Testimonials
You can learn a lot from a portfolio. But reviews tell you what it actually feels like to have someone with you all day.
Most couples I photograph tell me two things. They want natural photos, and they do not want to feel awkward or pulled away from the day. These reviews are from couples who felt the same.
If you want to understand how I work, how I make things feel relaxed, and what you can expect from booking me, you’re in the right place.

Alex was recommended to us by a guest at a wedding he had previously photographed, from the first contact he was polite, helpful and informative, answering any questions that we had. Alex explained his background, got to know us as people and we understood his values and also that photography was his real passion, he made us feel at ease whilst discussing the options and answered any questions we had about the big day and how it would unfold. He met us at our venue and showed us the sample album choices plus some of his previous work. The venue was new to Alex so we took the opportunity to walk the grounds and pick some fantastic spots for photos on the day.
Alex was fantastic at capturing those unexpected special moments when no one was expecting him to be there, he was great with the kids throughout the day, especially our 6 year old daughter, even when the bridal party was getting ready he kept an eye on her to make sure she was ok and wasn’t too bored!
When we had the photos taken after the ceremony Alex carried my flat shoes in his bag and even helped me change into them. Although Alex was there all day we never felt he was in the way of anyone or anything, he tended to melt into the background.
A number of our friends and family, who were guests at the wedding, have commented on how good Alex was during the day and also on how good his photographs are, some have said they think the pictures are better than full time professional photographers, Alex only does Wedding photography as he is so passionate about it, but the results are clear to see, we were so happy with our photographs.
Alex also helped us design our Album, we had so many great pictures to choose from following our special day we just couldn’t decide, but Alex really helped us make those tough calls when designing the album, we couldn’t have done it without him!
Alex was there from early in the morning to capture the Bridal party getting hair and make up done and getting ready, right through until after our first dance. He was competitively priced and provided a great follow up service, sending teaser videos and pictures in advance of the main album being produced from when we left for our honeymoon the following day. The slide show set to music was also a great touch.
Many thanks Alex!
We originally approached Alex about our wedding photography as he was local to our venue and we were impressed with his portfolio. Alex took the time to meet us for a drink in the pub which was useful to get to know each other, learn more about his work and style.
It was super relaxed and we did not feel at all pressured to commit to anything – this is the same service we got from Alex from start to finish. It was a real joy to have Alex photographing our big day, from the moment we booked there were surprises all along the way which really showed how much Alex valued our business and is a genuine top guy!
On our wedding day, Alex was running around all day and did not miss a moment (we had never really appreciated how tiring his job must be!). He also has great ideas for unique shots and is always looking for opportunities to capture the day beautifully.
We are so happy with our wedding photos and even the difficult choice of selecting only a few to print and for the album was made to feel relaxed and easy. Alex is super responsive on email and has a great website for managing the whole process.
We definitely got value for money and we would not hesitate to recommend to others. A huge thank you from The Salts!!There aren’t enough words to describe how perfect the whole experience of dealing with Alex prior to the wedding to receiving the most amazing pictures has been.
It was genuinely like having a friend there all day. And our photos just show how committed he is to achieving the perfect snapshots of our big day.
We will forever treasure our photos and continue to always be grateful to Alex for them.
I absolutely think you would be stupid not to have Alex as your photographer.
His photos speak for themselves though xxWe’d like to thank Alex so much for the amazing photos and album we recieved after being part of our special day. He really made every aspect from booking, to engagement shoot, & finally the big day so easy and was always there to answer any questions we had.
On the day, Alex felt like part of the occasion and he is such a people’s person so really made everyone feel at ease, especially when it came to pictures while we were getting ready. He took beautiful photos of the whole of our day and even got the little details that we may have forgotten.
He put every effort in to getting the best photos for us and we couldn’t be happier. He made such an impression that my sister has booked him for her upcoming wedding!
Thanks so much and look forward to seeing you in Jan!
Alex captured our wedding in Richmond Park in July 2019. He was very easy to get on with for both us and our guests.
We both received many positive comments from guests about how he was really able to blend into the background throughout the day. During our photo shoot he was able to put both of us at ease, to get some fabulous images.
Alex provides a really professional level of service from the initial meeting all the way to delivery of the exceptional quality album.
We can’t thank Alex enough for helping us to create wonderful memories.We can not thank Alex enough for the amazing job he done on our special day!
We truly loved every single photo he captured on our day, we couldn’t of wished for better!
We had so many compliments not only on our photos but of Alex on the day, how professional and friendly he was and made you feel so at ease and comfortable, you hardly knew he was there at times!
He went above and beyond to make sure he got those magical pictures!
Highly recommend! Thank you so much again Alex!!!!!Alex was like a family friend who we had known for years, he put us at ease with the camera & the photos that he has produced are incredible.
I highly recommend Alex for his creativity, his professional yet relaxed manner and his organisation skills. He made our wedding day joyful!We chose Alex to photograph our wedding in March 2019. We were absolutely delighted with all of the photographs and our wedding album was fantastic.
We loved that our photos told a story of our whole day and captured some very natural moments perfectly.
Alex was really good at making people feel relaxed and also managed to get some lovely formal shots. The quality of the photos were brilliant.
Alex was professional and communicated with us throughout the whole process; during the initial booking, on the big day and in producing the slideshow and album.
We cannot recommend Alex highly enough. Thank you Alex!Alex is a professional, personable photographer who captured our wedding day brilliantly from start to finish. He is easy to get along with and really put us at ease in front of the camera. Highly recommend!
Alex captured our wedding day beautifully, he listened to us and delivered with an exceptional quality! We are so pleased we chose Alex!
We’d be sure to book him for other events and also recommend him to family and friends.Alex photographed our wedding in November 2017. We found Alex through a wedding group on Facebook, being local to us and seeing his work, we knew it was an immediate match.
Alex was truly unbelievable and I cannot recommend him enough. From the initial consultation to the day it self, he has been diligent, attentive and best of all, fun!
All our guests commented on how good he was – got all our shots that we requested but we barely knew we were being photographed the whole day. We received our images in a good time frame, knowing that care and attention had been taken in every single one of them.
Even the aftercare has been truly superb. I would 100% recommend him to anyone! Thanks again Alex.
Alex was the perfect photographer to capture our wedding. From the first point of contact Alex was professional and gave us confidence we had made the right choice. Alex made the effort to find out what we wanted from our photographer on the day including must have shots.
On the day Alex had good time keeping a professional manner and was also very discreet. I hardly noticed Alex in the church even though he was only a few feet away and capturing pictures all the time.
We now have an amazing album of photos from our wedding including pictures of Mindy and her bridesmaids getting ready. We have a great selection of family shots, pictures of all the big moments of the day and what we really like is the candid shots of our guests.
The aftercare service was also prompt. The photo album contains well finished and edited photos that us and our guests can access on line. Plus the USB and photo presentation box are a nice touch.
We have already recommended Alex to others getting married as the service was brilliant.
Alex provided a fantastic service to myself and Jayne as our wedding photographer.
Not only are his photographs of a very high quality, capturing spontaneous as well as key moments of the day, but the man himself has a wonderfully unobtrusive, friendly and likeable manner.
From our initial meeting with him, through to the day itself and then the after-sales meeting etc he was a consistently charming, honest and professional man. He goes the extra mile, charges a reasonable price and perhaps most importantly, he has left us with a treasured memory of our special day.
Wholeheartedly recommended.
Relaxed, friendly and totally professional and the photos prove that.
Couldn’t be happier with them. Thank you so much Alex.Alex photographed our wedding day in June 2017 on the hottest day of the year!
He was very professional and captured so many special moments perfectly without being imposing or bossy.
We think of Alex as being one of our guests at our wedding, because he got on really well with all of our friends and family, which meant that he was able to take very natural shots.
We couldn’t have asked for better memories of our wedding day and we cannot recommend Alex highly enough.
Thanks again Alex
