Eastbourne Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Alex, a creative, award-winning wedding and engagement photographer based in Eastbourne and covering weddings across East Sussex and West Sussex.

Planning a wedding in Eastbourne? You’re in the right place. My style is relaxed, emotional, and storytelling, capturing all the laughter, tears, and those fleeting moments that make your day unforgettable.

Experienced Eastbourne wedding photographer

Relaxed, Natural, and Full of Life

You want your wedding to feel natural and relaxed…

With photography that’s natural, spontaneous, and truly reflects the emotions of your day. No awkward posing, no forced smiles.

You want someone who has lots of years of experience capturing weddings…

Choosing a wedding photographer can feel overwhelming (there are loads of us, after all). My best advice? Find someone whose photos make you feel something, and whose company you actually enjoy. After all, we’ll be spending a lot of time together on your big day, so let’s make sure it’s a perfect fit!

You don’t want to miss out on the fun…

No disappearing for hours to hunt out photo spots (spoiler: I already know them all!), just more time to enjoy your day while I capture all the magic.

You want your memories to feel as special as the day itself…

I blend in like a guest. I capture all those little in-between moments you might miss. The laughter, the quiet glances, the hands squeezing tight, I’m there for it all, without getting in the way.

Wedding photography reviews from couples

Good to know

Wondering about the details?

What if it rains?

No worries, it happens! Eastbourne has some stunning venues with beautiful indoor spaces, ensuring we can still capture breathtaking moments. If the weather takes a turn, we’ll stay flexible and make the most of it. Rain never ruins a wedding, it simply adds a touch of romance and atmosphere to your story! Plus, a few dramatic rainy shots by the coast can make for truly unforgettable photos.

What time will you arrive on the wedding day?

I usually arrive a couple of hours before the ceremony to capture those all-important getting-ready moments.

Can you help us plan the timeline for photos?

Absolutely! I can help you plan a seamless timeline that fits your venue and vision. From relaxed getting-ready moments to stunning seaside portraits and golden hour shots, we’ll make sure everything flows smoothly while giving you plenty of time to enjoy your day with your guests.

Do you offer coverage of the evening party?

Yes! I’ll be there to capture all the fun on the dance floor, from your first dance to your guests showing off their moves. I love photographing the energy and emotion of the evening, these shots are always a hit when couples look back at their gallery.

We’re not very photogenic or comfortable in front of the camera, can you help?

Absolutely, and trust me, you’re not alone! Most couples tell me this at first. My approach is relaxed and natural, I’ll guide you gently and let moments unfold organically. No stiff posing, just fun and easy-going vibes that capture the real you. By the end of the day, you’ll feel like naturals!

How do we book you?

It’s simple! Drop me a message through my contact form, and we’ll start by checking if I’m available for your date. From there, we’ll arrange a chat to go through your plans and how I can help make your day unforgettable. I usually book up a year or two in advance, so don’t wait too long!
