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!

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.

Should be charging more.

From first contact, through the actual wedding day and then onto getting the full package of photos, we could not have been happier with Neil.
He is incredibly professional whilst remaining very personable and fun along with it.
Getting the first look photos (30 ish) the next evening whilst at the airport leaving for our honeymoon was awesome!
He is incredible value for money, can't recommend enough!!

Absolutely Incredible Photographer

Neil made my husband and I's wedding so special. He was extremely quick to answering emails and getting the booking squared away. The price was a steal as well! He was super kind to talk to and made the experience so comfortable. He had lots of great poses and locations for us to try and overall I cannot recommend him enough. Neil takes stunning photos and his customer service is fantastic. You cannot go wrong with booking him for your wedding!!!

Neil Baxter Photography

Neil was professional from start to finish. He took some fantastic photos and nothing was too much trouble. Some of our guests asked for their own photos to be taken and he did this with no issues. He captured moments that we didnt even realise which resulted in some excellent shots. We would thoroughly recommend Neil for his friendliness, professionalism and for a great package.

Neil is absolutely fantastic..

From the first point of contact, Neil has been fantastic. We asked for a quote as we had a slightly different requirement and Neil gave us one promptly, not only was he quick to respond but he also advised us with whoever we went with, to make sure they have a back up camera, which we found extremely helpful and kind! We've known of Neil since he first started and are so happy that we went with him for our special day. Neil creates natural photos (best for us as we aren't photogenic) but can also create some amazing posed photos too, he directs you so you know how/where to stand and makes you feel at ease from the start. We're so happy with our photos from our day, we have a mixture from start to finish and can't wait to get some printed. If you want a professional photographer, who is easy to talk to and work with, that gives you the perfect photos to remember your day, work with Neil!
