Simon Stewart Photography

I’m Simon Stewart — a Sussex-based wedding photographer working from a studio in East Grinstead and photographing weddings across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and London. For more than a decade I’ve focused entirely on wedding photography, building a way of working that balances documentary storytelling with a lightly traditional approach so your wedding photos feel honest, elegant and enduring. Why choose me? I believe the best wedding photographs are the ones that happen naturally. My style is relaxed and unobtrusive: I blend into the background to capture real moments as they unfold, yet I provide gentle direction when it comes to portraits and group shots so everyone looks their best without taking time away from the day. Couples often tell me they hardly noticed I was there — and it’s those candid, unposed moments that most frequently become the images they cherish. How I work with you matters as much as the images I create. From an initial conversation in the studio (by appointment) through to your wedding day, I focus on understanding your priorities, timeline and the spirit of your celebration. I encourage a pre-wedding session where helpful — it’s a friendly, low-pressure way to get used to being photographed and see how I work, so you feel comfortable on the big day. On your wedding day I aim to be calm, adaptable and organised, capturing the atmosphere, the details and the fleeting emotions that tell your story. My approach is shaped by a love of natural light and composition. Whether your day is in a country barn, a manor house or a coastal venue, I look for the light that makes each scene sing and the candid moments that make each wedding distinct. The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that feel timeless and personal — images you’ll return to for years. I also offer careful image presentation choices — from handcrafted albums to framed prints and display options — so your photographs can be enjoyed in the way that suits you best. If you’re planning a wedding in or around East Grinstead and want wedding photography that’s authentic, relaxed and beautifully crafted, I’d love to hear about your plans and find your story together.
