award winning cotswolds wedding photographer
You’ve spent months (maybe years) waiting for your wedding day. You’ve gathered all your favourite people in the same room, at the same time. You want to remember how this feels.
Your uni friends are chatting with your parents. Your work colleague is doing something inexplicable on the dance floor. Your oldest friend, your newest friend, the people who've known you your whole life… they are all here, right now, to celebrate with you.
Those interactions, the laughter, the emotion of each moment, and the things you missed while you enjoyed every second of your day – that’s what I am there to capture.
I'm a documentary wedding photographer based in Cheltenham, and I've been photographing weddings across the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and beyond for over a decade.
I blend in with your guests like an old friend and photograph your wedding the way it actually happens. No scripts, no shot lists. No hour long photoshoots in a field.
Just you, your people, and every genuine moment of your day preserved in timeless, honest photographs.
hey, i’m alex!
your love, your people, your story.
documentary wedding photography
My style of wedding photography is rooted in honest, observational storytelling, influenced by both photojournalism and my background in street photography. Same instincts, different backdrop.
I approach each wedding with a focus on real moments over direction, capturing genuine emotion as it unfolds. I’m drawn to the subtle, the in between moments, the perfectly imperfect!
It’s street photography, just with more hugs and nicer clothes.
Alex was an absolute dream to have as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met, he instantly put us at ease and felt more like a friend than just a photographer. Alex didn’t just capture images, he captured feelings, moments, and memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. Every smile, every laugh, every little glance between us is there, and it feels like we’re reliving the day all over again.

cotswolds wedding photography
Cheltenham is the place I call home, and I spend a lot of my time capturing weddings in Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire.
My couples don't always stay close to home, and neither do I. Travel across the UK and internationally is not a problem.
Wherever the day takes you, I'll be there.

I only take on 25 weddings a year. That's deliberate. It means every couple gets the same level of care, attention, and proper investment from me. If your date is available, let’s talk.
