Karen Simpson Photography

Where do I begin with Karen, I booked Karen to do my wedding photography after I seen the results of her pictures of one of my best friends wedding. Karen was amazing in the run up to wedding and we had a meeting so she got to know us and the types of pictures we wanted. On my wedding day Karen was absolutely phenomenal, we got on so well and the bridal party loved her. What I loved about Karen's style was nothing is forced and it's all taken in it stroll all natural which I wanted. My kids adored her and she makes it so easy to relax and be calm. I couldn't recommend her anymore than I already do, she deserves an award for her hard work, dedication and helping at every turn. I hadn't even planned a reveal with my bridal party and she got me doing one and honestly it was the best choice as its a moment that I will cherish forever. Karen sent me a few teasers the morning after my wedding and I was in love already with them as they were perfect. I now can't wait to have the rest of my gallery back, we can't thank you enough Karen for everything you did for us. Love Charlie & Martin White (Dumfries Arms Hotel 2026)

I cannot recommend Karen enough - she calmed my storm and made me less anxious that the attention was all on me. From the moment she arrived, she was hands on - helped move all our stuff to the bridal suite as well as getting snapshots of everyone getting ready. Helped me get into my wedding dress pulling layers upon layers down making it fit perfectly. Karen got everyone in our wedding party in order and what was expected of them and shouted at them when they never done as they were told lol Our pictures turned out beautifully- more than I could ever imagine as we are both quite camera shy. Captured the day perfectly! Karen is more than just a photographer and we cannot thank her enough for all that she done for us making our special day amazing! Highly recommend - thanks again Karen. Love the Mabons xx

Karen was honestly amazing from start to finish. From our very first chats, she was so easy to talk to and really took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. It made us feel completely relaxed and confident going into the day. When the wedding came around, she just fit right in—like one of the guests! She blended seamlessly into everything and made everyone feel so comfortable, which really shows in the photos. And the photos… wow. We absolutely love them. She’s captured so many special moments that we’ll treasure forever, and looking through them brings the whole day rushing back. We feel so lucky to have had Karen as our photographer and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any bride.

We wanted Karen to be our wedding photographer because we loved her natural style, she captures the joy and love in all the photos she takes. What we didn't know was we would be getting so much more than just a photographer. She helped get my dress on, bustled it and got all the stains out as I'm very clumsy. Karen is a brilliant people manager and even got the babies laughing for pictures, she was hilarious and kept us laughing throughout the day - all the smiles and laughs in our pictures were completely natural. I would recommend Karen to anyone who wants their joy and love for each other captured on their big day. Also for anyone full stop looking for a seamless day - a part of my dress kept coming apart and Karen was there on cue with safety pins throughout the day. She added so much to our joy and the photos were some of our favourite moments. Karen is the full package, one day I'm determined to have her photograph us again!

On recommendation we decided to hire Karen to do the photography and videography for our wedding on valentines day this year. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for any photography for any occasion she is so good at what she does and let's just say " very patient. " We had a laugh from start to finish she had us all organised the whole day and it was all worth it 😀 we are so pleased with our photo's and video and she captured all the special moments of our special day. Thanks again Karen your a wee star ❤️ Mr & Mrs Millar 🥂

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, book Karen! We first came across Karen’s Facebook page after seeing the gorgeous photos she’d taken at other small, intimate weddings, and we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. From the minute we arrived at the town hall, she felt more like another guest than a photographer! She was so down to earth, friendly and funny, and somehow managed to keep us all calm on such a big day. She gave just enough direction without making anything feel awkward or staged, and, best of all, she didn’t have us standing around for hours! Karen's candid pictures are the best and the ones we love the most! She made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable, and the photos are absolutely beautiful. She captured all the little moments perfectly, and we’re so grateful to have such amazing memories of our day. Thank you so much, Karen. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone! Gill & Graham x

Karen is outstanding at what she does! She brought so much light to our day and kept us and the guests entertained while doing her job as photographer. She’s not just a photographer she steamed my dress for me and just was on hand for any mini hiccup! We had the best day and we didn’t feel getting photos was a chore! Couldn’t recommend Karen enough, she brought the laughs and got some beautiful photos of us on our wedding day. Thank you from Mr & Mrs Cavendish 26/03/2026.
