One of the most important things for us surrounding our wedding was to find a fantastic photographer. Neil absolutely blew us away with our wedding day photos as well as my bridal portraits. Neil had to play ringleader to a large bridal party and has the gift of being able to be stern/direct but also incredibly friendly and likeable. Friends and family have been blown away by the shots that he was able to capture and we absolutely love all of our photos. As we headed back to our venue after offsite photos, Neil talked me into one last and unplanned stop at the original Krispy Kreme Doughnuts store and that photo is one of my favorites! I'm glad I listened to him and felt that I could trust him from day one. I would hire Neil all over again and would recommend him to anyone. A huge thank you to Neil and his team for capturing so many special moments!

Neil Boyd Photography was the best decision made during our entire wedding process! Everyone will tell you that your wedding day will go by so quickly and the whole process is such a whirlwind it will be over before you know it. The day may be over but what lasts you a lifetime are the pictures. Therefore, having a quality photographer who captures the priceless moments and genuine emotions is a must! And that is exactly what Neil Boyd Photography provides. I used Neil Boyd for my engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and wedding photography and couldn't be more thrilled. Neil and Beth were a pleasure to work with on the wedding day and they captured every detail and moment from getting ready to partying on the dance floor. I will cherish my wedding photos for a lifetime and will continue to use Neil Boyd photography for family photos in the future.

I LOVE NEIL BOYD!!! Best decision I made hiring him for the wedding photography and we ended up using him for my bridal portraits and family portraits as well. Very professional and I love every picture that he took the only problem that you will have is choosing which ones to print because you will love them all. He will forever be our family photographer he is the kindest man and truly cares about you and making your day perfect. I have been again very blessed to have been able to hire him to capture all the moments of the wedding. He is perfection in every way trust everything he says and you will have perfect pictures like we did. Amazing person and photographer thank you again for being an important part of our wedding!

The photographers showed such imagination and attention to minute detail capturing the shapes, colors, expressions and moments of our special day. The outcome was breathtaking. When we viewed the pictures for the first time we simply sat there in a stunned and appreciative silence. They chronicled the essence and emotion of the day with such accuracy that we will be able to experience it for the rest of our lives. They managed to achieve this with a quiet professionalism and friendliness that made them a pleasure to work with. Thank-you!!!!!!

We can't say enough great things about Neil Boyd & his staff. They always deliver with a unique approach to shooting. We love the more photojournalistic approach so that every photo has a story behind it. Neil was flexible with shooting parameters as we wanted several different locations shot in Downtown Raleigh. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Neil Boyd. His personality is fun, direct & gets the images you want on your special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
