Incredible service, amazing photography and an all round pleasure to have at our wedding

Well what can I say, Neil was recommended by so many people. His work is absolutely amazing and he felt like part of our family. I cannot express how great our experience with Neil was and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding!

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!

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.

Brilliant Photographer

Neil was amazing and with an easy going personality, yet very professional, he made us feel comfortable with both the pre wedding shoot and the wedding day. He was calm, organised and happy to go with what we wanted in terms of group shots. Excellent communication and prompt replies and since we didn't live in Bury St Edmunds, we had zoom calls to meet and confirm any details. The packaging containing the USB that Neil gaves with all the wedding photos is simply stunning and I have it on display. The photos were all high quality, came with black and white, colours and best of photos. We also had a few surprise photos which made us chuckle and Neil has captured our special day in ways that we couldn't have thought was possible and we highly recommend Neil to anyone.

Neil is an incredible photographer!

Neil did an absolutely incredible job photographing our wedding day so perfectly. He was with us the whole day and captured every special moment beautifully so much so that we're struggling to pick which pictures to frame, they are all stunning! Neil is an experienced and skilled photographer as well as a friendly and down-to-earth person and put ourselves and our guests at ease in front of the camera. We also had a pre-wedding shoot with Neil as part of our package which really helped us try out some poses and discuss our plans for our big day. Neil helped us in our wedding photography journey from start to finish and we feel so lucky we found him! If you're getting married soon and in search of a photographer, I would highly recommend Neil - please contact him, you won't regret it!

Just what we wanted

Neil was our wedding photographer and as we are not the most photogenic people we specifically asked Neil to take more photos in the background without people knowing rather than too many staged photos. I have to say some of the best photos he captured were those background shots. Neil was amazing from start to finish and he even came back at the end because he could see an amazing photo opportunity, which I have to say was an amazing photo. Communication was brilliant too and pricing was fair.
