon and I had plenty of choice to work with. He was full of ideas, we were on the same page in regards to the concepts, execution of images and positioning which I always find helpful on a shoot. He was polite, friendly and chatty as always, and I hope to work with him again soon. I cant wait to see the end results from today :) thanks again x

I had such a great shoot with Simon at the chapel! I was very impressed that he thought of such a good creative idea that has never been done before at that location- seeing as there have been so many shoots there now. I had so much fun collaborating on ideas and working together to create some unique magic. Simon is a great guy, absolute gent and amazing photographer- I hope to work with him again one day :) highly recommended.

Saracen House Studio

Always great to have Simon back at Saracen House... Simon is one of the most genuine and friendly people I know and this comes though in his photography, he's able to get that extra something from his images of people.

Would have no hesitation in heartily recommending Simon to any studio or model.

Once again, I really enjoyed working with Simon, that time at Saracen House Studio.

Simon is super relaxed to work with and take the time he needs to get the perfect light and the perfect setting. I love the way he works I think our session was very productive and efficient. He's got his own ideas but is always happy to listen to mine as well, which make it a real collaboration. You can see it thought the pictures, indeed I am more than happy with the result.

Loved working with Simon. Love his work and his personality. Very friendly and professional!

Looking forward to working with him again.

100% recommended!

Today I shot with Simon and his wife (was her first time on a shoot :) )

After my original photographer cancelled the day before the shoot at Thurston Lodge i put a casting call up and simon was one of many who answered. I think you can tell by his portfolio why i picked him due to his stunning work.

They both were warm and lovely people and we all bounced off each other for ideas.

They didn't judge me and my craziness even when turning round and finding me in the hardest, strangest and most dangerous positions, they just let me carry on with it which was great and rolled with what i was trying to do.

It was an absolute pleasure and hope we can work together again soon.

I had a lovely early morning shoot with Simon.

He arrived on time and was extremely easy to talk too.

I felt completely comfortable in his presence and he put me at ease.

He is a very professional photographer and I really enjoyed working with him, he even brought me a coffee to help warm us up as it was a little cold which was so kind.

Simon is very friendly and I highly recommended him.

He is very focussed and determined on getting great pics, an absolute pleasure to work with.

I hope in the future we can work together again soon :)

Yet another shoot with Simon, maybe one of our best yet! He was my very first home shoot and I very deliberately chose him for it, because I knew his relaxed, warm nature and ability to get great shots quickly would put me at ease and make for a productive session. I felt completely comfortable in his presence and with him in my home. He was a perfect guest, a wonderful photographer, and a great companion.

Only a few days later and I have already been given multiple edits, which are awesome, and I know there are even better ones up next.

I love working with Simon and am already looking forward to the next time!

I have had an amazing shoot with Simon yesterday. He is a very professional photographer and I really enjoyed working with him. He knows exactly how to work with light even if it's very difficult. Simon is a very friendly person, it was a pleasure to work with him. I'm looking forward shooting with him again!

had a lovely early morning shoot, got picked up at 4am, our 2nd shoot together now, and was still great fun despite the early start! fab pics :)

I can’t believe I haven’t left Simon a reference yet! We had a wonderful shoot at my home and I found Simon to be so friendly, relaxed and down to earth. He took some stunning images and I would highly recommend him :)
