Neil Baxter Photography

Neil Baxter is an award-winning wedding photographer based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, who specialises in capturing weddings as they genuinely unfold. Neil’s belief is simple: photographs should tell a story. Rather than staging a photoshoot, he documents the fun, love and emotion of the day so couples can relive real moments — laughter, tears, family hugs and candid details — long after the last dance. With hundreds of weddings photographed, Neil brings calm, confidence and a warm personality to every event. Couples regularly comment on how at ease they felt: he’s discreet when the moment calls for it, organised when group shots are needed, and always alert to those spontaneous interactions that make each celebration unique. His style is natural and story-led — focused on authentic memories rather than forced poses. Neil’s approach is collaborative and low-pressure. He enjoys getting to know couples before the wedding so he understands how you want your day remembered. He offers a relaxed pre-wedding shoot to ease nerves and build rapport, and on the day he works unobtrusively alongside your plans, gently guiding group photos and creating space for natural portrait moments. His experience across Suffolk, East Anglia and further afield — from local registry rooms to large country houses and overseas celebrations — means he’s ready for any venue or light condition. What sets Neil apart is a genuine pride in being entrusted with such an important day. He treats every wedding with care, attention and a sense of honour, delivering professional, consistent results that tell the story of your wedding. Couples receive thoughtfully prepared images that reflect the mood and personality of their day — both in colour and striking black & white — presented in a lasting format you can treasure. If you’re planning a wedding in Bury St Edmunds or nearby and want photography that captures the real moments rather than a staged production, Neil Baxter offers a friendly, experienced and award-winning option. He’s passionate about making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera and about producing images that will bring back the feeling of your wedding years from now.
