Sheri Sent on 13/08/2024Alex is unique, fun, professional and goes the extra mile for outstanding photos!
I had seen some of Alex's work and visited his website. I loved the vibe and the humour so I contacted without even looking for anyone else. We just knew he was the photographer for us.
Alex got back in contact very promptly with the same professional humour which really put us at ease from the get go.
We met in person to discuss the wedding photography, our vision and to get to know each other initially. Alex is very polite and understanding but also has a very personable, as a couple it felt as if we had always known him which made the whole process super easy.
He provided us with all the information... -

Incredible photographer 10/10 recommend
We met Alex at a friends wedding in Yorkshire. He was so fun to be around at the day itself and their photos were absolutely beautiful so we knew we’d love to have him shoot our wedding the following year. He was so easy to work with, very relaxed and reliable when it came to organisation. For our actual wedding he just slotted right in, alongside a second shooter he brought with him who was also excellent. Alex is a funny and personable guy so we genuinely loved having him as part of our day, and afterwards I realised there were countless times I didn’t even notice he was there taking photos, he was very subtle and respectful and... -

Fantastic photographer!!
We honestly couldn’t be more pleased with our wedding photos. Alex’s style is perfect, capturing the wonderful moments without forcing anything.
We have had so many compliments from friends and family. Alex was just what we wanted in a photographer, great at communicating before the wedding and great company on the day, very relaxed and really got our memo! We would highly recommend Alex for anyone planning their wedding!! -

Kate Sent on 30/03/2025Amazing Photographer, lovely guy!
Alex was a brilliant choice for our wedding last year. From consultation and initial conversations regarding what “vibe” we wanted to go for and how comfortable (or not) my husband was having his photo taken and how we got around that, to the day itself where he genuinely felt like both one of the bridal party and groomsmen gang, to throughout the special moments where we barely noticed his presence and our walk around York City to capture some city pics! We were so happy when we got our images! 😍 can’t recommend enough. -

Sophie Sent on 22/10/20245 stars will never be enough!
I count myself incredibly lucky to have landed Alex as my wedding photographer at such short notice and from the moment I spoke to him in our initial conversation I knew we were in good hands. He was not only entirely professional, highly skilled and talented but most importantly, fitted into our day perfectly. Our wedding party was quite informal compared to many weddings these days however he still managed to capture an amazing selection of images which we will treasure forever. If you want stuffy and boring he's not your guy, instead book him if you want to enjoy your wedding day and have fun with the photos! -

Nailed it.
Alex was AMAZING, from start to finish. Neither of us are super confident in front of a camera, my partner (now husband!) in particular. We wanted to capture our wedding and the moments as they truly were and were keen to avoid the day feeling like a photoshoot.
We had a FaceTime with Alex and immediately felt comfortable outlining exactly what we wanted, with him providing helpful prompts to better get to know us and the dynamic of the wedding parties/guests. We have a similar sense of humour which was lovely!
Alex made everything really clear and gave me a lot of advanced warning when shot lists were needed or payments were required. On the... -

Stacey Sent on 20/05/2024Fabulous photography, tailored to our requirements
Alex was just fabulous, he really embraced our low key, relaxed wedding, and really captured the vibe of the day. He was super flexible, fitting exactly to what we were hoping for and brought artistic flair to accentuate the individual elements of the day, including some super cool shots of the band!! The resulting photographs will be truly treasured. -

We are so grateful to have had Alex!
From our first video consultation right through to receiving all of our wedding photographs, Alex has been incredibly professional, guiding us through the process and he was so much fun to have with us on our big day! He made us feel so comfortable behind the camera and captured our day so beautifully. We truly feel so grateful and couldn’t be happier with our photos! Thank you Alex! -

Lucy Sent on 19/01/2024Absolutely amazing!
From start to finish Alex has been amazing!
We didn’t really know what we wanted from our wedding photographer- we just knew what we didn’t want! Our wedding and venue were very informal and ‘go with the flow’ so we knew we didn’t want a really formal photographer.
We found Alex from being tagged on Instagram by another supplier we were using and instantly loved the look of his work.
Our first meeting he took the time to understand how we wanted our day to go and what was important to us.
On the actual day he was so relaxed and just fit into all aspects of the day. We had said prior to the...
