The most incredible wedding photographer!

Neil shot our wedding and the photos he produced are absolutely outstanding! our ceremony took place in a cave, and despite the obvious lighting challenges he managed to capture the most incredible shots! Everyone who has seen our wedding photos is absolutely blown away by how well he documented every facet of the day. He was there from start to finish - I mean 7am til almost midnight! And he did such an amazing job of blending into the background, capturing wonderfully candid shots and making everyone feel relaxed. I would recommend Neil in a heartbeat, and I cannot thank him enough for documenting the most amazing day of our lives.

Perfectly captured ♡

We met Neil and his wife Sam at a wedding fair we attended with friends. At the time we had little intention of heading down the aisle any time soon, however after browsing through Neil's portfolio and getting to know a little about his style, we knew the second we left the table that we wanted him to capture our day. In fact, we were so inspired, we ended up booking our wedding venue only a month later! From the initial conversation, to the quote, payment and plans for the day, it was smooth sailing. We knew we wanted to spend the day in the moment with our guests and didn't want the photography to take us away from that. Neil helped to guide us with our photography plan, which ensured that we had the day we wanted, whilst capturing all those special moments and people. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, however Neil and his colleague made both us and our guests feel so at ease. The images arrived very promptly and took our breath away. Neil captured the story of our day perfectly.

Perfect, natural, the best out there!

Saying yes to getting married I knew I already wanted Neil to take my wedding photos. From the minute he arrived at my mums he was professional, from helping capture the most perfect moments to brewing up for all the hair & makeup artists that were on full speed. He captured every single moment perfectly throughout the day. We only booked him for half of the day, however he stayed longer and captured moments that I missed and each little special part of our day is told in all our pictures. Neil brought flares for us to have pictures with, and even gave words of wisdom and helped to wipe away my tears of joy when I arrived at the venue. If I ever needed a photographer again, it would always be Neil! He went above and beyond, even carrying a bottle of Chanel round so I smelt beautiful all day.
Even after the wedding, writing the most incredible blog, and seeing the pictures was a dream come true.

Everything we asked for

From the moment we met Neil and seeing some of his amazing photos we knew he was our guy. He listens to what you want, but we also up for him experimenting on the day to give us something different. Very friendly and puts you so much at ease, highly recommend the pre photo shoot so you know what's expected on the day and it's, a good time to get to know him before the big day. Any questions you have, always quick to respond.
Cant recommend him highly enough we have some amazing photos

Amazing amazing amazing

Neil is absolutely incredible! No job too big for him. His level of customer service is second to none! From our initial phone call to receiving the images it has been a sheer joy. He is always happy to accommodate an idea and location and explore options with you. The quality of the images itself were incredible, honestly cannot fault them at all and I've got a keen eye for detail! Worth every penny and would love to do business with Neil in the future.

Wedding Photographer

From the minute we met Neil at a wedding fair many years ago we knew that he was the best of the best. From making us feel relaxed at our engagement shoot, to being accomodating with our date changes. On the wedding day Neil made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable and the pictures back are amazing!! Most of the time you didnt even know he was there! Our family said how brilliant he was! Would 100% recommend!!

Best Photographer EVER just look at his work, his pictures speak for themselves

I knew Neil and I knew his work and I wanted him to be my wedding photographer way before I even knew I was getting married. When I finally got engaged it was a no brainier it had to be him. I had seen so many pictures, award winning pictures there was nobody else. From booking Neil to the wedding day we had so many messages to and from on things he’s done, things I wanted etc, he also picked me up many a time through coronavirus when I thought the whole thing might not even happen.

Morning of the wedding he turns up, fits right in and it’s not like he’s even there I’m trying to make him a part of everything but he’s quite happy snapping away…. Every point of the morning with me and my girls he was so professional in asking if we were happy for him to be there if we were comfortable he’s got such a lovely nature it’s hard not to be comfortable.

Long story short he was there all day and we barely noticed him but not in a bad way towards him because he was doing his job and he did that in the most amazing way…. He captured moments that you couldn’t plan, you couldn’t stage…. He captured everything special about my day and I will be forever grateful for that.
