My name is Simon Hammond and I am a KW based Photographer. I offer an enthusiastic and artistic alternative to the traditional photographic experience.
A well taken photograph offers a time capsule of your most important and memorable events.
I have always had a great appreciation for the composition of a well taken photograph. They capture a mood, a moment or feeling that is ephemeral in nature.
This has grown over time to become a passion, and It is with this passion that I approach all of my work.
I offer professional, courteous, and timely service, with an attention to detail and an understanding of your needs and time.
My approach is simple, I treat every family as if it were my own, every occasion as if it were just as special to me , and each event and subject with the same level of dedication that I would expect for myself .
I immerse myself in the experience, from our initial meeting and consultation, until the final prints are delivered.
It will be my pleasure to meet with you to discuss your ideas and requests, and to work with you to provide you with the perfect preserved memories which you can enjoy and share with your family and friends.
"Simon did a brilliant job on our family photographs. He came over, blended right in and inconspicuously shot very candid, natural pictures of our family in action. The kids were right at home with him and he was therefore able to take some terrific shots. We would definitely use Simon for our future photographs." - Tara L.
"Simon was very friendly, efficient, and creative with his shots. We were very happy with our engagement pictures and got a lot of compliments on them. "

"We were extremely happy with Simon as our photographer for our engagement. He is very professional as well as respectful to everything we wanted. Definitely knows what he is doing when it comes to working with different angles and poses. He is very friendly and conscious of cultural differences – he does well in adjusting himself to work with every possible scenario.
The qualities of the pictures taken were definitely above par. He sits with you and works with you on exactly what you want with the greatest attention to detail. He knows very well what shots would look good in black and white or full colour, or a mix of both. He has a clear defined knowledge of the business and it shows greatly in his work.
We are excited and very happy to have him as our key photographer for our wedding coming up in September of this year." - Dan & Miriam
"Simon was and is a pleasure to work with. He has great creativity and workmanship. He made our family feel relaxed and comfortable having our photos done. The photos he took of our family dog that passed away in December will be treasured memories and kept close at hand. Thanks Simon!" - Oakley Family
