Alex Gell Photography

I blend documentary-style candid photography with a high-end editorial feel for your portraits. From the quiet morning preparations to the energy of the dance floor, my workflow is designed to be unobtrusive. I use top-tier professional camera bodies and off-camera lighting techniques to ensure that even dimly lit reception venues and atmospheric winter weddings are captured perfectly.

My documentary approach means I capture your wedding day naturally as it unfolds, rather than forcing awkward or stiff poses. I focus on authentic emotions, candid moments, and a timeless, classic aesthetic that tells the true story of your celebration.

Absolutely. While my primary focus is unposed, documentary wedding photography, I always allocate time for a curated list of classic family portraits. We keep these efficient and relaxed so you can get back to celebrating with your guests.

You will receive a fully edited, high-resolution digital gallery of your wedding day. The exact number of images depends on your hours of coverage, but I usually aim between 200 and 400. A personalised and bespoke online gallery is made for you to view, download and share amongst others if you wish. If time allows, I try my best to get a handful of images available for you on the day

I take pride in getting images over as soon as possible to clients, I’m usually straight on the editing the next day. I believe that whilst it’s nice having guests take and share their own photos, you deserve to have your photos of your own wedding day as quickly as possible! I’ve managed to get full galleries finished and shared within 48 hours on several occassions.

I have photographed beautiful weddings at many stunning venues across Newbury, Berkshire, and the wider UK. However, if I am shooting at a new venue, it is never a problem. I always research the location thoroughly and arrive early on the day to scout the absolute best natural light and classic backdrops, ensuring your final gallery is totally unique to your celebration.

Absolutely. I hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance. I also shoot with dual memory card slots and bring professional backup cameras and lenses to every single wedding, so your memories are always safe and secure.

I'm based in Newbury, Berkshire, but I regularly shoot weddings all over the UK, from historic London chapels to rustic barns in Yorkshire! Travel within 100 miles is included in my standard packages. If your wedding is further afield, I’ll just provide a simple, transparent quote to cover my travel and accommodation.

Amazing! The first step is to drop me a message to check if your date is available. From there, we can have a quick, no-obligation chat to get to know each other. To officially secure your date in my diary, I just require a signed contract and a £250 booking fee.
