Hi, I'm Neil - a full-time professional Oxfordshire Wedding Photographer based in the Cotswolds, offering UK-wide Wedding Photography coverage in a relaxed & unobtrusive style.
I have been covering Weddings since 2006 and have covered well over 500 weddings to date.
My Style & Approach:
My style is very much discrete Documentary Wedding Photography, recording your day in a natural, creative & storytelling way. With an emphasis on fun & capturing those special moments creatively during your Wedding celebrations. I will work closely with you to deliver a unique record, mixing my candid style with a small number of your required formal images. I only require to spend a short amount of "couple time" with you on the day
(I don't whisk you away for an hour during the drinks reception) to get a range of relaxed & natural portraits. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy celebrating with your close family & friends! However, I would always advise an evening or sunset walk if the weather is playing ball as a great idea, to give you a few moments away before the evening party gets into full swing.
It's all about the moments...
Wedding days are made up of lots of little moments, from laughter to tears, hugs to crazy dance moves...
"I had no idea my Dad was in tears walking me down the aisle until I looked back at the photos" - Liz & Tim, Caswell House
I aim to be in the heart of the action, capturing that moment when they happen, but also discreet enough not to make you or your guests feel uncomfortable. These moments are fleeting and you need lots of empathy to capture them, I will never take for granted the privilege it is to be able to be part of such important days in your lives.
There will be lots of joy and laughter, but sometimes sadness, when remembering all those people special in your life and they could mean more to you than you may realize at the time. Put all these Moments together - they will bring back all your memories and make the story of your special day...
I use a very natural style of processing to display your images. None of these dark brown hues or washed-out detail images that are common on most social media platforms. Many photographers describe this as "their style", to me it's just a fashion thing that is likely to go out of fashion as quickly as it came in. I do believe in capturing the image correctly and well exposed as possible in the camera, then using slight image enhancements to maximize the image quality. Images can of course be changed or filtered at a later stage, but the image you will receive will stand the test of time.
I am based near Witney in West Oxfordshire. The beautiful Cotswold countryside with historic Oxford and the surrounding counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire are all within easy reach. I am very happy to travel whatever your requirements are! Any opportunity to visit Cornwall and the Cornish Coast is hard to turn down! I have photographed many Weddings in most the beautiful and historic Oxford University and Oxford Colleges.
I use the latest Professional Fujifilm mirrorless cameras to record your day
, back in my office I utilise a fully digital workflow with many years experience in digital editing software.
My Wedding Photography bookings includes an complimentary 1 hour Pre-Wedding portrait session (or engagement session)
. These are a fun way of getting to know each other in a relaxed environment. Getting to know you prior to their Wedding Day is important to me. Its a great chance to discuss in detail your plans for the day, helping you feel a little less anxious about your wedding photography.
