Testimonials 2008

"We would not hesitate to recommend Simon to photograph your special day. He took so many fantastic shots at our wedding that we had trouble choosing the ones for our album! On the day we hardly knew he was there and yet nobody was left unphotographed! He took the time to visit the venue before our big day, picking out the best spots for photos, he really listened and understood what we wanted. We both felt totally relaxed with him and it shows in the photos. We are so lucky, we have amazing memories and superb pictures to go with them! Thank you so much Simon...."

"Simon provided an excellent service for our wedding. He was very calm and professional. His crowd control and people management skills are excellent and this was commented on by a number of our guests.
The photos he took were outstanding and the package he offered was just what we were looking for. We were not concerned about Simon providing an album but were keen to have a CD with our pictures on so we could make copies easily."
Andrew and Alexis -
"Simon was very professional in every aspect; the preparation before our Wedding day, the organisation on the day itself and the exceptional after service. The quality of the photos was stunning, and the effort that Simon put into 'touching up' the photos was brilliant. We would thoroughly recommend Simon as he focuses on capturing the moment and producing quality prints, rather than trying to just sell fancy albums, which is what a lot of other photographers seemed to do."

"I cannot recommend Allinthemind Photography highly enough. Simon Young photographed our wedding in August 2008 and he produced some excellent results, both my wife and I were thrilled with his results. Throughout the process Simon was extremely flexible and helpful, including visiting our home and the location prior to the shoot. Throughout the day his relaxed, unobtrusive, yet professional manner allowed him to put our guests at their ease and get some great naturalistic shots. We avoided the hour and a half spent at most weddings where the photographer marshals the guests into x number of forced poses with everyone getting fed up. Simon clearly has an eye for composing a great picture and it shows in his work. His price was at the lower end of mid-range and extremely competitive. Aftercare was also excellent, we got the pictures we wanted and free web hosting, with no hard sell or hidden "extras". You will not be disappointed if you hire Allinthemind photography."

"Our wedding day was definitely the happiest day of our lives together so far, you hear a lot of people say that but we had worked hard to ensure that all the pieces of the jigsaw were in place, everything was fantastic and a lot of treasured memories were made. We wanted our day to be informal, fun and reflecting our personalities and needed a Photographer that would not only reflect this in the pictures but would be a part of our celebration – for us that means a party atmosphere with photos that not only let you see people having a good time but you are able to feel it!
Simon did this with bells on! I’ve been to weddings in the past where guests have got weary of waiting for the seemingly endless parade of boring uninspired line ups that seem to be the norm or if you are involved in the immediate wedding party having to stand around for an absolute age often in the cold whilst posing in a way totally lacking originality with equally bored people who just want to be back with the party. This did not happen on our big day, we were able to enjoy every bit of our wedding without feeling we’d missed out or been unceremoniously plucked away from our guests and indeed having the pictures taken only enhanced the fun atmosphere. Simon’s photos show the whole story of the day from getting ready in the morning to our last dance late in the evening, not just the ‘bit in the middle’ which most couples tend to favour! When we went to see them and make our selection for our wedding album I cried as they brought to life the whole day all over again.
As the weeks pass and you only have your photos to bring back your wedding into sharp focus, we can’t stress enough how important it is to get your Photographer right as we can look at our pictures and remember everything. We would highly recommend Simon for your wedding or any special occasion, he has a natural ability to make you feel relaxed, enjoy yourself and forget the lense is pointing at you as well as being an experienced and refreshingly imaginative Photographer – thanks Simon you’re an absolute star!"
