The album is superb and we are really grateful for your flexibility and support in helping us get the photos that we wanted in there. The arrangement of the photos and the contrast between colour and black and white is simply amazing and many of our friends have said how beautiful the photos are.

Congratulations to Lauren & Dan Marriott, married on Saturday 02nd October, 2010. Lauren got ready at her parents house and was transported with her father to St. Mary’s Church in Upton Grey in a classic 1925 Oakland wedding car. After the wedding ceremony, the whole wedding party made their way to the stunning Cain Manor venue set overlooking the Hampshire countryside.

Unfortunately the weather and some local road closures meant a wetter and slightly more cross country route to Cain Manor. However, everyone arrived safely, although in a more staggered time frame. We also managed to get outside for a few photos in between down pours, a fun day was had by all.

“Simon was the best supplier that we had for our wedding. His service throughout the process was wonderful, and the end result was better than we ever expected. On the day he was supportive and unobtrusive, resulting in natural and beautiful photographs. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough” ~ Lauren & Dan

“Sorry we haven’t got back to you sooner and just wanted to let you know we absolutely love the album and everyone’s comments on it have been amazing – some even saying that it’s the best wedding album they have ever seen! I think people are so used to seeing albums full of set poses and ours is so different with such natural shots which makes it so special. The printed disc is fab too – so clever!
Thank you so much for capturing the day for us and it makes me want to do the whole day all over again” ~ Kate & Paul
