The best photographer

we've recieved our wedding photos and album and wow they are amazing, I just wanted to say thankyou so so much we are so happy with them and so glad that we picked you as our photographer. Not only have you taken so many amazing photos but you made us feel so relaxed from the very first day we met you. It's nice to have someone who's so chilled and you can have a laugh and joke with without having to watch what you say.
Neil is an amazing photographer, he has literally captured every little detail of our wedding. I didn't realise untill we looked through our photos that he'd taken so many photos of things I wouldnt have even thought of, like the cards and gift bags I got for my parents and bridesmaids. The lighting and angle of these sort of photos just make them look incredible! Neil really does have an eye for photos, and even used my bouquet for photos with my cake and guest book. It's so lovely that we literally have every detail to remember.
We have so many beautiful photos and have had so many comments on our beautiful photos. It really does pay to have someone who knows exactly what they are doing!! as these photos you want to love and cherish forever.
even my parents commented saying Neil has captured everything, but you never really noticed him! he blended in so well, and what I love all the photos look so natural, everyone is smiling and I love a natural photo!
I can honestly say if you need a wedding photographer then definitely give Neil a call because you won't be disappointed!

The best photographer ever

Neil did the photographs for my daughter's wedding - he was incredible! From the first contact to the final delivery of photographs, he was so professional, friendly and engaging. He was unobtrusive on the day but captured all aspects of the celebrations that we had hoped for. He was always in the right place at the right time and the photos that he has produced bring me to (happy) tears every time I look at them. If you book Neil as your photographer, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing natural photos to treasure forever

Neil took some fantastic "natural" wedding photographs at our wedding in November 2024. Neil was the photographer at a friends wedding 7 years ago, so I knew the quality of his work and his character. Neil is always busy and that's the sign of true professional who is good at their job and majority of work is through personal referrals. Neil had the perfect package for our wedding and budget.

Neil communicated efficiently on the lead up to the wedding day and was responsive to messages.

On the day he seamlessly blended into the background to take shots of the ceremony and guests, before spending quality, unhurried time with us in Abbey Gardens. His comfortable manner with humour, made us both relaxed and meant that he captured some amazing natural shots.

The USB and presentation box was perfect and delivered in the timescale he had advised.

Our friends who are getting married in July have also booked Neil.

Neil captured amazing memories from our perfect wedding day, that we will both treasure forever.

I cannot find a fault with Neil at all, he is so professional and the quality of the photos from our special day is unbelievable. We are super happy that we can forever look back on them.
Neil made us feel super comfortable and we had such a laugh which calmed our nerves on the day. Everybody commented on the quality of photos and how professional he was. We cannot thank him enough and wouldn’t hesitate to have him again in the future.

Fantastic Photographer

Neil was great from start to finish. We loved the pre-wedding photoshoot included in our package, it helped make us feel much more comfortable on the day and great to have the extra photos. Our wedding photos are truly stunning. Neil was great with us throughout the planning and on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on how lovely he was and what an amazing job he did. Highly recommended!

Friendly, professional, thinks outside the box

Our wedding was not your normal young couple and big venue.
We're 66/76 wanted a small wedding with our reception at home, yet he made us feel very special and at ease. We wanted lots of natural photos with a few formal. He delivered 100%.
You really did make our day.

Exceptional Talent and Dedication

Neil was an absolute star as our wedding photographer at Hengrave Hall, From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our stunning photos, Neil's professionalism and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. He effortlessly captured the essence of our special day, preserving every precious moment with creativity and finesse. Neil's friendly demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to relax and be ourselves, resulting in authentic and heartfelt photographs that we will cherish forever. His ability to blend into the background while still capturing every significant moment was truly remarkable. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding day. Thank you, Neil, for your exceptional talent and dedication!"

Exemplary from start to finish.

Neil was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Everything was well communicated in good time.

We had a meeting at the venue ahead of time , an historic castle with challenging lighting, and also a pre-wedding photo shoot at the same time.

On the day Neil made sure we got all the wedding shots we wanted, plus more. All provided in digital and also fair priced print albums. There were several packages to choose from.

I am delighted at the outcome of the photos, and they perfectly captured our special day. Everyone that sees our wedding album comments on the stunning photography and quality of the printed albums provided with the package.

Neil's work has been impressive enough for us to book both my sisters weddings with him too, a family birthday photoshoot and we have also used Neil for some commercial work too.

Highly recommend.

By far the best choice we made!

We searched high and low for a photographer for our August 2023 wedding. No one came close to Neil. His reviews were amazing, he came highly recommended by a colleague, and once I got in touch his service was out of this world! We met for the first time for our pre-wedding photo shoot. I grew up in front of the camera, but my now-husband was very nervous and uncomfortable. Neil talked us through each pose, showed us a few photos as we went along, and made us laugh naturally! He was incredibly understanding of our 3 year old, who didn't want to cooperate, and still managed to snap a few lovely photos of all of us. The wedding soon came around, Neil was prompt in arriving to the venue and again, made all my bridesmaids comfortable as he snapped photos of us getting ready. He managed to capture beautiful moments throughout our day, and all of our guests who spoke to Neil, informed me of how lovely and friendly he was. He even went the extra mile and edited a select few photos whilst he ate dinner! Neil listened to what I wanted regarding group photos, even got the guests involved with a few cheeky photos that I had no idea about until we received the full package back weeks later. When we received our USB, Neil had produced a lovely keep sake box, with a personalised USB inside. Our photos are gorgeous, and so easy to flip through to view. Family and friends were able to download easily, and we will have our favourites hanging up in our new home. Thank you Neil, for making the happiest day of our lives even that much more special by capturing every moment! Would highly recommend Wedding Photography by Neil Baxter to anyone.
