Wedding photographer based in Eastbourne, covering Sussex, Kent and Surrey. Documentary, candid and storytelling style with full-day coverage, engagement sessions and custom albums

Wedding Photographer in Sussex, Kent & Surrey – Alex Buckland Photography

Summary

I’m Alex Buckland, a Sussex-based wedding photographer capturing stunning, emotional, and storytelling images. My style is relaxed and candid, focusing on real, natural moments instead of stiff poses. Couples often tell me they felt completely at ease in front of my camera, which is exactly what I aim for.

With over 20 years of experience serving in the British Army before moving into photography full-time in 2015, I bring reliability, calm, and dedication to every wedding. My goal is simple: to create timeless photographs that couples will cherish forever, documenting everything from bridal prep through to the last dance.
