Alex Gell Photography | Candid, Documentary Wedding Photography

Based in Newbury, Berkshire & Covering London, Oxfordshire & the South East

About Me

Hi, I'm Alex! I provide relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want to enjoy their day without feeling like they're on a constant photoshoot. My focus is on capturing candid emotions, natural interactions, and cinematic details as they unfold naturally.

Whether you're planning a country house celebration in Berkshire, an iconic city wedding in London, or a historic venue in Oxfordshire, I bring a calm, unobtrusive approach so you can stay fully present with your guests.

What it's like working with me

I know that being in front of a camera can feel a bit daunting. In fact, most of the couples I work with tell me they feel awkward having their photo taken! My entire approach is built around making you feel completely relaxed. I won't force you into stiff, unnatural poses. Instead, I seamlessly blend into the background to capture your day as it naturally unfolds.

From the quiet, nervous excitement of morning prep to the wild energy of the dance floor, I look for the authentic magic—the spontaneous belly laughs, the happy tears, and all the fleeting, in-between moments. When it is time for your couple portraits, I blend this relaxed approach with a high-end editorial feel, offering gentle guidance to create stunning, vibrant, and timeless images.

What I am known for

Beyond my unobtrusive style, I am known for my incredibly fast editing turnaround. I know how desperate you are to relive the day, which is why I'm usually straight onto editing the very next morning. I frequently deliver fully edited, high-resolution digital galleries within just 48 hours of the wedding!

My Services & Peace of Mind

• Complete Coverage: Every package includes a bespoke, private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your high-resolution images with family and friends.
• Pre-Wedding Shoots: I offer engagement shoots as a fantastic, zero-pressure way for us to hang out, break the ice, and get you used to the camera before the big day.
• Total Security: Your memories are irreplaceable. I always shoot with professional dual-memory card cameras and bring backup equipment to every single wedding, so your images are completely safe.

Whether you are tying the knot in a historic London chapel, a rustic Yorkshire barn, or a stunning Berkshire country house, I would absolutely love to hear about your exciting plans and help bring your vision to life!
