    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!!!!!!

    Neil captured the spirit and beauty of my daughter's recent wedding in a way that exceeded my expectations. He and his team were total professionals and a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process, and their recommendations always made sense. Most importantly, he has an instinct for how and when to get that unforgettable look and moment. He has our strongest recommendation.

    Neil Boyd Photography was excellent on ALL fronts. Unfortunately less than one week prior my main photographer (Neil) had a family emergency and he had to be away for my wedding. His associates stepped in. I was a bundle of nerves, but was put to ease when Rebecca and KJ offered their sympathy to me! Although it wasn't needed (God is not on our schedule - which was a great reminder before the biggest day of my life!) The girls were wonderful with my crazy family, stayed extra time and captured some awesome pictures!

    My favorites are those that get everyone laughing - or mid twirl on the dance floor - and of course of my little cousins mid bounce and laughter at the same time. The next best thing was going to view the pictures. Although it took longer than I wanted it to - it was right on time per my contract. We got to view them on a slide show and laughed and cried in one sitting. The group created a slideshow with the appropriate music - it was and still is perfect to watch. I loved them all and can't wait for prints!

    One recommendation that I would have to someone choosing Neil Boyd is having a good idea of what pictures you want. For example, I wish I would have chosen more unique poses for my bridal party, rather than those in a straight line. Also - I wish I would have requested individual photos with my girls.

    Definitely still recommend Neil Boyd! Can't wait for prints!!!!

    NEIL BOYD PHOTOGRAPHY's reply:

    Hi Carla, Thanks for the great review. I was obviously dissapointed that I personally missed your wedding by having to fly to England, but your understanding of the circumstances really helped my dealing with my family bereavement. I know Kristie and Rebecca had a great time working on your wedding and said you were one of the funniest brides they have ever worked with.Thank you - Neil

    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.

    I loved working with Neil and Kristie and am so happy that I chose them to photograph our wedding. You can look at their website and tell that they're a very talented photographer team but I really felt like they were an asset on our wedding day for more than just their photography. They were fun to work with and kept things rolling as we did all of the photos before the wedding, including the first look. They accommodated any requests we had for specific photos and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    I did a bridal portrait session in the studio as well and I highly recommend it! Not only did I get some wonderful portraits to display at our reception, it gave me a chance to get to know them a little better before the big day which was nice since I was a bit frazzled before the ceremony. Neil and Kristie work great together and have been working on weddings for so long that I found myself asking them for advice on other aspects of the ceremony as well. I highly recommend Neil Boyd Photography. The wedding will fly by in a flash and you'll be so busy you won't be able to take it all in, having such high quality photos now that our wedding is said and done is something I am so thankful for.

    After seeing Neil photographer several of our friends wedding we decided to commission him for our own big day. It was immediately apparent that we made the right decision. Neil's calm professional take charge, no fuss attitude is exactly what a chaotic wedding day needs. As one is often worried about who/what will need to be managed on the big day and I assure you it will not be him or his team. From the time we were getting ready to the time the DJ was packing up Neil made the most out of every second. Its a good thing to because in a flash it was all over and we were left wondering what happened. Luckily we have the pictures that beautifully and artfully captured the days events. We were able to enjoy the moments we shared as a couple as well as the wedding from the guests perspective. The work he has done with be something our entire family cherishes forever. We are so happy we had Neil and Kristie as our photographers, thank-you for making our wedding day memorable!!! -Jeff and Chrissy Myers

    Neil and his team are great! We have only seen a preview of our wedding photos, but are very happy/impressed with them. Finally, a photographer who knows what he is doing and how to give direction! He stayed on schedule and helped us get all the pictures we wanted. We can't wait to see all the photos!

    Neil and his staff provided great assistance throughout the process of booking, photo selection for an album, and beyond. Neil was great at providing suggestions (pressure free) for DJ's, florists, hair and make-up artists, and even his personal nanny's contact information when less than a week before the big day we needed a sitter for an out of town guest. Who could ask for service better than that?

    In our meeting he informed me that he firmly but politely directs people to where they need to be during the photo shoot, which is what I wanted so that we stayed on schedule and my guests didn't have to wait long for us to arrive at the reception. He was polite, funny, kind, and professional. His work is beautiful and I have many photos to cherish for a lifetime. I highly recommend Neil to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He's easy to work with and produces high quality memories.

    If you said to you that these photographers could make magic, you would probably think I am exagerating! But it is true! The movement and beauty that they bring to our wedding pictures is unbelieavable! Beth and Kristie were great at arriving on time, extremely professional, and delivered pictures that will be loved for our future generations. I have no doubt that there is a reason why they are number one! They will forever be part of our lives, when kids come, I will be booking my photo shoot with them! :) Great job ladies! You are awesome!

    Neil Boyd Photography was truly fantastic. They did my bridal portraits and wedding. When we met with Neil and Courtney we knew they were the photographers that we wanted to work with. Neil is the sweetest person I know. He shot my wedding portraits and was so easy going and made it lots of fun. Courtney shot our wedding and was outstanding! He was so easy to work with. I had no stress on my wedding day. Our pictures turned out amazing. We can now relive our special day and always remember how amazing it was. I cannot stress enough how great both of them are.

    I was excited to work with Neil from the get-go. As soon as I saw his picture and creative flair, I knew he was the photographer for me. He made our wedding day so fun and I got to let out my inner model!!! He has such a great eye. I've only seen two of our pictures so far and they are amazing. I know the others are going to be out of this world. I'll update this review after I see all of our pictures. If you want gorgeous, creative, unique photos for your wedding, you'd have to hire Neil.

    UPDATE after receiving my pictures: Wow! That's all I can say about my wedding pictures. I love every single shot and the set of pictures together tells the story of my wedding. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. There's so many good ones, I can't even pick a favorite:)

    Neil Boyd Photography was fantastic. Our wedding photos were beautiful and we loved working with our photographers on our wedding day. We bought a wedding package that included a beautiful wedding album and we were able to buy the rights to our photos. Neil took my bridal portraits as well and took so many awesome shots we had a hard time choosing our favorite.

    Choosing Neil Boy Photography for my wedding was a great decision. I am so happy with the quality of both my bridal portraits and wedding photos. Looking back on everything, I realize how important it is to have these amazing photos to document all of our wedding details forever. I really enjoyed working with Neil, Kristie, Diane, and Rebecca. They were so professional, so kind, and so talented!

    Neil and his staff were excellent to work with during the planning stages and through the entire process. I knew on my wedding day I would not have to worry about them and I was right. They were very professional and helped keep things running smoothly. They took great pictures and adapted well to the weather and church limitations. They helped keep me calm throughout the day. The finished pictures are great! I can't wait to get my wedding album. I would definitely recommend Neil and team.
