"...Both Claire and Simon wanted a wedding photographer whose photographs spoke to them. It was important that they didn't just end up with a collection of pretty photographs, but a visual story of their wedding. I love working with couples who share my approach to photography - just watching the day unfolding and photographing those tender little moments that all come together to create an emotional narrative..."

"...On the day of the wedding itself, Sally, her mum and the rest of the bridesmaids, mums, kids and grandparents started off at the farmhouse, which is part of Haughley Park Barn. I love photographing in there - probably because it's almost like my ideal house. The lines and the light inside make for some stunning photographs. Also having a whole house to yourself to get ready in I think makes the day feel just that much more special..."

"...I've always made a point of just letting the story of a wedding show itself to me. Each wedding I photograph has it's own personality, it's own life - and boy oh boy, did this wedding ever have it's own personality! Maybe it's because I come from a small family, but I just love to see large emotional gatherings. There is something so genuine when you look at family being natural with each other - the laughter, the smiles, the hugs, the kisses. You just can't pose that kind of stuff. It's so delicate - it can't be forced through some stuffy line ups and coat hanger grins..."
Favourite Thing: The crazy couple!
Alex helped make an amazing record of our special day - we consider ourselves so lucky to have found him! The pictures we have are gorgeous, original and really reflect our personalities. On the day itself Alex was wonderful with our friends and family and coped well with our difficult relatives! It didn't stop once the photographs were taken...Alex has put so much thought and effort into helping make our album look beautiful and we have come away with truely wonderful memories and pictures to treasure forever...the only problem was picking a few for the album from the 100's of fantastic shots we have! You only have one chance at getting it right and we really couldn't be happier with the whole experience with Alex![Claire and David]
