Some of the recent reviews for Melbourne wedding photographer Wedding Snapper Photography:

Wonderful! We can’t praise Simon highly enough. He created a relaxed and warm atmosphere that even our guests commented on and produced exceptionally beautiful shots in trying circumstances: a true Melbourne downpour; 60ml of rain! We have a beautiful collection of posed (but not stale) portrait shots rounded off with gorgeous candid shots of the day – which we’re sending with the thank you cards! Thank you Simon, we had a fantastic day with you and you have given us photos which make us smile and laugh.

Just BRILLIANT!!!! Book him before he gets booked out!

After meeting with Simon, we didn’t have to think twice about booking him for our wedding. His relaxed, professional style was exactly what we were looking for & he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He listened to what we wanted from our photographs & was was more than happy to accommodate any ideas we put forward.
As neither of us particularly enjoy having our picture taken we were not looking forward to that part of the day but Simon made it so easy & painless it became fun! Apart from the group shots we’d requested, he was so discreet we weren’t even aware of him being there, especially during the ceremony. But having seen the results, he was definitely in amongst it all, capturing us, our guests & the setting perfectly. We now have an amazing collection of captured moments to remind us of the fantastic day we had. The only complaint is how hard it’s going to be to deciding which ones to include in an album!

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Simon to anyone looking for a photographer – his work is fantastic, our guests all loved him & the praise for his photos just keeps on coming in from our family & friends. What more could you want?

Gill & Ross, Albert Park

Simon is truly an outstanding photographer and I highly recommend him to others. From the initial meeting to the wedding day, Simon was always approachable, friendly, professional and willing to answer any question or help out in any way. He is an amazing photographer but is also very humble and doesn’t take himself too seriously. This was crucial in helping us feel relaxed and comfortable and ensuring that the photos were candid and natural. The photos were perfect and the dvd presentation beautiful. It was an absolute pleasure to have Simon at our wedding.

Fiona & Jeremiah, Sydney

Simon is sheer genius! For months we googled and researched so many photographers and came across Simon. Our photos and video were our top priority. He was the only meeting we had and after seeing his shots and his relaxed and professional attitude we had no doubt we had made the right choice. After seeing our photos tonight we are nothing but ecstatic about Simon’s work. He was able to capture priceless moments and captured our wedding and all it’s emotion. Natural and real was what we wanted and that is what we got. We don’t even know where to start choosing photos for our wall as the options are endless!

Simon always put in the extra effort, even attending our rehearsal! We know we never would of got that service with another photographer. You spend the most time with your photographer on the day and it was an absolute pleasure to do so with Simon. His work with Chris Grose (our videographer) was insightful and artistic and they work seamlessly to produce an amazing product!

Simon, thank-you for your fantastic work!!!!!!!

Teresa and Alex, Reservoir

Well and truly beyond all expectations.
Having decided to get married less than six months after becoming engaged I was amazed to find Simon and thought his offering was too good to be true.
Simon came to us to chat through our expectations and was very open, honest and interested in hearing about our plans for our day.
This friendly, candid and relaxed personality completely matched his easy going, professional style on the day.
Not only did Simon take amazing photos of us and our bridal party but also of the venue, our guests and their children. So many people have commented on how “lovely” he was and of his ability to capture the true spirit and fun of our wedding day.

By the end of the day Simon was on a first name basis with so many guests it was like he was part of our family! Simon made an effort to fit in so well (and naturally did) that he even came along to our after wedding BBQ as a guest!

I really could not recommend Simon highly enough. We could not fault his communication pre-wedding, his efforts and breadth of photos from the day or his fast turn around post wedding.

Wedding photos are always that one thing that you desperately hope will turn out well. The one piece of the wedding that you cherish and hope to one day show children, grand chlidren and so on.
We will forever be grateful to Simon for giving us and our guests some amazing images that will help bring our memories to life for a long, long time.

Jenna & Michael, Black Rock

 Our day was made easy because of how relaxed and professional Simon was. Exactly what we had hoped for. Our photos have turned out exactly as we had hoped, all the photos we wanted and all the random ones we didn’t expect also. Thank you so much Simon.

Steve & Sarah, Healesville

Simon was the first wedding photographer I met with, and whilst initially I had planned to meet with other wedding photographers, I changed my mind after meeting Simon. Simon had a relaxed, friendly and professional approach and I just knew he was the right wedding photographer for our wedding. Simon was very accessible in the lead up to the wedding and was always prompt in responding to any questions we had. He did a great job blending into our family and friends on the day and it was very easy to forget he was there as our photographer. We were extremely delighted with our wedding photos, as they captured our wedding day just as we remembered it. The photos are relaxed and candid and captured our guests naturally, and exceed our expectations. Our guests have also commented on the quality of our wedding photos, with one guest even requesting Simons details for his family portraits. Simon was fantastic as a wedding photographer and we could not recommend Simon more highly.

Sarah & David, Richmond

Simon was excellent. We could not have chosen a more relaxed, competent, friendly and professional photographer for our wedding last year. And his value for money is second to none!
We wanted to hire a photographer who knew his subject, the venue and would be able to develop a set of photos that reflected the fun, friendly & relaxed atmosphere that we had been determined to engender on our special day.
Our request was for him to capture ourselves and all of our guests enjoying the day, each others company and the occasion and setting in which wed taken our vows and then celebrated afterwards.
Simon and his assistant were able to do that perfectly. We could not have been more pleased with the results. And in doing so they were almost unnoticeable, blending in with the guests which resulted in a set of very natural photos, with peoples personalities and enjoyment shining through.

Simon included a portfolio of quality professional photos and an accompanying DVD of the same excellent standard.

We would highly recommend any couples to engage Simon as their wedding photographer.

Brian & Kazu, Moonee Ponds

We wanted professional quality photos with as many relaxed, unposed candid moments as possible for our wedding. After seeing Simon’s work and immediately after meeting him we both agreed to book him without meeting any other photographers. Simon was an absolute pleasure to deal with on the day, he kept us relaxed, handled alot of kids and inclement weather with aplomb and our photos turned out beautifully. We would both absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to cherish the memories of their big day.

Matt & Ellie, Northcote

We hired Simon to do our wedding photos in February. We were after casual, fun photos and he definitely made it that way.
I forgot many times that he was still around during our reception, but every now and then I’d see him pop up somewhere taking pictures of the guests.
He was full of great ideas and our wedding pictures show that.
The presentation of the dvd is great too. Definitely something that will be a memento of our day.
Very well priced. Especially compared to a lot of the other photographers.
I’ll definitely recommend him to anyone.
Thanks!!

Katie & Brad, Hoppers Crossing

We can’t recommend Simon highly enough – he was simply amazing! He was so accommodating and fun to have around. We wanted a mix of candid and more posed photography and Simon was so great at guiding us when we needed it (without being bossy) and also capturing those fantastic moments without us even realising he was there. He actually listened to what we wanted (a lot of photographers didn’t) and worked really hard to give us just that. He is incredibly well priced, especially considering how exceptionally professional, creative and flexible he is. His easy going / calm approach also provided some relief to what can be a very full on day. We were SO pleased with our photographs – he was the PERFECT person to have capturing our special day.

Thanks so much Si, you’re the best!

Bec & Ben, Hawthorn

Simon did a fantastic job as our wedding photographer. We wanted the photos to be casual and natural and we couldn’t have asked for a better result. He was also able to suggest the perfect location for photos before the reception. We were so happy with the DVD that we received. There were so many great shots.

I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Simon to anyone as a wedding photographer. Thanks again!

Abby & Mark, Essendon

Brilliant! We wanted a candid, journalistic type of wedding photography – natural photos of people dancing, smiling, laughing etc, rather than stiff portrait shots. Simon met this brief perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier. It was also great that he just gave us a DVD of all the shots, so we didn’t have to pay ridiculous amounts for prints. He did a great job of blending into the crowd at the reception and capturing people having fun!

Simon only moved from England not that long ago, and I think this is the reason his prices are affordable (to build a business base) – I wouldn’t be surprised if he was charging $$$$$ in a few years time – the quality of his work warrants it. Thanks.

Laura & Dave, Parkville

What can we say about Simon….only wonderfully great things. Not only did Simon take great shots that prove that he is both a talented & professional photographer but he was also very warm & friendly with a great sense of humour.

We have a huge range of photos to choose from that captured our day perfectly & epitomiosed the mood of our wedding. Not only was it fun working with Simon, but he managed to get our disc to us in less than a week so that the family from overseas could see the photos before they flew home. Simon also sent an extra disc for mum who wanted to show it to my brother back in the UK who was unable to attend the wedding…talk about service.

We are absolutely thrilled to bits with our photographs & will treasure them for years into the future.

We cannot thank Simon enough for his great work & would absolutely reccommend him to anyone for their wedding or any special occassion.

Thanks again Simone Al & Phil (fluffy & the bearded bugger)

Al & Phil, Bendigo

Simon took my wedding photos just over 2 weeks ago. I already have the edited images on disc in my hand! He was amazing- unobtrusive on the day. Photographed exactly as we wanted- in a candid style. Nothing too cheesy or posed. It was fun having him shoot us. Very reasonably priced and fast service. Our photos are simply beautiful. He even captured our nearly 2 year old looking half decent…definitely not an easy task! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him to any bride to be for high quality wedding photography.

Charlotte & Lachlan, Upper Ferntree Gully

We simply could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our day. Simon is not only a talented photographer, he is the ultimate professional with a great sense of humour.

It was a bit like having an old friend take the photos on the day! We have such a lovely range of natural, fun and relaxed shots – it will be very hard to choose which one gets pride of place on the wall.

We have also received fantastic feedback from our guests about Simon, with a few requests for his contact details for their own special days.

With a quick turnaround, gorgeous photos and competitive prices, I would highly recommend Simon for any wedding or special event.

Megan & Michael, Glen Waverley

What a amazing photographer! We could not be happier with the outcome of our wedding photos. Simon captured every precious moment of our amazing day and we didn’t even know he was there. We wanted relaxed unposed photos and that was exactly what we got! A real friendly easy going gentleman who fulfilled every crazy request that we asked of him. Do not hesitate in hiring, there are not enough words to describe how happy with you would be with him, he is a true professional. A+++++++++++++++++++

Marita & Vlad, Williamstown

We were recently married 2 weeks ago. The night we arrived back from our honeymoon Simon personally placed our wedding photos in our mailbox. We just couldn’t believe the results. They were perfect and he truly went out of his way to make our day special and find the positive and creative aspects to our special day. We have beautiful memories to share now and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer more professional photographer. Great job Simon. Highly recommended and very reasonable rates. Thanks Simon.

Lin & Charles, Prahran

Thanks to Simon for getting some fantastic photos of our wedding! Things were certainly not made easy for him with 3 year old flower girls and the wind to contend with, but nothing was too hard for him. He was so easy going and made sure we got the shots we wanted; plus we had the photos in our hands so quickly. All this and for such a great price! We couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Sarah & Adam, Mitcham

Thanks so much to Simon for taking such beautiful shots of our wedding. He was prompt, full of fantastic ideas and easy going. We didn’t even notice him taking photos during the ceremony! We wanted our wedding day to be relaxed and casual and Simon managed to capture that effortlessly in our photos. We couldn’t be happier with the end result and for anyone that needs a photographer – he’s your man!

Viktoria & Mick, Hampton Park

Wow! Simon was totally fantastic. He really got what we wanted and that was a small elopement ceremony with no fuss but something that was still special and meaningful. Our photos were gorgeous and Simon was a pleasure to have around on the day. Easygoing and fun. He helped make our day exactly as we wanted it – and now that the day has come and gone we have the most wonderful photos to remember the day by. We loved the natural creative shots and were really thrilled with the results. Many many thanks.

Alisa & Alastair, Port Melbourne

Simon’s photos were fantastic, his manner was professional yet relaxed. His packages were very flexible and we were really happy with the whole service. Thanks heaps!

Elizabeth & David, Brighton

Absolutely, utterly brilliant!
The package was exactly what we wanted – the images on a disc for us to do with what we want. The photos are so amazing – everyone keeps commenting on how wonderful they are, which we agree on wholeheartedly. And Simon made the whole process so enjoyable and painless, and even fun, which I didn’t think was possible.
We will treasure these photos forever, they are of a truly high quality and are much, much better (and cheaper!) than anything else I could find when I was looking.
Can’t recommend Simon highly enough!

Kate & Justin, Richmond
