About Simon

Edinburgh Based Wedding photographer & Filmmaker


My name is Simon Hird, and I am a wedding photographer and filmmaker based in Edinburgh, Scotland but am often found working all over the UK. Having documented 100+ weddings now, I’ve learnt the best way I can photograph your wedding is as your friend. I want to get to know you both, AND your friends and family. I’ll guide you through the planning process, be a warm and friendly face throughout and capture your wedding in the most honest and beautiful way I can. I know wedding planning can be a beautiful mix of exciting and daunting but I’m always here to help, whether that is to share advice, recommend suppliers or be a helping hand on the day in whatever way I can. I pride myself in being more than just a photographer on the day and want to make sure you have the best experience possible at your wedding.

Kind words From Sydney & Andrew

“I’ve been to a few weddings and it’s rare to encounter a photographer who feels so intrinsically and effortlessly part of the wedding as Simon was throughout ours. He started the day with us as a friendly face and left feeling like a guest! Simon’s creative ability is phenomenal and my Husband and I were so so blown away with what he produced. The day really seemed to come alive again and was captured so authentically to who we are and the tone of our wedding! Simon, we can’t thank you enough for capturing our day so wonderfully, you were an asset to us and have such a genuine heart for the couples you capture!”
