# Wedding Photography by Simon Cardwell

His portfolio demonstrates work at diverse venues including country estates, churches, hotels, and unconventional locations, with experience photographing destination weddings internationally.

This documentary style suits couples seeking photojournalistic coverage that prioritises authentic moments over formal arrangements.
