I want to provide you with photographs which will always take you back to how your day felt.
All the emotion. All the moments. All the love.
Hi, I’m Neil, a Manchester wedding photographer. I absolutely love capturing weddings, so much so that I have photographed over 400 weddings over the past 15 years, all over the world. But it’s not because I love photographing dresses or flowers, it is because I love photographing people and capturing real moments, exactly how they unfold with no interference from me. Knowing that these moments will bring back memories for you of not just how your day looked, but more importantly how it felt.
I also provide photography education for other wedding photographers through hosting workshops, Flash Masters my YouTube channel and my Patreon.
I am also an Ambassador for MagMod, Pic-Time and Studio Ninja, three of the most respected brands in the wedding photography industry.
I have won awards from the Masters of Wedding Photography, the British Institute of Professional Photography, ISPWP, MyWed, Wedding photography Select and many others. I have also given talks on wedding photography for many organisations and societies.
But for me, the greatest enjoyment will always come from capturing memories for my bride and grooms and, as a documentary wedding photographer, doing so in a way that lets you enjoy your day as if I wasn’t even there.
Wedding photography is my passion, the excitement, the moment and the emotion. And the best thing of all is that I love that I am able to share this with my couples.
To ensure I give all my couples my absolute best service, I only photograph 25 weddings per year.
REAL MOMENTS
When the photograph is completely natural and real, you will be transported back to how you felt in that moment every time you look at it…

Happy Halloween! 👻
For these shots I used two speed lights, one positioned behind the model, Grace, with a green MagMod gel attached and the other below Grace pointing up. This had two MagGrids and a MagSphere attached. I would never normally light from below like this as it is very unflattering but when you a shooting a witch that can be a good thing 😂
I also shot through cobwebs, which I bought from Amazon, and also used a smoke machine to add atmosphere. Thank you to my friend @tonidarcy for all her help on this shoot.
A full behind the scenes video of this shoot is on my YouTube channel 👻
