We honestly couldn’t recommend Neil highly enough!

We’ve recently sat down and relived our wedding day on screen through Neil’s incredible photographs, and we can only describe him as a photography ninja; somehow always in all the right places at exactly the right time, without us even noticing!

His eye for lighting was amazing and really brought our colourful, floral-filled day to life. He found all the right places, perspectives and little moments, but our favourite part has to be the natural shots of our guests. The laughter, emotion and atmosphere have all been captured so beautifully, and every time we look through the photos we notice something new.

From our pre-wedding shoot right through to the big day, Neil made everything so easy. He just got on with it, captured everything we could have hoped for (and more), and never once made us feel like we needed to worry about organising shots or being involved. We could simply enjoy our day, which was exactly what we wanted!

Neil was also brilliant with everyone, from our young bridesmaids and ring bearers to our dogs! He just seemed to naturally get everyone (and every animal!) at ease, and his personality really shone through. He felt like part of the day rather than someone who was there just to take photos.

We honestly can’t thank Neil enough for capturing our wedding so perfectly. He’s incredibly talented, but more importantly, he’s a genuinely brilliant guy to have around and someone you can completely trust to capture all the important moments.

Thank you Neil, we absolutely love our photos and couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our day!

The best photographer📸

Neil was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the moment we booked him for our wedding, the customer service was outstanding.

We met up a couple of times before the big day, including our pre-wedding shoot, and the photos were incredible. On our wedding day, Neil made us feel so calm and comfortable, and his funny, bubbly personality made everything even better.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture such a special day. It wasn’t just us who thought this either, our closest family and friends all commented on how amazing he was!

Thank you so much, Neil, for being such a big part of our day and giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend you enough! 🤍📸

The perfect photographer

Neil really was the perfect photographer! He had a great package for registry office weddings which was exactly what we wanted and for a really great price. Neil had great knowledge of the best areas for photos in the Abbey Gardens and they came out incredible. Me and my Husband are really not confident in front of a camera but Neil made us feel so at ease and relaxed and I think it shows in the photos.

Absolutely amazing ⭐

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, he was so professional, reassuring and lovely to work with. It was such a relief knowing we’d picked the right photographer, meaning I didn’t have to worry at all in the lead-up to the wedding at all.

On the day, he made us feel completely at ease and captured every special moment so beautifully and naturally. He was so friendly, relaxed and easy to have around, and somehow managed to capture all the little moments we didn’t even realise were happening.

We absolutely love our photos and they bring back so many amazing memories of the day. We’re so glad we chose him and couldn’t recommend him highly enough! ❤️

Amazing photographer!

We were lucky enough to have Neil be our wedding photographer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Not only is he a very talented photographer, but he is also such a lovely guy. We had so many guests comment on both his professionalism and how lovely and friendly he was. He is great at blending in the background whilst still getting every photo you could want. In the run up to the wedding any question or query was answered very promptly. He had great communication with us from day one. On the day itself, he kept the day running smoothly and made sure he was there to capture every special moment. He also made taking all the photos fun and enjoyable, and if you have any different ideas he is more than happy to work with them. The photos we have of our wedding day are just incredible and are the most perfect memories of our day.

Neil is amazing!

I actually can't put into words HOW good Neil is! He photographed my sister's wedding in June 2025 so when we decided to get married in July 2025 we knew we had to use him too. He blends so well into the day, I actually don't know how we got some of the little moments that he did but he didn't miss a thing! He's also so relaxed, friendly, I can guarantee guests will love him! The value you get from him is amazing, we had a pre wedding shoot, photos on the wedding day, a preview a few days later and then all of our photos a month later and they didn't disappoint! We are struggling to choose which ones we want printed! I would recommend him to absolutely anyone getting married.

Special pics for a special day!

Neil is absolutely amazing and did a wonderful job at making my husband and I feel comfortable in our pictures. He was very professional and extremely kind. Got along with our entire wedding party and knew exactly what poses and angles would make for amazing photos. The photos were stunning, we absolutely loved them. We truly couldn’t have gone with a better photographer. Thank you Neil.

You'll have no regrets!

I can't recommend Neil enough! We're so glad that we chose to go with him for our photography. We were drawn to him initially from his portfolio, we really liked his creativity and use of light, and his willingness to help couples create their dream photos. We had specific requests for photos, too, which he was happy to make happen! From our first chat with Neil, everything was relaxed and he put us at ease. He answered our emails thoroughly throughout the process so I felt that the photography was definitely under control, one less worry in the run up! He was professional but easy going on the day, he put all our guests at ease, too. We're thrilled with our photos, and received so many of them! Definitely great value for money! The albums we received are just perfect, too. Thank you so much for capturing our day so well!

Our wedding photos

We had Neil do our photography for our wedding yesterday. The whole process was very relaxed and easy. I never thought I would be climbing a hill, or stepping through a bush in a wedding dress for my photos, but we did it and to be honest it was lovely. I cant wait to see our photos. Neil is such a lovely guy. Had his own ideas on how he wanted to take photos and took our ideas onboard as well. Very professional. 100% would hire him again for any future photography needs.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. From start to finish, Neil was professional, friendly and made us feel completely at ease. He captured every moment so beautifully, including all the little moments we didn’t even realise were happening.

Neil’s knowledge and experience of weddings is second to none. He helped keep our wedding morning running on time, smoothly and helped to maintain a relaxed atmosphere all whilst running between rooms to capture the special moments of the bridal prep and groom & groomsmen. Neil’s ability to get the photos we wanted was incredible, rounding up and organising a large number of guests for group photos can’t be an easy task but he managed with ease. We got everything we wanted and more by booking Neil as our photographer.

Above all, Neil has given us hundreds of stunning, high quality photos. Thanks to his beautiful photography we are able to relive every single emotion and memory of our day for years to come, something I feel is invaluable when booking someone to capture such an important day of your lives.

We can’t thank Neil enough for his photos of our day.

What a professional photographer

Neil was very concisensious making sure that our special day was going to have long lasting memories. He is obviously very experienced in his profession and that is one of the reasons we chose him after speaking to him at the open day we attended, nothing was too much for him and he covered angle of what was required.
We now have some wonderful pictures of our wedding day on 26th June 2026. We would 100% recommend him to all those who want to have fantastic photos and wonderful memories of the "Special Day"

Recommended to everyone I know!

Neil was fantastic from start to finish. He made us feel comfortable from our initial meeting, the price was reasonable and the engagement shoot was so professional and felt candid.
On the Wedding day, he was flawlessly capturing the day, including the little moments we didn't see, without being intrusive. For one man, I am astounded by how much he captured!
The end results were everything we hoped for, he instinctively captured the VIPs of our day and orchestrated some of the other vendors parts of the day ran smoothly.

We don't need to get married again, but if we did, Neil would be out photographer every time!

Neil Baxter - Superstar Photographer

Neil was absolutely fantastic start to finish, from the minute we met him we knew he would capture our day perfectly. He was entirely professional throughout and knew the exact spots to capture the moment perfectly, even if it required jumping through a field or running around a large pond to do so! He was great fun, interacted with the guests and managed to capture everything. We would recommend Neil to absolutely anyone who is considering using him.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
