ABOUT NEIL, THE FOUNDER OF MULU PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome to Mulu Photography
Behind the lens
Whilst I live in Hertfordshire I have shot weddings across the UK and Europe in my evocative style. I shoot candid, editorial images or as many would say, natural images with genuine emotions
I love weddings, just as well given the career choice, but I love the story of each wedding and i love to make new connections with couples, who I often see as many of my bookings come from recommendations and I am also invited back to do family portrait shoots after the wedding.
I was a TV and Radio Producer and worked on many TV shows. TV taught me a lot about story telling and imagery and they are principles that stick with me today to create your love story
So, how did I end up here?
Those rock and roll, partying days in the media couldn't last forever so I swapped it for photography. I trained in wedding photography under two very established wedding photographers who taught me how to see, anticipate moments and find chase the light for glorious photos.
I love what I do and I hope that genuinely comes across in my images. I never get bored of having a camera in my hand, in fact I am at my happiest when I do. Every shot is different, every couple is unique and every wedding is special.
As a natural, documentary wedding photographer, I have been creating wedding stories for over a decade and I have covered all styles of weddings; Hindu to Druid, Sikh to same-sex and right through to the traditional white dress wedding. I love them all.
I have been lucky enough to have shot in a wider variety of locations also. Everything from marquees to country houses, art deco cinemas to haunted chapels (apparently, but the spirits seemed pretty well behaved the day I was there), oh and lots of farms and barns, great locations....the list goes on!
Me in a nutshell...
I love floral shirts! Be kind!
I have an addiction to spicy food
I went to art school, yes Art schools are everything you think
I was a TV producer for the BBC for 10 years...I have some stories of the famous!
My team at the BBC won a BAFTA and yes, after party's are exactly what you think!
I have shaken the hands of Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Cher, John Hurt and many others...haven't washed my hand since!
I have also had the pleasure of take the photos of a few celebs also
I'm a decent drummer, terrible guitarist but pretty good at the ukulele (four fingers, four strings, that's how I roll).
I'm also a terrible snowboarder, despite decades of trying! But I remain enthusiastic
I LOVE dogs, the bigger the better, but all dogs...pretty sure i was a dog in a former life!
My approach to weddings
I love taking photos and I love weddings, just as well given the career choice. However, it's much more than that. I love the emotion, the fun and the details of every wedding that ensures no two are the same. Above all, I love getting to know the couples.
As a natural, documentary photographer I want couples to spend less time posing and more time enjoying the day, thats what I deliver for you.
