Alex Cossey Photography

Hopefully you'll only ever plan one wedding. When you do, it's stressful trying to work out what to sort out, how much to pay, who to hire, etc.. There's tonnes of things to think about. The photographer turns out to be one of the most important choices. They capture the memories of your day, and the pictures they take will be the ones you look at for decades to reminisce. They are also with you for a large portion of your day, so you need to pick wisely...

Just pick Alex.

He was great from the start. He worked with our loose requirements and helped us work out what we wanted. We had a couple of meetings with him in person (with him living near our venue), where he met with us in the evenings which was a huge help. Communication was great, very transparent and clear with what was going to happen on the day.

Then came the day... Alex arrived on time and had everything planned out in his head. Whilst we were getting ready for our day he was discretely capturing our interactions with our parents and wedding party. In the ceremony he was professional and made sure he captured all angles. We then wanted some formal family shots which he handled brilliantly to make sure everyone was involved and left time for us to have some amazing private shots before the meal. As the meal came to an end Alex came up to us and handed us some sneak peek, polaroid type, photos. We had no idea he was doing this for us and it really just adds that extra touch.

After the meal we had the first dance where Alex shot some more cracking photos. Then the best pictures of the day came as the sun was setting where we ran outside and Alex captured the essence of the day in his photos. Unreal. And then of course some lively dancing photos.

All throughout the day and long after the wedding, every guest was raving about "the photographer", not a bad word about Alex. The best man was particularly keen on him as Alex (bravely) let him take his second camera to snap some shots of his own. Our friends even held Alex prisoner to have a burger in the evening to chat to him.
Oh yeah also, Alex stayed later than we anticipated, only for us to learn that he had to drive a good few hours away for an early start the next day for another wedding!

Finally, the wedding blues hit. They start a couple days after the big day. But suddenly Alex sends through a small batch of photos to remind you of how good it was. And then only a few weeks later hundreds more come. All of them perfect, each one blowing you away more than the last, and you question how he had the time to get around to take them all.
And to top it all off, he helps you curate an album to be printed for you from his recommended supplier. He knows the best way to present all the photos, he works with you even after you put him on hold for weeks whilst you get distracted with life, and gets it all ordered for you once you've given it your approval.

Thanks so much Alex, easiest and most confident review I've given. We'll be hitting you up when we next need a photographer!

Can't thank Alex enough for being such a huge part of our day. Not just on the day but in the planning, he guided us along the way with good humour! Our wedding was a mad house with children and dogs and Alex jumped right in with enthusiasm and brimming full of ideas to get the perfect shots. Plus all that twirling practice after the ceremony set us up very nicely for our first dance 😉 So many guests throughout the day commented on how brilliant and helpful he was, and that's even before we saw the beautiful sneek peak photos!! Can't cant wait to see the rest. Thank you!!

As someone who is passionate about photography as a hobby, choosing our wedding photographer was a hugely important task. After doing some research online into local photographers, I was instantly struck by the clean & classy editing style and the attention to detail that Alex includes in his shots. No crazy over the top editing, just pure natural images. Despite only haven spoken a few times over video calls, when we met Alex for the first time in person on our Wedding day it already felt like we knew him and he blended in perfectly with our guests - no awkwardness or bossing people around. Since Day 1, Alex has made everything so straightforward, encouraged us to make our own decisions based on his advice and always been completely transparent when it comes to the price. We would recommend Alex to everyone & anyone, as we could not have asked for a better photographer!

We were recommended Alex’s services by a friend who works in media production and from looking at his portfolio of previous weddings could tell straight away that we loved the style.

Initial communication was a video call around one year out from our wedding, where Alex explained everything in detail including the various packages and associated prices (which were very competitive compared to other photographers we considered). He was also able to recommend a videographer for us.

A few weeks before the big day, Alex met us at the venue for a walk through of the site, coming up with a plan for the various shots we wanted.

On the morning of the wedding, Alex made the bride and bridesmaids feel so relaxed during their preparations in the morning, taking away any nerves and making everyone smile with his cheerful and friendly nature - which was reflected in the final photos.

For the rest of the day, Alex seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing an array of amazing photos from our bride and groom photos in the gardens, more formal family shots, to all of our guests as they danced the night away. He barely stopped all day! We loved the extremely thoughtful gift we received during the dinner, which was totally unexpected and confirmed to us we had made the perfect choice for our wedding photographer.

Alex edited the photos within a few weeks and we received them while on our honeymoon, which was far earlier than we expected and made for a wonderful evening sipping cocktails and reliving all of the memories.

We would both wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anybody looking for a wedding photographer. He is dedicated, professional and above all, a lovely person, who has given us photographs that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you!

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, Alex completely understood the style and feel we wanted and made everything so easy.

On the day itself Alex was an absolute joy to have around. He was relaxed, fun, and genuinely great company and he captured every moment so beautifully. Alex made us feel so comfy and we absolutely love our wedding photos!

Alex even surprised us with a sweet card and a handful of Polaroids on the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and something we’ll cherish forever. Another standout moment was seeing some of his favourite snaps appear on our DJ’s screen – it caught us completely off guard and was so emotional.

We’re so grateful for all the care, creativity and effort he put into our day. Truly exceptional from start to finish. Highly recommended! Thank you Alex!

Also, Alex saved the day and got a wasp out of the dressing room. As a nervous bride who hates wasps, I was very grateful! 🙏🏼

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Alex as our wedding photographer! The photos are absolutely stunning, and Alex captured every moment so naturally and beautifully. Beyond the amazing pictures, Alex was incredibly friendly, attentive, and easy to work with from start to finish. They helped make the day relaxed, fun, and truly memorable. We’re so grateful for their talent and professionalism — highly recommended!

We chose Alex to photograph our wedding day, and he was simply amazing! From the intimate ceremony with our families at Cambridge registry office to our bigger celebration in the garden of my childhood home, Alex went above and beyond to make every moment special.

Nothing was too big or too small for him; he was hands-on from the start, even helping me put on my jewellery before the ceremony! He blended in so seamlessly that many of our guests thought he was an old friend… and honestly, we wish he was. He was such good fun to have around and brought such a calm, easy energy to the day.

We’re both naturally a bit awkward in front of the camera, but Alex made us feel completely comfortable. His friendly, down-to-earth approach helped us relax and be ourselves - and it really shows in the photos.

He captured both our party and registry office day beautifully, even jumping on an E-scooter to keep up with us while we were on a punt! That was just one of many personal, thoughtful touches that made all the difference and truly set Alex apart.

His photos are more than just pictures, they’re works of art. Every image is filled with warmth and joy and captures us at our absolute best.

We’ll absolutely be using Alex again in the future, and couldn’t recommend him more highly!

We’re so glad we chose Alex as our wedding photographer! From the very beginning he was brilliant at keeping in touch and made the whole process feel really easy and relaxed. On the day, he was such a friendly, supportive presence and helped guide us through everything.

You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion really comes across in the photos. They’re absolutely incredible – better than we ever imagined – and we were amazed at how quickly they were ready for us. He managed to capture every part of the day so well. We’ve had so many lovely comments from family and friends already, and we’ll treasure them forever.

I cannot recommend Alex enough. From the start Alex was kind, caring and professional. He took time to learn about us as a couple, our story and also about our nearest and dearest so he could fit right in on our special day. Alex helped us to feel at ease and slotted right in that we almost didn’t notice he was there. Our photos are incredible and I could not recommend him enough. Thank you once again Alex. Truly the best photographer we could have asked for

The service we received from Alex was impeccable! His philosophy of natural photography captured wonderful moments of emotion, not just from my husband and I, but also from our friends and family. Before the wedding, we spoke frequently with Alex, providing location details and filling out an inciteful survey about the order of events. Two weeks before the wedding, we met Alex in person to discuss our ideas, hear his recommendations, make plans to accommodate the weather, and break the ice--which was so pivotal to the authenticity of our pictures. Every laugh was real, the highlights of the day photographed, and above all, it was fun!
We can't thank Alex enough, and we can't recommend him enough!

We would absolutely recommend Alex for any wedding photography. He was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and great on the wedding day to ensure we got all the photos we wanted. His friendly and professional approach put us at ease, and we're very happy with the stunning photos he delivered. We can't recommend him enough! Thank you!

Alex was everything we could have ever asked for in a photographer. Both my partner and I were a little nervous having a photographer follow us around all day, but Alex made us both feel incredibly comfortable and the shots he took are beyond what we could have imagined. I would implore you not to look anywhere else than Alex’s services. Not only was he professional, but clearly loves what he does, which made working with him a dream.

Alex is absolutely brilliant! His friendly and warm character made us feel so relaxed that we almost forgot a camera was pointing at us and we could just be ourselves! He made all our guests laugh and feel so comfortable! They all said 'Alex is the best wedding photographer we've ever witnessed'! He felt like a friend, and one of our guests rather than a vendor. He read the room well, didn't make us feel pressured to take photos at the wrong time, and took the most STUNNING photos too. We will absolutely keep using Alex for all our future milestones in life!

We could not have asked for a better photographer. We were a bit nervous about being centre of attention and being snapped all day, but Alex put us at ease immediately. So warm and friendly and also relaxed and flexible, happy to change plans when our friends grabbed us for a chat at the point we had said we would do family photos. Alex got excellent group photos and got them done really quickly so that we could make the most of the day with our friends. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once, but without anyone even noticing. He provides clear direction (for couple and group photos) and gets great reportage, natural shots the rest of the time capturing the emotion of the day perfectly. And all the pictures are stunning. A nice surprise was that we woke up the next day to find he had already sent us twenty photos from the key moments. I would highly recommend alex to anyone looking for a wedding photographer (or family shoot!)

Alex really was the perfect photographer! He captured all of the moments and memories of the day so perfectly!
From booking Alex to meeting up to discuss the day in advance, to Alex being there on the day everything was easy and he made it all work just how you wanted it!
We are not lovers of the forced photos but even those were so relaxed and therefore he captured so many candid moments. To be given a great snapshot of the pictures the morning after the wedding was fantastic, we were still with all of our guests so we were able to have a look through! Was in love with our photos even then but when they all arrived through this week I fell in love with them even more!
Every detail is there, every laughter and dance move was caught! We couldn’t have asked for more thank you so much!
