What our clients say

  • "We will totally hire you again"

    Thank you so much for the other night. The photos are absolutely beautiful. We will totally hire you again for next year if we need a photographer, and I will also be recommending you to my friends and family if they are ever in need a photographer. I’m very impressed with your service as well as the quality and range of the photos!

    Rebekah van der Elst, Stantec New Zealand

  • "The photos look fantastic!"

    “I am so happy with how they’ve turned out – thank you for all your work over the past 6 months!”

    Emma May, Sales and Marketing, Bostock Brothers

  • "We really appreciate your service and quality work"

    “Another successful night for the forestry industry last night with your support as a valued service provider.

    We really appreciate your service and quality work, always making our role as event managers easy to manage the operational side of the show.”

    Prue Younger, Public Impressions

  • “He went above and beyond”

    “I used Simon for a 4-hour commercial photoshoot of the company I work for, New Zealand Frost Fans. He went above and beyond to get the imagery I had asked for in the brief. All the staff enjoyed his presence & direction.

    The post-production was incredibly fast, and overall, the team & I are extremely happy with the photos. I highly recommend Simon to anyone needing commercial photos. Thanks again!"

    Abbie Franklin, Marketing Coordinator, New Zealand Frost Fans

  • "An invaluable asset to your team.“

    “I had the pleasure of working with Simon at Pan Pac while updating the company’s photo library. Simon has a natural gift for translating rough project briefings into a collection of versatile photos.

    If you’re looking for someone who’s easy to work with and always comes to the table with ideas, Simon would be an invaluable asset to your team.“

    Jodana Samuel, Pan Pac Forest Products

  • "The results were outstanding."

    “Simon did a recent shoot for us and the results were outstanding. The photos perfectly captured the flooring, and we were really impressed.

    Googled a photographer for Hawkes Bay, and he popped up, looked at his work and contacted him. Prompt replies, constant communication and brilliant photography. Couldn't have asked for more. High quality and professional. Thanks Simon.”

    Jordan Macintyre, Advance Flooring Systems

  • "He really listens to the client’s brief and delivers"

    "Simon is pragmatic, he really listens to the client’s brief and delivers. He’s very personable and readily available. He captured all the mandatory images in the brief, but he also had an eye for things that stood out, that provided significant additional value to us. For example, things that were textural, creative, or just a bit interesting. We initially engaged Simon as a one-off for photography specific to our annual report and we’ve now retained him for quarterly shoots. I think that really speaks to the work he’s done. The imagery has been unanimously well received.”

    Dean Smith, Commercial Manager, Hawke’s Bay Airport Limited

  • "Delivers a great product every single time"

    "We wanted the new imagery to come across as fresh and refined in keeping with clean and safe water, and that's exactly what we got from Simon at SCP. Simon knew what needed to be done to achieve great results. He's extremely efficient and reliably delivers a great product every single time.

    Simon is a brilliant communicator and has been highly responsive to WTHB's needs. At the outset, he developed a friendly and relaxed relationship with our staff by spending the time to understand who we are and what we do, which has resulted in photography that captures our business, our people and our ethos perfectly."

    Cynthia Bowers, General Manager, Water Testing Hawke's Bay

  • "Flexibility and innovation."

    "I've been following SCP's social media activity for a while and I'd met Simon at networking events. I was very impressed with the calibre of his photography and knew when the time came I'd want to use him for Mangapapa. Establishing the brief was easy even though it had to cover a lot of areas. Simon visited a few times for reccis of the grounds, and rooms and to speak to the staff, we communicated back and forth until we had a really good mutual understanding of what was required. I've worked with other photographers in the past and the two words I'd say set Simon apart are flexibility and innovation. He was happy to make several visits to the hotel to make sure we got exactly what we needed to meet the agreed brief.
