Simon Dewey Photography Full Description
It doesn’t matter if you’re getting married in a grand stately home, a cinema or your own kitchen - I believe everyone can have beautiful natural wedding photos. It just needs the right person behind the camera. Hello, I'm Simon a reportage / documentary wedding photographer based in Derby and I think weddings rock. They're just stories on top of stories on top of stories. So many beautiful pictures to take of people deeply in love and the family histories around them. My job is trying to nail that exact moment where everything falls together perfectly. Moments and emotions. Selected and curated and presented in the most beautiful way possible. I don't want to be making cheesy, awkward photos or getting you and your guests to stand round for hours on parade. The best photos happen by just being in the moment and letting things happen. What else do you need to know? Let's go for a coffee. I'd love to hear about your plans and what's important to you on your big day.

The Wedding of Zoe and Karl, 3rd November 2018

Simon’s photos are amazing! He captures moments and emotions perfectly, and did an amazing job working in minimal light in our cinema venue. We wanted candid photography with a minimum of posed shots - Simon shoots so fast and is so unobtrusive that I have no idea how he got some of our photos! His use of colour and light is wonderful and was perfect for capturing the memories of our day.

Andree and Neils wedding September 8 2018

Simon took the most wonderful pictures of our wedding. The photos individually were exquisite but taken together they really told the story of the day. I can't get over how well Simon managed to do this. When we look at the photos it truly takes us right back to our beautiful wedding. I'm really glad we asked Simon to be our wedding photographer.

Just beautiful memories of a beautiful day.

Simon is an artist. The photos he took of our special day are so beautiful, so alive, you can feel the joy and the fun we all had at our wedding. We all cried when we first saw them, I still cry now! I could not recommend Simon enough. He is incredibly helpful, was so attentive to what we wanted on the day and when the day arrived, we were only sad that we didn't see him very much! Because he was off taking the most treasured photos I have in my house. I had a hard time choosing pictures to be printed so in the end I chose them all!

Relaxed, kind and a good listener

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our wedding photos by Simon. He really captured the day beautifully. Our wedding was very colourful and that came through in all of Simon’s photos. Neither of us particularly likes having our photos taken and Simon made the whole process relaxed and straightforward. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful record of the day. We were so pleased we had an engagement shoot with Simon because we felt so much more relaxed with him on the day. I’d really recommend it!

exceptional and unique wedding photographer

Simon is an exceptional and unique wedding photographer. He is well worth every penny we invested in our photos. As bride and groom, there are so many little details you miss on the day, and you're so busy and excited, there are so many others you forget. Simon captures the most important, beautiful moments, so that you can relive every emotion, funny anecdote and memory of the day. He is also very good at the couple shots, especially for people don't like posing! and has a knack for beautiful lighting. Our family and guests have gone crazy for the photos- if they're not printing them for their home, they're making their photos their profile picture or having a laugh looking back at our album on Facebook! I also loved Simon's attention to detail and dedication. He understands newly engaged couples, and made us feel special- it was a wonderful experience working with him from the moment we first contacted him right until the photos were in our hands. We are very happy. Would highly recommend. Book the whole day if budget allows.

He records every beautiful moment

“Simon has literally captured the entire emotions of our entire wedding. He doesn't just take photos he records every beautiful moment in the most beautiful light! He was fantastic to have around on the day. He took charge when we needed him to but mostly we didn't notice him! He really has given us the most beautiful wedding gift with his stunning pictures and as you can tell myself, my husband and our family could not be more thrilled with the stunning moments he has immortalised for us.” - Lucy & Mark

I cannot recommend him highly enough

Simon is an amazing photographer. He has photographed three events for my family. first it was family photos for my 50th where he absolutely caught the essence and bonds between us. He photographed my sister's Ruby wedding anniversary party, again capturing really special moments and then in June 2018 he photographed a party that myself and my husband had. Everyone who has seen those photos has said that he caught the spirit and fun of the evening. He was unobtrusive but really caught some very special moments. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

completely captured the mood and emotions of the d

We loved the style of his photography. Lots of people can take photos. But he has an incredible eye and completely captured the mood and emotions of the day. Loved them all, very very happy with what we got. Also sent us the most beautiful and moving slideshow just 2 days after the wedding which was an amazing surprise.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I had a beautiful Tipi festival wedding, which had a very Glastonbury feel to it a couple of years back. I think I would have paid the couple to let me shoot it (don't tell them that though). Also Don't Tell the Bride for BBC3 - but for very different reasons.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, Honest, Unobtrusive, Emotional, Unposed

What about your business are you most proud of?

Getting shortlisted for the wedding industry awards and winning a Wedding Photographer of the Year award from The Guild of Photographers

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Decide on the top 3 things that are important to you on your day - and make them really happen!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I always love a good live band. I think choice in music tells you a lot about people.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We meet, and I get to know them and what's important about their wedding photography. We talk a few weeks before the wedding to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. I turn up on the day and take photos that I think will rock their world.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Being someone who always makes it up on the day and aims for spontaneous and authentic imagery...... I don't really believe there is one. Every wedding is unique, and the photography is the best way to capture that- It shouldn't be formulaic.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

^^ See last question!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Surrounding yourself with people you love and having a good time.

Describe how you got into photography.

I didn't grow up as a photographer; I always thought I'd be a rock star or writer or make movies or something. But at some point I started documenting life with a camera
