I was started doing photography for friends and family as they kept asking me, and then when more people started to ask I decided to set up Alex Wedding Photography. parallel to my other work.
I have a really relaxed reportage and documentary style and approach to a wedding, to make it as informal as possible so the bride, groom and guests also stay relaxed. Obviously if a bride wants it more formal then I can accommodate this but generally the day leans towards a more documentary style. I will always do whatever it takes to make sure the bride is happy. I'm trying to use the natural available light as much as possible and don’t use the flash unless I have to or I’m trying to create a dramatic lighting effect. I’m really surprised actually at how much I enjoy shooting weddings. I enjoy the challenge and love the satisfaction of capturing a particular person doing something while they aren’t aware I’m taking their picture. Capturing the spirit of the day, a laugh or expression, is what it’s all about.
