Hi from Hyde End!


Welcome to the Hyde End Studios blog. My name is Simon Kemp and I am a Reading based wedding & portrait photographer serving Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, London and the South East of England. I often travel further afield so please get in touch if you live outside the above areas.

This blog allows me to post some pictures of the amazing weddings, portraits and other events I am lucky enough to attend. I have a relaxed informal style of photography and like to capture those real moments and informal pictures that you will come to treasure.

If you haven't done so please take a look at my website and if you were at a recent event you will find the pictures here. As always, drop me a line if you need further information and you can of course call me directly on 0118 9885088.

Nicky and Andy's Wedding


Nicky and Andy got married today at St. Annes Church in Bagshot and in case you are wondering about the picture above, they organised a Spitfire Flypast (as you do) to commemorate the event. Kinda scary, as the fastest thing I normally photograph is a five year old sprinting onto a dance floor or a bride who is very late for her wedding.

The bride and groom have been together a few years and have a beautiful daughter, Amelia, who was pretty good during the day (better behaved than some grownups I have seen at weddings)!

Nicky was very laid back and organised in the morning as I shot some pictures at the hotel and she arrived early (!) at the Church. The vicar gave a really nice sermon and It was a nice, relaxed afternoon as the wedding party retired to Pennyhill Park Hotel for the reception.

Here's a few favourites from the day.

Amelia. Isn't she a cutie :)

Your Special Day :)

I do like a nice silhouette shot at the wedding.
You can almost feel the sunshine in this shot.
I love shooting detail shots, here's a few at the reception.




Not sure what was funny, but I love the expression :)


Nothing wrong with a traditional cake cutting photo :)
Thanks for choosing me, Nicky and Andy, can't wait to show you the rest of the pictures.
