"I needed some promotional images of my hotel so I hired Simon. He spent time ensuring every scene was perfect and took a fantastic set of images which he edited thoughtfully. The images turned out to be far better than I had imagined and have been of exellent promotional use for the business. Simon spent a great deal of time ensuring the set of images were perfect, and the turnaround time was remarkably quick for such quality images. I would happily recommend Simon J. Newbury Photography!
- Ray (The Royal Hotel, Crewe)
"I asked Simon to pay us a visit in May to take some photographs during a Cricket match; arriving early he took some photos of the club and surroundings, and then spent the day capturing every twist and turn of the thrilling game.
Every member of Audlem Cricket Club is extremely happy with the results, and thank him very much! A very good, professional job! Well done!
We will definitely invite Simon back towards the end of the season for another days worth of photography. Thank you very Much Simon, Fantastic pictures!!!"
- Stuart (Audlem C.C.)
"We have recently attended a band photo shoot with Simon, and it has to be said it was a fantastic experience.
Simon not only puts the clients at ease, but works them to obtain the best possible image, capturing the right mood, light and atmosphere. We have had many pictures taken by photographers, but in all honesty it’s not hard to tell which Simon’s work is.
We will definitely be working with Simon again in the future and would recommend him to everyone. Bring on the location shots."
- Gash (Junker)
"We've been working with Simon for a couple of years now. He does all our live and promo work. The quality of his work is fantastic and he has turned round work for us on the shortest of deadlines. Our last photo shoot was magical, with a simple idea and a few bits and pieces Simon delivered exactly what we were looking for and delivered some striking and highly orignial images. He is currently working on the images and art for our forthcoming EP."
- Julian Casewell (The Longshanks)
“Simon recently did a photo shoot for our band, Photo Booth Smile, and produced some excellent quality professional photographs for us at an extremely good price. He has also photographed our gigs at The Box, always producing fantastic live shots. His attention to detail is superb.
We would definitely recommend him to anyone, and we definitely hope to work with him again in the future."
- Jasmin Dean (Photo Booth Smile)
"The photos I had taken were of a brilliant quality and the atmosphere in the room was so laid back and relaxed which helps to achieve a better photo overall. I recommend Simon J Newbury to anyone wanting wedding, musical or portraiture photographs"
- Sean Dyer (The Cat Radio Presenter)
"Having worked with Simon from September 2008 and thinking 'Wow this guy is good' back then, just imagine what we think of his photos now! We've done numerous shoots with him, used a load of his live stuff and taken him with us to Manchester Academy. Absolutely great!"
- Fake Heroes
"I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of Simon's photoshoot with my 4 year old daughter Molly, he made her feel so at ease and relaxed during the session. The final shots are outstanding! All my friends and family want copies! I recommend him without hesitation."
- Mike McHugh (Portraits of his daughter Molly)
"I don't know what Simon was expecting when he agreed to do a Sonic State photo shoot, especially when I told him we would be bringing 3 costume changes and our huge colourful personalities along with us!
We weren't sure how he would take us or even whether he'd have the patience to put up with our banter, and we were worried that he may try and mould us into something that we weren't, as we are very particular about how we look. To us, rock n roll is as much about the image as it is the music. But after just a few minutes with Simon we were put at ease and we felt like we could be ourselves throughout the whole shoot and we had every confidence in him that he would create great shots and be sympathetic to what we wanted.
The photos speak for themselves. You can tell by looking at them that we felt at ease, trusted Simon, liked him and the way he worked with us, and we had a great time.
We are absolutely over the moon with how the photos have come out. The colours are amazing! His attention to detail is obvious, every single accessory,tattoo or flick of eyeliner is there for all to see.
Fantastic work Simon, thank you very much for giving us the time, patience and belief to create amazing photos which we will be using for a long time."
- Jenny Zacharek (Sonic State)
"Having been a band now for a number of years, we have had loads of photos taken, live and on location. Never before have we experienced such attention to detail and so much depth and clarity to the shots! We will definitely be back for more, cheers Simon!!!"
- Glyn Sutton ( Flux)
"The photos are spot on Simon. Top quality, professional images at a great price. I would recommend you to any artist or band and look forward to working with you again soon!"
- Ryan Whitmore (Musician)
"Simon is a fine photographer who we have used on a number of occasions to take pictures of James and the Giant. His use of interesting camera positioning and clever editting effects have produced some good publicity pictures that the band is happy with. We would definitely recommend Simon to anyone."
- Steve Welch (James & the Giant)
"Simon does a great job capturing the spirit and the energy of a live performance, which is no easy task. He's unobstrusive to the performance and very easy-going backstage - Just exactly what you want from an on-location photography session."
- Rex Boyd (Comedian)

is an excellent photographer with an understanding of a sitters needs. I would happily recommend him to anyone I know"
- John Mann (Comedian)
"I
was delighted with the pictures, you were very patient with me and I
feel you got some great shots from what is a difficult subject.
I am using one of the pictures on a flyer for my Fringe show this
year and also I have put one of the pictures onto my website and a
few on Myspace. I will thoroughly recommend you to any of my
friends..."

- Friend Called Fred (Band)
"Simon approached us after we played our first gig at De.Bees in Winsford. We got to preview all the photos before we commited to buying them and we were really impressed with what we saw! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Simon and we hope to use him again ourselves in the future."
- Jessica's Ghost (Band)
"One of the most competent photographers we have worked with. Very professional and highly skilled. Will definitely be hiring in the future. "
- Title Of Injustice (Band)
"I was really excited to
have Simon doing the photography for our wedding day. I wanted
something different, something real...to capture the essence of the day and of
the mood. Well the style and ways in which the pictures were
produced was so varied and professional we will treasure them
always. I have never seen a more natural selection of shots
and the use of colour and content made them so original. The
day shots of people getting to know each other and the evening shots
as we were all celebrating were as I remember really happy - a true
reflection of the best day of our lives!
Thanks Simon and you too
Tina. I look back at them and it brings it all back as it was.
I would recommend you to anyone for any type of photography."
