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!

Our wedding

Neil was great on the day, very professional, got some great photos using the surroundings and wouldn’t have known he was there. Friendly and respectful, excellent value.

Highly recommend

Neil was fantastic from start to finish. Our original photographer cancelled on us 5 weeks before the wedding and we were lucky enough to find Neil through friends who recommended him to us. He was very organised and was very creative with his pictures and has a great personality to go with it.

Absolutely brilliant!

The pre wedding shoot was brilliant as we got to know Neil a bit more before the day, it also got us used to some of the different poses and helped us to be more comfortable infront of the camera (my partner hates having his photo taken)
Neil always kept calm (no matter how panicky and overwhelmed I got) and made me look like a cool calm, collected bride.
Nothing was too much for Neil we have some absolutely stunning photos and he even offered to take the bridesmaids to the church for us!
I recommend Neil every time I see/hear of someone looking for a photographer! I couldn’t be happier 😊

The best photographer in East Anglia

We met Neil at a wedding fair, we got chatting and straight away we loved his passion for photography and capturing the moment. During the process Neil was open and honest about the process and his thinking, which put us at ease. We had a pre wedding photoshoot that was included and he made it so easy when directing us for the perfect pictures. This was a huge help on the wedding day as we had idea of what he was asking from us.
Neil was incredible at capturing hidden gems of photos on the day and not being intrusive. He caught some beautiful photos of us before the wedding which meant we could look back at them together and see how each other got ready.
Neil went above and beyond to get our photos back to us and our album before Christmas so we could give some small albums as presents. Hand delivering them and making sure everything was as we wanted. This shows his love for what he does.
Thank you Neil for capturing our special day in the most beautiful and unique way. We love all the traditional photos but we really appreciate the quirky off the cuff photos that show the love and joy in the room and between us.

Can't recommend enough

I found Neil through looking for local photographers in Bury St Edmunds, and I feel like I stumbled on a gem. We were completely blown away by the artistry and eye in our wedding photos. Neil was able to capture truly special and candid moments, like my mum proudly watching us getting married or my uncle chatting away that I know we will cherish for a long time. He also staged us in some phenomenal pics. While we weren't after formal portraits, I think the group shots were some of Neil's best, when he managed to catch the character in all our guests everyone - something that isn't easy to do. Quite simply, Neil is a top-notch photographer, good value for money, and a delightful person to deal with to boot.

Amazing photos

We had Neil do our photos for our special day and I'm so glad we had him, in the morning when he arrived I was a worried mess but he was so calm and chilled he really took the weight off my shoulders, through out the whole day he was very relaxed and made the photos so easy to do.... and to be honest we didn't really notice him throughout the day...... but when we received our photos.... I just couldn't believe he managed to capture so much detail of our day..... our photos our out of this world and I really can't thank him enough for capturing so much of our day..... couldn't of asked for a better photographer

The best photographer!

Neil was recommended to us by a trusted friends sister. The booking and communication was great, Neil came to our house to chat and look at albums etc sometime before the wedding. This was great as we could get to know each other a bit better. We had a preview shoot a week before the wedding this was great too! Neil is very friendly, calm and professional, I didn’t have any worries, and Neil definitely contributed towards me feeling relaxed on the day of the wedding. It went very smoothly and he captured it just how we imagined. Neil helped with the flowers, and taking my dress up to the room so it was ready. He was also very honest about timings, and how things go in the morning like what time to put dress on etc which was very helpful. You need to have Neil as your wedding photographer! 100% recommend.

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.

Amazing photographer! Highly recommend

As soon as we met Neil we knew he would be the perfect person to photograph our wedding. He was so friendly and relaxed from the start. He listened to our concerns about staged photos with our children, but managed to get the most beautiful candid photos of them. He was so professional on our wedding day and we’ve had so many compliments on how brilliant our photos are. Neil has answered all of my questions and made sure to capture all of the specific requests (sunset photos!) we asked for. He returned our photos so quickly too. I would highly recommend him to anyone getting married!
