    A Life-Giving Experience

    We were immensely blessed that Simon agreed to capture our wedding. As a couple that was doing a destination wedding in the mountains of North Carolina, he made our decisions incredibly succinct. He has a natural giftedness to capture your day in an authentic way. With our large families & wedding party as the centerpiece, he was generously kind with his personality and craft.... all of us (yes, even outside the bride and groom) will be cherishing his work for a lifetime to come. Please, please do all that you can to book him as the photographer for this once-in-a-lifetime moment!

    Thank you, Simon!!!

    We are SOO excited to share our genuine thoughts on Simon Anthony Photography! We are from Florida and were planning our dream destination wedding in the NC mountains all by online research. I somehow by pure luck stumbled on Simon and initially just had such a good gut feeling about him. We scheduled an initial zoom call and I was proven right by how quickly and easily we connected with him and how it felt like we had known him for so much longer than just this one zoom call! Although he was initially a little over our budget, we knew we had to book him and went for it! His patience with my questions and thoughts were so appreciated during the wedding planning process and he made us feel so at ease during our last planning call right before the wedding day!

    Come our big day, Simon fit so well with our group and felt like he was apart of our family/friends group so quickly. Everyone had so many good things to say about him and we quickly felt comfortable and natural in front of the camera with him. Our wedding day photos were beyond our expectations and perfect. He even delivered ALL our final photos much quicker than anticipated which was such a surprise and meant a lot to us!!! If you are considering hiring Simon, I cannot recommend him enough. He was definitely one of our best decisions made!!! Thank you so much for everything!!

    The best photographer in the world

    Simon is by far the best and most amazing person and photographer!!! My husband and I were nervous about being in front of a camera during our wedding but Simon made all of those nerves melt away. He guided us through the whole session and captured the best photos ever. He is super personable and would highly recommend him for anything.

    Simon is THE BEST, Highly Recommend

    Simon is the absolute best!! We seriously cannot say enough amazing things about him. Having Simon photograph our wedding was such a huge part of making our day absolutely perfect. Not only is he super professional and organized in all of his communication and planning leading up to the big day, but he’s also just a dang cool guy. We had so much fun at both our engagement session and of course at the wedding. He sets the perfect vibe every time by bringing the best energy. He makes you feel calm and relaxed, but also hyped up and energized at the same time. You can tell he is so passionate about what he does and goes above and beyond. Like he even laid down in the dirt to get a cool shot of us with the trees above us. Seriously he is THE BEST. And all of the photos are absolutely gorgeous! The photos perfectly captured our personalities and our relationship. Looking through the photos I can just still feel the energy of the day and how much fun it was. He captured so many special moments, memories to last a lifetime. 12/10 stars! Highly recommend working with Simon, easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

    The perfect photographer for our elopement

    Simon is the best choice for your wedding photographer! We initially booked him for a traditional wedding and then switched gears a few months later and told him that we wanted to elope instead. He was incredibly flexible and willing to adjust his plans. And he made our elopement absolutely perfect! It was cold, windy, and rainy, but Simon was still game to hike with us and run all over taking pictures. My husband and I are both a little awkward in front of the camera, but we felt completely at ease with him and he really captured our genuine joy and love. The photos are stunning, and we can't recommend him enough!

    Best in the business!

    I can't say enough good things about our wedding photographer, Simon. From the moment we met him, we knew we had made the right choice. He was professional, friendly, and had a clear vision for our big day.
    We received our photos back promptly and were absolutely blown away by the quality and attention to detail. Simon captured every emotion and moment of our special day in a way that truly captured the love and joy of the occasion.
    But beyond the beautiful photos, Simon was a true pleasure to work with. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process and was always there to answer any questions or concerns we had. Somehow he managed to strike the perfect balance by making us feel like he was an old friend who we could laugh and have fun with…but the responsible friend who is always on top of it and takes care of everything so we didn’t have to worry. He truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect and we will treasure the photos he took for a lifetime.
    We are so grateful to have had Simon as our photographer, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for a talented and reliable photographer for their wedding day—he’s the best in the business. Thank you, Simon, for all that you do!

    5 STARS!!!!!!!!!

    We could not have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day!!!! When looking for a photographer, we wanted someone to not only capture all the important moments of our wedding, but also to have fun with us! Simon was loved by every guest and we received so many compliments about all of our wedding photos. Communication and planning with him was a breeze. If you're looking for a photographer who loves what they do and will be a hype man on your big day, I absolutely recommend Simon Anthony Photography!!!!!!

    Friendly, professional, and quick turn-around!

    Simon was just what we were looking for! He was professional, managed his time well (we chose a shorter shooting timeframe) and still managed to capture all of the big highlights of our amazing day. He has already sent us some photo previews about a week after our wedding, which we really appreciate, so we love the editing that he has already done. We're so glad we went with Simon!

    Simon is the BEST!!!

    Simon is an AMAZING photographer!! He not only captures the best photos but is so fun to work with. He really makes you feel comfortable being photographed and makes the whole experience really fun. I never thought I'd enjoy being photographed but he made both our engagement and wedding day photos such a great experience. We have so many great high quality photos/memories thanks to him! He helped make our whole wedding day so special! I highly recommend using Simon!

    Super personable, kindhearted and gentle soul! We loved having Simon capture our big day!!

    Simon was recommended to us from the venue as a preferred vendor, and he was nothing short of amazing on our wedding day. I was fortunate to book him almost 18 months in advance and boy was I lucky. His rates were very competitive and he was responsive when I asked for his vendor recommendations as well as prompt to answer any questions I had. We had multiple phone conversations, but due to this being a destination wedding I met him on my wedding day about 15 minutes before “getting ready photos”. He was kind, patient, and efficient. I had a list of must take photos I wanted to complete prior to the ceremony and he staged and took beautiful photos of the wedding party faster than I can take a picture of my just my dog. He had the list in his hand and always looking around for the best shot based off the surroundings. During the night he was EVERYWHERE, capturing so many candid photos which mean so much to us: from the dance floor, to sunset photos, to the sparkler exit. He even got some professional photos complete for our friends at the venue. My husband and I had never gotten professional photos taken before, but Simon knew what to say to get us to laugh or place us in poses that didn’t feel forced or awkward. Despite meeting him only that day Simon’s genuine personality made us feel so comfortable and at ease.

    If you’re looking for a professional photographer, look no further than Simon Anthony! You’ll be as lucky and fortunate as us for choosing him!!

    A Friend First, Photographer Second

    Where to begin? I've known Simon for the better part of a decade so once my fiancee (now wife) and I started our wedding planning I knew for a fact that he would be our first call. LUCKILY I caught him on a free Saturday (one of only a few left this year) that lined up with our venue dates. We are beyond blessed and forever grateful for the work that he did. Not only was his photography top notch, but also his professionalism, fun loving nature, and attention to detail. He went above and beyond to make our guests, friends, and family feel comfortable. He completely overdelivered on his work from A - Z and I could not recommend him more. 10/10. 5 Stars. Don't think about it, JUST BOOK HIM!

    Talented Photographer who makes you feel comfortable

    Simon was exceptional to work with. I hate having pictures taken and often feel uncomfortable doing so but Simon made it easy. We got our first sample pictures that very night and our generous sneak peek 3 weeks later. We could not be happier we hired Simon and will do so any other time we need a photographer!

    Simon Anthony Review

    Simon was awesome. Although we only scheduled him for a brief two hour window, he was attentive and enthusiastic throughout the planning and scheduling process, and we never felt like we got anything other than professional and skillful treatment. And of course the photographs came out perfect. Hire this man!

    Amazing Experience!

    Simon was incredible. His ability to work with people is awesome and he put us both at ease! We enjoyed our elopement much more because of Simon and will always look back fondly on our photoshoot. Not only was the experience great, but the photographs are amazing and will always be cherished. You can't go wrong with Simon!

    FIVE STARS for Simon Anthony

    FIVE STARS!! Simon is as good as it gets. His skill with the camera is matched only by his ability to create and maintain a photoshoot environment where we felt comfortable to be ourselves. The whole experience was FUN! We just received our photos and we are BLOWN AWAY. P.S. Especially if you want a nature backdrop, Simon is who you want.

    Best wedding photographer!

    We could not be more happy about the beautiful wedding photographs that Simon took! He did such an amazing job at capturing our big day for us. The pictures were almost like an art work and were exactly what we envisioned. He was so easy to work 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!!!

    We could not be happier!

    Simon is the best! We are so happy with our wedding photos! He was so accommodating, so responsive, and the pictures turned out unbelievable! We even booked him over 2 days and each time he was there scouting the place out for the perfect photos before we even knew he was there! He even hiked a mountain with us in freezing temps to get the perfect photos. There are just no words to describe how happy we are.

    So talented!!

    Simon is down to earth and connects with his families! We not only LOVE our photos that he took of our family but we had so much fun during our session with him. He is so talented and makes you feel like yourself in front of the camera.

    Simon Anthony Photography's reply:

    Aww thank you so much Kayleen! I love your adorable family and had such a great time doing your family mini session. SO excited to watch our families grow together!

    Efficiently perfect

    Simon delivered such meaningful pictures!! My family is big and chaotic and somehow he managed to capture INCREDIBLE photos where my nephews (who were literally running around the woods making dinosaur noises) looked like nature catalog models! I’m telling everyone about Simon Anthony Photography. Our family photo session was efficient and perfect!

    Wedding vows

    Between wedding, newborn photos, and life, I have had quite a few professional photography sessions; however, no one compares to Simon and his work. When we relocated to the area it took me a very long time to find a new photographer. But thanks 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! ❤️

    Just what we wanted!!

    We had Simon photograph our maternity photos and my goodness, he brought tears to my eyes! Not only did he capture my vision..in a stunning location..but he made us feel at ease. A huge plus, for me, he brought music! Really put myself and my husband 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!

    Wonderful, stress-free experience!

    My husband and I actually hired Simon for a maternity photo shoot, and we are so happy we did! Simon was helpful throughout the ENTIRE process. He helped us pick a location, time, and coached us through poses (because we’re definitely not models). 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!

    Simon Anthony Photography's reply:

    Aw you guys! Thank you SO much for all of your kind words. It was such a privilege to be able to capture your maternity photos for you. You two are going to be such incredible parents and I couldn't be happier for you. Cheers!
