Simon Dewey Photography
Hello, I'm Simon, a wedding photographer based in Derby for the last 10 years. Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life - a rare time when all your family and friends come together to celebrate. I work in a documentary style. Capturing real moments and emotions. Unstaged and unposed.

It makes for fresh, dynamic and intimate photos that live and breathe. Images that remind you how it felt to be there on the day. I love shooting in Derbyshire, The Peak District and Nottingham, but whether your wedding is local or further afield please get in touch. Your wedding day is a day for you to make special memories with family and friends - and it's a joy and privilege to get to capture that special day.
Services
Given our budget, we were reluctant to spend on a photographer, but we also knew we would regret it if we didn't have a good set of photos. We wanted natural photos, not posed stiff ones, and Simon's portfolio looked beautifully quirky. I can't tell you how glad we are that we chose him. He was worth every penny and more.

We hired Simon on the basis of his portfolio of natural, non-staged photos that seemed to capture genuine moments of emotion throughout the day. He delivered just this.
Simon is quiet, unobtrusive and somehow managed to be everywhere at once. He is not one for loudly staging large groups of people together, but rather discretely capturing the special moments of your day.
If there are particular sets of photos you want, Simon will ensure these are covered. This aside, you can certainly put your trust in him to do what he does best - take highly personal, beautiful photos.
Excellent service from

We were very impressed with the photos that Simon took, especially the candid
ones (although the staged photos were also excellent). He has an amazing eye for
capturing the moment and finds unusual pictures that are much more fun to look
at afterwards. His un-staged pictures provided us with a collection that
documents the day as it happened, and allows you to clearly re-live it in full -
this is exactly what you want from wedding photos. Check out the photos on his
webpage, they are all amazing.
Even at a small wedding, Simon is good at blending in to the background and
making everyone

Couldn't have asked for a better experience with Simon, even nearly 2 years after I get emotional looking over all the pictures he captured for us

More than a year on from our wedding I still absolutely love all of our photos! No regrets hiring Simon. He is perfect if you want modern, 'not cheesy' photos.

Simon photographed our wedding last month, and we could not have made a better choice to capture our day! We wanted candid, unposed photos to match our informal day, and Simon absolutely delivered. Throughout the day his photos caught so many of the moments and emotions of a truly wonderful day with our family and friends. Simon himself was so friendly and professional, yet so unobtrusive on the day that I have no idea how he managed to get some of our photos! They brought the day back to us so vividly and will be a joy for years to come - thank you Simon! Zoe and Karl

Simon is just magical, he captured our wedding day just how we wanted and the photos he has taken are outstanding. My husband and I are not the best in front of a camera but Simon made us feel at ease and comfortable in our day! We wanted someone to tell a story of our wedding, not spend hours smiling in front of a camera. Simon is discreet, professional, his skills are outstanding and most of all he took the time to understand us and what we wanted. I would wholeheartedly recommend Simon to anyone! The photos that we have seen already have made our perfect day even better, thank you Simon xx

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
