Superb experience, above and beyond what we expected!

Neil really went above and beyond what was required, both on the day of the wedding and afterwards, editing the photographs. They were incredible!

He arrived slightly earlier than we agreed, was very helpful throughout the day, and gave useful advice based on his wedding experience. Additionally, many of our guests pointed out how friendly and professional he came across during the ceremony and reception.

The thing we are grateful for the most is him having the photos ready so quickly. I was able to send a first batch (of around 50-60 photos) to my mum and dad the next day and the full batch a few days after. We're really impressed with the work. He knew my parents were abroad and couldn't make it, so gave us a few shots only hours after the ceremony so I could send them over! And quality certainly didn't suffer - they were as polished as photos from other photographers I have worked with sending them up to a month after the event.

All in all, a superb experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer in the area!

Beautiful shots

Neil was absolutely lovely and made me feel a lot less nervous about having my picture taken. The shots we’ve seen so far (wedding was yesterday as of writing this) were stunning

Exactly what we'd hoped for!

Neil is exactly what you'd hope your wedding photographer to be - patient, calm, kind and produces fantastic photos! Neil met up with us a few weeks before the wedding to discuss what we wanted (though we were a bit clueless!) and immediately put us at ease with his calm manner and good ideas. Not only did he take photos of everything we had asked him to on our wedding day (formal photos, our decorations, our guests arriving) but he continuously came up with great shots that we hadn't even considered. He also never got in the way of our guests - at one point he was stood under a coat rail so he was out the way but could keep on taking photographs. The weather on our wedding day was rainy but we are glad we listened to him and he took some amazing photos outside with our castle venue backdrop - though when the wedding dress started to get wet we hurried back inside and never felt under any pressure from Neil. He sent the photographs to us really quickly too, less than a week after the wedding which was really appreciated and exciting! The warmth of the colours he uses adds a lovely style to his photos and the candids feel very natural. Many thanks Neil!!!

Brilliant photographer and lovely person!

Firstly, Neil is one of the nicest people we've ever met! It was a pleasure to have him around us on such a significant day. He was calm, gentle and supportive. Most importantly of course, he is a fantastic photographer - he had a brilliant eye for capturing the most special moments of our wedding day, both obvious and subtle. Everyone was pleased with how they looked in the pictures he took, especially us as bride and groom! As a slightly older bride and someone who is not used to wearing so much makeup, I was worried I wouldn't look like myself but I feel the photos show me as youthful, elegant, joyful and genuine. Throughout the whole experience from inquiring about a price to receiving our photos, Neil was great to communicate with, very responsive and collaborative. The turnaround for getting our photos back was only a week as well, which was amazing! It was so exciting to go through them all and we are in love with them as a lasting memory of our magnificent day. If you are at all unsure who to book as a photographer - don't hesitate to choose Neil, we couldn't recommend him more highly.

Brilliant from start to end

Neil was absolutely brilliant from start to end. The booking process was easy and he was super responsive in the run up to the wedding and afterwards. He had good availability at relatively short notice. He was also great on the day: on time, polite, thorough, reassuring, calming and effective. He had plenty of ideas and suggestions to make the most of the light and the setting, and went above and beyond to get shots that we didn't even make it to :) We were amazed by how quick we were able to see the whole set of photographs. We got a preview the day after our wedding and the full set a couple of days after that. The photographs captured the day brilliantly and we will be forever grateful to Neil. We would no doubt highly recommend Neil.

Sensitive, helpful, wonderful photographer

Neil was the photographer for the wedding of my daughter Felicity, to her husband, Tom, in Northumberland, June 2021.
Neil was an observant, friendly and reassuring presence and we love the images he took. He captured the essence and joy of the day without intruding on the occasion. He was very observant in snapping the many small events (such as my daughter bidding farewell to the much loved cat!) as well as the bigger occasions during and after the ceremony. The photos we liked the most were the informal pictures that we barely realised had been taken such as the celebration of the bride and bridesmaids prior to leaving for the ceremony.
He also got some beautiful, relaxed images of the newlyweds walking through the adjacent park. We had such a happy, informal, joyful day and Neil captured this in the hundreds of wonderful photographs he produced. The only problem was narrowing them down for the albums!
I have no hesitation in recommending him as a wedding photographer.

Everything we asked for and more

From when I first started texting Neil, he was very professional, prompt replies, come to our house to discuss what we wanted and when we wanted. He explained what would happen when the photos were ready. He even uploaded all of them from his Computer to a usb for us, even uploaded some of them on to a website we paid for ( from another company) at our wedding that we had asked guests to upload.

Amazing photographer, highly recommend!

Highly recommend Neil for wedding photos! He knew exactly where and when to capture the most amazing moments and ensured we had the perfect balance of beautifully staged and candid photos. Throughout the day he showed us a handful of great shots on his camera and by 10am the next morning he was able to share a variety of final photos with us. He was highly professional, easy to be around and truly helped to make our day as special as possible.

The perfect choice!

Neil has taken such beautiful photographs of our elopement wedding that we will cherish forever. He made us feel at ease, allowing him to capture not only the intimate glances and precious moments but also the enchanting scenery of Langley Castle, the magical backdrop we chose for our special day. We cannot thank him enough!

A wonderful photographer!

I got married in November 2023 and could not recommend Neil enough. Not only is he a fantastic photographer, but he was a pleasure to have around.
Neither my husband or I would say we were particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Neil soon put us at ease.
He went above and beyond in the run up to our wedding,visiting the church beforehand and having a practice shoot with us for example.He was also incredibly responsive to any queries we had.
He was very calm and reassuring on the big day and captured beautiful moments from our wedding that I really will treasure forever.

Outstanding photographer - a must for immortalising your special day

Neil was a pleasure to be around, reassuring and very professional. His work is outstanding, we gave a loose description of how we would like to capture our day… he totally surpassed our expectations. We love our photographs.
We would recommend Neil again and again. What a true professional, a master of his art, and a true gent.

Wedding photographs

Neil did a fantastic job at our wedding in May 2022. He took time to meet with us to understand our requirements, and captured some brilliant natural photos, and was very unobtrusive throughout the day. Our photos came back really quickly too, and we love our wedding album. We have had so many compliments on the photos. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very Highly Recommended!

Neil was the perfect photographer for our day. So approachable and open to our ideas beforehand and on the day, as well as coming up with great ideas for photos as the day went along. He took so many wonderful photos that we found it very hard to narrow them down to fit in an album. He was incredibly professional and discreet throughout the long day and many of our guests commented so too. We sincerely recommend him to everyone.

Couldn’t have asked for more

Neil immediately stood out - his suggestions were really tailored to us, our interests and what we wanted.
He didn’t disappoint on the day - we had an intimate wedding (just the two of us), and Neil was great to have around, friendly, super ideas for pictures and very happy to make suggestions or take our lead.
The photos are incredible - everyone has commented on them and how great they are. A true reflection of our day and fantastic memories to keep forever.

Neil is a fantastic photographer who has captured us some absolutely amazing photographs.

Neil went above and beyond on our wedding day and we couldn’t thank him enough. After many postponements he moved dates around for us without any issue at all and we got our perfect day on the 15.9.21. Neil couldn’t of captured it any better, we now have far to many photos to chose from. We couldn’t recommend Neil enough! He is extremely professional and in all honesty you forget he’s there but the quality of his photos are out of this world. Neil is also extremely good value for money compared to most other photographers. We would definitely use Neil again and all of our guests have commented on how fantastic both Neil and his photos are.
