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!

EXCELLENT Based on 84 reviews Posted on Wayne Vassallo15/01/2026 We couldn’t be happier with Simon as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, he was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We had a couple of meetings with Simon before the wedding, where he really took the time to listen to what we wanted and helped put us completely at ease. On the day itself, Simon was exceptionally organised and guided us calmly and confidently from one session to the next, which made everything feel effortless and stress-free. He had some really creative and artistic ideas, and any obstacles that came up were handled in a calm, professional manner without fuss. During the day he showed us some of the photos straight from his camera, and even then we knew we were in safe hands. Now that we’ve seen the full set of photos, we’re more than impressed. The results are absolutely incredible. We’d highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and genuinely talented photographer.Posted on ian redstone27/11/2025 Simon did a lovely job with some photos of my daughter for a present. The session was friendly and fun, he was very helpful. We got lots of great photos. And Simon was very efficient in the post-session production of short list/high quality photos. Overall: very pleased, and would highly recommend.Posted on Lenka Fowle16/11/2025 I had a great experience with Simon's photography session. I really liked all the pictures he took. It was very professional, quick with great communication throughout. I couldn't ask for anything more.Posted on Elizabeth Emson09/11/2025 Simon did a fantastic job capturing our special day. We are absolutely elated to have found him and cannot recommend him more!Posted on Luke Ellis02/11/2025 Simon was an absolute delight from the moment we first met him. From our very first conversation, it was clear that we were going to get along, and he did a fantastic job capturing our wedding. Blending in effortlessly with our guests, Simon photographed all the fun, emotional, and most importantly, natural moments of our day. When we received the email saying our photos were ready, his incredible work let us relive every special moment all over again. Thank you so much, Simon, for everything - anyone would be lucky to have you as their photographer!Posted on Sam Yearbridge10/06/2025 Simon was a dream to work with: - Easy yet comprehensive briefing calls - He really put at ease on the day - All of the shots are absolutely gorgeous!Posted on Dan02/06/2025 An amazing photographer, and a wonderful person. Communication was brilliant, excellent organisation. His services all came at a brilliant price with everything we wanted fairly included. He knew our venue well already, and he was able to make the most of a incredibly intensely sunny day, and made sure we took some stunning sunset photos. He also did a brilliant job capturing all the small details, the little things that we may forget down the line. His presence at the wedding was hardly noticed, which is exactly what we wanted, we wanted a photographer who felt like one of the guests and that's exactly what Simon was, but for the portraits he gave clear and easy to follow instructions when needed. A wonderful man and we can't recommend him enough.Posted on Maria Steene11/03/2025 As someone who was initially dreading having to do a studio portrait business photo shoot(!), Simon's gift of putting me at ease with his expertise and personality turned my whole session into a fun and amazing experience! His creative eye for detail, lighting and 'flattering' angles was incredible - there were so many fantastic final images to choose from that it made it difficult to pick out the best! I would definitely recommend Simon to others and choose him again for any future photo shoots, whether in the studio or at a location. Thank you Simon.Posted on Hollie Hughes24/12/2024 Simon shot our wedding and he was absolutely brilliant. Our images are absolutely perfect and we are so pleased! He captured the essence of us as a couple as well as our family and friends. We can’t thank him enough for being so personable, relaxed and he fitted into our day seamlessly. A million thank yous!!!Posted on Anne Allen02/10/2024 Just 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 x
