Hello!
I’m Simon Fazackarley, a photographer and videographer based on the south coast of England.
I’m so happy you have connected with my work, I love my job and think its the greatest – sharing amazing days, in exciting places, with brilliant people?
What’s not to love.
You can have me for photography, videography or both.
It’s important to find someone that will fit in with your day, so read on to find out if that is indeed me.
“Simon, you’re an absolute legend, we’re considering getting married again next year, just so we can hang out with you again!”

What exactly is a ‘Fazackarley’
Fazackarley is my surname, I’m Simon Fazackarley & it’s the name of my photography studio.
But wait, there’s more… It’s also an old english word that roughly means ‘the clearing at the edge of the woods’.
“An area that is extremely flat and treeless, with nothing to recommend it to the passer-by, for it seems to be a district of straight lines, devoid of any beauty.”
I’m trying to do something more notable with the name.
Glad you asked? Read on for more ‘interesting’ facts.
Hi, I’m Simon
I’m the guy with the long surname and I’m fortunate to spend my days surrounded by smiling faces, incredible moments and amazing canapes.
I’ll be the one with you and your family for the day, like a friend with a camera, blending in, helping it all go smoothly and capturing all the moments.
Think of me as a new friend, a calming and friendly influence helping you through the day, all-the-while capturing it beautifully.
I can’t take all the credit though, I run the business alongside my partner Heather, who keeps everything running smoothly and talks me off the ledge when the caterers forget to feed me.
I live by the sea with Heather and our daughter. I’m an outdoorsy kind of guy who loves misty mornings in forests and sunny evenings on the beach. I often have my four legged chum Thor by my side.
I really like biscuits.
Other than that, I love making, designing & building things – I’m happiest covered in sawdust, which is handy as we’re currently renovating our house.
Did I mention, I really like biscuits.
I love travelling, and would love to see more of the world. My favourite place (so far!) is Sweden.
Hi, I’m Heather
I’m Simon’s partner-in-crime, and stay mainly behind the scenes making sure everything runs perfectly.
I also edit our wedding films*, take a lead on smaller weddings and make sure Simon picks the best pictures.
*I have been known to shed a fair few tears when editing wedding speeches.
Away from weddings, I’m a Food Photographer, a keen cook and I love feeding people. When time allows, and even when it doesn’t, I love to lose myself in a good book.
I love trawling charity shops for exciting furniture finds and spending summers evenings by the sea eating fish & chips.
I share Simon’s love for building and making our house nice, although not his love of covering everything with sawdust.
“Simon dispelled any wedding morning nerves with his affability and (slightly risque) sense of humour… From reticent toddlers to reluctant smilers, captured all of the candid moments we were after… our guests commented on how friendly he was.”
ELIZABETH & SARAH
Where are you getting married?
We love to travel, we’re based in Sussex, but cover the entire UK. We regularly find ourselves in Hampshire, Surrey, Kent, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, The Cotswolds and Yorkshire amongst other places.
Nowhere is to far to travel for a great story.
