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!

Amazing photographer who captured our wedding day so beautifully

We discovered Neal when we were having a tour of the Bury St Edmunds registry office. We were impressed with Neil's work, liked the fact he was familiar with photographing weddings at the registry office and surrounding area and were very satisfied with the cost.

On the day Neil turned up early, took lots of lovely photos of people arriving and captured the ceremony so beautifully. The photos of family and friends were very well organised before Neil took us off for some photos alone.

We liked the fact Neil was assertive with how he organised the guests and provided guidance whilst listening to our wishes.

The Instagram post the day after the wedding was a lovely touch and allowed us to share a sample of the photos before receiving the full set.

Neil is a lovely, friendly chap, an excellent photographer and someone we would recommend to capture your day.

Amazing photographer!!

We cannot recommend Neil highly enough! He is an amazing photographer. We are so happy with our photos that we will cherish forever. With so many photographers out there it can be hard to choose the right person and it felt like a daunting task. Neil met with us and showed us his work and we got on so well we knew he was the one. His work speaks for itself but he’s also a really chilled guy you can have a laugh with, and that put my husband at ease (he hates his photo being taken) so that was a bonus. The different package options were great and reasonably priced for the quality that you get, something for every budget. His communication was great the whole time. The included pre-wedding shoot was a fab way for us to get used to having him take our photos and for him to see how to get the best photos of us. On the wedding day he took the most amazing photos, most of them were so natural we didn’t even realise he was taking them as he just blended in so well. He got some great group shots without any fuss, it was kept fun and was done so quickly, which the guests loved. We are honestly so happy we chose Neil. The photos are so incredible, we’ve had so many compliments on them. Amazing memories that he captured. Would HIGHLY recommend!!

Top photographer

Neil is such a down to earth individual who made us feel totally relaxed during both our pre wedding shoot and our wedding itself.

Neil brings professionalism, laughter and knowledge.

Our post wedding preview photos were sent to us within 24hrs which was amazing.
Neil also hand delivered our final photos on a beautiful personalised usb stick within a few weeks. We cannot wait to see the printed albums that he has organised for us also.

Thanks for everything, you’re fab!

Amazing photographer

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more amazing photographer than Neil. From the very first moment, he made us feel completely at ease, and his calm, friendly presence was exactly what we needed on the day. Neil captured our wedding perfectly – every special moment, every laugh, and all the little details that meant so much to us. Looking back through our photos brings the whole day flooding back in the best possible way. The quality of his work is exceptional, and his passion for what he does truly shines through. We would choose Neil a thousand times over and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers beyond expectations.

Just perfect!!!

Had the best experience with Neil. The money you pay is worth every penny as the photos are just incredible!!

Found him very helpful as we had to change our wedding date due to family reasons and he was very accommodating and didn’t charge any extra for this either.

Pre- wedding photo shoot was lovely also FREE in our package. We also have an autistic son and he still managed to get some good family photos even though little man struggled.
We felt very comfortable throughout with him doing our photos and wouldn’t have had anyone else.

Overall amazing guy, amazing job! Thankyou :)

Brilliant photographer!

Neil was great!
Caught lovely natural moments with everyone.
Kept everyone at ease.
We’ve never had photos together and felt so comfortable. He knows what he’s doing and I couldn’t recommend him enough.
Great value for money!! And the USB package we went for was perfect! Even down to the little details of the box it came in etc was lovely.
Thank you

You won’t find a better abs more experienced photographer!!

Neil is just absolutely fabulous in all aspects of his job.

He liased with us on many occasions before our wedding, explaining things, giving advice and putting us both at ease..we both hate being in front of a camera.

A couple of weeks before our wedding we had a pre wedding shoot… this was brilliant because Neil was able to guide us and make us feel 100% more comfortable going into our big day.

On the day, Neil arrived promptly. He is such a funny and social man, he just fits in and you wouldn’t know he’s there!

We paid for the package where Neil arrived about 10am and stayed until just after our first dance at 7.30. He was absolutely amazing throughout.
All of our guests commented on what a professional, funny and down to earth man he is.

The album we received, the USB, and everything else after the wedding were of extremely high quality and we couldn’t have asked for any more.

Thank you Neil for making our wedding day so incredibly fabulous.

Best photographer

Neil was nothing short of perfect for our wedding. He was always helpful and on hand with whatever was needed, including taking my dress to the venue for me. He was professional and listened to what we wanted but also guided us with other aspects when we weren’t sure. Overall he provided amazing photos to last a life time whilst effortlessly blending in throughout the whole day. 10/10 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Incredible Photographer - Goes Over and Above!

We booked Neil to take photos of our wedding day in October 2025. From first contact, Neil was professional and friendly and offered us a great price for a whole day's photography.

Closer to the day, Neil arranged for us to meet him in advance for a pre-wedding photoshoot. Despite both of us being very nervous and uncomfortable in front of the camera, Neil put us both at ease and took some of what are now our favourite photos!

From Neil's arrival on our wedding day to the moment he went home, we greatly admired Neil's ability to be everywhere at once so that he got the best angles of us and our guests. He was great at wrangling our guests, and wasn't afraid to rearrange furniture to get the best shot. We could tell Neil had a great eye for photos, as some of the shots he took are incredibly creative - using reflections in tables and candles to make his photos extra special. We've never seen somebody work so hard for such an extended period of time, and the hard work really shines through the photos we received.

A few short weeks later, Neil hand delivered our photos on a USB. We're so very thrilled with our photos from the day, which are very high quality and a great memory. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Neil to any other couples looking for a photographer for their big day!

Thank you Neil!

Effortless, Friendly, and Stunning Results

Neil was an absolute dream to work with. He was so easy-going and instantly made us feel comfortable. He blended into the chaos of the day and the photos he delivered were genuinely gorgeous — crisp, natural, and full of heart. Couldn’t have asked for better. Would definitely recommend and think his service was great value for money.
