Your wedding day wingman, always there when I am needed, blending in when I am not

HI, I’M ALEX

Why Who you have matters as much as what you get

I get that it’s not just about having awesome photos from your wedding. It’s about having the right person with you on the day. Someone you feel comfortable with. Someone you trust. Someone who means the photography isn’t something you need to think about when you should be focusing on your people and having fun. A lot of that trust is built long before the wedding itself. In the chats, the calls, getting to know each other, and setting expectations properly.

So when the day comes, and I arrive, it doesn’t feel like a stranger turning up with a camera. You have a mate coming to share your excitement with you. I’ve been told many times that I made couples relax the moment I walked through the door, and that’s something I take a lot of pride in.

How I work on a wedding day. For most of the day, you won’t even notice I’m taking photos. But one of the biggest unknowns couples have is about the time when it is just them in front of the camera. They imagine it could be awkward, forced, or like a full-on photoshoot. In reality, it’s usually the opposite. It often becomes one of the most enjoyable parts of the day. A chance to slow things down, breathe, have a laugh, and spend a bit of proper time together.

I’ll guide you if you need it, but I keep things simple. I don’t over-pose or mould you into someone you’re not. You don’t need to perform for the camera as by that point, I already know you and how you are together. I might suggest a spot with awesome light or a epic background, but once you’re there, you just be yourselves with your guards down, in your own little bubble. That’s where the real moments happen. It shouldn’t feel like it’s all about the camera, it’s about the experience.

you, Your People & Your Team

A wedding's not just about you two, it's one of the few times all your people are in the same place. Friends, family, different characters, all mixing together. I love meeting them and building quick rapport so everyone feels comfortable. I want your guests to be themselves, not stiff because there's a photographer lurking.

Same goes for your suppliers. On the day, we all become a team, venue staff, hair & MUA, celebrant, band, everyone. I work closely with them so things flow smoothly without you having to think about it. I love being part of the South West network, when we're all on the same page, your day just runs better.

15+ Years of Experience

I’ve been photographing weddings for over fifteen years now, so I know the structure, the key moments, and how a day usually flows. What still excites me is the parts I can’t plan. The individual elements you bring, the people, the personalities, the little interactions that happen once and are gone. Every wedding has a plan, but it’s always the people who make it completely unique.

I work best with couples who want to let go and enjoy every second of their day, where the planning has ended and they lap up everything and everyone they have brought together. With couples who care as much about their friends and family as the formal bits, and who want photos that are genuine and full of surprises. If that sounds like you, we’ll probably get on very well.

Life in Devon

Away from weddings, I’m a true Devon boy based in Exeter alongside my wife Nicola and our two boys. Music plays a big part in our lives, from house to hip hop to metal and everything in between, I am a bit of an old school raver but now we love to go to gigs together being entertained by our musically talented boys. Getting outdoors is how I reset, especially during a busy wedding season. Long walks on Dartmoor, fresh air, and being somewhere a bit wild keeps me grounded.

All of that feeds into how I work as a Devon Wedding Photographer. I love a proper party just as much as I love the quiet of golden hour, and that balance matters to me. Ultimately, I want it to feel like you’ve got a mate there on the day. Someone who’s got your back, keeps things chilled when it needs to be, and bounces around with you when things start getting wild, all while quietly helping everything run that bit smoother.
