"Simon not only made our day by capturing it all but he made it by attending." I'm Simon of Acronym Photography. As both an extrovert and a creative I'm energised by the people I work with - I love getting to know you, your family and friends and capturing moments that are meaningful to you. My goal when you work with me is to help you feel confident and comfortable in front of my camera and genuinely enjoy the experience; along with providing you a beautiful record of your day. I'll spend your day a step ahead of you, giving you advice for the ceremony that isn't just for the sake of the photographs but so that you can make the most of the experience itself. Crucially, I believe I do a better job by getting to know you all. I hear from wedding guests how much they appreciate this approach and how different I am to other photographers they've seen at weddings. I'm based in Bideford (North Devon) but cover the South West: Devon, Somerset, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Dorset, Bath and Bristol and can occasionally be coaxed a bit further afield. A lot of reviews are scattered across various websites but please pop over to my website for more info, I charge £1250 for a full day but there are other packages available including ones where I stay late and get the pleasure of making epic dance floor images of you and your guests. Have a look and then let's have a chat. All the best, Simon www.acronymphotography.com 07595362228

Amazing!!!
Simon was absolutely amazing at our wedding!!
Very good with the children and even took us to the beach to get some amazing pictures!! He went above and beyond for us!! Could not thank him enough!! Felt like we knew Simon for years! Would 1000% recommend!!
SPECTACULAR!!
We are in awe of the spectacularly beautiful pictures Simon took of our wedding at Sandy Cove Hotel.
After reading what Simon wrote on his website, we felt very safe in the knowledge he would capture our day exactly as we wanted…and he certainly delivered and exceeded our expectations.
All our guests were commenting on what a professional he was and what lovely company he was on our special day. We completely agree! Most of the time we weren’t aware of where he was and as a result the pictures are so beautifully natural and capture special moments between us and our guests which is exactly what we wanted.
Looking through our pictures we were sent on a journey of memories and we love every single one!
We couldn’t recommend him strongly enough! Thank you so much Simon!!

Couldnt ask for a better photographer! Please, get him for your wedding - you won't regret it!
Simon has been amazing ever since, from start (inquiry) til the end (pictures being sent) has been amazing! He was very responsive to our queries, has been very accommodating to our requests( my vision and ideas for the wedding pics), is a good sport!(you can actually have a banter with him), chats and tries to mingle with everyone(friendly not flirting hehe) and has a creative way of taking pictures. (my wife's nan actually loved him! they danced at the very end of the party which everyone was so happy about!)
He is very easy to talk to, and gives alot of suggestions (good ones) how would the day flow, what can be the next steps, and goes above and beyond for the pics!
i would suggest to whoever will be booking him, research your poses,pictures,styles, of your wedding photoshoot, and simon will bring it to life 10x more than what you can imagine. ( im very particular with photos[considering that I take alot of photos too], and I did not regret hiring Simon as he did a brilliant job!
i will attach pics that my wife and I loved most!
Hoping for your success whoever will be wedded next! :))
To Simon: Thank you very much! May you continue to bring happiness and joy to anyone who will be hiring you!

Simply the best!
Simon makes you feel like you’ve known him for years. A truly amazing chap who takes the photos as you want them plus he comes up with fabulous ideas. He has a great eye for detail and captures the best memories. We are simply over the moon with our pictures of our best day and so pleased Simon was there to share it with us.
We would 100% recommend Acronym Photography, you’d be mad to go anywhere else!
The BEST
We had Simon as our wedding photographer and I CANNOT recommend him enough, we had done a preshoot so when he turned up it was like a friend had arrived. He made us feel so comfortable throughout and had a lot of knowledge of weddings so was able to give words of wisdom/advice to make us feel more relaxed around the whole occasion. We are now thinking about what other things we can do just to have him as a photographer again. A genuinely lovely man who has a very impressive talent for photography. Thank you so much Simon you made our wedding day absolutely incredible x
Perfect Photographer to capture your special day
We first reached out to Simon through Bridebook and were immediately impressed by his stunning gallery.
After speaking with him, we knew he was the perfect photographer for our wedding.
Simon is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also a charming and knowledgeable person.
Throughout the planning phases, he provided invaluable advice. For a small additional cost, we even did a test run at our wedding venue, St Audries, which helped us get a feel for the big day.
On our wedding day, everyone thought Simon was amazing.
The photos he captured are our treasured memories forever, perfectly reflecting one of the most perfect days of our lives.
We wholeheartedly recommend Simon to any couple looking for an outstanding photographer.
Thank you, Simon, for capturing our day exactly as we wanted!

WHAT A GUY
We completely lucked out, finding Simon as our wedding photographer. He is beyond, recommendable. He is personable, fun and clearly genuinely loves his job. When you pair this wonderful man with one of the most memorable day of your life, the outcome is beautiful. And when you receive your exceptionally high-quality, professional photographs after your wedding day and they feel like a ‘bonus’ to Simon being there on your day, you count your blessings and know you found the right man. Thank you so much Simon, for being YOU. We are so appreciative that you were the person who captured and shared our day with us.
Wedding Photographer
Simon photographed our wedding in February at Rockbeare Manor and… WOW. I love each and every single one out of 831 photos we got from the day and Simon was a joy to have around at our wedding. Couldn’t recommend Acronym Photography enough. If you’re thinking of booking… DO IT!
Wow what can we say
Wow what can we say, Simon is absolutely incredible from start to finish. His enthusiasm and passion for his work is so evident. Simon went above and beyond to make our day special and as stress free as possible. We would highly recommend Simon to any person looking for a photographer that is able to keep to a tight schedule with a smile on his face and love for his work. Thank you thank you thank you! The Jackson’s xxxx
Elopement wedding
Where do I begin with Simon, you are an incredible person & an even more incredible photographer. From the moment we booked you we knew we made the right choice. You made us feel at total ease and took our opinions into consideration. Both me & Aaron was a little apprehensive about being in front of the camera you reassured us & made that feeling go away. You made our day so special it wouldn’t of been the same without you. I would recommend anyone to use you as their photographer. I could write an essay about how perfect you were. Thank you for everything.
Our wedding day
The most wonderful photos captured, by the best photographer. Simon was so easy to work with, we didn’t realise he was there. He has captured the best memories of our day, which is just what we asked for. He was there from dawn till dusk and even got up on the dance floor. Pulp common people will always be remembered for you Simon. Thank you so so highly recommended
Book Simon now you won’t regret it
Simon was the photographer for my wedding on the 2nd July and I couldn’t ask for a better photographer. He had so many great ideas for our couples photos which I’m literally obsessed with. He’s so easy to get on with (and by request he wore the most epic doc martens!) he made the photos fun and not a chore. He was also EVERYWHERE we literally got photos that just happened in the moment and they are just beautiful. I couldn’t recommend Simon enough!! He was amazing! And if your wondering how long do you need your photographer I wish I had booked him for longer as I didn’t want the photos to end! 10/10
Simon was one of the best decision we made when planning our
Simon was awesome and the photos that he took are fantastic!
From the get go Simon met with us to get a feel for what we wanted and to explain a few things about how it works. Throughout the day he was always on point, directing people clearly and ensuring the formal shots were done with "no floating hands". Yet the photos that have blown us away were the more natural shots and the more artistic shots which Simon's judgement was so good on.
He blended into the background when not doing formal shots and gained some truly wonderful character filled photos of touching moments, which we will treasure for many years.
Thank you Simon, you were one of the best decisions we made when we were planning our wedding!😁
You should hire Simon too!
We will try to keep this short, but to save you reading the whole review here's the headline - Simon is absolutely awesome and we believe he would be a great addition to your wedding. In the words of the maid of honour when she saw the first collection of our wedding photos "wow Simon is brilliant, he really knows what he is doing!".
Simon has been a delight at every single stage, from our first email getting in touch, to our engagement shoot, to the all important wedding day itself. Neither of us would claim to be confident in front of the camera, yet Simon put us and our guests at ease with his relaxed and funny nature.
We are extremely grateful for all of the hard work Simon has put in to make sure our wedding day was captured perfectly. Throughout our contact with Simon he has always gone the extra mile and his enthusiasm for getting the perfect shot is certainly catching! His commitment to the cause actually landed him in a river, or two, and we love him for that.
Simon clearly has a passion and a talent for what he does, this shines through in all of the pictures he took on our wedding day. We are so pleased we chose Simon and
could honestly write an essay on the reasons you should hire Simon to be your photographer. We definitely think you should choose Simon and we are sure you will love him too.
Mr & Mrs Lashbrook

You have captured so many fantastic shots and truly helped to provide some vey special memories of the day.
Thanks again so much, we will treasure them forever. We will be definitely recommending you to our friends!
We can’t recommend Simon highly enough…
We can’t recommend Simon highly enough he wasn’t just our wedding photographer he was one of our guests and now part of the family! We live in London but Devon is our happy place so when we decided to get married in Ilfracombe we knew we had to start searching the internet for local people. As soon as we saw Simon’s website and his photos we knew he would be perfect. From the moment we met he put us at ease and explained everything that we needed to think about for our photos. It was never any trouble to meet us when we visited the venue a year before the day and even with the sea mist and rain he took some amazing Engagement photos for us. Simon was simply amazing the day of the wedding he took away my nerves as soon as I saw him, made me laugh, told us exactly how to pose to get the best photos he stayed with us right to the end to get all the precious photos of our flower girl and page boy and all our guests having a fantastic time on the dance floor. Our day flew past but it was amazing to relive it looking through the photos they are simply stunning and we can’t wait to get them on display. Simon we will never be able to thank you enough for capturing such special memories you are a friend for life and we hope to see you soon all our love Sarah and Simon xx
