UNLIMITED COVERAGE OF YOUR WEDDING CAPTURING all the emotion, fun and realness - Devon and BeyonD
The photos I love most aren't the posed ones. They're the ones that catch you off guard, the burst of laughter during the speeches, the quiet hug no one else saw or didn’t expect, the dance floor madness that goes on late into the night. I’m ready for whatever happens, because that's where the real stuff lives. No clock-watching, no rushing, no pressure. Just me blending in, camera ready, capturing your wedding the way it actually happens.
ALL DAY PHOTOGRAPHY - NO TIME LIMITS!
I offer unlimited coverage so you never have to worry about me clocking off too soon and missing the late-night laughs or quiet moments, I stay for as long as there are new things happening.
I turn up when it makes sense, maybe for the prep, maybe not until the ceremony if that's better for you. I stay until the party's properly done (or until it's just evidence collection and not magic anymore, though honestly, some of the best shots come late). No strict schedule means you're never glancing at the clock or feeling hurried. You get the full story, start to finish.
Need shorter coverage? Totally fine, we can tailor part-day to focus on the key bits while keeping that relaxed, real feel you want. Let's chat about what suits.
A fun and relaxed approach
Photography shouldn't feel like a chore on your wedding day. My job is to keep it light, easy, and actually enjoyable.
I'll join in when it fits, step back when you need space. If you want a nudge ("Look at the light, let's go!"), I'll give it, but only when it helps. Otherwise, we go with the flow. No awkward posing marathons, no ticking off a shot list unless it's stuff that really matters to you. We chat before the day about what you care about, so I know where to focus and you can just be yourselves.
WEDDING TRADITION MAKERS AND BREAKERs
Your day, your rules. The only “must do” is getting married, everything else is up to you.
Big party, tiny elopement, mix of old traditions with your own brand of chaos, it's all good. I don't force shots just because "that's how it's done." We talk beforehand so I know what's important to you, and the rest I let unfold naturally. Whether it's in Devon or further afield, I document it the way it happens, full of your people and your energy.
CAPTURING YOU AND YOUR GUESTS AT THEIR BEST
Your wedding's packed with tiny, brilliant things that vanish in seconds, a mate wiping away a tear, kids causing havoc in the best way, the kind of dancing that hurts the next morning (hopefully not falling off shoulders).
That's what I chase. Documentary style means catching the genuine bits, the laughs, the quiet bits, the mayhem, so when you look back, it all comes rushing back exactly how it felt.
HI, I’M ALEX
I’m Alex Toze, a documentary wedding photographer based in Exeter, Devon. I photograph weddings across Devon and the South West, focusing on natural moments, relaxed coverage, and all-day wedding photography with no time limits
I’ve been photographing weddings across Devon for over 15 years and I am laser focused on capturing the “real” in everyone. I work with relaxed couples who plan to do things their way, creating the most awesome experience for their friends and family, full of love, excitement, and even the possibility of a little (positive) mayhem.
For me, it’s all about the people. I work my butt off to bring the buzz and emotion of your wedding back to life through the photos, capturing moments as they happen, without the fluff, but with all the love. We become friends along the way, and I’m here to make sure your photos are packed with energy, realness, and all the best bits of your wedding celebration.
WHAT COUPLES SAY ABOUT THEIR DEVON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
A few words from amazing couples I’ve photographed in Devon and Cornwall
“Alex did an incredible job. From start to finish Alex put us at ease and in the best possible way we barely noticed him during the day (and we do mean that in a good way!!). Our photos are candid, relaxed and above all fun, and they just perfectly capture the entire amazing day and lots of special moments between us and our guests.”
Laura and Joe - Powderham Castle
“We have had lovely feedback from friends and family about the pictures as well as how patient and friendly they found Alex on the day - no one felt awkward or put on the spot, and Alex really added to the fun and relaxed vibe we wanted for our wedding. Couldn't recommend him enough.”
Amy and Kevin - Launcells Barton
“Alex was lovely from the beginning, kind and helpful throughout the day. He made us feel comfortable and gave us subtle direction without being too present. He is the perfect balance of professional and fun. We can't quite get over how fantastic and natural the photos came out, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
I dont think anyone else could have taken photos he did.”
Emma and Chris - Froginwell Vineyard

Being a Devon Wedding Photographer - In A Nutshell
Based in Exeter. I've been photographing weddings for over 15 years. I love it more than ever. Every wedding is different. The people, the energy, the emotion. That’s what pulls me in.
My style is mostly documentary. I don’t tell people what to do, I focus on what’s real, you being you. Proper moments that feel true to the day.
I work across Devon and Cornwall and I’ve got a soft spot for Dartmoor, North Devon, and the Devon countryside. I may be bias but being a Devon wedding photographer means I get to work in some of the most stunning locations in the UK
Couples often say I help things go super smooth. That I make the day feel calm, fun, and easy. I stay close but don’t get in the way. If you need a bit of direction, I’ll help. If not, we just go with it and keep things relaxed.
Before the wedding, I help you plan so you get the best from your time. I won’t push you to do things that don’t feel right. I’m here to support, not take over.
When you get your photos, you’ll see stuff you didn’t know I caught. The small things, the stuff you missed, the way it really felt. I want your photos to feel real, full of life, and full of fun.
If you're after a wedding photographer in Devon who brings good energy, and keeps it real, I reckon we would be a good fit.
