When it comes to capturing life's precious moments, hiring a professional portrait photographer is an investment you'll treasure for ever. Whether you're looking for a portrait photographer in Hampshire or anywhere else, finding the right one will make all the difference in creating beautiful, high quality photos that capture the beauty and magic of life.
I’m Simon John, a photographer based in Hampshire, working across the south coast with a relaxed and natural approach to portrait photography, family photography, and wedding photography. Whether I’m capturing a family photoshoot with children and kids running free in the great outdoors, creating beautiful headshots in the studio, or documenting a wedding story filled with genuine connections, my goal is always to capture the best light and the authentic beauty of each moment. As a family photographer, I know how to help even the most camera shy feel comfortable, making the entire experience enjoyable. From advising on wardrobe choices to guiding you through the shoot at your chosen location, I focus on creating memories that truly last. I deliver a full gallery of final images through a private online gallery, so you can enjoy more photos, revisit the whole experience, and even turn your favourite photographs into artwork. My style is about telling stories through images—relaxed, brilliant photographs that feel like paintings of real life, celebrating family, weddings, and everything in between.

Personalised Sessions: I work with you to plan a personalised session. This includes choosing the location, advising on outfits and selecting the best time of day to capture the perfect light, all of which contributes to a unique and memorable portrait session.
Relaxed and Fun Experience: With me behind the camera you can relax and enjoy the moment, knowing every detail is being taken care of. So you can be fully present and enjoy the experience with your loved ones, whether it's a family gathering or a special event like a wedding, where you might also consider hiring a wedding photographer.
Digital Images for Years to Come: The end result is a collection of digital images you can share, print or treasure forever. So your memories will stay vibrant and accessible for generations to come.
Where Can I Find a Wedding and Family Photographer in Hampshire?
I've been a wedding and family photographer for nearly 40 years! I've been professionally taking wedding photographing pictures and family pictures since a young age. I was lucky enough to find my calling early. In that time, I've taken thousands of pictures that have become beautiful memories for families, new parents, blushing brides, and much more.
I'd love to speak to you about documenting your unique story, whether it's a family photoshoot or your upcoming big day.
What is the Best Way To Take Pictures of Family Life?
In my opinion, a professional photo shoot is a great way to document your growing family. Although we all carry mobile phones, a high quality portrait session gets you quality that a phone just can't reach.
As well, hiring a professional allows you to get great family photography of your whole unit - you can come out from behind the camera and join in with the rest of your family members!
Some of my clients have been with my from their first newborn to their now teenage children. It's a good idea to get amazing pictures as your family grows.
