THE
Experience

What's it like having me at your wedding? From what many have said, it's like having another friend there. Someone that can keep you calm in the tense moments, someone who can hype you up when you need it. Someone who isn't overbearing - I ain't no watch tapper. I shoot the day as it happens, letting the moments unfold naturally so you can be safe in the knowledge that I don't 'stage' photos. Every frame I take is a moment in time.

RACHAEL + gEORGE

"Our photos are SO BEAUTIFUL; we’re just thrilled with them. 

We received hundreds of gorgeous, candid, “real” photos and the family portraits were so lovely too. It was great capturing all the photos we wanted to achieve without feeling as though we were missing the celebrations.

I couldn’t recommend Alex more as a wedding photographer, wish we could do it all over again."

Couldn’t have asked for anything more   We love how you’ve managed to get everyone included and we absolutely adore the golden hour shots so glad we did them!  
 

Honestly we’re so blown away!!! You’ve done such a good job! Thank you so so so much!!!"
