Neil Mac Photo is a Peacehaven-based wedding specialist capturing natural, documentary-style wedding photos. Neil’s unobtrusive approach creates emotive, story-led images across Sussex and nationwide.
I’m Neil Macaninch — the photographer behind Neil Mac Photo — based in Peacehaven, East Sussex. As a wedding specialist with more than a decade of professional experience, my focus is simple: to create natural, documentary-style wedding photos that tell the story of your day. My approach is informal and unobtrusive. I work to blend into the background so you can be fully present while I capture the candid, unposed moments that often go unseen. Those genuine exchanges — the laughter, the quiet looks, the spontaneous emotion — are what make each couple’s story unique, and I aim to preserve them in images that feel authentic and timeless. If you want posed portraits, I’m equally happy to guide and create those moments with a relaxed, friendly manner. Working across Sussex and nationwide, I photograph weddings in a wide range of venues — from churches and marquees to family homes and contemporary spaces. My background in event photography means I’m comfortable with the pace of a busy day and confident in capturing both the big moments and the subtle details. My experience with property and interior photography also sharpens my eye for composition, light and atmosphere — qualities I bring to every wedding shoot to ensure your photos look beautiful on screen, in print, and in your album. I value a collaborative relationship with couples. Before the wedding I’ll take time to understand what matters to you: the moments you want me to be sure to capture, any group shots you’d like, and the overall tone you prefer. On the day I keep things calm, professional and personable — a steady presence who sees the story unfolding and knows how to capture it. The result is a gallery of images that reads like a storybook of your day — candid reportage, thoughtful portraits, and the little details that bring memories back to life. If you’re planning a wedding in Peacehaven, elsewhere in Sussex, or further afield in the UK, and you want natural, emotive wedding photography from a specialist who cares about storytelling, I’d love to hear from you.
