Hi, I’m Simon and I’m passionate about creating beautiful, striking, timeless photographs. I specialise in Wedding Photography and Portrait Photography, but I’m always keen to work with businesses too.
Beautiful, relaxed, timeless Wedding Photography, covering East Sussex & Kent
Modern Portrait photography in my home studio in Hastings, or in your home, or a local location
Product Photography, Food Photography, Staff portraits & Location Photography
Mostly, I work as a Wedding Photographer, which I absolutely love. I offer Wedding Photography in the East Sussex and Kent areas, including Hastings, Battle, Rye, Ticehurst, Eastbourne and Lewes. My aim has always been to create beautiful, timeless wedding photos, and to capture all the key moments of the day as it unfolds naturally, and all the details, as well as taking lots of wonderful portraits of the couple, their families, and their guests. Previous couples have often commented on how Im very good at putting people at ease, which I really appreciate – I think it’s important to keep things easy and relaxed at a wedding, especially for the couple. But of course, underneath my relaxed manner is a laser sharp sense of focus!
I also specialise in Portrait Photography, which I do mostly from my home studio in Hastings. I’m happy to travel too, and take my lighting with me, (its all portable!) as some people like to have portraits taken at their home. My portrait studio has a range of lighting, and a variety of backdrop colours. I’m experienced with creating clean, modern, flattering lighting, as well as ‘beauty’ lighting. With so many people having an online presence these days, a professional portrait shoot is well worth doing for people who want a really high end, professional image of themselves, showing them at their very best.
Im open to all kinds of work, and always appreciate the opportunity of working with Businesses and Charities. I’ve photographed events, the workplace environment, staff at work, properties and interiors, food, product shots, staff portraits etc. I’ve covered a whole variety of assignments, and I’m always keen to do more, because the variety of work I’ve done with various business and charities is refreshing and stimulating – and it keeps me on my toes!

EXCELLENTBased on 76 reviewsAnne Allen02/10/2024Just wanted to say a great big thank you Simon. 🙏😁 You are an absolute Superstar! We are bowled over by all the stunning photos. They are superb! Simon is such a wonderful, lovely, kind & professional person. He worked so hard, throughout the day & evening, to get all the amazing photos he produced, but so unobtrusively! Simon really captured the feel of our wonderful and happy wedding day, I can't stop smiling when looking through all the fabulous photos. They bring the day back so vividly. There are also some real Wowsers there; which completely took our breath away when we saw them. We sent the photo link to our family and friends. Oh my, the amazing comments from everyone. The candid shots of family & friends are beautiful moments captured in time, and will be truly treasured. Every wedding should have Simon Booth as their photographer. You would never be disappointed. Simon, thank you so much, it's been a joy and a privilege, the photo book you have produced is absolutely superb, just perfect. You are a true genius! Anne & Gary xSteve Simmonds09/09/2024Simon was incredible from start to finish. His attention to detail and the way he explained how the day would work made everything so much easier. We felt so comfortable talking about what we wanted but also relying on his experience and expertise. During the day all of the guests commented how he captured photos respectfully and they didn’t even realise he was there. And now looking through them, we are blown away by the quality of the angles, backgrounds, colour etc. We could not recommend Simon highly enough, thank you for capturing our special day brilliantly.Martina Merelli26/08/2024One of the most professional Photographers we have had the pleasure to work with. From the intro meeting to everything is between, Simon did a fantastic job and we couldn't have asked for more. 5 stars from us!Sam Collins18/07/2024Simon shot our wedding in June 2024 and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From conversations & meetings in the lead up to the event, as well as on the day itself, Simon was always very professional, kind & understanding to our wishes. Simon was great to have about on the day itself, not intrusive at all and mingled nicely with the guests. Would 100% recommend.seb .horner01/07/2024Couldn't recommend him highly enough for a wedding photographer. He was our photographer at Wadhurst Castle in May 2024. Excellent price, very friendly and quick to respond to emails, on the day he was very relaxed and never intrusive, and then only a 3 week turnaround to get amazing pictures back to us! Thank you very much Simon!Ana Copus21/06/2024Highly recommend for a professional, friendly and very accommodating photoshoot. Thank you Simon :)Jen Rouse14/02/2024What a find Simon was! Great photographer, really listens and pays attention to every last detail so that you're 100% happy. I absolutely love my headshots for my new website - they're even better than I had hoped. Thank you so much Simon, I'll be recommending you to all my friends!Amelia Jeffery15/01/2024Great contact before, kept it super simple and we LOVE our photos! Our venue said they’re the best December shots they’ve had. Thank you Simon, you’re such a talent!John Kean11/01/2024Great service from start to finish including outdoor, studio and editing.
