Simon Anthony Photography

mony and reception afterwards. He pays attention to the details so you don’t have to. Simon checked in with us multiple times before the wedding to make sure everything would be perfect and exactly what we wanted. We are so glad we chose Simon as our photographer, one of the best decisions we made! Thanks Simon!

livered them so quickly and they look incredible. For us, booking a good photographer was important to catch those memories, and Simon went above and beyond what we could have hoped for.

possible possible throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. I'm already looking for another excuse to shoot with Simon. He always returned our photos by the promised time, if not before. Honestly, the only difficult part of our experience was trying to decide which photos to print and hang because we had SO MANY favorites to choose between. We were so lucky to find him!

were lucky enough to stumble across Simon . From their first interaction via Zoom to our magical proposal moment, it was clear that my husband had made the perfect choice. Simon captured our engagement perfectly and immediately made us both feel at ease throughout our entire shoot. We knew right then that he had to be the photographer for our big day. He communicated with us clearly throughout the whole process and catered perfectly to our preferences and to our style. Our entire wedding party even commented on how much they enjoyed working with Simon and his team on our wedding day. And our pictures were just perfect! We couldn’t ask for a better experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone looking for a great photographer!

rtable in photos but Simon is so tactful he captures those moments without you even realizing he was there. I had people asking me if we planned certain shots and I said no, he is just talented! The pictures are all so natural and no awkward staging. Our event timeline also shifted THAT VERY DAY and he did not miss a thing! I’ll cherish these memories forever, highly recommend.

nteraction. He did such a good job of helping my husband and I feel at ease during our couple shoot -- all of the pictures are so, so lovely! I would choose him again in a heartbeat to photograph any life events or celebrations!

e process. We originally chose Simon for his photography and editing style but in the end we realized we really chose him because he made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Personally, I'm more used to being behind the camera myself, and my partner isn't particularly comfortable having his pictures taken so we were both a little nervous, but we knew we were in great hands after our first chat with Simon right before we hired him. Every shot ended up looking so effortless and candid, which is exactly what we wanted. Even the posed shots felt and looked natural because Simon truly takes the time to personalize your experience and tailor it for perfectly captured moments you'll cherish forever! It goes without saying that we would 1000% recommend Simon and will be using his services in the future.

ception! He kept everything fun and lighthearted (even on a rainy wedding day morning). I would absolutely recommend booking Simon if you want a one of a kind wedding day photography experience!!!!

my husband and I took with just Simon was my favorite part of the whole day. The three of us just felt like friends hanging out, allowing us awkward posers to chill for a bit. His eye for capturing raw emotion and (my complicated) family dynamics were spot on, and holy cow.....the efficiency in taking those posed family pics that only grandma wants was *chef's kiss* perfection. Truly truly, if you are lucky enough to find yourself on Simon's vendor profile, wondering if you should book him, I promise you do not want to hesitate.

ing day all over again (aka we were both in tears again :)). He did an amazing job of capturing the candid moments, which we loved!! Not only is Simon an incredible photographer but he is also an incredible person! Throughout the whole process, Simon felt like an old friend - so easy to talk to and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. Simon was so communicative, quick to respond, flexible, and kind. During our wedding, he blended in so well and we barely noticed he was there. We still cannot get over how beautiful our photos are and could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding!! We love Simon!!

us into the beauty of the surroundings when capturing the day, ensuring all our requests were met all the while. He caught candid moments of our friends and family, that we just HAD to print and share. He kept the atmosphere light, but efficient when the picture taking had to be organized. He will feel like a well placed tour guide on your journey towards married life! This guy knows what he's doing, if you were unsure by peeking at his work.

great moments with friends and family as well as the light of the morning outside. Extremely happy with his services!

kindest people ever. He was so sure to make sure he captured all of the things we wanted and met with us before the wedding to discuss details. He was so calm and helpful the day of the wedding, and getting to hang out with him so much during the day was so great. He has such a cool and calm presence and I really feel he helped the day go so smoothly in conjunction with our wedding planner. If you want wedding photos that you will literally be in awe of every time you look at them, Simon is 100% the right choice!

und Simon, because he was exactly who were looking for! He did an amazing job communicating with my wife and I before the date, and made sure he took the time to get to know us and helped us put together a plan for getting all the photos we wanted. I can't recommend Simon enough; 5/5 for sure!

who you will entrust with capturing the very heart and soul of your special day. Look no further then Simon Anthony. Not only do his photographs radiate excellence, form and focus, but so does the human behind the lens. Honestly, the intention behind his work, how he conducts himself, and his mastery with a camera will be the highlight of your day. So throw away any notion of expense, and choose a kind human who will bring nothing but excellence and finesse to memories that are to be preserved forever. Thank you Simon, from the bottom of our hearts.

beyond to deliver. At our engagement shoot, we already felt like we had been friends with Simon for years! By the time our wedding came around, it was a relief knowing he was there to capture every moment. He made us feel so comfortable and brought out the best of me and my husband in front of the camera (not an easy task for us)! We continue to get so many compliments on the quality, colors, and vibe of our photos. We are blessed to have had Simon on our special day!! We will absolutely reach out to him for all of our future photo occasions! Thank you a million times over, Simon!

gaged, we were looking for a photographer to take our engagement photos in the mountains in Asheville. I searched for a while because we had a budget and really didn’t want to deter from it. I came across Simon on the Knot and he had just started out his photography business less than a year prior. I was grateful he had various resources to view his work and I knew he was who I wanted to go with based on this. He also offered an “a la cart” option when choosing what you wanted for your photos as opposed to an entire package which was wonderful. When we met for the first time for our engagement photos, he was super chill and natural at photography. At the time, my husband and I were expecting it to be awkward considering we aren’t used to getting photos taken of us professionally but it wasn’t like that at all! He was incredibly thorough with his work from the spots he took us to to the poses which felt natural to even the amount of photos he took. His turnaround time was super fast too! For our wedding, it was a no brainer to go with him once again and I’m so glad we did. He met with us via zoom the week prior to discuss what he was planning on doing with the way the day was set up and was a master at his craft. The day of the wedding was so long and he was there for about 7 hours (poor guy!). He had a whole schedule to get everything we wanted in and even got there early to scope out spots on the property of the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville (our wedding location). The whole time he, again, was so chill and just went with the flow of the day but captured everything! Again, he was incredibly thorough and just made the day so memorable. When we got the photos back, I relived the whole wedding day again and they literally brought tears to my eyes. My husband was so impressed and happy with the way they came out as well. Simon is the nicest, sweetest, and calmest professional who has personality and a great eye. I HIGHLY highly recommend him for your engagement, wedding, or any photos you need taken. You won’t regret it! 💜

captured us as a couple. Simon made us feel comfortable in front of the camera with his lighthearted demeanor and we really had a fun time at the day after session.

album it’s like I’m transported back to that very moment. I can’t thank him enough for his work. You’d be a fool to book anyone else for your wedding day.

again! Simon makes you feel comfortable with his style, and helps you open up for the best pictures possible to remember your day to the fullest. He gave us two pictures the same night of the wedding that we could share right away, and a generous amount of sneak peek pictures in good time, even in peak wedding season! We don't have one bad thing to say about him and would highly recommend him to any couples in the Asheville area.

day on the wedding day, it was such an easy and stress free process. The pictures are better than I ever could have imagined and we are SO glad we chose Simon. He keeps you informed the whole process and is always available to answer questions. My bridesmaids all loved him, so much that one of them is talking about booking him for her wedding. He really is so cool, down to earth, and just all around the best. BOOK HIM I PROMISE you will be so happy you did. Thank you Simon for literally everything.

d he was SO kind and helpful. He took time out of his super full schedule to get us copies. When we got his photos, we were floored. His editing is spot on, and he got some poses that we absolutely adored. We love going back and looking at his photos to remember our wedding day. Don't question it, book him!!

ading up to our wedding, he was very friendly, accommodating and helpful - it felt like he was one of our old friends right off the bat. He put us both at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early to scout out some great photo spots and was so wonderful & cooperative in working with our other vendors. He made up for every ounce of guidance/support that we should've had from our other vendors, which he didn't need to do. We completely forgot our shot list and had a bridal party of 19 - Any other photographer would've hated clients like us! But instead, he put us at ease with his graciousness, captured all the shots we wanted, ones we didn't even know we wanted, as well as some incredible candid moments we had no idea anyone could capture. Unfortunately we had some unforeseen medical emergencies occur on our wedding day, which took us away from the fun for quite some time. Simon was amazing in making sure we were taken care of and offered his support for whatever we needed, but also gave us some space to handle things. He made sure that the party kept going, that the wedding guests continued having fun, all while capturing the fun moments we missed during the reception. So many of our friends and family have complimented us on Simon's professionalism, kindness and personality on the wedding day - Let alone the many we've received on the photos we've seen thus far. He was so flexible and accommodating, timely and hardworking. Honestly, we're pretty sure we're Simon's #1 fans with the amount we've raved about him to our family and friends (& given out his info so they can book him in the future). It really meant the world to us to have him there to capture all of our special moments - even the raw ones that were tougher than most on their wedding day. The photos we've seen just from the teaser have brought us to tears. We truly couldn't be more grateful for Simon and can't wait to use him for photoshoots in the future. He truly is the absolute best in the business.

rofessional on the day of our wedding, but made us and our guests at our intimate event feel comfortable in front of the camera. And the pictures turned out PERFECT!! Our day was laid back and full of joy, and he really truly captured that. I cannot recommend him enough.

uple . He made us feel so at ease on our wedding day and captured every single special moment. We love all the photos he took. If you are looking for a wedding photographer- Simon is the best ! Incredibly grateful to have had someone this talented capture the most special moment in our life!

e offered, and his willingness to go the extra mile (literally...as he hiked with us at two different locations in the Linville Gorge!). Simon provided us a wide range of pictures from our 5hr session, capturing our moments together in the wildness and beauty of the mountains and waterfalls. Simon's personality immediately put us at ease being the center of attention, as we could just be US. He has a natural talent for suggesting the perfect backdrops we passed along the way, as well as disappearing into the background and capturing very true and natural moments we didn't even know would be in our photo gallery. Another plus, the gallery app is very user friendly and allowed us to easily mark our favorites and download photos multiple times if needed. Simon delivered as promised, in time for us to create a slideshow for a reception party at home 1 month after. He provided sneak peeks within less than a week. We love the service Simon provided so much that we have booked another hiking sunset session in the near future. We HIGHLY recommend Simon Anthony Photography.

. And as a plus, he was super fun to hang out with while he was taking photos!

imon’s artistic style was perfect for our outdoor wedding and he really knew how to capture perfect outdoor photos of us and all of our friends and family. I could keep writing more- nothing but good things to say!!

ould certainly recommend him for weddings and I would not hesitate to use him for other occasions in the future!

hed out, communicated well, and kept the process organized. On our elopement day, he was prompt & professional, but also fun to be around, and brought out the best in us with his suggestions. The photos turned out beautifully, and we will treasure them always.

or not to hire Simon, dont! He is extremely talented and will make sure your day is perfect!

k with, very nice personality, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Asheville we strongly recommend Simon!!!

than we could have ever expected. To us, the role of a wedding photographer is more than just taking great photos. The photographer has to work seamlessly with the entire party to help create and capture moments and memories that will last a lifetime. That is exactly what Simon did. After the wedding, all of our family members went out of their way to tell us how much they enjoyed working and sharing the day with him. We recommend him to everyone we know and will definitely be back for more in the future. We are so grateful to have found ourselves an amazing photographer and a friend all at once!

ce and commitment to capture the best moments is such a blessing. Simon made the process completely smooth and easy, he made sure we didn’t feel stress about pictures and was extremely easy to talk to. My wife and I aren’t huge on taking pictures or exactly what to do or pose, he took care of all that and got us photos we can’t wait to display in our home. 1000% recommend to use him for all your photography needs. My wife and I will definitely be reaching out for future photo shoots!

g day. When we were looking though our pictures it truly felt like we were reliving that amazing day. He was great at posing us naturally to get pictures that truly captured the way we feel about each other. Simon really cares about his clients and takes time to get to know you. On our big day it felt like Simon was one of our good friends attending the wedding and hanging out with us. All of our guests were also impressed with how personable Simon was. Simon was an amazing addition to our wedding and we can not boast about him enough. We recommend Simon's services for anybody's big day!

all while giving the illusion that we weren't freezing our butts off! After our engagement photos I tried to hire Simon for our wedding in Maine, but he's the best so he was already booked for another wedding...10/10 would recommend!

to riff off of it, and overall just made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera

ur ideas, and willing to work around whatever we needed. He just makes your special day feel good and you don't even think about the guy behind the camera following you around taking your picture. :) He felt like a long time friend and I can't imagine our special day without him. 10 out of 10 would book him again for future big events in our lives. I am sure my husband is even going to write a review we loved Simon that much. Thank you for your beautiful work, amazing personality, and for laughing with us all day Simon.

before hand, just before the big day, and had a schedule and a list to make sure we got everything we were looking for. He stuck to his time frame too of getting the pictures back to us. The sneak peaks were amazing and kept us eager for the rest of them. He has a natural touch of being able to capture the nature with the natural beauty of the event. He took time to walk around the venue before greeting us so he could have an idea of what images and locations he would want to take pictures. He went above and beyond our expectations and we are so happy with the outcome. Thank you for capturing our big day and making sure we got the images we can cherish forever.

everyone that day. It is so rewarding to see this played back again for us. We truly can't thank you enough. These photos are all so astonishing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We could keep thanking you but please know that you are so appreciated and that we feel like we hit the lottery by having you as our photographer. I cannot recommend Simon enough to anyone who needs a photographer. His personality, skills, and creativity are all exceptional.

ofessional and overall person, but I’ll keep it simple. The entire process was easy and fun! It was impressive that he was able to capture my husband and I plus our three crazy dogs. Best of all, we ended up with incredible (better than I ever imagined) maternity/family photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommend without a single reservation!

ce we could have asked for. We will always look back fondly on this day with our photos!

otos and we are BLOWN AWAY. P.S. Especially if you want a nature backdrop, Simon is who you want.

m!

the Asheville area for food and drink too :) He is incredibly friendly, professional and the photos are TO DIE FORRRRRR. My partner and I are completely awkward in front of a camera but he was able to create such a comfortable environment/experience resulting in the most beautiful pictures. Cannot stress this enough - if you are looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of your love, is down for adventure / spontaneity, and is actually FUNN to hang with for an afternoon, Simon is your guy :)

usband at ease. If I could go back to our wedding day, I would have definitely reached out to him! Overall..Simon has a real talent and is a great spirit to be around. He really cares about his passion and his clients. We will definitely reach out to him for any future special occasions!

s to a late night Instagram search, I stumbled upon Simon’s page. We booked him for our 5 year anniversary vow renewal and he was AMAZING to work with. So kind, funny, and flexible (we had to reschedule due to rain). We received SO many gorgeous photos and I’m blown away by his authenticity & professionalism. His website, booking, payment, and photo download process was a breeze. I cannot recommend him enough! ❤️

g job capturing the love we felt for each other while simultaneously highlighting this beautiful area that we live in! I could not recommend him enough! 10/10 for experience and photographs

it for the wedding!

nt. And of course the photographs came out perfect. Hire this man!

ts, to beautiful landscapes that are often overlooked by the naked eye! We highly recommend working with Simon for capturing your special moments in life. We will certainly use him again in the future for ours!!

s). He was also flexible because the weather was a concern. We felt a little needy because the day of the shoot we were a tad disorganized and also had our pup with us. Simon never once made us feel rushed or judged. He even gave us peace of mind while we were looking away for certain poses and let us know our pup was a-ok sitting off to the side. Overall, it was such and easy, pleasant experience. If you want a warm photographer that is friendly, patient, professional and familiar with the outdoors, I highly recommend Simon!

rkway being closed. Simon went above and beyond with helping to find a new picturesque location day of engagement. He also set up at the spot where the proposal took place an hour ahead of time in order to get the perfect shot. He most certainly did, and we could not love these photos more! I highly recommend him for any couple/wedding shoot. He has a great energy and makes you feel at ease. Also, if you look at his Instagram account @simonanthonyphotography his work will speak for itself!

timate micro-wedding feel even more fun and happy. Before we met Simon in person, he took time on his own to go to our venue and check out different spots where he best envisioned us for photographs, and really aligned with us on what our personal visions were. He has a very cool eye for shots and such a love of nature, just like we have. He had such beautiful ideas that came out to be incredibly stunning pictures and we had a blast the entire time. We ended the night with an outstanding sunset that he captured SO perfectly. The photos are insane! I was in tears looking through them. He even sent us all of our photos edited within just a few days. I'm so happy we found him, we cannot praise him enough. Will be using him again for any future photoshoots!!

re stunning. We got them back really quickly and we've received so many compliments from our friends & family! We love our photos and will definitely hire Simon again for any future photo needs!
