I can recommend cheaper photographers, but for what you are getting with Simon, it really is good value for money. For his fee, he is there all day meaning you capture your guests enjoying themselves in the evening as well as through the day. Simon is a great photographer to choose when having footage that goes on into later in the day, because having a background in photo journalism, he is superb at catching things as they happen and taking good 'unposed' natural looking photos. You will find a lot of so-called reportage photographers out there, but they aren't. They still pose you a lot and their reportage work is a bit hit and miss. The cheaper ones also don't stay as long, so you have to balance that up as well. They also look cheaper, but they make up for it in the prices they charge for prints
Photos are the lasting memory you will have of the day and is really worth investing in. Save money on the cake, cut down on the flowers, but not the photos - that would be my recommendation.

Absolutely briliant! Thank you so much - can't wait to see the rest!

Simon Grosset came highly recommended to us and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for original, unobtrusive photos. He captures moments like no one else I've seen, blending amongst the guests and avoiding hours of unnatural posing. At the end of the occasion you are sent 20 beautiful black and white prints and a cd of over 400 fantastic shots - all for a flat rate and ours to print off as many as we like. A fantastic bonus for our friends and family who aren't forced into choosing one or two photos for extorniate prices. Superb service and a fantastic way of re-living such a special day over and over again.

Thank you for taking such wonderful photographs at our wedding. We very much appreciate both their strong artistic and technical quality and we also just love them.You captured the mood of the day precisely - the balance of solemnity during the ceremony and the high of the joyous celebration afterwards. We have experienced many hours pouring over them with friends and family and have had numerous positive comments back. As you can see, we have even used one of your photographs for our thank you notes. Thank you for your art.

We have just seen the first selection of Kirstie and Elliot's wedding photographs on your site.
They are beautiful and capture the whole mood and essence of the day. So much so, I felt as if I was back living it all over again. It made me cry.
Kirstie and Elliot are still on honeymoon but I am sure they will be in touch when they return.
We can't thank you enough for giving us these lovely memories of a very special day.
Our very best wishes.

Wow! They're wonderful Simon!
Thank you so much for your amazing photos; I keep looking at them and can't wait to start printing and framing. I know it's cliched but the day DID go too quickly and we can now re-live it through your pictures. I was a little worried about the weather and the lack of opportunity for one big group picture but you managed to capture a huge swathe of our guests in individual portraits. With so many unique, relaxed character shots we have most of our friends in the album. You even managed to organise our somewhat merry bunch for the formal photos - a challenge in itself!
There are so many wonderful images but my favourites include those of us and our guests dancing and laughing, the two of us holding hands and also your delicate pictures of my dress and flowers.
I also thought that you might appreciate reading some of our friends' comments:- "What lovely, happy, representative photos they are." "These are really good!" "They are absolutely lovely - nice to be reminded of a memorable weekend, and no sign of bad weather!" "They are gorgeous photos."
We had such a fantastic day and you've really captured that for us.
Many thanks again and with best wishes,

Simon, they are all absolutely amazing and we love every single photograph, even the one of Elliot's modest dance routine on the stage! We have over 400 amazing photographs to look through and remind us of the most important day of our lives. Thank you for fitting in like one of the family and making us all feel so relaxed. We are now able to enjoy the bits of the day that you don't get to see as bride and groom as you managed to catch every guest on camera.

We can't thank you enough for all your efforts at our two parties. You were great to have around, more of a friend than anything, which made us so relaxed. Your shots are unreal and we appreciate all you've done.

We're still amazed at your photographs. You've told the story of the day from start to finish in a superb collection of top quality stills. The day was spectacular, the weather held (just!) and your photographs have provided us with a marvellous collection of reminders of the day. Needless to say, if anyone mentions the need for a wedding photographer, we'll point them to our collection and your website. Many of our friends have commented on your style of photography - all very positively I might add.
