about me

hey i’m alex, a cotswolds wedding photographer

You’ve come this far so I guess you want to know more about me the person, not just the photographer.

Well, I’m Alex (also known as Alf or Alfie) and I’m a multi-award-winning photographer, husband to an amazing wife, and father to a beautiful daughter (biased yes, but it’s true). I currently live in the beautiful Vale of Evesham, just on the edge of the Cotswolds and I photograph weddings all over the UK and anywhere in the world (still waiting for that Caribbean destination wedding though).

I’ve been a professional photographer for several years now but I still feel incredibly fortunate that I get to take photographs full-time for a living, and I absolutely love shooting documentary wedding & family photography.

And when I’m not working or spending time with the family I love to get out and do street photography, watch cheesy action films, play the guitar and listening to very heavy music.

Alex was fantastic and captured the special moments throughout the day. Each and every photo is beautiful and we can't thank him enough. Alex just blended in on the day and we felt so relaxed knowing he was getting brilliant photos of all our family and friends. Just amazing!

Sony wedding photographer

When it comes to my camera kit I am a huge fan of the Sony Alpha system and have been shooting solely with their cameras and lenses for the last couple of years now. The Sony cameras are fantastic and their size and performance suit my style of wedding photography perfectly.

I am also honoured to have been given the opportunity to work with Sony UK as one of their Alpha Creators. This includes delivering talks and presentations for Sony at photographic events and conventions all over the UK about my approach to wedding photography.

As well as giving talks for Sony UK I have also had the opportunity to speak several times at the annual The Photography Show at the NEC in Birmingham.
