Cambridge-based wedding specialist Alex Beckett creates natural, timeless wedding photos. Friendly, unobtrusive approach ensures relaxed couple portraits and honest storytelling.
Alex Beckett is a Cambridge-based specialist in wedding photography, dedicated to capturing the honest, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. With a documentary-led eye and a calm, unobtrusive presence, Alex focuses on storytelling — recording the small glances, spontaneous laughter and emotional gestures that together tell the story of your day. Why choose Alex? He brings a clear emphasis on craft and calm direction. Rather than forcing poses, Alex guides couples gently and looks for real interaction, creating images that feel natural and timeless. His approach suits couples who want professional wedding photos that reflect how they truly felt on the day — intimate, joyful and authentic — without a staged or overly stylised finish. The working relationship is relaxed and collaborative. Before the wedding Alex takes time to understand each couple’s priorities and the flow of the day, so he can be present without interrupting it. On the wedding day you’ll find him moving quietly through the crowd, anticipating moments rather than manufacturing them. When couples do want portraits, Alex offers clear, friendly direction to help people feel at ease and look like themselves in the photos. Alex is equally comfortable covering the full sweep of a wedding — from ceremony and family groups to candid reception moments — and also offers engagement/pre-wedding sessions to build rapport ahead of the big day. These pre-wedding shoots are practical as well as personal: they help couples relax in front of the camera and give Alex insight into how to capture their relationship naturally. Based in Cambridge, Alex understands local venues and light, which helps him plan for the best shots throughout the day. His focus is always on delivering professional wedding photos that couples will return to time and again — images that feel like a faithful, emotive record of their wedding day. If you want a wedding photographer who blends documentary sensitivity with gentle direction and a commitment to authentic storytelling, Alex Beckett offers experienced, focused wedding photography in Cambridge that puts your story first.
