Hi, I'm Neil 👋

Hi, my name is Neil and I love photography. But I especially love to photograph weddings. For me photographs are art and should tell a story. And there is no greater story to tell than a wedding day.
My wedding photography style is natural and candid with a creative flair. For me weddings should be captured, not staged. For the majority of the day I am capturing all the love, fun and excitement of your day. Whilst obviously being ready to capture any group or portraits you may require. My philosophy is: enjoy your day & let me capture it for you and I will repay you with hundreds of images to help you relive your day over and over again.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Neil Baxter
My photography career started in 2002 working for a power tool company. Yes I used to photograph drills, spanners etc for their catalogue & website. Not the most interesting subjects but here I found my love for photography. I love art. Loved to paint & draw as a kid. My mum used to say instead of buying me treats she could put paper & pencils in front of me and I would happily draw for hours. I photographed my 1st wedding in 2007. I have been a self-employed wedding photographer since 2011.

Brilliant Photographer
Neil was amazing and with an easy going personality, yet very professional, he made us feel comfortable with both the pre wedding shoot and the wedding day. He was calm, organised and happy to go with what we wanted in terms of group shots. Excellent communication and prompt replies. We also had a few surprise photos which made us chuckle and Neil has captured our special day in ways that we couldn't have thought was possible and we highly recommend Neil to anyone.

Neil is an incredible photographer
Neil did an absolutely incredible job photographing our day so perfectly. He captured every special moment beautifully so much so that we're struggling to pick which pictures to frame, they are all stunning! Neil is an experienced and skilled photographer as well as a friendly and down-to-earth person and put ourselves and our guests at ease in front of the camera. Neil helped us in our wedding photography journey from start to finish and we feel so lucky we found him. I highly recommend Neil

Exemplary from start to finish.
Neil was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. On the day he made sure we got all the wedding shots we wanted, plus more. I am delighted at the outcome of the photos, & they perfectly captured our special day. Everyone that sees our wedding album comments on the stunning photography and quality of the printed albums provided with the package. Neil's work has been impressive enough for us to book both my sisters weddings with him too, a family birthday photoshoot & for the family business

So attentive and did not miss a single moment
He is such a friendly & easy going personality. I am very nervous to be in front of the camera but Neil made me feel so at ease. Also very good with children and my 4 & 2 year old loved him. He is also the most imaginative photographer & has such incredible vision. I'm not joking when I say he got us to stand on a random spot just outside the front of our venue & worked true magic. He saw an opportunity of the sun bursting through the trees & snapped my absolute favourite photo from the wedding.

He made us feel very special and at ease.
Our wedding was not your normal young couple and big venue. We're 66/76 wanted a small wedding with our reception at home, yet he made us feel very special and at ease. We wanted lots of natural photos with a few formal. He delivered 100%. You really did make our day.

His ability to blend into the background.....
Neil was an absolute star as our wedding photographer at Hengrave Hall. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our stunning photos, Neil's professionalism and attention to detail evident every step of the way. He effortlessly captured the essence of our day, preserving every precious moment. His ability to blend into the background while still capturing every significant moment was truly remarkable. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding day.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

2015, St Mary's Church in Bury St Edmunds (same place Michelle Keagan and Mark Wright got married) followed by a reception at Alpheaton Barns near Sudbury. It was just one of those perfect Weddings. The Bride and Grooms only request for the day photography wise was capture the day. They wanted limited posed images and everything caught as it happened. They loved their pictures and albums. I think what really pleased them was looking through and seeing all the moments they had no idea had been captured or even moments they had no idea happened.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Creative. Fun. Friendly. Unique. Discrete.

What about your business are you most proud of?

The honour and responsibility of being chosen to capture a couples special day. You only have one chance to capture a Wedding. And if someone trusts me to do this, that is something I am very proud of.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Plan ahead. Book early and do not leave anything to the last minute. Firstly you risk not being able to book the service/supplier you want. Also it's is better to use those last 2 weeks to double check your bookings, guests etc and make sure everything runs smoothly on the day.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

A Bride once getting up in front of all her guests during her ceremony to sing Amazing Grace. And she did sound amazing.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

We meet for a consultation either at the couples home or at their venue. At the end of the consultation I pencil their date in my diary and leave them to discus and decide. If someone else contacts me with the same date before I hear back I will go back to the original couple to give them the option to book before going to see the new contacts. Once booked and £200 non-refundable deposit secures your date and the rest of the balance not due until your actual Wedding Day. Your USB full of images is ready 3 weeks after your dig day. If a printed album is also ordered a digital proof of this will be ready with your USB. You then have the chance to look through your album proof and all the images on the USB and make any changes you require to your album. Nothing goes to print till you are 100% happy.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

There are too many to mention but one of the most important had to be the Bride and Groom sharing a romantic moment.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

The Bride and Bridesmaids all wanted to life their dresses to show off their bums. Unfortunately I turned to see a bunch of lads from the Wedding had decided to do the same!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

The main thing, is to not let it spoil your day. Everyone wants good weather on their special day but it is worth remembering a very large part on most weddings takes place inside. Hopefully the weather on your day will be perfect, but if it is not there are always options when it comes to photography. I have worked in many venues that are beautifully decorated and have suitable areas for group and Bride and Groom images. An experienced photographer will keep a good eye on the weather for you and be ready to go should the rain stop or slow down enough for some photographs outside. Use umbrellas whilst arranging everyone. Its the organising that takes the most time, not actually taking the shot. Or simply embrace it. I once had a Bride who's attitude was brilliant. It was her wedding day and nothing was going to spoil it. The Groom holding the umbrella during an embrace. So romantic.

Describe how you got into photography.

In 1999 whilst working in marketing for a large power tool company, I applied for a vacant job in their photography studio. My application was successful and I took on the role of providing all the photography for their catalogues, promotions and website. Within 2 years I was studying other areas of photography and in 2005 photographed my first wedding for a friend. I loved it and everything grew from there.
