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!

Winter Wedding BSE / The Badgers Wedding

Neil was fantastic from start to finish….he was booked by our MOH for our intimate wedding day. From the very 1st phone call, he listened to all of her insight into how the day would go (even thought it was very much at planning stages at this point).

Going forward he took every telephone call from both myself (bride) and MOH with unfaltering enthusiasm and energy given the ever changing dynamic of the ceremony!

Neil’s photography clearly speaks for itself, but I cannot recommend his people skills, creativity, flexibility and problem solving demeanour highly enough! You will not be disappointed with his presence on your special day, nor the beautiful photographs he takes.

I can also confirm that our MOH was very pleasantly surprised with his rate, given she had paid for his services as our wedding present!

Best photographer!

We booked Neil after seeing him in action at another wedding and we’re so glad we did! He was full of energy, constantly capturing beautiful, artistic moments from start to finish. Neil’s eye for detail is incredible, and he made organising people feel effortless. Our photos are stunning and truly reflect the joy of the day. Highly recommend!

Hopwood Wedding

Neil is hands down the best photographer.
He was so supportive and patient during our initial consultation, not just with what photos we wanted but things to expect worn like special day.

Neil kept the day running so smoothly and managed to capture our day perfectly.
He kept everyone spirits high and was very friendly and professional.
We received a sneak preview of our photo the morning. Before and our usb came about 5 weeks after our wedding which was an amazing timescale!
Our photos are perfect and captured every memory spot on.
A massive thank you to Neil and we would 100% recommend him to any couple.

Neil was just amazing. He felt like family he wnt above and beyond for me. Even when I was stressing he was there honestly you was such a special part of our day. It was full of fun and laughed and some drama and tears but you captured every part of it. Im so happy we chose you. Communication was amazing and even the pre shoot was amazing you really do capture magic in your photos

Captured the day perfectly

Absolutely stunning work!
Neil truly knows his craft, capturing the essence of each moment with a professional eye for detail and a creative touch.
The photos look incredibly natural, as if the camera was barely there - a testament to his skill.
He perfectly encapsulated the atmosphere and emotions of the day, making the photos feel like genuine snapshots of real life.
I would highly recommend Neil to anyone looking for top-notch photography that tells a story.

Amazing!!!!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Neil, From the very first meeting, he made us feel completely at ease and truly understood what was important to us, Neil bought along samples of what photos he had taken previously at our venue so we was able to see exactly what he could off on the day. On our wedding day, he blended seamlessly into the celebration, capturing every special moment naturally, without ever feeling intrusive. When the rain stopped play with photos he switched around what we would do and where and worked it all out for us.

The photos themselves are absolutely stunning. He didn’t just take pictures he captured memories. We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends, and we know we’ll treasure these memories forever.

There is no doubting Neil’s incredible talent, Neil is kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about his work. Right down to timings of when to put on my dress Neil had the day covered, prior to the day. The added pre wedding photoshoot also helped us feel at ease around him.

Choosing neil was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. In fact we recommended to my cousin for his wedding next year and they booked him up straight away,

Highly recommend Neil!

Me and my husband do not like having our pictures taken and so thinking about photography for the wedding was daunting and overwhelming. However, when we met Neil, he immediately made us feel comfortable, he was professional and approachable. He was very helpful, explaining his role and the photography, and we had even asked for his advice on different aspects of the wedding and planning, which he was very happy to do. All the guests were impressed by him at the wedding, and he took charge coordinating group shots which meant we didn't have to worry about it which was so helpful. We got our photos back after 6 weeks and are so happy with them, and looking forward to seeing the album in person! Definitely would recommend Neil, 10/10

Well worth the money - memories for life!

We had Neil Baxter as our wedding photographer in July 2025 and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Neil is bubbly, bright and professional, and instantly put us at ease. Unlike the traditional, staged line-up photos we’d seen at other weddings, Neil has an amazing ability to capture natural moments with depth and creativity. He worked so well with everyone on the day, even helping with timings and keeping things running smoothly while my wife was getting ready.

We chose the platinum package, and although I initially thought it was expensive, the results are worth every penny. The album we received is stunning and full of beautifully presented memories we will treasure forever. Neil even hand-delivered the USB, which just shows his personal touch and dedication.

We have complete trust in Neil and couldn’t be happier with the service and photos. If you want a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture your day perfectly, Neil is the one to choose without a doubt.

Godbold wedding review

Neil was absolutely amazing. He gave us good advice about the day and timings, people he had worked with before, videographer, stylist etc.
We didnt really have a budget as I've had seen alot of other people recommend neil and I had seen his work on social media, I knew i wanted him to be our photographer.
Neil was so easy to get along with and everyone at the wedding commented how easy going he was, how he laid on the floor to get the right photos etc.
My son has austim and I mentioned this to neil on our first meet, saying how my son doesn't like having his photo taken etc but I was so happy to see neil manage to get some brilliant photos of him, honestly some of our natural photos were absolutely brillaint!
I would 100% recommend Neil

Fantastic wedding photographer

We had the absolute pleasure of having Neil Baxter Photography for our wedding, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. From the very beginning—including our pre-wedding shoot—Neil was professional, super easy to work with, and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small feat!).

He was always on time, organised, and just blended into the day so naturally—capturing everything without ever feeling intrusive. The photo quality? Stunning. We were blown away by the way he caught the little candid moments as well as the big emotional ones. You can really tell he cares about his work. Our friends and family haven’t stopped talking about how amazing are photos are.

If you’re looking for someone reliable, talented, and just great to be around on your big day, definitely check out Neil Baxter Photography. Couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results!
